Product details
Overview
CY74FCT163500CPVCT from Texas Instruments is an 18-bit registered bus transceiver with dual-directional latched/clocked data flow, 4.6 ns propagation delay (FCT-C speed), 24 mA balanced output drive, and 5 V-tolerant I/O for mixed-voltage system interfacing. It operates across 2.7–3.6 V supply in industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C) and supports live insertion via power-off disable outputs.
For engineers reviewing the CY74FCT163500CPVCT datasheet, CY74FCT163500CPVCT pinout, CY74FCT163500CPVCT application, or CY74FCT163500CPVCT equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional latch/flip-flop control logic (LEAB/LEBA/CLKAB/CLKBA), OE-driven three-state operation, edge-rate-controlled low-noise switching, and SSOP-56 package compatibility with legacy FCT bus interface designs.
Technical Context
The CY74FCT163500CPVCT integrates dual 18-bit D-type latches and flip-flops to enable transparent, latched, or clocked A↔B data transfer modes. Its functional control relies on independent OEAB/OEBA (output enable), LEAB/LEBA (latch enable), and CLKAB/CLKBA (clock) inputs - each pair governing direction-specific timing behavior and output state retention.
It features 5 V-tolerant CMOS-compatible inputs/outputs, 24 mA sink/source balanced drivers with internal current-limiting resistors, and edge-rate control circuitry that minimizes ground bounce (typical VOLP < 0.5 V) and EMI. The device meets JEDEC JESD-17 latch-up immunity and exceeds MIL-STD-883D Method 3015 ESD rating (>2000 V).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Propagation Delay (tPLH/tPHL) | 4.6 ns max at VCC = 3.0–3.6 V - enables high-speed synchronous bus handshaking up to 150 MHz clock rate. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 3.6 V - compatible with 3.3 V logic systems while supporting 5 V-tolerant I/O for voltage translation. |
| Output Drive Strength | ±24 mA - provides robust signal integrity across unterminated PCB traces without external termination resistors. |
| Input Hysteresis | 100 mV - improves noise immunity on slow-rising or noisy control signals like OE/LE/CLK lines. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded control, backplane, and telecom infrastructure applications. |
| Output Skew | <250 ps typical - ensures deterministic timing alignment across all 18 bits during parallel data transfers. |
| Power-Off Disable | IOFF ≤ ±100 µA at VCC = 0 V - allows safe hot-plug operation without bus contention or back-driving. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 56-pin SSOP (O56), 300-mil body width, 25-mil pitch, JEDEC MO-118 compliant. Pin count and mechanical dimensions match industry-standard 56-lead shrink small-outline packages for drop-in replacement in legacy FCT layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| OEAB | A-to-B Output Enable (Active LOW) | Controls three-state output driver on B port; when HIGH, B outputs enter high-impedance mode regardless of latch/clock state. |
| OEBA | B-to-A Output Enable (Active LOW) | Controls three-state output driver on A port; decouples A-side bus during B→A transfer or idle periods. |
| LEAB / LEBA | Latch Enable (Active HIGH) | When HIGH, enables transparent pass-through; when LOW, captures A or B data on subsequent CLKAB/CLKBA edge. |
| CLKAB / CLKBA | Clock Input (Active LOW edge-triggered) | Triggers storage of A or B data into internal register on HIGH-to-LOW transition when corresponding LE is LOW. |
| A1–A18 | A-Side Data I/O | Bi-directional terminals: inputs when driving B port, three-state outputs when B port is enabled and A data is latched/clocked. |
| B1–B18 | B-Side Data I/O | Bi-directional terminals: inputs when driving A port, three-state outputs when A port is enabled and B data is latched/clocked. |
| VCC | Power Supply | Single 2.7–3.6 V supply; powers internal logic and output drivers; supports 5 V-tolerant I/O buffers. |
| GND | Ground Reference | Eight dedicated ground pins distributed across package to minimize simultaneous switching noise and improve return path integrity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 5 V-Tolerant I/O | Accepts 0–5.5 V input levels and drives 5 V busses while powered from 3.3 V - eliminates level shifters in mixed-voltage backplanes. |
| Power-Off Disable | Outputs go high-impedance when VCC = 0 V - prevents back-driving and bus contention during live insertion or hot-swap events. |
| Edge-Rate Control | Internally limits output slew rate to reduce ground bounce (VOLP) and radiated emissions - simplifies EMI filtering in dense PCB layouts. |
| 24 mA Balanced Drive | Sink and source capability matched within ±10% - ensures symmetrical rise/fall times and reduces duty-cycle distortion on critical clocks or strobes. |
| Industrial Temp Range | Specified and tested from −40°C to +85°C - suitable for uncontrolled environments such as factory automation controllers and outdoor telecom nodes. |
Applications
| Backplane Data Routing | Industrial PLC I/O Expansion |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 18-bit registered transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74FCT163500CPVCT | Same die, identical electrical specs and pinout; rebranded by TI after Cypress acquisition - fully interchangeable. | No functional difference; used interchangeably in TI's own documentation and ordering systems. | Select SN74FCT163500CPVCT only if sourcing through TI-distributed channels where CY-prefix stock is unavailable. |
| 74ALVC163500DT | Lower drive (±24 mA same), but 1.65–3.6 V supply range; no 5 V tolerance; different timing parameters (tPZH = 6.5 ns max). | Not suitable for 5 V bus translation; requires level-shifting if interfacing with legacy 5 V peripherals. | Choose only for new 1.8/2.5/3.3 V-only designs where 5 V tolerance is unnecessary and lower static power is prioritized. |
Compared with SN74FCT163500CPVCT (identical function and pinout) and 74ALVC163500DT (narrower VCC, no 5 V tolerance), the CY74FCT163500CPVCT uniquely delivers 5 V-tolerant I/O, industrial temp qualification, and proven live-insertion capability - making it the sole choice for mixed-voltage, hot-swap-capable backplane interfaces.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by the CY74FCT163500CPVCT?
The CY74FCT163500CPVCT supports a maximum clock frequency of 150 MHz for CLKAB and CLKBA inputs, as specified in its switching characteristics table. This is achievable under VCC = 3.0–3.6 V and ambient temperatures from −40°C to +85°C. Propagation delay is guaranteed at 4.6 ns (max), enabling reliable timing margins in high-speed synchronous bus architectures using the CY74FCT163500CPVCT.
Does the CY74FCT163500CPVCT support 5 V logic interfacing while powered from 3.3 V?
Yes, the CY74FCT163500CPVCT supports 5 V-tolerant inputs and outputs when powered from 2.7–3.6 V. Its VIH specification extends to 5.5 V and VIL to 0.8 V, allowing direct connection to 5 V busses without external level shifters. This makes the CY74FCT163500CPVCT ideal for voltage translation in mixed-signal systems where legacy 5 V peripherals interface with modern 3.3 V controllers.
Can the CY74FCT163500CPVCT be used in hot-swap applications?
Yes, the CY74FCT163500CPVCT includes power-off disable functionality: when VCC = 0 V, output leakage remains ≤ ±100 µA, placing outputs in high-impedance state. This prevents back-driving and bus contention during live insertion or removal - a core requirement for hot-swap backplane and modular I/O systems using the CY74FCT163500CPVCT.
What is the meaning of "FCT-C speed" for the CY74FCT163500CPVCT?
"FCT-C speed" refers to the fastest propagation delay grade in the TI FCT logic family, with tPLH/tPHL = 4.6 ns (max) for CY74FCT163500CPVCT at VCC = 3.0–3.6 V. This distinguishes it from slower variants like FCT-A (5.1 ns) and confirms its suitability for high-performance timing-critical applications where minimal latency across 18-bit parallel paths is essential - a defining characteristic of the CY74FCT163500CPVCT.
How many ground pins does the CY74FCT163500CPVCT have in its SSOP-56 package?
The CY74FCT163500CPVCT in the 56-pin SSOP (O56) package has eight dedicated GND pins, strategically distributed across the package per the pin configuration diagram. These multiple ground connections reduce simultaneous switching noise and improve signal integrity - a critical design feature confirmed in the CY74FCT163500CPVCT datasheet and mechanical drawings.
