Product details
Overview
CY74FCT16646ATPVCT from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit registered transceiver with three-state D-type registers, designed for bidirectional data multiplexing between two 16-bit buses (A and B). It supports industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C), operates at VCC = 5V ±10%, delivers 64 mA sink / 32 mA source drive strength, and features Ioff partial-power-down protection. It is used in high-speed backplane interface and bus isolation applications requiring low ground bounce (<1.0 V) and fast propagation delay (6.3 ns max).
For engineers reviewing the CY74FCT16646ATPVCT datasheet, CY74FCT16646ATPVCT pinout, CY74FCT16646ATPVCT application, or CY74FCT16646ATPVCT equivalent, this page provides verified functional architecture, real-time vs. registered mode behavior, output skew (<250 ps), noise-suppressed edge-rate control, and SSOP-56 package–specific layout and thermal considerations.
Technical Context
The CY74FCT16646ATPVCT implements dual 16-bit register banks (A and B), clocked by independent CLKAB/CLKBA inputs, with direction-controlled bidirectional data flow governed by DIR and active-low OE. Its internal logic enables simultaneous storage and selective multiplexing of real-time or registered data via SAB/SBA select lines.
It integrates Ioff circuitry to disable outputs during partial power-down, preventing reverse current flow when VCC = 0 V. Output drivers are optimized for high-capacitance loads and low-impedance backplanes, with typical ground bounce <1.0 V at 64 mA sink and 32 mA source under VCC = 5 V, TA = 25°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Supply | 5 V ±10% - Enables direct compatibility with legacy 5-V TTL/CMOS systems without level translation. |
| Propagation Delay | 6.3 ns max (CY74FCT16646AT variant) - Ensures timing-critical bus bridging in sub-100 MHz synchronous designs. |
| Output Drive | 64 mA sink / 32 mA source - Supports driving heavy capacitive loads (e.g., >50 pF traces) and unterminated backplanes. |
| Ground Bounce (VOLP) | <1.0 V typical at VCC = 5 V, TA = 25°C - Reduces signal integrity risk in dense PCB layouts with shared ground planes. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +85°C - Qualified for industrial-grade embedded control, test equipment, and telecom infrastructure. |
| Ioff Support | Active at VCC = 0 V - Allows safe hot-insertion and partial system power-down without damaging backdrive currents. |
| ESD Rating | >2000 V HBM - Provides robust handling margin during board assembly and field service. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 56-pin SSOP (Shrink Small Outline Package), 300-mil body width, 0.635 mm pitch, JEDEC MO-118 compliant, RoHS green (Pb-free, no Sb/Br), MSL Level-1 (260°C peak reflow).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1A1–1A8, 2A1–2A8 | A-bus data inputs / outputs | Register A side I/O pins; function as inputs when DIR = LOW and OE = LOW (B→A transfer), or outputs when DIR = HIGH and OE = LOW (A→B transfer). |
| 1B1–1B8, 2B1–2B8 | B-bus data inputs / outputs | Register B side I/O pins; mirror A-bus behavior with opposite direction logic; support bidirectional registered or transparent data flow. |
| 1CLKAB, 2CLKAB | Register A clock input | Positive-edge-triggered clock for latching data from B bus into Register A; controls real-time or stored A→B transfers. |
| 1CLKBA, 2CLKBA | Register B clock input | Positive-edge-triggered clock for latching data from A bus into Register B; enables isolated storage and later B→A output. |
| 1DIR, 2DIR | Direction control | Active-HIGH signal selecting data flow direction: DIR = HIGH → A→B; DIR = LOW → B→A. Overrides SAB/SBA in isolation mode. |
| 1OE, 2OE | Output enable (active LOW) | Global three-state control: OE = LOW enables outputs; OE = HIGH places all A/B pins in high-impedance state for bus isolation. |
| 1SAB, 2SAB | Source select A→B | Selects whether A-bus output derives from real-time A input (SAB = LOW) or stored Register B data (SAB = HIGH). |
| 1SBA, 2SBA | Source select B→A | Selects whether B-bus output derives from real-time B input (SBA = LOW) or stored Register A data (SBA = HIGH). |
| VCC, GND (×4 each) | Power and ground terminals | Distributed supply/return pins minimize IR drop and switching noise; require local 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling per VCC–GND pair. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ioff partial-power-down | Prevents back-current flow when VCC = 0 V, enabling safe integration in mixed-voltage or hot-swap subsystems. |
| Edge-rate controlled outputs | Reduces EMI and crosstalk in high-density routing by limiting slew rate without compromising 6.3 ns propagation speed. |
| Low output skew | <250 ps typical skew across all 32 outputs ensures deterministic timing alignment in parallel bus applications. |
| High noise immunity | Input hysteresis ≥100 mV and VIH/VIL thresholds (2.0 V / 0.8 V) provide robust operation in electrically noisy industrial environments. |
| Industrial temperature rating | Guaranteed functionality from −40°C to +85°C supports deployment in uncontrolled enclosures and outdoor equipment. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit registered transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY74FCT16646CTPVCT | 5.4 ns max propagation delay (vs. 6.3 ns); identical pinout, drive strength, and feature set. | Better suited for higher-frequency bus timing (e.g., ≥100 MHz clock domains) where tighter skew and delay budgets apply. | Select CY74FCT16646CTPVCT when propagation delay <5.5 ns is required; otherwise CY74FCT16646ATPVCT offers optimal cost/performance balance. |
| CY74FCT162646ATPVCT | 24 mA balanced output drivers (vs. 64/32 mA asymmetrical); lower ground bounce (<0.6 V); no Ioff support. | Optimized for transmission-line driving (e.g., point-to-point LV-TTL) rather than backplane fanout; lacks partial-power-down capability. | Choose CY74FCT162646ATPVCT only for impedance-controlled trace routing with external termination; avoid where Ioff or high sink current is needed. |
Compared with CY74FCT16646CTPVCT and CY74FCT162646ATPVCT, the CY74FCT16646ATPVCT uniquely balances moderate speed (6.3 ns), high sink current (64 mA), and Ioff protection-making it the preferred choice for industrial backplane and bus-isolation designs requiring robustness over raw speed or line-driving optimization.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by CY74FCT16646ATPVCT?
The CY74FCT16646ATPVCT does not specify a maximum clock frequency in its datasheet; instead, it guarantees timing margins via propagation delay (6.3 ns max), setup time (2.0 ns min), and hold time (1.5 ns min). For reliable operation, the minimum clock period must exceed tW (5.0 ns min pulse width) plus tPLH/tPHL, supporting effective clock rates up to ~80 MHz in well-designed layouts with controlled trace lengths and proper termination.
Does CY74FCT16646ATPVCT support hot-swap or partial-power-down operation?
Yes, CY74FCT16646ATPVCT supports partial-power-down via its Ioff circuitry. When VCC = 0 V, the outputs are actively disabled, limiting IOFF leakage to ±1 µA and preventing damaging back-current flow from live buses. This makes CY74FCT16646ATPVCT suitable for hot-plug backplane modules and multi-rail systems where subsystems power up/down independently.
How does the SAB and SBA pin functionality differ between CY74FCT16646ATPVCT and CY74FCT162646ATPVCT?
SAB and SBA operate identically across both devices: SAB selects source for A-bus output (real-time A or stored B), and SBA selects source for B-bus output (real-time B or stored A). However, CY74FCT16646ATPVCT uses these controls in conjunction with its asymmetrical 64/32 mA drivers and Ioff, whereas CY74FCT162646ATPVCT pairs them with balanced 24 mA drivers and no Ioff-altering their suitability for backplane vs. transmission-line use cases.
What is the recommended decoupling strategy for CY74FCT16646ATPVCT?
TI recommends one 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor per VCC–GND pair, placed as close as possible to each power pin. With four VCC and four GND pins distributed across the 56-pin SSOP package, eight localized 0.1 µF X7R capacitors (0603 or 0402) are required. Avoid shared bulk capacitance; use separate vias to internal planes to minimize loop inductance and suppress simultaneous switching noise.
Can CY74FCT16646ATPVCT be used in place of CY74FCT16646TPVCT?
Yes, CY74FCT16646ATPVCT is a direct speed-grade upgrade over CY74FCT16646TPVCT (9.0 ns), sharing identical pinout, package (SSOP-56), supply voltage, and functional logic. The "A" suffix denotes 6.3 ns max propagation delay versus "T" (9.0 ns), enabling higher-speed operation without PCB or firmware changes-provided timing margins in the target design accommodate the faster edge rates.
