Product details
Overview
CY74FCT16646CTPVC from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit registered transceiver IC with three-state outputs, dual-bus bidirectional data flow, and clocked register storage on both A and B buses. It operates at 5V ±10%, supports −40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range, delivers 64 mA sink / 32 mA source drive, and achieves 5.4 ns max bus-to-bus propagation delay. It is used in high-speed backplane interface buffering and synchronous bus isolation in industrial control systems.
For engineers reviewing the CY74FCT16646CTPVC datasheet, CY74FCT16646CTPVC pinout, CY74FCT16646CTPVC application, or CY74FCT16646CTPVC equivalent, key selection criteria include its 56-pin SSOP package, Ioff partial-power-down capability, edge-rate controlled outputs for noise reduction, and precise timing parameters including tPLH/tPHL ≤5.4 ns and output skew <0.5 ns.
Technical Context
The CY74FCT16646CTPVC implements dual 16-bit D-type registers with independent CLKAB/CLKBA inputs, enabling synchronized latching of data from either bus into corresponding A or B registers. Its DIR and OE pins jointly control directionality and output enable state, supporting real-time transparent transfer, stored-data multiplexing, and full bus isolation modes.
It integrates Ioff circuitry to disable outputs during power-down, preventing backflow current, and features edge-rate control to suppress ground bounce (typical VOLP <0.55 V at 64 mA) and improve signal integrity on high-capacitance loads and backplanes.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| VCC Supply | 5 V ±10% - compatible with standard TTL/CMOS logic rails; no level-shifting required in 5V systems |
| Propagation Delay | ≤5.4 ns (bus-to-bus) - enables reliable operation in sub-200 MHz synchronous bus environments |
| Output Drive | 64 mA sink / 32 mA source - sufficient to drive heavy capacitive loads and unterminated backplanes |

Pinout & Package
56-pin SSOP (Shrink Small Outline Package), 300-mil body width, 0.635 mm pitch, JEDEC MO-118 compliant. Package dimensions: 13.9–14.1 mm × 7.9–8.3 mm × 2.4 mm height.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1A1–1A8, 2A1–2A8 | A-bus data inputs / outputs | Register A port; bidirectional under DIR/OE control; connected to local system bus |
| 1B1–1B8, 2B1–2B8 | B-bus data inputs / outputs | Register B port; bidirectional under DIR/OE control; connected to remote/backplane bus |

| 1CLKBA, 2CLKBA | Bus B → Bus A clock input | Positive-edge-triggered latch control for transferring B-bus data into A-register |
| 1DIR, 2DIR | Direction control input | Active-HIGH selects B→A data flow; LOW selects A→B flow when OE is active |
| 1OE, 2OE | Output enable (active LOW) | Disables all outputs (high-Z) when HIGH; enables bidirectional transfer when LOW |
| 1SAB, 2SAB | Source select A→B | Selects real-time A-bus or stored A-register data for output onto B-bus |
| 1SBA, 2SBA | Source select B→A | Selects real-time B-bus or stored B-register data for output onto A-bus |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY74FCT16646ATPVC | Slower 6.3 ns max propagation delay; otherwise identical pinout, function, and drive strength | Suitable where timing budget allows relaxed delay; lower power at same frequency due to reduced speed grade | Select when system clock rate ≤80 MHz and lower dynamic power is prioritized over maximum throughput |
| CY74FCT162646CTPVC | 24 mA balanced drivers (vs. 64/32 mA asymmetrical); lower ground bounce (VOLP <0.55 V → <0.6 V); TSSOP option available | Better suited for transmission-line routing and EMI-sensitive environments; less ideal for heavy capacitive loads | Choose for point-to-point or controlled-impedance interconnects; avoid when driving >50 pF loads or unterminated stubs |
Compared with CY74FCT16646ATPVC, the CY74FCT16646CTPVC offers tighter timing for higher-speed backplanes; compared with CY74FCT162646CTPVC, it provides stronger sink current for legacy backplane compatibility but with higher ground bounce - making it optimal for industrial control over high-noise, high-capacitance interconnects.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by CY74FCT16646CTPVC?
The CY74FCT16646CTPVC does not specify a maximum clock frequency in its datasheet; instead, it guarantees timing margins via propagation delay (≤5.4 ns bus-to-bus) and minimum clock pulse width (≥5.0 ns). For reliable operation, the maximum usable frequency depends on system-level setup/hold times and board trace delays - typically supporting clean 100–150 MHz clock domains when properly terminated and routed. The CY74FCT16646CTPVC is optimized for synchronous bus applications rather than free-running clock domains.
Does CY74FCT16646CTPVC support mixed-voltage operation (e.g., 3.3V inputs with 5V VCC)?
No, CY74FCT16646CTPVC is a 5V-only device. Its input thresholds (VIH ≥2.0 V, VIL ≤0.8 V) and absolute maximum ratings (DC input voltage −0.5 V to +7.0 V) permit direct connection to 3.3V CMOS outputs, but only if those outputs are 5V-tolerant and driven within the specified VIH/VIL window. It does not translate voltages - all signals must be referenced to the 5V VCC rail. For true 3.3V↔5V translation, a dedicated level-shifter IC is required alongside the CY74FCT16646CTPVC.
How does the Ioff feature work in CY74FCT16646CTPVC, and what protection does it provide?
The Ioff circuitry in CY74FCT16646CTPVC automatically disables all outputs when VCC = 0 V, regardless of input voltage levels. This prevents current from flowing backward through the device - for example, from a live 5V bus into a powered-down subsystem. Measured Ioff leakage is ±1 µA at VOUT ≤4.5 V, ensuring safe hot-swap capability and eliminating latch-up risk. This feature is integral to the CY74FCT16646CTPVC silicon design and requires no external components or configuration.
Can CY74FCT16646CTPVC operate in isolation mode with data stored in both registers simultaneously?
Yes. When OE is HIGH (isolation mode), the CY74FCT16646CTPVC maintains high-impedance outputs while still allowing clocked data capture: A-bus data can be latched into the B-register via CLKAB, and B-bus data can be latched into the A-register via CLKBA - concurrently and independently. This enables pre-loading of both registers before enabling output, supporting pipelined or double-buffered data transfer protocols. The CY74FCT16646CTPVC retains stored data as long as VCC remains within specification, even with OE held high indefinitely.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of CY74FCT16646CTPVC in its SSOP package?
The datasheet does not publish θJA for CY74FCT16646CTPVC in SSOP (DL) package. However, based on TI's typical characterization for 56-pin SSOP devices under JEDEC JESD51-2 conditions (single-layer board, 1 in² copper pad), θJA is approximately 65°C/W. Actual thermal performance depends heavily on PCB layout - use of internal/external copper planes, number of thermal vias, and airflow. For sustained 64 mA per output operation, derating is recommended above 70°C ambient; the CY74FCT16646CTPVC is rated for full performance up to +85°C junction temperature.
