Product details
Overview
CY74FCT16646CTPVCT from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit registered transceiver IC with three-state outputs, dual-bus bidirectional data flow, and clocked register storage. It features 5.4 ns bus-to-bus propagation delay, ±64 mA sink/±32 mA source drive strength, and operates at 5V ±10% over −40°C to +85°C. It is used in high-speed backplane interface buffering and synchronous bus isolation in industrial control systems.
For engineers reviewing the CY74FCT16646CTPVCT datasheet, CY74FCT16646CTPVCT pinout, CY74FCT16646CTPVCT application, or CY74FCT16646CTPVCT equivalent, key selection criteria include output drive capability for capacitive loads, Ioff partial-power-down support, ground bounce performance (VOLP < 0.55 V), and SSOP-56 package compatibility with legacy 300-mil footprint designs.
Technical Context
This device integrates two independent 16-bit D-type registers (A and B), direction-controlled transceiver logic, and output enable circuitry - enabling real-time or registered data transfer between parallel buses. Its architecture supports simultaneous storage on both buses and multiplexed output sourcing via SAB/SBA select inputs.
It implements edge-rate control to suppress switching noise and includes Ioff circuitry that disables outputs during power-down to prevent backflow current. The device is fully characterized for industrial temperature operation and meets >2000V HBM ESD rating.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Supply | 5 V ±10% - compatible with standard TTL/CMOS logic rails and eliminates need for level-shifting in 5V systems. |
| Propagation Delay | 1.5–5.4 ns (bus-to-bus) - enables reliable timing closure in sub-100 MHz synchronous bus applications. |
| Output Drive | −64 mA sink / +32 mA source - sufficient to drive high-capacitance backplanes or unterminated transmission lines without external buffers. |
| Ground Bounce (VOLP) | <0.55 V at 64 mA - minimizes supply rail disturbance during heavy switching, improving signal integrity in dense PCB layouts. |
| Ioff Support | Active at VCC = 0 V - prevents damaging current flow when powered down while other system components remain active. |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for deployment in industrial automation, motor drives, and base station control modules. |
| ESD Rating | >2000 V HBM - provides robust handling margin during board assembly and field service operations. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 56-pin SSOP (300-mil width, DL package drawing), 19.6 mm × 7.5 mm body, 0.635 mm pitch, RoHS-compliant green finish, MSL Level-1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1DIR, 2DIR | Direction control input (per 8-bit section) | Determines data flow direction: LOW routes B→A; HIGH routes A→B - enables independent half-bus control. |
| 1OE, 2OE | Output enable (active LOW) | Tri-states all outputs in respective 8-bit group when HIGH - essential for bus arbitration and hot-swap isolation. |
| 1CLKAB, 2CLKAB | Register clock (A-to-B transfer) | Loads data from A bus into B register on rising edge - synchronizes stored data capture with system clock domain. |
| 1CLKBA, 2CLKBA | Register clock (B-to-A transfer) | Loads data from B bus into A register on rising edge - supports bidirectional registered pipeline staging. |
| 1SAB, 2SAB | Source select (A bus output) | When LOW, outputs real-time A bus; when HIGH, outputs stored B register data - enables transparent/register mix mode. |
| 1SBA, 2SBA | Source select (B bus output) | When LOW, outputs real-time B bus; when HIGH, outputs stored A register data - allows flexible data routing per port. |
| A1–A16 | Data register A inputs / B outputs | Connects to primary system bus; functions as input when storing, output when driving - dual-role pin reduces interconnect count. |
| B1–B16 | Data register B inputs / A outputs | Connects to secondary bus or peripheral interface; mirrors A functionality with independent control - supports full-duplex buffering. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ioff partial-power-down | Disables outputs at VCC = 0 V, preventing back-current damage during mixed-voltage or hot-plug sequencing - critical for modular chassis systems. |
| Edge-rate controlled outputs | Reduces di/dt-induced noise and crosstalk in high-density routing - eliminates need for series termination resistors in many backplane designs. |
| Low ground bounce (VOLP) | <0.55 V at full 64 mA sink ensures stable reference for adjacent logic and analog circuits - improves jitter margin in clock distribution paths. |
| Two independent 8-bit sections | Enables split-bus operation: one section can buffer control signals while the other handles data - increases design flexibility without extra ICs. |
| Real-time + registered mode | SAB/SBA pins allow dynamic selection between live bus pass-through and registered output - supports both combinatorial and pipelined timing paths. |

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by CY74FCT16646CTPVCT?
CY74FCT16646CTPVCT does not specify a maximum clock frequency in its datasheet; instead, it guarantees timing margins via propagation delay (≤5.4 ns), setup time (≥2.0 ns), and hold time (≥1.5 ns). When used with appropriate board layout and load capacitance, it reliably supports system clocks up to 100 MHz in registered mode and higher in transparent mode - verified by TI's switching characteristics under industrial conditions.
Does CY74FCT16646CTPVCT support mixed-voltage operation between 3.3V and 5V domains?
CY74FCT16646CTPVCT is a 5V-only device: VCC must be 5V ±10%, and input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V, VIL = 0.8 V) are TTL-compatible. It accepts 3.3V logic inputs safely but cannot drive 3.3V-only receivers without level translation due to its 5V output swing. For true mixed-voltage bridging, pairing with dedicated level shifters is required.
How does the Ioff feature function in CY74FCT16646CTPVCT during partial power-down?
In CY74FCT16646CTPVCT, the Ioff circuitry actively disables all outputs when VCC = 0 V, limiting leakage current to ±1 µA regardless of input or output pin voltage (up to 4.5 V). This prevents reverse current flow from live buses into the unpowered IC - a key requirement for hot-swap architectures and modular power sequencing in industrial controllers.
Can CY74FCT16646CTPVCT operate in transparent mode without clocking?
Yes - CY74FCT16646CTPVCT supports transparent (real-time) data transfer when SAB/SBA are set to select live bus inputs, OE is LOW, and DIR configures direction. Clock signals (CLKAB/CLKBA) are only required for register storage; they have no effect on output behavior in transparent mode, enabling combinational bus extension.
What is the thermal performance of CY74FCT16646CTPVCT in continuous operation?
CY74FCT16646CTPVCT has a maximum power dissipation of 1.0 W and junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 56°C/W in SSOP-56 package. At full 64 mA output loading across all pins and 5V supply, typical power consumption remains below 300 mW - allowing operation at full industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C) without forced cooling in standard PCB layouts.
