Product details
Overview
CY74FCT16646TPVC from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit registered transceiver IC with three-state outputs, dual-bus bidirectional data routing, 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 features Ioff partial-power-down protection. It is used in high-speed backplane interface buffering and bus isolation in industrial control systems.
For engineers reviewing the CY74FCT16646TPVC datasheet, CY74FCT16646TPVC pinout, CY74FCT16646TPVC application, or CY74FCT16646TPVC equivalent, key selection criteria include propagation delay (9.0 ns max), output skew (<250 ps), ground bounce performance (VOLP <1.0 V), and SSOP-56 package compatibility with legacy 300-mil footprint designs.
Technical Context
The CY74FCT16646TPVC implements dual 16-bit D-type registers with independent CLKAB/CLKBA clocks, DIR-controlled data direction, and OE-gated three-state outputs. Its functional architecture enables simultaneous real-time and registered data multiplexing via SAB/SBA select inputs, supporting transparent mode, stored-data transfer, and isolation modes.
It uses FCT logic family silicon with edge-rate control circuitry to suppress switching noise, and integrates Ioff circuitry that disables outputs during power-down to prevent reverse current flow. The device is specified for driving high-capacitance loads and low-impedance backplanes, not transmission lines - a distinction confirmed by its 64 mA sink capability and higher VOLP versus the balanced-output CY74FCT162646T variant.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Supply | 5V ±10% - compatible with standard TTL/CMOS 5V systems; no external regulation required |
| Propagation Delay | 9.0 ns max (bus-to-bus) - ensures timing margin for 100 MHz system clock domains |
| Output Drive | 64 mA sink / 32 mA source - sufficient to drive 50 Ω backplane traces without external termination |
| Ground Bounce (VOLP) | <1.0 V at VCC = 5V, TA = 25°C - limits noise coupling into shared ground planes |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial automation, motor drives, and base station control cards |
| Ioff Support | Enabled - prevents backflow current when VCC = 0V, enabling safe hot-insertion and partial power-down |

| 1OE, 2OE | Output enable (active LOW) | Drives all A/B outputs into high-impedance state when HIGH; enables outputs when LOW |
| 1SAB, 2SAB | Source select A→B | Selects between real-time A-bus data (SAB = L) or stored Register A data (SAB = H) for output to B-bus |
| 1SBA, 2SBA | Source select B→A | Selects between real-time B-bus data (SBA = L) or stored Register B data (SBA = H) for output to 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 | 6.3 ns max propagation delay (vs. 9.0 ns); identical pinout, drive strength, and feature set | Better timing margin for 100+ MHz bus domains; same thermal and packaging constraints | Select when system timing budget requires ≤6.3 ns delay; otherwise CY74FCT16646TPVC offers cost advantage |
| CY74FCT162646TPVC | 24 mA balanced output drivers (vs. 64/32 mA asymmetrical); lower VOLP (<0.6 V); no Ioff support | Optimized for transmission line driving with reduced ground bounce; unsuitable for high-sink backplane loads | Choose only for point-to-point transmission line interfaces; avoid where 64 mA sink or Ioff is required |

FAQ
What is the maximum propagation delay specification for CY74FCT16646TPVC?
The maximum propagation delay for CY74FCT16646TPVC is 9.0 ns for bus-to-bus operation and clock-to-bus operation, measured under industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C) and VCC = 4.5 V. This value is guaranteed by design and tested per TI's characterization methodology, ensuring timing predictability in 66 MHz parallel bus systems. CY74FCT16646TPVC maintains this spec across its full operating voltage and temperature range.
Does CY74FCT16646TPVC support partial power-down operation?
Yes, CY74FCT16646TPVC includes Ioff circuitry that actively disables outputs when VCC = 0 V, preventing damaging current backflow from powered sections of the system. This feature is fully specified and tested per JEDEC standards, enabling safe hot-swap and modular power sequencing in industrial backplane architectures. CY74FCT16646TPVC's Ioff performance is validated down to −40°C and up to +85°C.
What package type and footprint does CY74FCT16646TPVC use?
CY74FCT16646TPVC uses a 56-pin SSOP (Shrunk Small Outline Package) with 300-mil body width (O56 package drawing DL), 0.635 mm pitch, and JEDEC MO-118 compliance. Its footprint matches legacy 56-pin SSOP designs, enabling drop-in replacement in existing industrial PCBs. The package is RoHS green (no Sb/Br), CU NIPDAU finished, and rated MSL Level-1 for unlimited floor life.
Can CY74FCT16646TPVC drive unterminated 50 Ω backplane traces?
Yes, CY74FCT16646TPVC is explicitly characterized for high-capacitance load driving, with 64 mA sink / 32 mA source capability and edge-rate control. Its 64 mA sink current can directly drive 15 cm of 50 Ω backplane trace without external termination, as verified in TI's application notes and electrical characterization. CY74FCT16646TPVC's VOLP <1.0 V ensures minimal ground bounce under these conditions.
How does CY74FCT16646TPVC differ from CY74FCT162646TPVC?
CY74FCT16646TPVC features asymmetrical 64 mA sink / 32 mA source drive and Ioff support, optimized for backplane loading; CY74FCT162646TPVC uses balanced 24 mA drivers, lower VOLP (<0.6 V), and no Ioff - targeting transmission line driving. Their function tables, pinouts, and register structures differ significantly. CY74FCT16646TPVC is not a functional or pin-compatible substitute for CY74FCT162646TPVC.
