Product details
Overview
CY74FCT646TQCTG4 from Texas Instruments is an 8-bit registered transceiver with 3-state outputs, designed for bidirectional data routing between A and B buses in high-noise industrial and telecom backplane systems. It features independent A/B registers, dual clock inputs (CPAB/CPBA), direction control (DIR), output-enable (G), and data-source-select inputs (SAB/SBA). Its 64-mA sink / 32-mA source drive supports robust TTL-level interfacing.
For engineers reviewing the CY74FCT646TQCTG4 datasheet, CY74FCT646TQCTG4 pinout, CY74FCT646TQCTG4 application, or CY74FCT646TQCTG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include registered bus isolation capability, Ioff partial-power-down support, edge-rate controlled switching for EMI reduction, and compatibility with legacy FCT logic families.
Technical Context
This device implements dual 8-bit D-type flip-flop registers-one per bus-with asynchronous 3-state output control. Data latching occurs on low-to-high transitions of CPAB (A→B) or CPBA (B→A), while DIR selects real-time or stored data path direction and G enables/disables outputs.
It integrates edge-rate control circuitry to limit slew rate, reducing simultaneous switching noise. Ioff protection disables outputs when VCC = 0 V, preventing backflow current during partial power-down-critical for hot-swap and mixed-voltage system designs.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Bus width | 8-bit bidirectional registered transceiver with independent A and B registers |
| Output drive | 64 mA sink / 32 mA source at VCC = 4.75–5.25 V - drives heavy capacitive loads and multiple TTL inputs |
| Propagation delay | 1.5–9 ns (A↔B path) - supports >100 MHz bus operation with tight timing margins |
| Ioff support | Active at VCC = 0 V; limits Ioff to ±1 µA - enables safe partial-power-down in modular systems |
| Supply voltage | 4.75–5.25 V - tightly regulated 5-V operation compatible with legacy TTL and FCT logic |
| ESD rating | 2000-V HBM, 200-V MM, 1000-V CDM - meets industrial-grade reliability requirements |
| Operating temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for commercial/industrial ambient environments |
Pinout & Package
Package: 24-pin QSOP (DBQ), body size 8.65 mm × 3.9 mm, pitch 0.635 mm, RoHS-compliant NiPdAu lead finish, MSL Level-2-260°C-1 year.

| 9, 10 | CPAB, CPBA | Independent clock inputs: CPAB clocks data from A to B register; CPBA clocks data from B to A register |
| 11, 12 | SAB, SBA | Data-source select: SAB controls whether A-bus output reflects real-time B input or stored B register; SBA controls B-bus output source |
| 13, 14 | DIR, G | Direction and output-enable: DIR sets data flow direction (A→B or B→A); G enables/disables all 3-state outputs |
| 15, 16 | GND, VCC | Power supply reference and 5-V supply rail - decoupling required within 1 cm of pins |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar registered transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY74FCT646TSOCT | Same core logic, SOIC-24 package (DW), 5.4-ns max propagation, 2000-piece tape-and-reel | Larger footprint (15.4 mm × 7.5 mm vs. QSOP's 8.65 mm × 3.9 mm); lower thermal resistance (46°C/W) | Preferred for prototyping or low-volume assembly where board space permits and hand-soldering is used. |
| SN74FCT646ATQCT | Same pinout and function, but 6.3-ns max propagation, 48-mA sink / 12-mA source drive | Lower drive strength limits use in high-capacitance or multi-load scenarios; reduced power consumption | Select when driving ≤2 TTL loads or when lower ICCD (1.2 mA typical) is prioritized over speed and drive. |
Compared with CY74FCT646TQCTG4, the SOIC variant offers easier rework and better thermal performance but consumes more PCB area, while the SN74FCT646ATQCT trades drive strength and speed for lower static/dynamic current - enabling optimization for either density or power-constrained designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by CY74FCT646TQCTG4?
CY74FCT646TQCTG4 does not specify a maximum clock frequency, but its minimum pulse width (tw) is 6 ns and setup/hold times are as low as 2 ns. With typical propagation delays of 1.5–9 ns, it reliably supports clock rates up to 100 MHz in well-terminated, low-skew layouts - verified via timing analysis using the provided tPLH/tPHL and tsu/th values.
Does CY74FCT646TQCTG4 support hot-swap operation?
Yes, CY74FCT646TQCTG4 supports hot-swap via its Ioff circuitry: when VCC = 0 V, Ioff limits reverse current to ±1 µA even if A/B bus signals remain active at up to 4.5 V. This prevents damage during live insertion/removal in modular chassis systems - confirmed per datasheet Section "Ioff Supports Partial-Power-Down Mode Operation".
How does CY74FCT646TQCTG4 differ from CY54FCT646T?
CY74FCT646TQCTG4 operates from –40°C to +85°C with 4.75–5.25 V supply and delivers 64-mA sink / 32-mA source drive; CY54FCT646T is the military-grade version rated for –55°C to +125°C, 4.5–5.5 V, and 48-mA sink / 12-mA source. Both share identical logic, pinout, and register architecture - only electrical specs and temperature range differ.
Can CY74FCT646TQCTG4 be used with 3.3-V logic systems?
No - CY74FCT646TQCTG4 is a 5-V-only device: its absolute maximum VCC is 7 V, but recommended operating VCC is 4.75–5.25 V. Input thresholds (VIH = 2 V, VIL = 0.8 V) are TTL-compatible, not 3.3-V CMOS. Direct connection to 3.3-V systems requires level-shifting or a 3.3-V–tolerant variant like SN74LVC646A.
What is the purpose of SAB and SBA pins on CY74FCT646TQCTG4?
SAB and SBA are data-source-select inputs that determine whether the A-bus or B-bus outputs reflect real-time (transparent) data or stored register contents. For example, when SAB = L, A-bus outputs real-time B data; when SAB = H, A-bus outputs stored B-register data - enabling flexible multiplexing without external logic, as defined in the FUNCTION TABLE on page 2 of the datasheet.
