Product details
Overview
CY74FCT646TSOCT from Texas Instruments is an 8-bit registered transceiver with 3-state outputs, designed for bidirectional data bus isolation and registered multiplexing in TTL- and FCT-compatible 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). Key confirmed specs: 64-mA sink / 32-mA source drive, 5.4-ns max propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL), 1.5-ns min pulse width, and Ioff support for partial-power-down operation.
For engineers reviewing the CY74FCT646TSOCT datasheet, CY74FCT646TSOCT pinout, CY74FCT646TSOCT application, or CY74FCT646TSOCT equivalent, this page delivers verified functional architecture, real-time vs. registered mode behavior, noise-suppressed edge-rate control, TTL-level compatibility, and SOIC-24 package–specific thermal and drive characteristics - all critical for bus arbitration, memory interface buffering, and legacy system upgrades.
Technical Context
The CY74FCT646TSOCT implements a dual-bus registered transceiver architecture with separate D-type flip-flops per data line, enabling simultaneous storage of A- and B-bus data on rising edges of CPAB and CPBA. Its control logic supports four operational modes: isolation (G high), real-time transfer (G low + DIR), stored-data transfer (G low + SAB/SBA), and mixed-mode multiplexing.
It integrates edge-rate control circuitry to reduce switching noise, matched rise/fall times (typical 3.3 V VOH), and Ioff protection that disables outputs when VCC = 0 V - preventing backflow current during partial power-down. Input thresholds (VIH = 2 V, VIL = 0.8 V) and output drive (64 mA sink) are fully specified across –40°C to 85°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Function | 8-bit registered bidirectional transceiver with independent A/B registers and 3-state outputs |
| Supply Voltage | VCC = 4.75 V to 5.25 V - ensures stable TTL-compatible operation without overvoltage stress |
| Output Drive | 64 mA sink / 32 mA source - supports heavy capacitive loads and fanout to multiple TTL inputs |
| Propagation Delay | tPLH/tPHL ≤ 5.4 ns (max) - enables reliable timing in 100+ MHz bus systems with setup/hold margins |
| Ioff Support | ±1 µA leakage at VCC = 0 V - allows safe hot-insertion and partial power-down in multi-rail systems |
| ESD Protection | 2000-V HBM, 200-V MM, 1000-V CDM - meets industrial-grade robustness requirements |
| Package | SOIC-24 (DW), 10.75 mm × 15.7 mm footprint - compatible with standard PCB assembly and reflow profiles |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOIC-24 (DW), RoHS-compliant, moisture sensitivity level 1 (260°C peak reflow), 2000-piece tape-and-reel format.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 4–11, 14–20, 22, 23 | A1–A8, B1–B8 | Bi-directional data terminals: A pins serve as register A inputs / register B outputs; B pins serve as register B inputs / register A outputs |
| 3, 21 | DIR, G | Direction control (DIR) selects bus flow direction; Output-enable (G) disables all outputs when high |
| 12 | GND | Ground reference for logic and power return path |
| 13 | VCC | 5-V supply input - must be decoupled locally to suppress switching noise |
| 24 | NC | No internal connection - left unconnected per TI specification |
| 17, 18 | CPAB, CPBA | Independent clock inputs: CPAB clocks data into register A; CPBA clocks data into register B |
| 19, 20 | SAB, SBA | Data-source select: SAB controls whether A-bus output comes from real-time or stored B data; SBA does same for B-bus |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Edge-rate controlled outputs | Reduces simultaneous switching noise (SSN) by limiting dv/dt - critical for signal integrity in dense PCB layouts |
| Independent A/B register storage | Enables asynchronous capture and forwarding of data from either bus without cross-contamination or timing dependency |
| Ioff partial-power-down protection | Prevents damaging reverse current flow when VCC is off but buses remain active - essential for hot-swap and modular backplane designs |
| TTL-compatible input/output levels | VIH = 2 V / VIL = 0.8 V inputs and VOH ≥ 2.4 V / VOL ≤ 0.55 V outputs ensure seamless integration with legacy 5-V logic families |
| Matched rise/fall times | Minimizes duty-cycle distortion in clocked data paths - preserves timing margins in synchronous bus applications |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Backplane Interface | Legacy Memory Bus Buffering |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar registered transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74FCT646ATSOCT | Same SOIC-24 package, identical pinout, but rated for –40°C to 85°C with 6.3-ns max tPLH/tPHL (slower than CY74FCT646TSOCT's 5.4 ns) | Lower-speed variant suitable where timing margin exceeds 0.9 ns; otherwise requires layout verification for setup/hold compliance | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs 0.9-ns timing advantage and full 5.4-ns performance is not required. |
| 74ACT646SCX | ACT-family device in SOIC-24; higher VOH (≥3.7 V), lower IOL (24 mA), no Ioff support, and 7.5-ns max propagation delay | Lacks partial-power-down capability and has reduced drive strength - unsuitable for hot-swap or high-fanout legacy bus loading | Choose only for non-power-sensitive designs where ACT logic family compatibility is mandatory and drive requirements are ≤24 mA. |
Compared with SN74FCT646ATSOCT and 74ACT646SCX, CY74FCT646TSOCT delivers the fastest propagation (5.4 ns), highest sink current (64 mA), and unique Ioff protection - making it the optimal choice for timing-critical, hot-pluggable, or high-noise industrial bus interfaces where reliability and signal fidelity are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by CY74FCT646TSOCT?
CY74FCT646TSOCT does not specify a maximum clock frequency directly, but its 5.4-ns maximum propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL) and 1.5-ns minimum pulse width (tw) support reliable operation in systems with clock periods ≥10.8 ns - corresponding to a practical upper limit of approximately 92 MHz for registered data transfers. Real-time transparent mode performance depends on external bus timing constraints.
Does CY74FCT646TSOCT support hot-swap or partial-power-down operation?
Yes, CY74FCT646TSOCT includes Ioff circuitry that actively disables outputs when VCC = 0 V, limiting leakage current to ±1 µA. This feature enables safe hot-insertion into live backplanes and partial-power-down operation in multi-rail systems - a key differentiator versus non-Ioff logic families like 74ACT or standard 74LS.
What is the difference between CY74FCT646TSOCT and CY74FCT646ATSOCT?
CY74FCT646TSOCT offers 5.4-ns maximum propagation delay and 64-mA sink drive, while CY74FCT646ATSOCT has 6.3-ns max delay and identical drive. Both share SOIC-24 packaging, –40°C to 85°C temperature range, and full pin compatibility. The "T" suffix denotes the faster speed grade optimized for timing-critical applications.
Can CY74FCT646TSOCT interface directly with 3.3-V logic devices?
No - CY74FCT646TSOCT is a 5-V-only device with TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2 V, VIL = 0.8 V) and 5-V supply requirement (VCC = 4.75–5.25 V). Direct connection to 3.3-V logic risks overvoltage damage to downstream receivers. A level-shifting solution (e.g., TXB0108 or discrete resistor divider with clamping) is required for mixed-voltage interfacing.
Is there a lead-free and RoHS-compliant version of CY74FCT646TSOCT?
Yes, CY74FCT646TSOCT is RoHS-compliant with NiPdAu (NIPDAU) lead finish, MSL Level-1 rating (unlimited floor life), and qualified for standard 260°C reflow. The part marking "FCT646" appears on the top surface, and full compliance documentation is available via Texas Instruments' official product page and material declarations.
