Product details
Overview
IDT74FCT16543ETPAG8 from Renesas Electronics is a 16-bit latched transceiver in TSSOP-56 package, operating at 5V ±10%, with industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), 64mA sink drive, and <250ps output skew - used for bidirectional data flow control between microprocessor buses and backplane interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the IDT74FCT16543ETPAG8 datasheet, IDT74FCT16543ETPAG8 pinout, IDT74FCT16543ETPAG8 application, or IDT74FCT16543ETPAG8 equivalent, key selection criteria include latch-enable timing (tW = 4ns min), output disable time (tPZL = 7.5ns max), live-insertion support via power-off disable outputs, and dual 8-bit independent channel control.
Technical Context
The IDT74FCT16543ETPAG8 implements two independent 8-bit D-type latched transceivers with separate A-to-B and B-to-A control paths (xCEAB/xLEAB/xOEAB and xCEBA/xLEBA/xOEBA), enabling simultaneous or asymmetric bidirectional data latching and 3-state output control. Its flow-through pin layout minimizes PCB routing complexity.
Designed using 0.5µm CMOS technology, it delivers high-speed performance (tPLH/tPHL ≤ 5.6ns at VCC = 5V) with low power consumption (ICCL ≤ 500µA), hysteresis-equipped inputs for noise immunity, and robust DC electrical specs including VIH ≥ 2.0V and VIL ≤ 0.8V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Supply | 5.0V ±10% - compatible with standard TTL/CMOS logic rails; no level-shifting required in 5V systems. |
| Output Drive | –32mA IOH / 64mA IOL - sufficient to drive heavy capacitive loads (e.g., backplanes, multi-drop buses) without external buffers. |
| tPLH / tPHL | ≤5.6ns (74FCT16543CT speed grade) - enables high-throughput data transfer in fast synchronous bus architectures. |
| tSK(o) | <250ps - ensures tight timing alignment across all 16 outputs, critical for parallel data integrity in clocked systems. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial environments including factory automation, motor control, and embedded instrumentation. |
| Input Leakage | ≤±1µA max - prevents signal corruption during hot-swap events and supports reliable "live insertion" operation. |
| Power-Off Disable | Outputs enter high-Z when VCC = 0V - eliminates bus contention during board insertion/removal in modular chassis systems. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-56 (Package Code: PAG56), 0.5mm pitch, 12.5mm × 6.1mm body size, exposed pad not present, RoHS-compliant green finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1B1–1B8, 2B1–2B8 | B-side I/O terminals (bidirectional) | When enabled via xOEBA/xOEAB, serve as inputs (B→A) or outputs (A→B); 3-state capable. |
| 1A1–1A8, 2A1–2A8 | A-side I/O terminals (bidirectional) | Functionally symmetric to B-side; support independent latching and direction control per 8-bit group. |
| xCEAB, xCEBA | Channel Enable (active LOW) | Must be LOW to allow data flow; HIGH disables both latch and output functions for that direction. |
| xLEAB, xLEBA | Latch Enable (active LOW) | LOW = transparent mode; rising edge stores data - defines precise capture point for synchronous bus interfacing. |
| xOEAB, xOEBA | Output Enable (active LOW) | Controls 3-state output drivers only; does not affect latch state - enables independent output gating. |
| VCC (Pins 6, 14, 22, 30, 39, 47) | Power supply | Multiple distributed VCC pins reduce IR drop and improve noise immunity on wide buses. |
| GND (Pins 3, 11, 19, 27, 35, 43, 51, 53) | Ground reference | Eight GND pins provide low-inductance return paths essential for clean switching of 16 high-drive outputs. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent 8-bit channels | Enables concurrent A↔B and B↔A data transfers with separate control logic - eliminates arbitration overhead in full-duplex bus bridges. |
| Power-off high-Z outputs | Guarantees safe "live insertion" into powered backplanes without bus contention or damage risk - critical for modular industrial controllers. |
| Hysteresis on all inputs | 100mV typical hysteresis improves noise margin against EMI in electrically noisy factory environments (e.g., near VFDs or solenoids). |
| Flow-through pinout | Input and output pins aligned across package edges - simplifies layer stack-up and reduces trace length mismatch in high-speed parallel routing. |
| Low ground bounce (VOLP < 1.0V) | Maintains signal integrity during simultaneous switching of multiple outputs - avoids false triggering in downstream logic. |
Applications
| Industrial Backplane Interface | Microprocessor Bus Extender |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit latched transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74FCT16543ATPAG8 | Same pinout and function; faster propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL ≤ 5.1ns vs. ≤ 5.6ns for E-grade). | Preferred where tighter timing margins are required (e.g., >20MHz bus clocks). | Select IDT74FCT16543ETPAG8 for cost-sensitive industrial designs where 5.6ns delay is acceptable. |
| SN74ALVTH16543DGGR | 3.3V-only supply (1.65–3.6V), different pinout, no power-off disable; higher speed (tPD ≤ 3.2ns) but lower drive (–24mA/24mA). | Suitable for mixed-voltage 3.3V systems; not interchangeable without level-shifting or PCB redesign. | Choose SN74ALVTH16543DGGR only for new 3.3V designs; IDT74FCT16543ETPAG8 remains optimal for existing 5V infrastructure. |
Compared with 74FCT16543ATPAG8, the IDT74FCT16543ETPAG8 trades 0.5ns timing margin for broader availability and lower unit cost; versus SN74ALVTH16543DGGR, it maintains 5V compatibility and live-insertion capability at the expense of voltage flexibility.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by IDT74FCT16543ETPAG8?
IDT74FCT16543ETPAG8 is not a clocked device and has no internal clock - it operates asynchronously. Its timing is governed by input control edges (e.g., xLEAB rise time) and propagation delays (tPLH/tPHL ≤ 5.6ns). For reliable operation with a 20MHz bus, setup/hold times (tSU/tH = 2ns) and pulse width (tW = 4ns) must be met by the system controller driving xLEAB/xOEAB.
Does IDT74FCT16543ETPAG8 support 3.3V logic inputs?
IDT74FCT16543ETPAG8 is a 5V-only device with VIH ≥ 2.0V and VIL ≤ 0.8V, making it compatible with 3.3V CMOS outputs (which typically swing to 3.3V/0V) without level shifters. However, its VCC must be 5.0V ±10%; applying 3.3V to VCC will cause functional failure or damage.
Can IDT74FCT16543ETPAG8 be used in place of IDT74FCT16543ATPAG8?
Yes - IDT74FCT16543ETPAG8 is pin-compatible and functionally identical to IDT74FCT16543ATPAG8, differing only in speed grade (E-grade tPLH/tPHL ≤ 5.6ns vs. A-grade ≤ 5.1ns). It may be substituted where the slightly relaxed timing margin is acceptable, such as in systems with longer trace delays or lower bus frequencies.
What is the purpose of the multiple VCC and GND pins on IDT74FCT16543ETPAG8?
IDT74FCT16543ETPAG8 features six VCC and eight GND pins distributed across the TSSOP-56 package to minimize power delivery impedance and reduce simultaneous switching noise. This layout ensures stable voltage under high-current 64mA output transitions and maintains signal integrity across all 16 bits during burst-mode operation.
Is IDT74FCT16543ETPAG8 suitable for hot-swap applications?
Yes - IDT74FCT16543ETPAG8 supports live insertion via power-off disable: when VCC = 0V, all outputs enter high-impedance state (IOFF ≤ ±1µA), preventing bus contention or backfeeding. This feature is explicitly validated in the datasheet and makes IDT74FCT16543ETPAG8 ideal for modular industrial chassis with hot-pluggable boards.
