Product details
Overview
PI74ALVCH16260A from Pericom Semiconductor is a 12-bit to 24-bit multiplexed D-type latch with 3-state outputs, designed for bidirectional data path multiplexing/demultiplexing in microprocessor bus interfaces and memory-interleaving systems. It operates from 2.3V to 3.6V, features bus-hold circuitry eliminating external pullups, supports industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), and uses a 56-pin TSSOP package.
For engineers reviewing the PI74ALVCH16260A datasheet, PI74ALVCH16260A pinout, PI74ALVCH16260A application, or PI74ALVCH16260A equivalent, key selection criteria include latch-enable timing (tW = 3.3 ns min at VCC = 3.3V), output drive capability (±24 mA), bus-hold input retention, and 3-state control via OE1B/OE2B/OEA for bank-selectable transceiver operation.
Technical Context
This device implements dual 12-bit latched transceivers with independent latch-enable (LE1B/LE2B/LEA1B/LEA2B) and output-enable (OE1B/OE2B/OEA) controls, enabling selective storage and direction control between three I/O ports (A1–A12, 1B1–1B12, 2B1–2B12). The SEL input determines A-to-B or B-to-A data flow direction under active OE conditions.
It integrates hysteresis on all inputs for noise immunity, delivers low ground bounce (VOLP < 0.8V) and undershoot (VOHV < 2.0V) at 3.3V, and maintains high-impedance outputs during power-up/down when OE is pulled up to VCC. Bus-hold circuitry actively retains last valid logic state on floating inputs.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar multiplexed latch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ALVCH16260 | Same pinout and function; TI version lacks bus-hold on SEL/LE inputs. | Requires external pullups on control lines in floating scenarios. | Select if TI supply chain preference outweighs bus-hold convenience. |
| 74LVC16260 | Lower drive (±24 mA vs ±32 mA); no hysteresis on inputs. | Not suitable for noisy industrial environments without added filtering. | Prefer only in benign commercial environments with controlled EMI. |
Compared with SN74ALVCH16260 and 74LVC16260, PI74ALVCH16260A provides guaranteed bus-hold and input hysteresis - critical for robust operation in uncontrolled industrial signal environments where floating nodes and EMI are common.

FAQ
What is the purpose of the SEL pin on the PI74ALVCH16260A?
The SEL (Select) pin determines data flow direction between port A and the B-side ports: when SEL = HIGH, data flows from A to 1B; when SEL = LOW, data flows from A to 2B. This enables dynamic routing of a single 12-bit source to either of two 12-bit destinations without external logic, simplifying memory bank selection in interleaved architectures.
How does bus-hold functionality operate during 3-state mode?
During 3-state (high-impedance) output mode, bus-hold circuitry remains active on all data inputs (A1–A12, 1B1–1B12, 2B1–2B12), continuously monitoring and reinforcing the last driven logic state with ±40 μA current. This prevents floating inputs from drifting due to leakage or noise, eliminating the need for external pullup/pulldown resistors while maintaining deterministic logic levels.
Can PI74ALVCH16260A be used with 2.5V-only systems?
Yes - the device is fully specified down to VCC = 2.3V and supports 2.5V nominal operation with guaranteed timing (tPD ≤ 6.6 ns), drive strength (±24 mA), and noise margin (hysteresis ≥ 300 mV). Its 2.3V–3.6V range allows direct interfacing with 2.5V FPGAs, ASICs, and memory controllers without voltage translation.
What is the recommended power-up sequencing for OE pins?
To ensure outputs remain in high-impedance during power-up, OE1B, OE2B, and OEA must be held HIGH via pullup resistors (minimum value determined by driver sink capability) tied to VCC. This prevents bus contention before system initialization completes. The datasheet specifies a minimum pullup resistance based on the maximum sink current (100 μA) of the OE inputs.
