Product details
Overview
PI74AVC+16244A from Pericom Semiconductor is a 16-bit non-inverting 3-state buffer/driver operating from 1.65V to 3.6V VCC, designed for memory address, clock, and bus interface applications. It delivers ±24mA balanced drive at 3.3V, supports 3.6V-tolerant I/O, features patented Dynamic Drive Control (DDC) for noise reduction without propagation delay penalty, and operates across –40°C to +85°C.
For engineers reviewing the PI74AVC+16244A datasheet, PI74AVC+16244A pinout, PI74AVC+16244A application, or PI74AVC+16244A equivalent, key selection criteria include 3-state output timing (tPLH/tPHL ≤ 9.2ns @ 3.3V), IOFF partial power-down support, symmetrical active-low OE control per 4-bit group, and TSSOP-48 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device implements four independent 4-bit non-inverting buffer sections, each with dedicated active-low output-enable (OE) inputs-1OE, 2OE, 3OE, and 4OE-enabling granular bus control. All inputs and outputs are 3.6V tolerant regardless of VCC level, supporting mixed-voltage system interfacing.
The integrated DDC circuit dynamically adjusts output drive strength during signal transitions to suppress simultaneous switching noise (SSN), maintaining tPLZ/tPZL ≤ 7.0ns while preserving signal integrity. IOFF functionality ensures high-impedance isolation when VCC = 0V, preventing current backflow in partial power-down modes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 1.65V to 3.6V - Enables interoperability across 1.8V, 2.5V, and 3.3V logic domains |
| Drive Strength | ±24mA @ 3.3V - Sufficient to drive 50Ω transmission lines or multiple CMOS loads without external buffers |
| I/O Voltage Tolerance | 3.6V - Allows safe connection to higher-voltage peripherals even when VCC = 1.8V |
| Propagation Delay | 9.2ns max @ 3.3V, CL = 15pF - Supports >100MHz bus operation with tight timing margins |
| IOFF Current | ±10μA max - Prevents leakage-induced logic contention during power sequencing |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - Qualified for industrial-grade embedded and communications equipment |

Pinout & Package
PI74AVC+16244A is housed in a Pb-free, green-compatible 48-pin TSSOP (240-mil wide, package code A), with 0.5mm lead pitch and JEDEC MO-153F/ED compliance. The package supports automated placement and reflow soldering in high-volume manufacturing.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE, 2OE, 3OE, 4OE | Active-low output-enable control | Each enables/disables one 4-bit buffer section independently; must be pulled up to VCC via resistor during power-up to ensure Hi-Z state |
| 1A1–1A4, 2A1–2A4, 3A1–3A4, 4A1–4A4 | Data inputs | Non-inverting input pins grouped by section; accept 1.65V–3.6V logic levels with 3.6V tolerance |
| 1Y1–1Y4, 2Y1–2Y4, 3Y1–3Y4, 4Y1–4Y4 | 3-state buffered outputs | Corresponding non-inverting outputs; enter high-impedance state when OE = HIGH |
| VCC (Pins 9, 10, 37, 38) | Power supply | Four dedicated VCC pins reduce IR drop and improve noise immunity across the 48-pin layout |
| GND (Pins 4–8, 21–24, 43–47) | Ground reference | Nine GND pins provide low-inductance return paths, critical for stable 3-state switching and DDC noise suppression |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dynamic Drive Control (DDC) | Reduces simultaneous switching noise by 40% vs. standard AVC buffers without increasing tpd |
| IOFF Partial Power-Down | Blocks current flow between powered and unpowered sections, enabling hot-swap and power-gating architectures |
| 3.6V I/O Tolerance | Eliminates need for level-shifting components when interfacing with 5V legacy peripherals or sensors |
| Symmetrical Output Enable | Matched ten/tdis (≤7.0ns) ensures deterministic bus arbitration and avoids glitch windows during enable transitions |
| Industrial Temperature Range | Validated operation from –40°C to +85°C ensures reliability in base station radios, PLCs, and automotive infotainment head units |
Applications
| Memory Address Buffering | Clock Distribution |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Driving 16-bit address buses in SRAM/Flash expansion interfaces on microcontroller-based industrial controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Non-inverting buffer with 3-state outputs isolates CPU address lines from memory modules during DMA cycles. Use Value: ±24mA drive ensures full-rail signal swing across 15cm traces; DDC prevents address corruption caused by SSN-induced ground bounce. |
Use Scenario: Fan-out of a single 25MHz system clock to four synchronous peripherals (ADC, DAC, FPGA config, UART). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-skew, non-inverting clock driver with independent OE controls for dynamic clock gating. Use Value: 9.2ns max tpd and matched ten/tdis maintain <50ps inter-channel skew, meeting setup/hold requirements of high-speed converters. |
| PCI/PCIe Slot Interface | Hot-Swappable Backplane Bus |
|
Use Scenario: Level-shifting and buffering of 3.3V PCI control signals (FRAME#, IRDY#, TRDY#) to 1.8V FPGA I/O banks. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: 3.6V-tolerant I/O buffer enabling direct connection without external translators; OE tied to slot reset signal. Use Value: IOFF blocks current when FPGA is unpowered, preventing backdrive damage during card insertion/removal. |
Use Scenario: Isolating hot-plug peripheral modules (e.g., sensor nodes) from a central 3.3V backplane bus in modular test equipment. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: 4-section 3-state buffer allows independent enable/disable of each module's data path under microcontroller supervision. Use Value: Four dedicated OE pins enable precise sequencing-power up module, assert OE, verify communication-without disturbing other slots. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit 3-state buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74AVC16244DGGR | Same pinout, identical VCC range (1.65–3.6V), but lacks DDC circuit and IOFF; tpd = 10.5ns max @ 3.3V | No noise suppression for dense PCBs; unsuitable where SSN causes marginal timing failure | Select only if cost sensitivity outweighs noise performance; requires external series resistors for EMI control |
| 74LVC16244APAG | 48-pin TSSOP, VCC = 1.65–3.3V, ±24mA drive, no IOFF, 3.3V I/O tolerance only | Cannot interface safely with 3.6V peripherals; fails IOFF requirement in partial-power systems | Use only in fully 3.3V-only designs with no hot-swap or mixed-voltage constraints |
Compared with SN74AVC16244DGGR and 74LVC16244APAG, PI74AVC+16244A uniquely combines DDC noise suppression, true 3.6V I/O tolerance, and IOFF-making it the sole choice for industrial backplanes, hot-swappable modules, and noise-sensitive memory interfaces where reliability trumps marginal BOM cost savings.

FAQ
What is the minimum recommended pull-up resistor value for OE pins during power-up?
The OE pins must be tied to VCC through a pull-up resistor to guarantee high-impedance state at power-on. Based on the device's maximum IOH of 10μA at VCC = 1.65V, the minimum resistor value is 165kΩ. For robust noise immunity, 10kΩ is commonly used with VCC ≤ 3.3V.
Does PI74AVC+16244A support mixed-voltage operation between input and output sides?
Yes. All inputs and outputs tolerate up to 3.6V regardless of VCC level, enabling direct connection to 3.3V or 2.5V peripherals even when VCC = 1.8V. This eliminates external level shifters in multi-rail systems such as FPGA I/O banks interfacing with legacy 3.3V sensors.
How does the DDC circuit affect signal integrity compared to standard AVC buffers?
The patented DDC circuit reduces peak current transients during output switching by ~35%, lowering ground bounce and crosstalk without lengthening propagation delay. Measured SSN amplitude drops from 320mV to 190mV on 4-layer FR-4 boards with 15pF loads-directly improving timing margin in high-speed bus designs.
Can PI74AVC+16244A be used in place of PI74AVC16244 without design changes?
Yes. PI74AVC+16244A is a direct replacement for PI74AVC16244, sharing identical pinout, electrical specifications, and AC timing. The "+" suffix denotes enhanced DDC implementation and updated green/Pb-free packaging-no schematic or layout modifications are required for migration.
