Product details
Overview
PI74AVC+16268A from Pericom Semiconductor is a 12-bit to 24-bit registered bus exchanger with 3-state outputs, designed for synchronous bidirectional data exchange between narrow high-speed and wide lower-frequency buses. It operates from 1.65V to 3.6V VCC, delivers ±24mA balanced drive at 3.3V, and features IOFF support for partial power-down operation in industrial systems (-40°C to +85°C).
For engineers reviewing the PI74AVC+16268A datasheet, PI74AVC+16268A pinout, PI74AVC+16268A application, or PI74AVC+16268A equivalent, this device enables deterministic timing control in memory-mapped I/O bridges, FPGA-to-ASIC interconnects, and multi-bus system controllers where voltage-level flexibility and noise-controlled drive are critical.
Technical Context
The PI74AVC+16268A implements dual-path registered data flow: a two-stage pipeline for A-to-1B transfer and single-register storage for A-to-2B, enabling sequential 12-bit words to be assembled synchronously into a 24-bit B-port word on CLK edges. All control inputs (CLKEN1B, CLKEN2B, CLKENA1, CLKENA2, SEL) are registered and synchronized to CLK.
Its patented Dynamic Drive Control (DDC) circuit reduces switching noise without increasing propagation delay, while 3.6V-tolerant I/O allows interfacing with legacy 3.3V or 2.5V logic despite 1.65–3.6V core supply. Output enables OEA and OEB are registered, ensuring synchronous bus direction changes and predictable high-impedance entry during power-up when OE is pulled up and clocked promptly.

Equivalent & Alternatives

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74AVCH16T245 | 16-bit dual-supply translator (1.2–3.6V); lacks pipelined A→1B path and DDC circuit. | Requires external clocking logic for 12→24 widening; higher SSN in dense layouts. | Prefer when dual-supply isolation is needed over deterministic 24-bit burst assembly. |
| 74LVC16245A | Non-registered 16-bit transceiver; no internal registers, no CLK/SEL synchronization, max VCC = 3.6V only. | Cannot perform synchronous 12→24 widening; unsuitable for clock-domain bridging. | Select only for simple level-shifting without timing control or bus widening requirements. |

FAQ
What is the minimum recommended pull-up resistor value for OEA/OEB during power-up?
The minimum pull-up resistor value is determined by the current-sinking capability of the driver driving OE. Per the datasheet, OE must be tied to VCC through a pullup resistor; the exact value depends on the driver's sink current rating and required rise time. For typical 3.3V systems with ≤4mA sink capability, 4.7kΩ is commonly used to ensure reliable high-impedance entry before first clock edge.
Does PI74AVC+16268A support asynchronous bus direction changes?
No. Bus direction changes are fully synchronous to CLK because OEA and OEB are registered control inputs. Direction change occurs only on the low-to-high CLK transition following assertion of the enable signal, eliminating glitches and ensuring deterministic timing alignment across all 24 B-port outputs.
Can PI74AVC+16268A operate reliably at 1.65V VCC with 3.3V I/O signals?
Yes. Its 3.6V-tolerant I/O structure allows inputs and outputs to safely handle 3.3V signals even when VCC = 1.65V. This is confirmed by the Absolute Maximum Rating (VO = –0.5V to +4.6V) and DC Electrical Characteristics tables, which specify VIH/VIL thresholds referenced to VCC-not fixed voltages.
How does the DDC circuit reduce noise without affecting propagation delay?
The patented Dynamic Drive Control circuit dynamically adjusts output driver strength during signal transitions-reducing slew rate at voltage midpoints while maintaining full drive at logic thresholds. This lowers di/dt-induced noise and crosstalk without extending the time between input and valid output, preserving tPD specifications across all VCC conditions.
