Product details
Overview
PI74FCT162245ATAE from Pericom Semiconductor is a 16-bit bidirectional CMOS transceiver in 48-pin TSSOP (240-mil width), designed for asynchronous two-way data bus interfacing between dissimilar logic domains. It features ±24mA balanced output drivers, 5V ±10% supply operation, hysteresis on all inputs, and low ground bounce (<0.6V typical) for noise-sensitive industrial backplane applications.
For engineers reviewing the PI74FCT162245ATAE datasheet, PI74FCT162245ATAE pinout, PI74FCT162245ATAE application, or PI74FCT162245ATAE equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional flow control via DIR/OE pins, Hi-Z output enable timing (max 9.5 ns), ±24mA drive capability, and compatibility with TTL/CMOS mixed-voltage bus translation.
Technical Context
This device implements dual 8-bit or unified 16-bit bidirectional data transfer using separate direction (DIR) and output enable (OE) controls per port pair. Its balanced ±24mA drivers incorporate integrated current-limiting resistors to suppress edge-rate-induced ground bounce and undershoot without external termination.
It operates across –40°C to +85°C ambient, supports 5V ±10% VCC, and delivers propagation delay ≤7.0 ns (A↔B) under 50 pF/500 Ω load. Input hysteresis ensures noise immunity on control and data lines, while power-off disable is not implemented-distinguishing it from the PI74FCT16245T variant.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Supply | 5V ±10% - compatible with standard TTL/CMOS logic rails and industrial 5V systems |
| Output Drive | ±24mA - balanced sourcing/sinking enables clean signal integrity on stubbed or unterminated buses |
| Propagation Delay | ≤7.0 ns - supports high-speed data transfer up to ~140 MHz clock-equivalent rates |
| Ground Bounce | <0.6V typical - reduces simultaneous switching noise in dense PCB layouts |
| Input Hysteresis | 100 mV - improves noise margin against EMI and crosstalk on control/data lines |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial temperature-grade embedded and communications equipment |
| Package | 48-pin TSSOP (240-mil width, Pb-free & Green) - surface-mount compatible with standard reflow profiles |
Pinout & Package
PI74FCT162245ATAE uses a 48-pin thin shrink small outline package (TSSOP) with 0.5 mm pitch, 240-mil body width, and exposed pad-less construction. Pin 1 is marked by a beveled corner; pin numbering follows standard counter-clockwise sequence from top-left.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1DIR, 2DIR | Direction Control Input | Determines data flow direction per 8-bit port (L = B→A, H = A→B) |
| 1OE, 2OE | Output Enable (Active LOW) | Drives both A/B ports into Hi-Z when HIGH; enables bus isolation |
| 1A0–1A7, 2A0–2A7 | Port A I/O Terminals | Side-A bidirectional data lines; function as inputs or 3-state outputs based on DIR/OE |
| 1B0–1B7, 2B0–2B7 | Port B I/O Terminals | Side-B bidirectional data lines; function as inputs or 3-state outputs based on DIR/OE |
| VCC (Pins 7, 22, 37) | Power Supply | Single 5V supply rail; three dedicated pins reduce IR drop and improve decoupling |
| GND (Pins 14, 29, 44) | Ground Reference | Three GND pins minimize ground loop impedance and stabilize switching noise |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Balanced ±24mA Output Drivers | Enables matched rise/fall times and minimizes bus skew without external termination |
| Integrated Edge-Rate Control | On-die current-limiting resistors suppress ground bounce and undershoot below 0.6V |
| Hysteresis on All Inputs | 100 mV input threshold hysteresis rejects transient noise on DIR/OE/data lines |
| Hi-Z Output Enable Timing | Max 9.5 ns enable/disable latency ensures deterministic bus arbitration in real-time systems |
| Industrial Temperature Range | –40°C to +85°C operation supports deployment in factory automation and telecom infrastructure |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bidirectional bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74FCT162245CPAG | Same ±24mA drive, identical pinout, but TI-manufactured with different AC specs (tPHL max 8.5 ns vs. 7.0 ns) | Slightly higher propagation delay limits maximum bus frequency in time-critical designs | Select if TI supply chain alignment or legacy qualification requirements dominate |
| 74ALVC162245PW | 3.3V-only supply (1.65–3.6V), lower drive (±24mA @ 3.3V), no hysteresis, different pinout | Not suitable for 5V systems; requires level-shifting for legacy interface use | Choose only for new 3.3V-only designs where voltage scaling and lower power are primary goals |
Compared with SN74FCT162245CPAG and 74ALVC162245PW, PI74FCT162245ATAE offers tighter propagation delay, built-in hysteresis, and native 5V operation-making it optimal for industrial backplanes and mixed-voltage upgrades where signal integrity and noise immunity are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum data rate supported by PI74FCT162245ATAE?
While not specified as a data rate, the device's 7.0 ns maximum propagation delay and 0.5 ns output skew support reliable operation at effective bus frequencies up to approximately 140 MHz under 50 pF/500 Ω load conditions. Actual achievable rate depends on PCB layout, termination, and system-level timing margins.
Can PI74FCT162245ATAE operate with 3.3V logic levels?
No. PI74FCT162245ATAE is a 5V-only device with VCC specification of 5V ±10%. Its inputs are 5V-tolerant but require ≥2.0V VIH and ≤0.8V VIL thresholds; direct connection to 3.3V-only systems risks incorrect logic interpretation unless level-shifted.
Does PI74FCT162245ATAE support live insertion or hot-swap?
No. Unlike the PI74FCT16245T variant, this part lacks power-off disable functionality. Its outputs do not enter Hi-Z when VCC = 0V, making it unsuitable for live insertion into powered backplanes without additional isolation circuitry.
How many ground and power pins does PI74FCT162245ATAE have?
The 48-pin TSSOP package has three dedicated VCC pins (7, 22, 37) and three GND pins (14, 29, 44). This triple-supply and triple-ground configuration reduces impedance in high-current switching scenarios and improves noise suppression across the 16-bit data path.
