Product details
Overview
PI74FCT16244ATAE from Pericom Semiconductor is a non-inverting 16-bit buffer/line driver with three-state outputs, designed for high-capacitance load and low-impedance backplane driving. It features ±32mA/64mA output drive (IOH/IOL), power-off disable for live insertion, <1.0V typical output ground bounce (VOLP), and operates across –40°C to +85°C at 5.0V ±10%. Used in industrial backplane interfaces and modular system interconnects.
For engineers reviewing the PI74FCT16244ATAE datasheet, PI74FCT16244ATAE pinout, PI74FCT16244ATAE application, or PI74FCT16244ATAE equivalent, key selection criteria include output drive strength, live-insertion capability, ground-bounce performance, and TSSOP-48 packaging compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device implements a flow-through pin architecture with quad-nibble, dual-byte, or full 16-bit bus control via independent 3-state enable inputs (1OE–4OE). Each of its four 4-bit sections operates with separate input (xAx) and output (xYx) terminals, enabling flexible data path segmentation without internal bus contention.
All inputs include hysteresis (100mV), improving noise immunity in noisy industrial environments. The power-off disable feature ensures outputs enter high-impedance state when VCC = 0V, supporting hot-swap compliance in modular chassis systems without external isolation circuitry.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Supply Voltage | 5.0V ±10% - Supports standard TTL/CMOS logic rails; not compatible with 3.3V-only systems. |
| IOH / IOL Drive | –32mA / 64mA - Enables direct driving of 50Ω transmission lines or multiple TTL loads without external buffers. |
| tPLH / tPHL Delay | 1.5–6.5ns (CL = 50pF) - Meets sub-7ns timing budgets for high-speed parallel bus applications up to ~150MHz effective rate. |
| VOLP (Ground Bounce) | <1.0V typ. at 25°C - Reduces signal integrity risk during simultaneous switching on shared ground planes. |
| Input Hysteresis | 100mV - Increases noise margin against EMI-induced glitches on control or data lines in electrically harsh environments. |
| Power-Off Disable | IOFF ≤ ±100μA at VCC = 0V - Allows safe board insertion/removal while backplane remains powered, eliminating hot-swap transients. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - Qualified for extended industrial temperature operation without derating. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 48-pin plastic TSSOP (240-mil width), Pb-free & Green compliant (suffix "E"). Body dimensions: 12.50mm × 6.10mm × 1.20mm (L × W × H), 0.5mm lead pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE–4OE | Active-low 3-state enable per 4-bit section | Enables independent gating of four nibbles; supports partial bus activation and power-aware data routing. |
| 1A0–4A3 | Non-inverting input terminals (16 total) | Direct connection to upstream logic; no polarity inversion; hysteresis improves edge robustness. |
| 1Y0–4Y3 | 3-state buffered output terminals (16 total) | High-drive, low-ground-bounce outputs; sink/source capable; enter Hi-Z when corresponding xOE = HIGH. |
| VCC (Pins 7, 22, 37, 46) | Primary power supply | Four distributed VCC pins reduce IR drop and improve decoupling effectiveness across wide package. |
| GND (Pins 4, 19, 34, 43) | Ground reference | Four dedicated GND pins minimize ground loop inductance and stabilize output switching behavior. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Flow-through pinout | Input and output pins aligned on opposite sides - simplifies layer routing and reduces trace stubs in dense backplane designs. |
| Live-insertion support | Outputs disable automatically at VCC = 0V - eliminates need for external hot-swap controllers in modular rack systems. |
| Balanced AC characteristics | tPZH/tPHZ ≤ 8.0ns / 7.0ns - ensures tight enable/disable timing control for synchronous bus arbitration protocols. |
| Low dynamic ground bounce | VOLP <1.0V (typ.) - maintains signal integrity during 16-bit simultaneous switching without added termination or layout constraints. |
| Industrial temperature range | –40°C to +85°C operation - validated for use in factory automation, test equipment, and telecom line cards without thermal derating. |
Applications
| Industrial Backplane Interface | Modular Rack I/O Expansion |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit non-inverting buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74FCT16244CPAG | Same pinout, identical DC specs, but higher ICCD (100μA/MHz vs. 60μA/MHz); no power-off disable | Lacks live-insertion capability; requires external hot-swap protection in modular systems | Prefer when cost sensitivity outweighs hot-swap requirement and dynamic current is less constrained |
| 74ALVC16244PW | 3.3V-only supply (1.65–3.6V); lower drive (±24mA); smaller TSSOP-48 package (5.0mm width) | Not interoperable with 5V systems; unsuitable for legacy backplanes or mixed-voltage designs | Select only for new 3.3V-only architectures where space and voltage scaling are primary drivers |
Compared with SN74FCT16244CPAG and 74ALVC16244PW, the PI74FCT16244ATAE uniquely combines 5V operation, live-insertion support, and industry-leading ground-bounce suppression-making it the only choice for retrofitting or upgrading hot-pluggable industrial backplanes.

FAQ
Is PI74FCT16244ATAE compatible with 3.3V logic inputs?
No. PI74FCT16244ATAE requires 5.0V ±10% VCC and has TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2.0V min, VIL = 0.8V max). While 3.3V logic outputs may meet VIH under nominal conditions, they fall outside guaranteed operating margins across temperature and voltage extremes-external level shifting is required for reliable interfacing.
Does PI74FCT16244ATAE support hot-swap without external circuitry?
Yes. Its power-off disable feature ensures outputs enter high-impedance state when VCC drops to 0V, allowing safe insertion into a live backplane. This eliminates the need for external hot-swap controllers or sequencing ICs-verified by IOFF ≤ ±100μA at VCC = 0V per datasheet Section 4.
What is the maximum capacitive load this device can drive reliably?
The device is characterized for CL = 50pF in timing tests, but its ±32mA/64mA drive strength supports heavier loads. Application notes confirm stable operation up to 100pF with <1.0V VOLP at 25°C. For >100pF or longer traces, verify signal integrity via IBIS simulation using the official Pericom model.
How does the flow-through pinout improve PCB layout?
The input (xAx) and output (xYx) pins are arranged on opposite sides of the TSSOP package (e.g., inputs on left, outputs on right), enabling straight-through trace routing without layer jumps or vias. This reduces impedance discontinuities, minimizes crosstalk, and cuts layout time for high-speed parallel buses-confirmed in Pericom's layout guidelines (PD-1401).
