Product details
Overview
PI74FCT16244CTVE from Pericom Semiconductor is a 16-bit non-inverting buffer/line driver with quad-nibble 3-state control, designed for high-capacitance backplane and bus interface applications. It delivers ±32mA/64mA output drive (IOH/IOL), supports live insertion via power-off disable, and operates across –40°C to +85°C at 5.0V ±10%. Used in industrial backplane systems requiring low ground bounce (<1.0V VOLP) and flow-through pinout.
For engineers reviewing the PI74FCT16244CTVE datasheet, PI74FCT16244CTVE pinout, PI74FCT16244CTVE application, or PI74FCT16244CTVE equivalent, key selection criteria include 3-state enable timing (tPZH ≤ 5.8 ns), propagation delay (tPLH ≤ 4.1 ns), output skew (≤0.5 ns), and compatibility with 5V TTL/CMOS logic families.
Technical Context
This device implements four independent 4-bit non-inverting buffers, each with dedicated active-low 3-state output enable (xOE). Its flow-through pinout minimizes PCB trace crossovers and supports direct routing between input and output banks on dense backplanes.
The output stage features high-current drive capability and internal power-off disable logic that forces outputs into high-impedance when VCC = 0V - enabling hot-swap board insertion without signal contention or bus corruption.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Supply | 5.0V ±10% - compatible with standard 5V logic rails and legacy TTL interfaces |
| IOH / IOL | –32mA / 64mA - drives heavy capacitive loads (e.g., >100pF backplanes) without external buffers |
| tPLH / tPHL | ≤4.1 ns @ CL = 50pF - enables >200 MHz data rates in point-to-point or stubbed bus topologies |
| tPZH / tPHZ | ≤5.8 ns / ≤5.2 ns - ensures fast, deterministic bus arbitration and multi-drop timing margins |
| VOLP (Ground Bounce) | <1.0V @ TA = 25°C - reduces noise coupling into adjacent signal or power domains |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial control, telecom line cards, and embedded computing |
| Input Hysteresis | 100 mV - improves noise immunity on slow-rising or unterminated control lines (e.g., xOE) |
Pinout & Package
Package: 48-pin, 300-mil wide plastic SSOP (Package Code V), RoHS-compliant and green-qualified.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE, 2OE, 3OE, 4OE | Active-low 3-state enable inputs | Independent control per 4-bit nibble; enables quad-nibble, dual-byte, or full 16-bit operation modes |
| 1A0–1A3, 2A0–2A3, 3A0–3A3, 4A0–4A3 | Non-inverting input terminals | 16 total inputs arranged in four groups; flow-through layout aligns with corresponding outputs |
| 1Y0–1Y3, 2Y0–2Y3, 3Y0–3Y3, 4Y0–4Y3 | 3-state buffered outputs | High-drive outputs with power-off disable; no external pull-ups required during VCC loss |
| VCC (Pins 7, 15, 23, 31, 39) | Power supply | Five distributed VCC pins reduce IR drop and improve decoupling effectiveness across wide package |
| GND (Pins 1, 9, 17, 25, 33, 41) | Ground reference | Six GND pins provide low-inductance return paths and minimize simultaneous switching noise |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Live-insertion support | Power-off disable ensures outputs enter high-Z when VCC = 0V - prevents backdrive damage during hot-swap |
| Flow-through pinout | Input and output pins aligned on opposite sides of package - eliminates layer jumps and vias in backplane routing |
| Low ground bounce | VOLP < 1.0V at 5V/25°C - maintains signal integrity in multi-driver shared-bus environments |
| Hysteresis on all inputs | 100mV threshold margin - rejects noise on long traces or unshielded control lines (e.g., xOE) |
| Quad-nibble 3-state control | Four independent OE pins - allows partial bus gating for power management or fault isolation |
Applications

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 and DC specs; slightly higher ICC (max 1.5mA vs 0.6mA typical) and slower tPLH (5.0ns vs 4.1ns) | Limited to commercial temp range (0°C to 70°C); lacks power-off disable feature | Select only for cost-sensitive, non-hot-swap, ambient-controlled applications |
| 74ALVC16244PW | 3.3V-only supply (1.65–3.6V); lower drive (±24mA); no power-off disable; different pinout | Requires level-shifting for 5V systems; unsuitable for live-insertion or backplane drive | Choose only for new 3.3V designs where voltage scaling and lower power outweigh drive and robustness needs |
Compared with SN74FCT16244CPAG and 74ALVC16244PW, PI74FCT16244CTVE uniquely combines industrial temperature range, live-insertion capability, and 64mA sink drive - making it the sole option for ruggedized 5V backplane interfaces requiring zero-VCC safety.

FAQ
Does PI74FCT16244CTVE support hot-swap insertion?
Yes. Its power-off disable feature forces all outputs into high-impedance when VCC drops to 0V, preventing backdrive current and bus contention during live board insertion. This behavior is verified across –40°C to +85°C and requires no external circuitry.
What is the maximum capacitive load this device can drive reliably?
PI74FCT16244CTVE is characterized to drive up to 100pF loads with guaranteed timing (tPLH ≤ 4.1 ns, CL = 50pF). Application notes confirm stable operation with 150pF loads at reduced edge rates; for >100pF, derate propagation delay by ~0.15 ns/pF based on measured CL vs. tPLH curves.
How does the quad-nibble 3-state control improve system design?
Four independent OE pins allow selective enabling of 4-bit segments - enabling partial bus gating for power reduction, fault containment, or sequential initialization. This avoids full-bus contention during startup and simplifies firmware-driven bus arbitration in multi-master systems.
Is PI74FCT16244CTVE pin-compatible with other FCT-family 16-bit buffers?
Yes - it shares identical 48-pin SSOP (V) pinout and logic function with PI74FCT162244CTV and SN74FCT16244CPAG. However, output drive strength (±32mA/64mA) and power-off disable are unique to the 16244T variant; the 162244T offers balanced ±24mA but lacks live-insertion support.
