Product details
Overview
PI74FCT16244TAE from Pericom Semiconductor is a non-inverting 16-bit buffer/line driver with ±32mA/64mA output drive, power-off disable for live insertion, and flow-through pinout optimized for backplane and high-capacitance bus driving. It operates at 5V ±10%, supports Quad-Nibble/Dual-Byte/16-bit mode via three-state controls, and delivers <1.0V typical ground bounce at 25°C.
For engineers reviewing the PI74FCT16244TAE datasheet, PI74FCT16244TAE pinout, PI74FCT16244TAE application, or PI74FCT16244TAE equivalent, key selection criteria include its 32mA high-side / 64mA low-side drive strength, power-off disable behavior, 48-pin TSSOP-A package compatibility, and verified performance in industrial backplane interface designs.
Technical Context
This device implements four independent 4-bit non-inverting buffers, each with dedicated active-low 3-state enable (xOE) and separate input (xAx) and output (xYx) terminals. Its flow-through architecture places inputs on one side and outputs on the opposite side of the 48-pin TSSOP package to minimize trace crossovers.
The PI74FCT16244TAE integrates hysteresis on all inputs for noise immunity, features power-down disable that forces outputs into high-impedance when VCC = 0V, and meets FCT logic family voltage thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.0V, VIL ≤ 0.8V) with TTL-compatible input levels.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Supply Voltage | 5.0V ±10% - Specifies valid operating range; enables direct replacement of legacy 5V TTL/CMOS systems. |
| IOH / IOL Drive | –32mA / +64mA - Delivers robust sink/source capability for driving 50Ω transmission lines or >100pF capacitive loads without external termination. |
| tPLH / tPHL | 1.5–6.5ns (CL = 50pF) - Enables reliable operation up to ~150MHz data rates in point-to-point or lightly loaded bus topologies. |
| VOLP (Ground Bounce) | <1.0V typical at VCC = 5V - Reduces signal integrity risk during simultaneous switching, critical for mixed-signal board layouts. |
| Power-Off Disable | IOFF ≤ ±100μA at VCC = 0V - Allows safe hot-plug insertion into powered backplanes without disrupting system operation. |
| Input Hysteresis | 100mV - Improves noise margin against EMI-induced glitches on long traces or unterminated stubs. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - Qualified for industrial-grade embedded control and communications equipment deployment. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 48-pin plastic TSSOP (Package Code A), 240-mil body width, Pb-free & Green compliant (E suffix).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE, 2OE, 3OE, 4OE | Active-Low 3-State Enable Inputs | Independently control output groups (Y0–Y3 per section); enable Quad-Nibble mode or full 16-bit operation. |
| 1A0–1A3, 2A0–2A3, 3A0–3A3, 4A0–4A3 | Non-Inverting Input Terminals | Four 4-bit input banks aligned to corresponding output sections; flow-through layout simplifies PCB routing. |
| 1Y0–1Y3, 2Y0–2Y3, 3Y0–3Y3, 4Y0–4Y3 | Non-Inverting 3-State Output Terminals | High-drive buffered outputs with power-off disable; placed opposite inputs for minimal layer transitions. |
| VCC (Pins 7, 15, 23, 31, 39) | Power Supply Inputs | Five distributed VCC pins reduce supply impedance and improve decoupling effectiveness across wide die. |
| GND (Pins 1, 9, 17, 25, 33, 41) | Ground Terminals | Six GND pins provide low-inductance return paths, critical for suppressing ground bounce in high-speed switching. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Flow-through pinout | Input and output pins arranged on opposite sides of package to eliminate layer jumps and reduce crosstalk in dense routing. |
| Power-off disable | Outputs enter high-Z state when VCC = 0V, enabling live insertion into powered backplanes without bus contention. |
| Hysteresis on all inputs | 100mV threshold window rejects sub-10ns noise pulses common in noisy industrial environments. |
| High-current drive asymmetry | –32mA IOH / +64mA IOL allows stronger low-level assertion-critical for driving terminated lines or sinking LED loads. |
| Low ground bounce | <1.0V typical VOLP ensures signal integrity remains intact during multi-bit simultaneous switching events. |
Applications
| Industrial Backplane Interface | Legacy Bus Extender |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Driving 16-bit parallel address/data buses across 10+ inch PCB backplanes with >80pF total load capacitance. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Non-inverting buffer with 3-state control acting as bidirectional bus repeater and load isolator.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Backplane driver with power-off disable enabling safe module insertion/removal without system reset. Use Value: ≤±100μA IOFF at VCC = 0V prevents backfeeding or latch-up during hot-swap transitions. |
Use Scenario: Digital pattern generator output stage conditioning signals before connection to DUT with variable input impedance. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Impedance-matched line driver providing consistent edge rates and reduced ground bounce in automated test fixtures. Use Value: Built-in hysteresis and controlled slew eliminate false triggering caused by probe reflections or cable ringing. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74FCT16244CTPV | Same FCT logic family, 48-pin SSOP-V package, 4.1ns max tPLH (vs. 6.5ns for PI74FCT16244TAE) | Higher speed grade (C vs. blank), but wider 300-mil package increases PCB area and may limit routing density | Select when tighter timing budgets exist and board space permits larger SSOP footprint. |
| SN74ALVC164245DGGR | 3.3V-only operation, dual-supply translation (A/B ports), ±24mA drive, no power-off disable | Supports level shifting between 3.3V and 5V domains; lacks live-insertion capability and higher drive strength | Choose only for mixed-voltage systems where voltage translation is required and hot-swap is not needed. |
Compared with 74FCT16244CTPV and SN74ALVC164245DGGR, the PI74FCT16244TAE uniquely combines 5V operation, power-off disable, and highest sink drive (64mA) in a compact TSSOP-A package-making it optimal for industrial backplane and hot-swap applications where reliability under dynamic insertion is mandatory.

FAQ
Is PI74FCT16244TAE pin-compatible with standard 74FCT16244 devices?
Yes-PI74FCT16244TAE uses the industry-standard 48-pin TSSOP-A footprint and identical pinout (1OE–4OE, A/Y banks, VCC/GND distribution) defined in JEDEC MO-153. It replaces generic 74FCT16244 variants without PCB redesign, maintaining full functional and timing compatibility.
Does PI74FCT16244TAE support mixed-mode voltage operation (e.g., 3.3V inputs with 5V VCC)?
No-it is strictly a 5V-only device. Input thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.0V, VIL ≤ 0.8V) and DC characteristics are specified only for VCC = 5.0V ±10%. Applying 3.3V logic signals directly is acceptable (since 3.3V > 2.0V VIH), but the device does not translate voltages or operate below 4.5V.
What is the maximum capacitive load this device can reliably drive?
Based on characterization data and application notes, PI74FCT16244TAE maintains signal integrity up to 150pF load capacitance at 25°C with CL = 50pF test condition. At full 64mA drive, it sustains VOL ≤ 0.55V even with 100pF+ loads, making it suitable for long backplane traces and multi-drop configurations.
How does the power-off disable feature behave during partial power loss?
When VCC drops below ~0.5V, outputs transition to high-impedance within nanoseconds, as confirmed by IOFF ≤ ±100μA measurement at VCC = 0V. This behavior is intrinsic to the FCT output stage design and requires no external circuitry-ensuring fail-safe isolation during brown-out or hot-swap events.
