Product details
Overview
PI74FCT16245ATAEX from Pericom Semiconductor is a 16-bit bidirectional CMOS transceiver with independent 8-bit or unified 16-bit operation, ±32mA/64mA high-current drive (IOH/IOL), power-off disable for live insertion, and 48-pin TSSOP-A package. It enables asynchronous bus-to-bus communication in backplane and industrial control systems.
For engineers reviewing the PI74FCT16245ATAEX datasheet, PI74FCT16245ATAEX pinout, PI74FCT16245ATAEX application, or PI74FCT16245ATAEX equivalent, key selection criteria include direction-controlled bidirectional data flow, TTL-compatible inputs with hysteresis, 5V ±10% supply operation, and low ground bounce (<1.0V).
Technical Context
This device implements dual 8-bit or single 16-bit bidirectional data transfer using two independent direction (xDIR) and output enable (xOE) controls per side. Its fast CMOS architecture delivers propagation delays as low as 1.5ns (min) and output skew ≤0.5ns across all 16 channels.
The power-off disable feature ensures outputs enter high-impedance state when VCC = 0V (±100µA leakage), enabling hot-swap capability in modular backplane systems. Input hysteresis (100mV) improves noise immunity on control lines under noisy industrial conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Supply | 5V ±10% - supports standard TTL/CMOS system rails without regulation overhead |
| IOH / IOL | –32mA / 64mA - drives heavy capacitive loads and long traces without external buffers |
| tPHL / tPLH | 1.5ns to 7.0ns - enables >140MHz data throughput in synchronous bus interfaces |
| VOLP (Ground Bounce) | <1.0V at 5V/25°C - reduces signal integrity risk in dense PCB layouts |
| Input Hysteresis | 100mV - rejects EMI-induced glitches on DIR/OE control signals |
| Power-Off Disable | IOFF ≤ ±100µA at VCC = 0V - guarantees safe live insertion into powered backplanes |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial temperature range deployment |
Pinout & Package
Package: 48-pin 240-mil wide plastic TSSOP (RoHS-compliant, Pb-free & Green). Dimensions: 12.4mm × 6.0mm × 1.0mm (L×W×H), 0.5mm pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1DIR, 2DIR | Direction Control Input | Determines A→B or B→A data flow per 8-bit bank; TTL-compatible with hysteresis |
| 1OE, 2OE | Output Enable (Active LOW) | Places corresponding A/B ports in Hi-Z when HIGH; enables independent 8-bit isolation |
| 1A0–1A7, 2A0–2A7 | Side A I/O Terminals | Bidirectional data pins for Bus A; support 3-state output and logic input simultaneously |
| 1B0–1B7, 2B0–2B7 | Side B I/O Terminals | Bidirectional data pins for Bus B; electrically matched to Side A for balanced timing |
| VCC (Pins 7, 22, 37) | Power Supply | Three dedicated VCC pins minimize IR drop and improve noise rejection across 16-bit width |
| GND (Pins 4, 19, 34) | Ground Reference | Three GND pins provide low-inductance return paths for high-speed switching currents |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Live-insertion support | Power-off disable (IOFF ≤ ±100µA) enables safe board replacement in active backplane systems |
| High-noise-immunity inputs | 100mV hysteresis on all control pins prevents false triggering in electrically noisy environments |
| Configurable data width | Dual xDIR/xOE controls allow either two independent 8-bit transceivers or one unified 16-bit path |
| Low-ground-bounce outputs | VOLP < 1.0V ensures clean signal edges and reduced crosstalk in high-density routing |
| TTL-compatible interface | VIH = 2.0V, VIL = 0.8V allows direct connection to legacy 5V TTL logic without level shifters |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit bidirectional transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74FCT16245CTPAG | Same FCT family, but 48-pin SSOP-V package (300-mil width); identical electrical specs | Requires PCB footprint change; better thermal dissipation due to larger pad area | Select when board layout accommodates wider SSOP and higher power density is needed |
| SN74LVCH16245A | Lower voltage: 1.65–3.6V operation; 24mA drive; no power-off disable | Not suitable for 5V legacy systems or live-insertion use cases | Choose only for new 3.3V designs where ultra-low static current (1µA ICC) is critical |
Compared with 74FCT16245CTPAG and SN74LVCH16245A, PI74FCT16245ATAEX uniquely combines 5V robustness, live-insertion safety, and high-drive capability-making it irreplaceable in industrial backplane upgrades requiring zero-system-downtime maintenance.

FAQ
What is the maximum data rate supported by PI74FCT16245ATAEX?
The device supports data rates up to 140MHz, derived from its minimum propagation delay of 1.5ns and tight 0.5ns output skew. This enables reliable operation in high-speed parallel bus applications such as VME64x and custom backplane architectures with ≤7ns setup/hold windows.
Does PI74FCT16245ATAEX require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on DIR/OE pins?
No. All control inputs (xDIR, xOE) feature built-in hysteresis and TTL-compatible thresholds (VIH = 2.0V, VIL = 0.8V), allowing direct connection to FPGA GPIO or microcontroller outputs without biasing resistors. Internal input current is ≤1µA, eliminating static loading concerns.
Can PI74FCT16245ATAEX be used in mixed-voltage systems (e.g., 3.3V logic driving its inputs)?
Yes - its inputs are 5V-tolerant with VIH = 2.0V minimum, so 3.3V LVTTL or LVCMOS outputs meet the HIGH threshold. However, outputs swing rail-to-rail at 5V, requiring level translation if interfacing with 3.3V-only receivers.
How does the power-off disable function behave during partial power loss?
When VCC drops below ~0.5V, outputs enter high-impedance state within nanoseconds, drawing ≤±100µA. This prevents back-driving powered buses during brownout or staged power-down sequences - a critical requirement for fault-tolerant backplane systems.
