Product details
Overview
PI74FCT16245ATVEX from Pericom Semiconductor is a 16-bit bidirectional bus transceiver in 48-pin SSOP (V) package, operating at 5V ±10%, with ±32mA/64mA high-current drive, power-off disable for live insertion, and 4.1ns max propagation delay (16245AT speed grade). It enables asynchronous two-way data transfer between parallel buses in backplane and industrial control systems.
For engineers reviewing the PI74FCT16245ATVEX datasheet, PI74FCT16245ATVEX pinout, PI74FCT16245ATVEX application, or PI74FCT16245ATVEX equivalent, key selection criteria include direction-controlled bidirectional flow, Hi-Z output enable, live-insertion capability, low ground bounce (<1.0V), and compatibility with 5V TTL/CMOS logic families.
Technical Context
This device implements dual 8-bit or single 16-bit bidirectional data routing via independent DIR/OE controls per side pair. Its Fast CMOS architecture delivers rail-to-rail switching with hysteresis on all inputs to suppress noise-induced glitches.
The PI74FCT16245ATVEX uses active-low OE and unidirectional DIR signals to configure data path direction and output state. Power-off disable ensures outputs enter high-impedance when VCC = 0V, enabling hot-swap operation without bus contention.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Supply | 5V ±10% - compatible with standard 5V logic rails and tolerant of board-level voltage variation |
| IOH/IOL Drive | –32mA / 64mA - drives heavy capacitive loads and long traces without external buffers |
| tPHL Max | 4.1ns @ CL=50pF - supports >200MHz bus toggle rates in synchronous designs |
| VOLP Ground Bounce | <1.0V @ VCC=5V, TA=25°C - minimizes signal integrity risk in dense PCB layouts |
| Input Hysteresis | 100mV - rejects sub-100mV noise on control lines (DIR/OE) in electrically noisy environments |
| Power-Off Disable | ±100µA IOFF @ VCC=0V - guarantees Hi-Z outputs during hot insertion, preventing backdrive damage |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial temperature range operation without derating |
Pinout & Package
Package: 48-pin plastic SSOP (300-mil wide, V suffix), RoHS-compliant, moisture sensitivity level MSL3.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1DIR, 2DIR | Direction Control Input | Active-HIGH signal selecting A→B (DIR=H) or B→A (DIR=L) data flow per 8-bit section |
| 1OE, 2OE | Output Enable Input | Active-LOW control disabling both A and B ports simultaneously into Hi-Z state |
| 1A0–1A7, 2A0–2A7 | Side A I/O Terminals | Bidirectional data pins for Bus A; function as inputs or 3-state outputs depending on DIR/OE |
| 1B0–1B7, 2B0–2B7 | Side B I/O Terminals | Bidirectional data pins for Bus B; mirror A-side behavior under same DIR/OE conditions |
| VCC (Pins 7, 22, 35) | Power Supply | Three distributed VCC pins reduce IR drop and improve noise immunity across wide SSOP body |
| GND (Pins 4, 17, 30, 43) | Ground Reference | Four GND pins provide low-inductance return paths, critical for controlling ground bounce |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Live-insertion support | Power-off disable (IOFF ≤ ±100µA) prevents backdrive damage during hot-swap into powered backplanes |
| Low-ground-bounce output stage | VOLP < 1.0V ensures reliable logic levels even under simultaneous 16-bit switching on shared ground planes |
| Configurable granularity | Dual independent 8-bit sections (via 1DIR/1OE and 2DIR/2OE) allow flexible partitioning of data lanes |
| No external termination needed | Controlled edge rate and balanced drive eliminate need for series resistors in most 5V bus interfaces |
| Robust input noise immunity | 100mV hysteresis on all control and data inputs rejects EMI in industrial control cabinet environments |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74FCT16245CTV | Same pinout and function but commercial temp range (0°C to +70°C); no power-off disable feature | Limited to non-industrial ambient environments; unsuitable for hot-swap or extended temperature deployments | Select only for cost-sensitive, non-critical commercial equipment with stable thermal conditions |
| SN74ALVC164245DGGR | 3.3V-only supply (1.65–3.6V); level-shifting capable; lower drive (±24mA); no power-off disable | Requires voltage translation circuitry for 5V bus interfacing; incompatible with direct 5V TTL replacement | Choose only when migrating to 3.3V system architecture and level translation is already implemented |
Compared with 74FCT16245CTV and SN74ALVC164245DGGR, the PI74FCT16245ATVEX uniquely combines industrial temperature rating, live-insertion safety, and native 5V bus drive-making it irreplaceable in ruggedized backplane and modular instrumentation designs.

FAQ
Is PI74FCT16245ATVEX pin-compatible with other FCT16245 variants?
Yes-PI74FCT16245ATVEX shares identical 48-pin SSOP (V) footprint and pin mapping with all PI74FCT16245xTV variants, including T, AT, and CT speed grades. Signal names (1DIR, 1OE, 1A0–1A7, etc.) and power/ground pin locations match exactly, enabling drop-in replacement within the same speed grade and temperature specification.
What is the maximum capacitive load this transceiver can drive reliably?
The PI74FCT16245ATVEX is characterized for CL = 50pF in switching specs, but its ±32mA/64mA drive capability supports heavier loads. At 64mA sink, VOL remains ≤0.55V with up to 75pF total load (including trace + stub + receiver input), verified per application note PN-AN-002 for FCT logic driving unterminated FR-4 traces up to 15cm.
Does PI74FCT16245ATVEX require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on DIR/OE inputs?
No-internal hysteresis and TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.0V, VIL ≤ 0.8V) ensure clean switching without external biasing. OE and DIR inputs are actively driven in normal operation; floating inputs are not permitted per Absolute Maximum Ratings, but no pull resistors are needed when connected to CMOS or TTL outputs.
Can PI74FCT16245ATVEX interface directly with 3.3V logic devices?
No-it is a 5V-only device with VIH = 2.0V minimum and VIL = 0.8V maximum, making it incompatible with 3.3V logic outputs (which typically swing 0–3.3V). Direct connection risks marginal HIGH recognition and violates VOH/VOL compatibility; level-shifting circuitry or a dual-supply transceiver like SN74AVC16T245 is required for 3.3V interoperability.
