Product details
Overview
PI74FCT16245CTVE from Pericom Semiconductor is a 16-bit bidirectional bus transceiver with independent 8-bit operation capability, ±32mA/64mA high-current drive (IOH/IOL), 4.1ns max propagation delay at 5V, and power-off disable for live insertion in backplane applications. It operates across –40°C to +85°C with 5V ±10% supply and supports asynchronous two-way data flow between parallel buses in industrial control and telecom interface systems.
For engineers reviewing the PI74FCT16245CTVE datasheet, PI74FCT16245CTVE pinout, PI74FCT16245CTVE application, or PI74FCT16245CTVE equivalent, key selection criteria include direction-controlled bidirectional buffering, Hi-Z output enable timing (5.8ns max), ground bounce performance (<1.0V), and compatibility with 48-pin SSOP (V) packaging for high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device implements dual 8-bit or unified 16-bit bidirectional data transfer using separate DIR and OE controls per side pair, enabling flexible bus isolation and flow arbitration without external logic. Its Fast CMOS process delivers TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2.0V, VIL = 0.8V) with hysteresis for noise immunity on shared bus lines.
The output stage integrates power-off disable functionality, ensuring outputs enter high-impedance state when VCC = 0V (±100µA leakage), and features controlled edge rates via internal current limiting-reducing ground bounce (VOLP < 1.0V) and eliminating need for external termination in most 5V parallel interfaces.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Supply | 5V ±10% - ensures compatibility with standard 5V TTL/CMOS logic domains and legacy backplane power rails |
| Propagation Delay | 1.5–4.1ns (max) - enables reliable 240+ MHz bus operation with tight timing margins in synchronous systems |
| Output Drive | IOH = –32mA, IOL = 64mA - drives heavy capacitive loads (e.g., 10+ TTL inputs or long traces) without signal degradation |
| Ground Bounce | VOLP < 1.0V @ 5V/25°C - minimizes switching noise-induced logic errors during simultaneous output transitions |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - supports deployment in industrial automation, base station, and network equipment environments |
| Input Hysteresis | 100mV - rejects noise on direction and enable control lines in electrically noisy backplane or chassis settings |
| Power-Off Disable | ±100µA leakage @ VCC = 0V - permits hot-swap board insertion without disrupting powered system bus integrity |
Pinout & Package
PI74FCT16245CTVE uses a 48-pin 300-mil wide plastic SSOP (Package Code V), with 0.635mm lead pitch and 7.39–7.59mm body width. Pin numbering follows standard SSOP convention with GND/VCC distributed across both sides for low-inductance power delivery.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1DIR, 2DIR | Direction Control Input | Determines data flow direction per 8-bit port pair (A→B or B→A); active-HIGH logic |
| 1OE, 2OE | Output Enable Input | Active-LOW control placing corresponding A/B ports into Hi-Z state for bus sharing |
| 1A0–1A7, 2A0–2A7 | Port A I/O Terminals | Side-A bidirectional data lines; function as inputs or 3-state outputs based on DIR/OE states |
| 1B0–1B7, 2B0–2B7 | Port B I/O Terminals | Side-B bidirectional data lines; mirror A-side behavior with independent DIR/OE control |
| GND (Pins 4,9,15,20,26,31,37,42) | Ground Reference | Eight dedicated ground pins minimize ground bounce and improve signal integrity across full 16-bit width |
| VCC (Pins 7,12,18,23,29,34,40,45) | Power Supply | Eight VCC pins provide low-impedance decoupling paths and reduce supply rail noise during fast switching |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Live-insertion support | Power-off disable ensures Hi-Z outputs at VCC = 0V, enabling safe hot-plug into powered backplanes |
| Low ground bounce | VOLP < 1.0V at 5V/25°C allows dense 16-bit bus routing without signal integrity compromise |
| Flexible port configuration | Two independent 8-bit transceivers or one unified 16-bit unit via DIR/OE pin pairing |
| TTL-compatible inputs | Hysteresis (100mV) and VIH/VIL thresholds (2.0V/0.8V) ensure robust interfacing with legacy 5V logic families |
| Pb-free & Green packaging | SSOP (V) package meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 3 |

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by PI74FCT16245CTVE in a 16-bit data path?
PI74FCT16245CTVE does not contain internal clock circuitry and is not a clocked device; it supports asynchronous data transfer. Its 4.1ns maximum propagation delay enables reliable operation with data valid windows down to ~240MHz in tightly constrained synchronous bus systems, assuming proper setup/hold timing from external controllers.
Can PI74FCT16245CTVE be used in mixed-voltage systems with 3.3V logic?
No-PI74FCT16245CTVE is specified only for 5V ±10% operation (4.5V–5.5V). Its inputs are TTL-compatible (VIH = 2.0V min) but lack 3.3V-safe clamping; applying 3.3V logic directly to outputs may cause excessive ICC current due to partial turn-on of internal FETs, risking reliability degradation over time.
How does the power-off disable feature behave when VCC drops below 0.5V?
When VCC falls below 0.5V, the internal output drivers enter high-impedance state with leakage current limited to ±100µA per pin, verified across –40°C to +85°C. This behavior is guaranteed by design and tested per JEDEC JESD78, preventing backfeeding and bus contention during hot-swap events.
Are the 1DIR/2DIR and 1OE/2OE pins internally tied or independently controllable?
All four control pins-1DIR, 2DIR, 1OE, and 2OE-are fully independent. Each pair (1DIR/1OE and 2DIR/2OE) governs one 8-bit segment (1A/1B or 2A/2B), allowing asymmetric configurations such as A→B on Port 1 while B→A on Port 2, or disabling only one side while keeping the other active.
