Product details
Overview
PI74FCT16245TAE from Pericom Semiconductor is a 16-bit bidirectional CMOS transceiver with high-current drive (–32mA IOH / 64mA IOL), 5V ±10% supply operation, and power-off disable for live insertion in backplane applications. It supports dual 8-bit or single 16-bit data bus interfacing between asynchronous systems, featuring hysteresis on all inputs and low ground bounce (<1.0V VOLP) at 25°C.
For engineers reviewing the PI74FCT16245TAE datasheet, PI74FCT16245TAE pinout, PI74FCT16245TAE application, or PI74FCT16245TAE equivalent, key selection criteria include direction-controlled bidirectional flow, 3-state enable timing (tPZH/tPLZ ≤ 9.5ns), ±24mA balanced drive capability in its sibling PI74FCT162245T, and compatibility with TSSOP-48 (A) packaging for high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The PI74FCT16245T implements two independent 8-bit bidirectional transceiver blocks (1A/1B and 2A/2B), each controlled by dedicated DIR and OE pins. Direction control is synchronous with data flow: when XDIR = L, data flows B→A; when XDIR = H, data flows A→B. Output enable (XOE) is active-low and places both ports in high-impedance state when asserted.
Its Fast CMOS architecture delivers propagation delays as low as 1.5ns (min) and ≤7.0ns (max) under CL = 50pF/RL = 500Ω loading. Power-off disable ensures outputs remain Hi-Z when VCC = 0V, enabling hot-swap capability without bus contention or latch-up risk during board insertion.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Supply | 5V ±10% - compatible with standard TTL/CMOS logic rails and industrial 5V systems |
| IOH/IOL Drive | –32mA / 64mA - enables direct driving of multiple TTL loads or stub-loaded backplanes without buffers |
| tPHL Propagation Delay | 1.5–7.0ns - supports >100MHz data rates in point-to-point or lightly loaded bus topologies |
| VOLP Ground Bounce | <1.0V @ VCC=5V, TA=25°C - reduces signal integrity risk in multi-output switching environments |
| Power-off Disable | ±100µA leakage @ VCC=0V - guarantees Hi-Z output state during hot insertion, preventing bus conflicts |
| Input Hysteresis | 100mV - improves noise immunity on slow-rising or noisy control lines (e.g., chassis-mounted switches) |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial temperature range operation without derating |
Pinout & Package
PI74FCT16245TAE is packaged in a Pb-free, RoHS-compliant 48-pin 240-mil wide plastic TSSOP (Package Code A), with 0.5mm lead pitch and standard JEDEC MO-153AC footprint.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1DIR, 2DIR | Direction Control Input | Determines data flow direction per 8-bit bank: L = B→A, H = A→B; asynchronous control with hysteresis |
| 1OE, 2OE | Output Enable Input (Active LOW) | Disables both A/B ports to Hi-Z when HIGH; enables bidirectional transfer when LOW |
| 1A0–1A7, 2A0–2A7 | Side A I/O Terminals | 8-bit port A interface; function as inputs or 3-state outputs depending on DIR/OE state |
| 1B0–1B7, 2B0–2B7 | Side B I/O Terminals | 8-bit port B interface; complementary to Side A with mirrored direction logic |
| VCC (Pins 24, 48) | Power Supply | Primary 5V supply connection; dual VCC pins reduce IR drop and improve decoupling |
| GND (Pins 23, 47) | Ground Reference | Return path for all I/O and internal logic; dual GND pins minimize ground bounce |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Live-insertion support | Power-off disable ensures Hi-Z outputs at VCC = 0V, eliminating bus contention during hot-swap in modular backplanes |
| High-noise-immunity inputs | 100mV hysteresis prevents false triggering on slow or noisy control signals like mechanical switches or long traces |
| Low-ground-bounce output drivers | Typical VOLP < 1.0V allows reliable operation in multi-driver systems without external termination resistors |
| Flexible bus segmentation | Independent 1DIR/1OE and 2DIR/2OE controls permit use as two isolated 8-bit transceivers or one unified 16-bit channel |
| Industrial temperature rating | –40°C to +85°C operation enables deployment in factory automation, telecom line cards, and embedded control systems |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| PI74FCT162245TAE | ±24mA balanced output drive; lower VOLP (<0.6V); current-limiting resistors integrated | Better EMI performance in dense routing; reduced need for external termination | Select when system-level noise budget is tight and symmetric drive is preferred over maximum sink current |
| SN74LVTH16245ADGGR | 3.3V-only supply (2.7–3.6V); LVTH logic family; 32mA drive; no power-off disable | Not suitable for 5V backplanes; requires level translation if interfacing with 5V systems | Choose only for new 3.3V designs where voltage scaling and lower power outweigh live-insertion requirements |
Compared with PI74FCT162245TAE and SN74LVTH16245ADGGR, the PI74FCT16245TAE uniquely combines 5V operation, live-insertion capability, and highest sink current (64mA), making it optimal for industrial backplane upgrades where legacy voltage compatibility and hot-swap safety are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the function of the 1DIR and 2DIR pins on PI74FCT16245TAE?
The 1DIR and 2DIR pins are independent direction control inputs for the two 8-bit transceiver banks. When 1DIR = LOW, data flows from port 1B to port 1A; when HIGH, data flows from 1A to 1B. The same logic applies to 2DIR and the second bank. Each DIR pin operates asynchronously and features built-in hysteresis for noise rejection on control lines.
Does PI74FCT16245TAE support hot-swap or live insertion?
Yes. The device includes power-off disable functionality: when VCC = 0V, output leakage is limited to ±100µA, forcing all I/O pins into a high-impedance state. This prevents bus contention during live insertion into powered backplanes, a key requirement for modular telecom and industrial systems.
Can PI74FCT16245TAE operate at 3.3V supply?
No. The PI74FCT16245TAE is specified only for VCC = 5V ±10% (4.5V to 5.5V). Its input thresholds, drive strength, and timing parameters are characterized exclusively within this range. Operation below 4.5V may result in undefined logic states, excessive propagation delay, or failure to meet drive specifications.
How does PI74FCT16245TAE differ from PI74FCT162245TAE?
The PI74FCT16245TAE provides asymmetric drive (–32mA/64mA) optimized for sinking heavy loads, while the PI74FCT162245TAE offers symmetric ±24mA drive with integrated current-limiting resistors to reduce ground bounce (<0.6V) and eliminate external termination. Both share identical pinout, package, and control logic but serve different noise and drive trade-offs.
