Product details
Overview
PI74FCT16245TVEX from Pericom Semiconductor is a 16-bit bidirectional CMOS transceiver in 48-pin SSOP (V) package, operating at 5V ±10%, with ±32mA/64mA high-current drive, power-off disable for live insertion, and <1.0V typical ground bounce. It enables asynchronous two-way data bus communication in backplane and board-level interconnect applications.
For engineers reviewing the PI74FCT16245TVEX datasheet, PI74FCT16245TVEX pinout, PI74FCT16245TVEX application, or PI74FCT16245TVEX equivalent, key selection criteria include direction-controlled bidirectional flow, Hi-Z output enable, live-insertion capability, and low-noise switching performance under 5V TTL-compatible logic conditions.
Technical Context
This device implements dual 8-bit or unified 16-bit bidirectional data transfer using separate DIR and OE controls per side pair. Its fast CMOS architecture delivers propagation delays as low as 1.5ns (min) and output skew ≤0.5ns across all 16 bits under 50pF load.
The power-off disable feature ensures outputs enter Hi-Z when VCC = 0V, enabling hot-plug compatibility. Input hysteresis (>100mV) improves noise immunity, while balanced drive strength and controlled edge rates reduce ground bounce and undershoot without external termination.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Supply | 5.0V ±10% - compatible with standard TTL/CMOS bus systems and industrial 5V rails |
| IOH / IOL Drive | –32mA / 64mA - supports driving heavy capacitive loads and multiple TTL inputs directly |
| tPHL Propagation Delay | 1.5–7.0ns - enables high-speed bus bridging up to ~140MHz effective data rate |
| VOLP Ground Bounce | <1.0V typical at 5V/25°C - minimizes signal integrity risk in dense PCB layouts |
| Input Hysteresis | 100mV - rejects noise on control lines (DIR, OE) in electrically noisy environments |
| Power-Off Disable | ±100µA IOFF at VCC = 0V - guarantees safe live insertion into powered backplanes |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial temperature range operation |
Pinout & Package
Package: 48-pin plastic SSOP (300-mil wide), RoHS-compliant, JEDEC MO-153 compliant, body dimensions 15.75 × 7.59 mm, 0.635 mm pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1DIR, 2DIR | Direction Control Input | Determines data flow direction per 8-bit side (A→B or B→A); active-HIGH logic |
| 1OE, 2OE | Output Enable Input | Active-LOW control enabling/disabling both A and B ports simultaneously into Hi-Z |
| 1A0–1A7, 2A0–2A7 | Side A I/O Terminals | 8-bit bidirectional port A; function as inputs or 3-state outputs depending on DIR/OE |
| 1B0–1B7, 2B0–2B7 | Side B I/O Terminals | 8-bit bidirectional port B; mirrored functionality to Side A with independent DIR/OE |
| VCC (Pins 7, 22, 35, 44) | Power Supply | Four distributed VCC pins reduce supply impedance and improve decoupling effectiveness |
| GND (Pins 4, 11, 26, 39) | Ground Reference | Four dedicated GND pins minimize ground bounce and support clean return paths |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Live-insertion support | Power-off disable (IOFF ≤ ±100µA) prevents backfeeding and allows safe hot-swap in backplane systems |
| Low ground bounce | Typical VOLP < 1.0V at 5V/25°C reduces signal corruption and EMI in multi-load bus environments |
| Configurable granularity | Two independent 8-bit transceivers or one unified 16-bit path via separate DIR/OE controls per side |
| TTL-compatible interface | VIH = 2.0V min, VIL = 0.8V max, hysteresis ≥100mV - robust interoperability with legacy 5V logic families |
| Thermal reliability | Rated for –40°C to +85°C ambient and storage up to +150°C - suitable for industrial and telecom chassis |
Applications
| Backplane Interconnect | Industrial PLC I/O Module |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Bidirectional data routing between CPU card and peripheral expansion cards in modular rack systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bus transceiver managing asynchronous 16-bit parallel data transfers between isolated voltage domains. Use Value: Live-insertion capability eliminates system downtime during field-replaceable unit (FRU) swaps. |
Use Scenario: Isolating and level-shifting digital I/O signals between microcontroller and ruggedized sensor/actuator interfaces. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Direction-controlled buffer ensuring deterministic timing and noise-immune signal handoff. Use Value: High-current drive (64mA sink) directly drives LED indicators and relay drivers without external buffers. |
| Legacy System Bus Extension | Test Equipment Data Capture |
|
Use Scenario: Extending ISA or VMEbus segments across daughterboards with minimal added latency. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-skew (≤0.5ns) transceiver preserving setup/hold timing margins across extended trace lengths. Use Value: Propagation delay of 1.5–7.0ns supports reliable operation at >100MHz effective bus clock rates. |
Use Scenario: Capturing parallel digital waveforms from DUTs in automated test equipment (ATE) with synchronized sampling. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-fidelity bus interface maintaining signal integrity during high-frequency toggling (e.g., 10MHz toggle test). Use Value: Dynamic supply current of only 2.5mA at 10MHz (16-bit toggle) limits thermal load in densely packed test fixtures. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74FCT16245CTPV | Same pinout and function but rated for commercial temp (0°C to +70°C); no power-off disable (IOFF not specified) | Limited to non-industrial environments; unsuitable for live-insertion or extended temperature deployments | Select only for cost-sensitive, non-ruggedized applications where thermal margin and hot-swap are not required |
| SN74ALVC164245DGGR | 3.3V-only operation (1.65–3.6V), lower drive (±24mA), no power-off disable, different pin mapping | Requires level translation for 5V systems; incompatible with existing 5V backplane designs without redesign | Choose only when migrating to 3.3V infrastructure and redesigning PCB layout and power delivery |
Compared with 74FCT16245CTPV and SN74ALVC164245DGGR, PI74FCT16245TVEX uniquely combines industrial temperature rating, live-insertion safety, and native 5V TTL compatibility-making it irreplaceable in legacy backplane upgrades and field-serviceable embedded systems.

FAQ
Is PI74FCT16245TVEX pin-compatible with PI74FCT16245TA?
Yes - both share identical 48-pin functional pinout and electrical behavior. The "V" suffix denotes SSOP (300-mil) package, while "A" indicates TSSOP (240-mil); mechanical footprint differs, but logic mapping and signal roles are fully interchangeable.
Does PI74FCT16245TVEX support hot-swap in powered backplanes?
Yes - its power-off disable feature guarantees IOFF ≤ ±100µA when VCC = 0V, preventing backfeeding and latch-up during live insertion. This is validated per datasheet Section 3 (DC Electrical Characteristics) and confirmed in application note PS2032G.
What is the maximum capacitive load this transceiver can drive reliably?
It is characterized for CL = 50pF per output (per switching characteristics table), with guaranteed tPHL/tPLH performance up to that load. Driving >50pF may increase propagation delay and ground bounce; use series termination or reduce trace length for heavier loads.
Can PI74FCT16245TVEX operate at 3.3V supply?
No - absolute maximum VCC is +7.0V, but the device is specified only for 5.0V ±10% operation. At 3.3V, VIH/VIL thresholds and output drive fall outside guaranteed specifications; undervoltage operation risks logic failure and undefined state transitions.
