74FCT16244CTPVG

Overview

The IDT 74FCT16244CTPVG is a 16-bit buffer and line driver belonging to the FCT logic family. It features four independent 4-bit drivers with non-inverting true outputs and three-state control. The device utilizes 0.5-micron CMOS technology, offering high-speed performance with typical output skew of less than 250 ps. It operates within an extended commercial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and supports a supply voltage of 5V ±10%. The component provides high drive capability with -32mA source and 64mA sink currents, suitable for driving high capacitive loads and low-impedance backplanes.

Feature Summary

• High-drive outputs capable of sourcing -32 mA and sinking 64 mA
• Power-off disable feature enables live insertion without damage
• Edge rate control circuits improve noise characteristics
• ESD protection exceeds 2000V per MIL-STD-883 Method 3015

Applications

• Memory bus drivers
• Clock distribution networks
• High-speed and low-power bus interface applications
• Driving high capacitive loads and low impedance backplanes

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix PVG against official Renesas or IDT documentation to confirm package type and tape/reel specifications. Confirm RoHS compliance status as manufacturing sources may vary. Check current lifecycle status as this component series may be subject to discontinuation or replacement by newer generations.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high drive strength is required for bus lines compared to standard FCT devices. Ensure the application benefits from the power-off disable feature for hot-swap scenarios. Verify that the TSSOP or similar narrow body package fits the PCB layout constraints compared to wider SSOP options.

Part Context

This part belongs to the IDT 74FCT16244T/AT/CT/ET family of 16-bit buffers. It serves as a high-speed, low-power CMOS replacement for older ABT functions. The FCT series is designed for systems requiring fast propagation delays and balanced output drivers to reduce system switching noise.

Replacement Considerations

Equivalent parts include CY74FCT16244CT (Texas Instruments) and 74FCT16244CT (Renesas). Verify pin compatibility and electrical parameters before substitution.
