74FCT162500ATPVCT

Overview

The 74FCT162500ATPVCT is a registered bus transceiver from the FCT series, manufactured by Cypress Semiconductor Corp. It features two functional units, each handling eight bits for a total of sixteen bits. The device utilizes CMOS technology and provides true outputs with three-state capability. It is housed in a 56-pin SSOP package with a shrink pitch. The component operates within a voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V and supports an operating temperature range from -40°C to 85°C.

Feature Summary

• Registered bus transceiver architecture supporting multiplexed transmission of registered and real-time data
• Dual eight-bit configuration providing sixteen-bit data transfer capability
• Three-state outputs with series resistors for improved signal integrity
• CMOS construction ensuring low power consumption and high noise immunity

Applications

• High-speed data bus interfaces in industrial control systems
• Multiplexed data transmission in telecommunications equipment
• Data routing in computer peripheral interconnects
• Memory buffer applications in embedded systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation as Cypress Semiconductor Corp or its successor entities, noting that IDT products may be integrated into this lineage. Confirm the specific suffix 'VCT' indicates the SSOP-56 package and commercial/industrial temperature grade. Ensure RoHS compliance status matches current regulatory requirements for the intended deployment region. Cross-reference datasheet revisions to confirm pinout compatibility with existing board designs.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a registered transceiver is required for 16-bit wide buses with tri-state isolation. The dual-function structure allows independent control of data paths. Consider the SSOP-56 package constraints for PCB layout density. Verify that the 4.5V to 5.5V supply range aligns with the system logic levels. Evaluate thermal performance within the specified -40°C to 85°C operational window for environmental suitability.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 74FCT logic family, designed for fast CMOS operation at 5V. Cypress Semiconductor, now part of Infineon Technologies, produced this series for high-performance digital applications. The 74FCT162500 variant specifically addresses needs for registered data buffering in complex digital systems requiring reliable data latching and transmission across multiple channels.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 74FCT162500 variants from different manufacturers such as IDT or Texas Instruments, provided they match the SSOP-56 package and electrical specifications. Verify functional equivalence regarding the registered bus transceiver architecture and output drive characteristics before implementation.
