74FCT163244CPAG8

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The 74FCT163244CPAG8 is a 3.3V, 16-bit buffer and line driver manufactured by Renesas Electronics. It belongs to the FCT logic series and features non-inverting polarity with four input lines and four output lines per channel configuration. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 2.7 V to 3.6 V. It provides a high-level output current of -8 mA and a low-level output current of 24 mA. Static current is specified at 100 nA, with an operating supply current of 2 mA. The component functions reliably across a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and is housed in an SSOP-48 package.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Provides 3.3V bus buffering and line driving capabilities for digital signal integrity.
• Supports mixed-voltage system translation between 3.3V and 5V logic levels.
• Features low static power consumption suitable for energy-efficient designs.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Bus switching and isolation in data processing systems
• Voltage translation between 3.3V and 5V domains
• Hot-swapping and hot-docking interface protection

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'CPAG8' against official Renesas documentation to confirm pinout compatibility and RoHS status. Ensure the SSOP-48 package dimensions match your PCB footprint requirements. Confirm that the 3.3V operating voltage aligns with your target system's power rails before procurement.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when 16-bit wide bus buffering is required at 3.3V logic levels. It serves as a direct replacement for similar FCT family buffers where mixed 3.3V/5V operation is necessary. Consider the SSOP-48 package constraints and ensure the 24 mA low-level sink capability meets your load requirements.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part is part of the 74FCT163244 series, which includes variants like the APVG. The CPAG8 designation specifically indicates the SSOP-48 packaging and commercial/industrial temperature rating. It is distinct from the 74FCT244ATSOG8 octal buffer and other 16-bit registers in the FCT portfolio.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

Official substitutes include the IDT74FCT163244APVG. Verify functional equivalence regarding drive strength and voltage tolerance before substitution.
