PI74FCT162244TVE

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The PI74FCT162244TVE is a non-inverting 16-bit buffer/line driver from the FCT series, manufactured by Diodes Incorporated. It operates at VCC = 5V ±10% and features balanced output drivers with ±24mA current capability. The device includes current limiting resistors to control edge rates, reducing ground bounce and undershoot. It supports Quad-Nibble, Dual-Byte, or single 16-bit word modes via three-state controls. The 'VE' suffix indicates a Pb-free & Green compliant version in a 48-pin 300-mil wide plastic SSOP package.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Balanced output drivers with ±24mA current capability for reduced system switching noise
• Built-in current limiting resistors to control output edge rate and minimize ground bounce
• Power-off disable outputs permitting live insertion of boards when used as backplane drivers
• Hysteresis on all inputs for improved noise immunity

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Driving high capacitance loads
• Low impedance backplane interfaces
• Bus drivers
• Address drivers
• System clock drivers

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix 'VE' corresponds to the specific Pb-free and Green compliant variant in the 48-pin 300-mil wide plastic SSOP package. Confirm the speed grade matches design requirements, as the datasheet lists multiple grades (Blank, A, C, E) for this package type. Ensure compatibility with the intended operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select the PI74FCT162244TVE over the PI74FCT16244T when balanced ±24mA drive is required rather than the higher asymmetric drive of the 16244T. The integrated current limiting resistors eliminate the need for external terminating resistors in most interface applications. Consider the SSOP package dimensions if board space constraints favor the 300-mil width over TSSOP options.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This component belongs to the Fast CMOS (FCT) logic family, designed for high-speed and low-power applications. It serves as a 16-bit buffer/line driver within the broader portfolio of bus interface solutions offered by Pericom Semiconductor (now Diodes Incorporated). The device is pin-compatible with other FCT series buffers but offers distinct drive characteristics compared to standard octal drivers.
