The PI74FCT162Q245TAC is a 16-bit transceiver manufactured by Pericom Semiconductor (now Diodes Incorporated). This device is part of the Quickswitch family, known for its high-speed, low-power operation and minimal signal degradation. It is designed for bidirectional data transmission and is commonly used in applications requiring high-performance bus interfacing.

Applications

• High-speed data buses
• Memory interfaces
• Backplane transceivers
• Data acquisition systems
• Communication systems

Features

• 16-bit bidirectional transceivers
• Low propagation delay (typically less than 4ns)
• TTL-compatible inputs and outputs
• Low ground bounce
• Live insertion compatible
• 3-state outputs
• Available in TSSOP package

Benefits

• Improved system performance due to fast data transfer rates.
• Reduced signal noise and improved signal integrity.
• Easy integration with other TTL devices.
• Reduced power consumption due to low static current.
• Increased system reliability due to live insertion capability.
• Flexible system design with 3-state outputs that allows multiple devices to share a common bus.

Additional Details

The PI74FCT162Q245TAC operates from a 4.75V to 5.25V supply voltage and is specified over the industrial temperature range. The device features output enable (OE) and direction control (DIR) inputs, allowing for flexible control of the data flow. The low propagation delay ensures that data can be transmitted quickly and efficiently, minimizing system bottlenecks. The low ground bounce characteristics help to maintain signal integrity, even in noisy environments. The device is packaged in a TSSOP (Thin Shrink Small Outline Package), which allows for high-density board layouts. The PI74FCT162Q245TAC is ideal for applications where speed, power, and signal integrity are critical considerations.
