Additional Details

The 74VCXH162373 is commonly used in a wide range of digital applications requiring low power and high speed. The 3.6V tolerance allows it to be used in mixed-voltage systems. It offers a significant performance improvement over older logic families while maintaining low power consumption. It is available in various packages, including TSSOP and QFN. The device's high drive capability allows it to drive heavily loaded buses. Always consult the manufacturer's datasheet for detailed specifications, timing diagrams, and application information. The '2373' indicates that this is a transparent latch, meaning that the output follows the input when the latch enable is active.
