Product Overview: 74LVC16373ADGG,118

The 74LVC16373ADGG,118 is a high-performance, low-voltage 16-bit transparent D-type latch with 3-state outputs, designed and manufactured by NXP Semiconductors. This integrated circuit is part of the LVC family, which operates at a voltage range from 1.2V to 3.6V. This feature makes it particularly suitable for interfacing with 3.3V systems and for battery-powered and low-power applications.

Constructed with an advanced CMOS technology, the 74LVC16373ADGG,118 ensures reduced power consumption while maintaining high-speed operation. The device is capable of handling speeds of up to 50 MHz (typical), which is ideal for high-speed data storage and transfer operations. It is also equipped with 5V tolerant inputs, which allow for interfacing with 5V logic signals without the risk of damage, thereby providing a great deal of flexibility in mixed-voltage environments.

The 74LVC16373ADGG,118 features two separate 8-bit latches with individual clear and output enable inputs for each latch. The transparent nature of the latches means that while the latch-enable (LE) input is high, the Q outputs will follow the data (D) inputs. When LE is taken low, the Q outputs will retain the information that was present at the D inputs prior to the transition of LE from high to low. The 3-state outputs, which can be placed in a high-impedance state, facilitate bus-sharing and system expansion by disconnecting the outputs from the bus lines.

Encased in a slim TSSOP48 package, the 74LVC16373ADGG,118 is designed for space-saving on PCBs, making it an excellent choice for compact electronic designs. The balanced propagation delays and transition times across the device contribute to its reliability and performance in fast-paced and timing-critical applications.

As a part of NXP's commitment to environmental sustainability, the 74LVC16373ADGG,118 is also available in lead-free and RoHS-compliant packaging, ensuring that it meets the latest environmental standards and regulations for electronic components.

With its combination of low-power operation, high-speed performance, and flexible interfacing capabilities, the 74LVC16373ADGG,118 is an excellent choice for designers looking to implement reliable data storage and bus interface functions in their digital systems.
