ON Semiconductor 74LCX162373MTD Low-Voltage CMOS 16-Bit Transparent Latch

The 74LCX162373MTD from ON Semiconductor is a high-performance, 16-bit transparent latch designed for use in 3.3V VCC applications. It is part of the LCX family of products that are characterized by low voltage operation and low power consumption, making them ideal for battery-powered and power-sensitive applications. The latch is packaged in a TSSOP-48 (Thin Shrink Small Outline Package) that offers a compact footprint while providing excellent thermal performance.

Featuring a 5V tolerant input, the 74LCX162373MTD allows for a mixed voltage mode operation which is essential for interfacing with 5V systems, thereby providing a great deal of design flexibility. The device supports non-inverting 3-state outputs, which means that when the output-enable (OE) input is high, the outputs are in a high impedance state. This feature is particularly useful when multiple devices are connected to a common bus, as it prevents bus contention.

The transparent latches of the 74LCX162373MTD are designed to latch the inputs when the latch-enable (LE) input is high, and the Q outputs will follow the data (D) inputs. When LE is low, the Q outputs are unaffected by the data inputs and remain in their previous state. This functionality is crucial for holding data stable while other operations are performed.

With its low on-resistance and reduced ground bounce noise, the 74LCX162373MTD provides stable signal integrity, which is essential for high-speed data communication and processing. The device also supports a wide operating temperature range, making it suitable for industrial applications where temperature extremes are common.

Overall, the 74LCX162373MTD from ON Semiconductor is a versatile and reliable component for system designers looking to incorporate a 16-bit transparent latch into their 3.3V logic systems. Its compatibility with 5V signals, coupled with its low power consumption and robust performance, makes it an excellent choice for a wide array of electronic applications, from consumer electronics to complex industrial control systems.
