The MC74LCX16373DTR2 is a high-performance, low-voltage 16-bit transparent D-type latch with 3-state outputs designed by ON Semiconductor. This integrated circuit is particularly suitable for implementing buffer registers, I/O ports, bidirectional bus drivers, and working memory. It operates at a voltage range of 2.3V to 3.6V, which makes it compatible with 3.3V systems and ensures low power consumption while maintaining high-speed operation.

Key Features

• 16-Bit D-Type Latches: With two sets of eight latches, this device can store 16 bits of data when the latch enable (LE) input is high, and retain the stored data when LE is low.
• 3-State Outputs: The 3-state outputs can be set to active or high impedance, which is essential for bus-oriented applications.
• 5V Tolerant Inputs: The inputs are 5V tolerant, allowing interface with 5V systems without the need for additional level shifting.
• Power Down High Impedance Inputs and Outputs: This feature ensures that the device draws a minimal amount of current when powered down, thus conserving energy.
• Support for Live Insertion and Withdrawal: It is designed to be inserted or removed from a live backplane without affecting the backplane's operation.
• Multiple Package Options: Available in TSSOP packaging, it is suitable for surface mount technology and offers a compact footprint for space-constrained applications.

Applications

The MC74LCX16373DTR2 is ideal for a wide range of applications, including:

• Memory address latching in computers and servers
• Buffering data in telecommunications systems
• Peripheral expansion in consumer electronics
• Interface bridging in industrial control systems

With its robust feature set and ON Semiconductor's reputation for quality, the MC74LCX16373DTR2 is a reliable and versatile choice for designers who require high-speed, low-voltage operation and bus-friendly interfacing in their digital logic applications.
