STMicroelectronics 74LCX16374TTR Low Voltage 16-Bit D-Type Flip-Flop
The 74LCX16374TTR from STMicroelectronics is a high-performance, low-voltage 16-bit D-type flip-flop with 3-state outputs. Designed for use in 3.3V LVTTL/LVCMOS systems, this integrated circuit is part of the LCX family which offers 5V tolerant inputs for interfacing with 5V systems. This makes the 74LCX16374TTR a versatile choice for mixed-voltage applications, bridging the gap between different logic voltage domains seamlessly.
Each flip-flop is equipped with a D input and an output (Q), and the device features dual enable functions to control the state of the outputs. The two output enable (OE) controls are active low, which means that the outputs are enabled when the OE signals are at a low logic level. When OE is high, the corresponding outputs are in a high impedance state, which is beneficial for bus-oriented applications where multiple devices may need to share the same connection lines.
The 74LCX16374TTR operates at a wide voltage range from 2.0V to 3.6V, providing flexibility in power supply design and ensuring compatibility with lower voltage systems. Furthermore, it boasts a high drive capability with 24mA outputs, making it suitable for driving heavier loads. The device also features low static and dynamic power consumption, contributing to energy efficiency in electronic systems.
For ease of implementation, the 74LCX16374TTR is offered in the TSSOP (Thin Shrink Small Outline Package) form factor, which is ideal for space-constrained applications. Its part number ends with "TTR" indicating that it is provided in tape and reel packaging, suitable for automated assembly processes.
In summary, the STMicroelectronics 74LCX16374TTR is a reliable and versatile choice for designers seeking a 16-bit D-type flip-flop. With features such as 5V tolerant inputs, low power consumption, and 3-state outputs, it is well-suited for a variety of digital applications, including computing, communication, and consumer electronics where interfacing between different voltage domains is required.
