The SN74LVC16373 from Texas Instruments is a high-performance, 16-bit transparent D-type latch designed for use in systems that require the high-speed capture and temporary storage of data. This integrated circuit (IC) is part of the LVC family, which operates at a lower voltage and with better performance than many other logic families.

Key Features:

• Voltage Range: The device supports a wide supply voltage range of 2.7 V to 3.6 V, making it ideal for interfacing with 3.3 V logic devices.
• High-Speed Operation: With a typical propagation delay time of just 3.6 ns and an output enable time of 2.3 ns, the SN74LVC16373 is capable of high-speed operation, which is essential for modern digital systems.
• Bus-Hold Data Inputs: The latches come with bus-hold data inputs that eliminate the need for external pull-up or pull-down resistors, simplifying the design and reducing component count.
• Transparent Latch: As a transparent latch, the SN74LVC16373 allows data at its inputs to be outputted as long as the latch-enable (LE) input is high. When LE is low, the output will hold the last data presented before the transition of LE.
• Output Control: The device features an output control (OC) input that, when high, places the outputs in a high-impedance state, which is useful for multiplexing and bus-oriented applications.
• Low Power Consumption: It is designed for low power consumption, with a typical ICC of only 20 µA.
• Compatibility: The SN74LVC16373 is compatible with mixed-voltage systems and can be used in down translation to interface with devices operating at a lower voltage.

Applications:

The SN74LVC16373 is versatile and can be used in a variety of applications such as:

• Temporary storage of data
• Data multiplexing
• Data bus driving
• System address latching

Package and Quality:

Available in multiple package options including TSSOP, TVSOP, and VFBGA, the SN74LVC16373 provides flexibility for PCB design. It is also compliant with RoHS and Green standards, ensuring environmental safety and quality.
