SN74LVC16373A 16-Bit Transparent D-Type Latch

The SN74LVC16373A from Texas Instruments is a high-performance, 16-bit transparent D-type latch designed for 2-V to 3.6-V VCC operation. This integrated circuit is part of the LVC family, which offers products with a 5-V tolerant input for mixed-voltage mode operation and down translation to interface with 5-V logic at a lower voltage operation.

Key Features

• Wide Operating Voltage Range: Designed to operate from 2 V to 3.6 V, making it suitable for a variety of low-voltage applications.
• High Drive Capability: Provides 24-mA output drive at 3.3 V, which is beneficial for driving heavier loads.
• 5-V Tolerant Inputs: Inputs can tolerate up to 5 V, allowing direct interfacing with 5-V logic without the need for additional level shifting.
• Low Power Consumption: Features a low ICC of 20 µA maximum, contributing to energy-efficient designs.
• Edge-Rate Control: Inputs accept voltages up to 5.5 V and have Ioff which supports partial Power-down mode operation.
• Latch-Up Performance: Exceeds 250 mA per JESD 17, ensuring robustness in harsh environments.

Applications

The SN74LVC16373A is versatile and can be used in a wide range of applications, including:

• Memory address latching
• Data storage and retrieval systems
• Bus interface and buffering
• Computers and computer peripherals
• Telecommunication infrastructure
