Product Overview: SN74LVC16373ADLRG4 from Texas Instruments

The SN74LVC16373ADLRG4 is a high-performance, 16-bit transparent D-type latch with 3-state outputs from Texas Instruments. This integrated circuit is designed to provide a high-speed, low-power solution for storage and interface applications within your digital systems. It operates on a 3.3V supply, making it suitable for interfacing with low-voltage microprocessors and microcontrollers in modern digital circuitry.

Constructed with an advanced LVC (Low-Voltage CMOS) process, the SN74LVC16373ADLRG4 offers robust and reliable performance. The device features a wide operating voltage range from 1.65V to 3.6V, which enables it to support mixed-voltage system integration without compromising speed or power consumption. This flexibility is particularly beneficial in battery-operated, portable devices where power efficiency is critical.

The transparent latches of the SN74LVC16373ADLRG4 allow data at the inputs to be transferred to the outputs when the latch-enable (LE) input is high. Data is retained when LE is low, providing a stable output state. The OE (Output Enable) bar input controls the 3-state outputs, allowing the outputs to be placed in a high-impedance state. This feature is crucial for bus-oriented applications where multiple devices need to share data lines without interference.

Encased in a surface-mount, 48-pin SSOP (Shrink Small-Outline Package), the SN74LVC16373ADLRG4 is designed for space-constrained applications. Its small footprint and slim profile make it ideal for densely packed PCBs (Printed Circuit Boards) where real estate is at a premium.

Key features of the SN74LVC16373ADLRG4 include:

• 16-bit transparent D-type latches with 3-state outputs.
• Wide operating voltage range (1.65V to 3.6V).
• Low power consumption with a high-speed operation.
• Input and output interface capability to systems at 5V supply.
• Bus hold on data inputs to eliminate the need for external pull-up/pull-down resistors.
• Support for live insertion and extraction without power glitch.
• SSOP-48 packaging suitable for automated assembly processes.

The SN74LVC16373ADLRG4 is an excellent choice for designers looking for a reliable, high-speed latch that minimizes power draw and maximizes data integrity in their digital systems.
