Product Overview: SN74LVT16373ADGGR

The SN74LVT16373ADGGR is a high-performance integrated circuit designed and manufactured by Texas Instruments, a leader in the semiconductor industry. This product is part of the SN74LVT family, known for its low-voltage operation and tolerance to mixed-voltage system environments.

The SN74LVT16373ADGGR is a 16-bit transparent D-type latch with 3-state outputs. It is designed for 3.3V VCC operation but has 5V tolerant I/Os, which allows it to be used in mixed-voltage system designs. This feature is particularly important for interfacing with legacy 5V systems while maintaining a lower power operation at 3.3V, thus supporting both current and future technology needs.

Key Features:

• Logic Type: 16-Bit Transparent D-Type Latch
• Output Type: 3-State
• Operating Voltage: 3.3V
• I/O Voltage Tolerance: 5V Tolerant
• Package: 48-TSSOP (Thin Shrink Small Outline Package)
• Data Flow Direction: Non-Inverting
• Propagation Delay Time: Fast propagation to meet high-speed requirements
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to 85°C

The device features a bus-hold circuitry which is designed to retain the last active data inputs when control inputs are inactive, thus eliminating the need for external pull-up or pull-down resistors. This reduces board space and system costs, making it an efficient solution for various applications.

Applications for the SN74LVT16373ADGGR include memory address latching, data multiplexing, and as a general-purpose latch for a wide range of computing, telecommunications, and consumer electronics. Its robust design ensures reliable operation in extended temperature ranges, making it suitable for industrial and automotive applications as well.

With its combination of power efficiency, 5V tolerance, and high-speed data handling, the SN74LVT16373ADGGR from Texas Instruments is an ideal choice for designers looking for a flexible and reliable solution for their digital logic needs.
