74ACT16373SSCX

Latches Overview

The Fairchild Semiconductor 74ACT16373SSCX is a 16-bit transparent latch featuring 3-STATE outputs, designed for bus-oriented applications. It operates within the ACT logic series and utilizes CMOS technology. The device is housed in a 48-pin SSOP package with a shrink pitch of 0.3 inches. It includes separate control logic for each byte, allowing independent operation of two 8-bit sections. The component supports positive edge-triggered data latching when the Latch Enable signal is active.

Latches Feature Summary

• Contains sixteen non-inverting latches with 3-STATE outputs suitable for bus-oriented applications
• Features separate control logic for each byte to enable independent 8-bit section management
• Provides high impedance glitch-free bus loading during power up and power down cycles

Latches Applications

• Bus-oriented data storage systems
• Byte-controlled memory interfaces
• High impedance bus buffering

Latches Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'SSCX' against official Fairchild documentation to confirm the exact package type and tape-and-reel specifications. Ensure the ordering information matches the required pin count and lead finish. Cross-reference the manufacturer's current datasheet revision to confirm availability and compliance status before procurement.

Latches Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring 16-bit parallel data storage with tri-state output capability. It serves as the 16-bit variant of the 8-bit ACT373. Consider the SSOP package constraints for board space. Verify voltage levels and timing requirements against system specifications to ensure compatibility with the ACT series performance characteristics.

Latches Part Context

This part belongs to the Fairchild 74ACT family of advanced CMOS logic devices. It is functionally related to the 74ABT16373 and 74ACT16373, sharing similar latch functionality but differing in speed and drive characteristics. The device is intended for high-speed digital applications requiring reliable data retention and bus isolation.

Latches Replacement Considerations

The 74ABT16373 is a documented alternative offering similar 16-bit latch functionality with 3-STATE outputs. Verify electrical parameters and package dimensions before substitution.
