Latches Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer origin carefully, as this component was originally produced by Fairchild Semiconductor, which is now part of onsemi. Confirm RoHS compliance status and check for available alternatives from current manufacturers if new production units are required. Ensure the specific package variant matches your PCB footprint requirements.

Latches Selection Notes

Select this component when designing low-power digital circuits requiring 16-bit data storage. It is suitable for systems operating below 3.6V where speed and drive strength are critical. Consider the 48-TSSOP package constraints during layout. Evaluate thermal dissipation needs given the 24mA output capability and ensure voltage levels match the system's logic family.

Latches Part Context

This device belongs to the ALVC (Advanced Low-Voltage CMOS) series, designed for high-speed, low-power applications. It serves as a key component in data bus architectures, providing temporary storage and buffering capabilities. The 16-bit configuration allows for parallel data handling, making it essential for wide-bus interfaces in modern electronic designs.

Latches Replacement Considerations

Consider the SN74ALVCH162373LR from Texas Instruments as a recommended replacement. Verify pin compatibility and electrical specifications before substitution.
