74FCT162373TPA

Latches Overview

The IDT74FCT162373TPA is a high-speed, low-power CMOS transparent latch belonging to the FCT series. It integrates two independent 8-bit D-type latches within a single 48-pin package, functioning as a 16-bit data storage device or dual bus driver. The component utilizes advanced dual metal CMOS technology and features true outputs with three-state capability. Designed for industrial temperature ranges, it provides balanced output drivers suitable for temporary data storage in memory address and I/O port applications.

Latches Feature Summary

• Dual 8-bit architecture enabling implementation as a single 16-bit latch or two separate 8-bit units
• High-speed operation utilizing advanced dual metal CMOS technology
• Three-state outputs providing balanced drive capabilities for system noise reduction

Latches Applications

• Temporary data storage circuits
• Memory address latching systems
• I/O port interface implementations
• Bus driver configurations

Latches Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'TPA' against official manufacturer documentation, as standard datasheets typically list 'AT', 'CT', or 'ET'. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead times directly with authorized distributors, noting that this component family may be subject to end-of-life notices from Renesas Electronics.

Latches Selection Notes

Select this component when a 16-bit transparent latch with three-state outputs is required for high-speed data buffering. Ensure the design supports the specified voltage range and load capacitance. Verify package availability, as the TPA designation implies a specific surface-mount configuration distinct from SSOP variants.

Latches Part Context

This part belongs to the IDT 74FCT162373T family of fast CMOS logic devices. The series was originally developed by Integrated Device Technology and is now managed by Renesas Electronics following corporate acquisitions. These components serve as replacements for older ABT functions in mixed-signal systems requiring high performance and low power consumption.

Latches Replacement Considerations

Consult official substitution guides for equivalents such as the CY74FCT162373 series from Texas Instruments. Verify pin compatibility and electrical characteristics before replacing legacy inventory.
