74LCX16373MEAX

Latches Overview

The Fairchild Semiconductor 74LCX16373MEAX is a 16-bit transparent D-type latch featuring three-state outputs, designed for bus-oriented applications within the LCX logic family. It operates with a supply voltage range of 1.0V to 3.6V and utilizes a 52-pin TSSOP package (MO-219). The device incorporates byte control logic, allowing independent management of data latching for high-density system designs while maintaining low power consumption characteristics typical of CMOS technology.

Latches Feature Summary

• Provides sixteen non-inverting transparent latches with three-state outputs for efficient bus management
• Features separate control logic for each byte to facilitate complex data handling in parallel architectures
• Ensures high impedance glitch-free bus loading throughout the entire power-up and power-down cycle

Latches Applications

• Bus-oriented memory systems requiring byte-controlled data storage
• High-density digital logic circuits utilizing parallel data buses
• Portable electronic devices operating on low-voltage power supplies

Latches Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix MEAX against official datasheets to confirm the tape-and-reel packaging configuration and moisture sensitivity level. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB footprint for the 52-pin TSSOP variant. Cross-reference RoHS compliance status with current manufacturing records to guarantee adherence to environmental regulations for the intended deployment region.

Latches Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems that require 16-bit data latching with byte-level control capabilities. It is suitable for applications demanding low voltage operation between 1.0V and 3.6V. Consider the 52-pin TSSOP package constraints regarding board space and thermal dissipation requirements compared to alternative pin-count options.
