Latches Procurement Notes

Verify the component authenticity through official Fairchild Semiconductor channels or authorized distributors. Confirm the package type matches the SOP-24 specification required for your PCB layout. Ensure the operating voltage range aligns with your system's 2.5V or 3.3V supply rails. Check for any specific handling requirements regarding electrostatic discharge during assembly.

Latches Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring multiple parallel data latches with tri-state control. It is suitable for applications needing direct connection to 5V buses from a lower voltage core. Consider the 10-bit width and tri-state capability as key differentiators over standard 8-bit latches. Ensure the SOP-24 package fits within your mechanical constraints.

Latches Part Context

This part belongs to the LCX series of low-voltage CMOS logic devices. The LCX family is characterized by its compatibility with both 2.5V and 3.3V supplies and its ability to interface with 5V systems. The 74LCX841 specifically addresses the need for wider data paths in portable and battery-operated devices where power efficiency is critical.

Latches Replacement Considerations

Check for equivalent parts from other manufacturers that offer 10-bit transparent latches with tri-state outputs and 5V tolerance. Verify pin compatibility and electrical specifications before substitution. Note that suffixes may indicate packaging variations rather than functional differences.
