74LVT16373MEA

Latches Overview

The Fairchild Semiconductor 74LVT16373MEA is a low-voltage 16-bit transparent D-type latch featuring three-state outputs. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2.7 V to 3.6 V and supports an output drive current of -32 mA. The device exhibits propagation delays of 4.3 ns at 2.7 V and 3.9 ns at 3.3 V, with a maximum static current of 5 mA. Designed for surface-mount applications, it utilizes an SSOP-48 package and functions reliably across an operating temperature range from -40 °C to +85 °C.

Latches Feature Summary

• Provides sixteen non-inverting latches with three-state outputs for bus-oriented applications
• Supports mixed 3.3 V and 5 V system environments through compatible input/output characteristics
• Features separate control logic for each byte to facilitate efficient data management

Latches Applications

• Bus-oriented data storage in high-speed digital systems
• Interface circuits connecting 3.3 V and 5 V logic domains
• Byte-controlled memory buffering in communication modules

Latches Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer designation as the component is historically associated with Fairchild Semiconductor, now part of onsemi. Confirm the exact suffix 'MEA' against official datasheets to ensure correct package and tape-and-reel specifications. Check current lifecycle status, as this part may be discontinued or superseded by newer equivalents. Validate RoHS compliance and moisture sensitivity levels before integration into production workflows.

Latches Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring 16-bit parallel data latching with tri-state capability. Ensure the operating voltage aligns with the 2.7 V to 3.6 V specification. Consider the SSOP-48 package constraints for PCB layout. Verify that the propagation delay meets the timing requirements of the target application. Evaluate thermal performance within the specified temperature range.
