74LVT16373MEAX

Latches Overview

The Fairchild Semiconductor 74LVT16373MEAX is a 16-bit transparent D-type latch featuring 3-state outputs, designed for bus-oriented applications. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2.7 V to 3.6 V and supports propagation delays of 4.3 ns at 2.7 V and 3.9 ns at 3.3 V. The device provides high-level output current capability of -32 mA and functions across an operating temperature range from -40 °C to +85 °C. Packaged in SSOP-48, it integrates two octal latches with separate control logic.

Latches Feature Summary

• Transparent data storage with 3-state outputs for bus-oriented systems
• Separate control logic for each byte enabling independent octal operation
• High-speed BiCMOS technology ensuring low power dissipation

Latches Applications

• Bus-oriented memory mapping applications
• Registering and buffering digital data signals
• Interface circuits between microprocessors and peripheral devices

Latches Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or direct manufacturer channels due to the part's discontinued status. Confirm RoHS compliance details and check for valid replacement options from onsemi or Nexperia if sourcing new inventory is required. Ensure the SSOP-48 package matches design specifications before procurement.

Latches Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring 16-bit latching with 3-state bus isolation in low-voltage environments. Verify that the 2.7 V to 3.6 V supply range aligns with system power rails. Consider the SSOP-48 footprint for PCB layout constraints and ensure thermal management supports the specified operating temperature range.

Latches Part Context

This component belongs to the 74LVT logic family, characterized by low-voltage operation and compatibility with 3.3 V systems. It serves as a standard solution for registering data in high-density digital circuits. The MEAX suffix typically denotes specific packaging and tape-and-reel configurations for automated assembly processes.

Latches Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers include 74LVT16373ADL from Nexperia.
