74LVT16374MEAX

Overview

The 74LVT16374MEAX is a 16-bit D-type flip-flop with 3-state outputs manufactured by Fairchild Semiconductor. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2.7V to 3.6V and supports data rates up to 200MHz. The device features separate control logic for each byte, allowing independent operation of two 8-bit sections. Propagation delays are specified at 4.3ns at 2.7V and 3.9ns at 3.3V. It utilizes an SSOP-48 package and includes power-down protection on all inputs.

Feature Summary

• Provides 16-bit transparent latching capability with 3-state outputs for bus-oriented applications
• Features separate control logic for each byte to enable independent 8-bit section operation
• Includes power-down protection on all inputs to prevent current leakage during low-power states

Applications

• Bus-oriented memory address latching in high-speed digital systems
• Data routing and storage in portable battery-powered devices
• High-density I/O expansion modules requiring byte-selectable control

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation carefully, as the part number prefix may indicate onsemi rather than Fairchild Semiconductor due to corporate acquisition history. Confirm that the MEAX suffix corresponds to the specific SSOP-48 tape-and-reel packaging configuration required for surface-mount assembly processes. Ensure compatibility with the target system's 2.7V to 3.6V operating voltage window before integration.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring 16-bit parallel data storage with independent byte control. It is suitable for applications needing high-speed performance under low-voltage conditions typical of portable electronics. Consider the SSOP-48 package constraints regarding PCB space and thermal dissipation requirements compared to larger footprint alternatives.

Part Context

This device belongs to the LVT logic family, designed for low-voltage operations between 2.7V and 3.6V. It serves as a 16-bit version of standard octal flip-flops, offering enhanced density for modern digital circuits. The technology balances speed and power consumption, making it appropriate for advanced consumer electronics and communication equipment.

Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers include 74LVT16374MTDX and 74LVT16374MTCX. Verify pinout and electrical specifications match exactly before substitution.
