74VCX162373MTDX

Latches Overview

The Fairchild Semiconductor 74VCX162373MTDX is a low-voltage 16-bit transparent latch featuring 3.6V tolerant inputs and outputs, designed for bus-oriented applications with byte control. It operates within a supply voltage range of 1.4V to 3.6V and utilizes a TSSOP-48 package. The device provides tri-state outputs and incorporates 26Ω series resistors to minimize signal reflections. Key electrical characteristics include a propagation delay of approximately 1ns and an operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.

Latches Feature Summary

• Features 3.6V tolerant inputs and outputs for mixed-voltage system compatibility
• Incorporates 26Ω series output resistors to reduce signal ringing
• Provides byte-controlled operation for efficient data handling

Latches Applications

• Bus-oriented memory interface circuits
• Mixed-voltage logic level translation systems
• High-speed data buffering applications

Latches Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'MTDX' against official onsemi/Fairchild documentation to confirm tape-and-reel packaging specifications. Ensure the component meets RoHS compliance requirements for your target market. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with current onsemi catalogs as Fairchild Semiconductor assets have been acquired. Confirm availability status directly with authorized distributors as this component may be subject to lifecycle changes.

Latches Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring 16-bit latching with 3.6V I/O tolerance in a compact surface-mount package. The integrated series resistors simplify PCB layout by reducing the need for external termination components. Consider the 1.4V minimum supply voltage for low-power portable applications. Verify that the byte-control functionality aligns with the system's data width requirements.

Latches Part Context

This device belongs to the VCX (Crossvolt) family of low-voltage CMOS logic devices. The family is characterized by high speed and low power consumption, suitable for battery-powered applications. The 162373 variant specifically functions as a transparent latch, distinct from flip-flop variants which require clocked edge triggering. The MTDX suffix indicates the specific reel packaging configuration used for automated assembly processes.

Latches Replacement Considerations

Check for direct equivalents such as the 74VCX162373MTCX or other 74VCX162373 variants with different packaging suffixes. Verify pinout compatibility before substitution. Ensure that any replacement maintains the 3.6V tolerance specification and similar propagation delay characteristics.
