CLVTH16373MGQLREP

Latches Overview

The CLVTH16373MGQLREP is a 16-bit transparent D-type latch manufactured by Texas Instruments, belonging to the SN74LVTH16373-EP series. It features two independent circuits with tri-state outputs and operates within a supply voltage range of 2.7V to 3.6V. The device provides high drive capability with output currents of 32mA for high state and 64mA for low state. Propagation delay is specified at 2.9ns. It is housed in a 56-BGA Microstar Junior package (7x4.5mm) and supports surface mount installation. The component functions reliably across an extended temperature range from -55°C to +125°C.

Latches Feature Summary

• Transparent latching architecture with tri-state output control
• High-drive current capability for robust signal transmission
• Extended industrial temperature rating for harsh environments
• Compact Microstar Junior BGA packaging for space-constrained designs

Latches Applications

• Data bus buffering in embedded systems
• Memory interface circuitry
• Industrial control logic
• Automotive electronics applications

Latches Procurement Notes

This component is officially classified as obsolete and no longer in production by Texas Instruments. Verification of availability should focus on surplus or secondary market sources rather than direct manufacturer distribution. Buyers must confirm the authenticity of the part number and check for potential RoHS compliance discrepancies, as the source data indicates non-compliance. Ensure that any replacement strategy accounts for the end-of-life status and potential long-term supply constraints.

Latches Selection Notes

Engineers selecting this part should consider its specific LVTH technology characteristics and the 56-pin BGA footprint requirements. The device is designed for 3.3V operation with significant drive strength, making it suitable for driving heavy loads on data buses. Due to its obsolete status, alternative selection should prioritize components with similar pinouts and electrical specifications from active product lines to ensure long-term manufacturability and support.

Latches Part Context

The CLVTH16373MGQLREP is part of the SN74LVTH16373-EP family, which represents enhanced performance variants of standard logic latches. This series is characterized by its low voltage tolerance and high-speed operation. The 'EP' designation often implies specific qualification standards, though detailed military or aerospace certifications are not explicitly confirmed in the provided text. It serves as a specialized solution for 16-bit parallel data storage in compact form factors.

Latches Replacement Considerations

Texas Instruments lists the 74LVC16373ADGGRG4 as a potential substitute. However, engineers must verify compatibility regarding package type, as the LVC variant uses TSSOP-48 compared to the MGQLREP's BGA-56. Electrical differences in supply voltage ranges and propagation delays should also be evaluated to ensure functional equivalence in the target application.
