CY74FCT162373ETPVC

Latches Overview

The CY74FCT162373ETPVC is a CMOS bus driver and D-type transparent latch from the FCT series, manufactured by Cypress Semiconductor Corp. It features two independent functions with an 8-bit width per channel, housed in a 48-pin SSOP package. The device provides tri-state outputs and operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V. It supports a wide operating temperature range from -40°C to 85°C and exhibits a propagation delay of approximately 5.2 ns.

Latches Feature Summary

• Dual-channel architecture supporting two independent 8-bit functions
• D-type transparent latch functionality with true output polarity
• Tri-state output capability for efficient bus management
• CMOS construction ensuring low power consumption

Latches Applications

• High-speed data bus buffering in computer systems
• Memory interface circuits requiring latching capabilities
• Portable equipment with strict power constraints
• Communication systems utilizing parallel data transmission

Latches Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity due to potential obsolescence or replacement status. Confirm package integrity upon receipt, as SSOP pins are sensitive to handling damage. Ensure compatibility with existing board layouts regarding pin assignments and thermal requirements. Check for updated RoHS compliance documentation if required for specific regulatory environments.

Latches Selection Notes

Select this component when dual 8-bit latching with tri-state control is required in a compact surface-mount package. Consider the 5.2 ns propagation delay for timing-sensitive applications. Evaluate the 48-SSOP footprint against available PCB space. Verify that the 4.5V to 5.5V supply range aligns with the system's power design constraints.

Latches Part Context

This part belongs to the FCT (Fast CMOS Technology) series, designed for high-speed digital applications. Cypress Semiconductor, now part of Infineon Technologies, produced this line for robust performance in consumer and industrial electronics. The ETPVC suffix indicates specific packaging and temperature grade variations within the standard product family.

Latches Replacement Considerations

Check for official manufacturer recommendations such as SN74ALVCH162373LR. Verify pin-to-pin compatibility and electrical parameter equivalence before substitution. Review datasheets for any functional differences in latch transparency or drive strength.
