Texas Instruments SN74LVC16373 16-Bit Transparent D-Type Latch With 3-State Outputs SN74LVC16373DL

The SN74LVC16373 is a 16-bit transparent D-type latch designed for operation with a supply voltage range of 2.7 V to 3.6 V. It features three-state outputs, allowing for flexible data handling in various applications such as buffer registers, I/O ports, and bidirectional bus drivers. The device can function as either two 8-bit latches or one 16-bit latch, with the latch-enable (LE) input controlling the data flow to the outputs. When LE is high, the outputs follow the data inputs; when low, the outputs retain their last state. This latch includes a buffered output-enable (OE) input that places the outputs in a high-impedance state, facilitating bus line management without additional interface components. The device is characterized for operation across a temperature range of -40°C to 85°C and incorporates active bus-hold circuitry to maintain valid logic levels on unused or floating inputs. The SN74LVC16373 is available in a 48-pin SSOP package, making it suitable for space-constrained applications.
