Product Overview: 74LVC162373ADGG by NXP Semiconductors

The 74LVC162373ADGG is a high-performance, low-voltage 16-bit transparent D-type latch with 3-state outputs from NXP Semiconductors. This integrated circuit is designed to be used in applications requiring high-speed data storage and transfer in a digital system. It is part of the LVC family, which stands for Low-Voltage CMOS, indicating that the device operates at a lower power supply while maintaining high-speed operation.

Constructed with an advanced CMOS technology, the 74LVC162373ADGG offers a robust latch function with a wide operating voltage range from 1.2V to 3.6V. This feature makes it compatible with various modern low-voltage logic systems and ensures minimal power consumption, which is critical for battery-operated and power-sensitive applications.

The device features 16 transparent D-type latches with 3-state outputs. The transparent nature of the latches means that while the latch-enable (LE) input is high, the Q outputs will follow the data (D) inputs. When LE is taken low, the data that was present at the D inputs at the time the transition occurred will be retained at the Q outputs until LE is returned high. Additionally, the 3-state outputs allow for direct connection to a bus or data lines, making it easy to interface with microprocessors, microcontrollers, and other logic circuits.

Another significant feature of the 74LVC162373ADGG is its bus-hold circuitry, which maintains the last valid input state when the input becomes floating, thus eliminating the need for external pull-up or pull-down resistors. The device is also equipped with an output enable (OE) input that, when high, disables the outputs by placing them in a high-impedance state. This is useful for preventing bus contention in multiplexed applications.

The 74LVC162373ADGG is offered in a TSSOP48 package, which is a thin shrink small outline package with 48 pins. This compact form factor is suitable for space-constrained applications while still providing enough I/O for complex functions. It is ideal for use in a wide range of applications, including computers, servers, networking, telecommunications, and consumer electronics, where reliable data storage and high-speed data transfer are essential.

With its combination of low-power consumption, high-speed performance, and robust latch function, the 74LVC162373ADGG from NXP Semiconductors is an excellent choice for designers looking to implement efficient and reliable data storage solutions in their digital systems.
