Product Overview: SN74LVTH162373DL

The SN74LVTH162373DL from Texas Instruments is a high-performance, low-voltage 16-bit transparent D-type latch with 3-state outputs. Designed to operate from a 3.3V power supply, this device is optimized for low-voltage applications, making it suitable for interfacing with 5V systems. It boasts a significant feature of bus hold on data inputs, which eliminates the need for external pull-up or pull-down resistors, simplifying the design and reducing component count.

Key Features:

• Technology: The SN74LVTH162373DL is built on an advanced BiCMOS technology, which combines the speed of CMOS with the low power consumption and high noise immunity of bipolar transistors.
• Logic Type: It is a transparent D-type latch, meaning that while the latch-enable (LE) input is high, the Q outputs follow the data (D) inputs. When LE is taken low, the Q outputs are latched at the levels set up at the D inputs.
• Output Type: 3-state outputs, which include a disable feature that allows the outputs to be placed in a high-impedance state. This is particularly useful in bus-oriented applications.
• Supply Voltage Range: Operates from 2.7V to 3.6V, making it compatible with 3.3V systems and tolerant to 5V signals.
• Drive Capability: The device can drive up to 48mA at the outputs, providing good signal strength for connected devices.
• Package: The SN74LVTH162373DL comes in a 48-pin SSOP (Shrink Small Outline Package), which is well-suited for space-constrained applications.

Applications:

The SN74LVTH162373DL is ideal for a wide range of applications, such as:

• Memory address latching
• Data multiplexing
• System control
• Bus interfacing in servers, networking, and telecommunications
• Industrial controls

With its robust design and advanced features, the SN74LVTH162373DL from Texas Instruments is a reliable choice for designers looking to improve signal integrity and maintain low power consumption in their digital systems.
