This 16-bit transparent D-type latch is designed for 3.3-V VCC operation; it is tested at 2.5-V, 2.7-V, and 3.3-V VCC.
The SN74ALVC16373 is particularly suitable for implementing buffer registers, I/O ports bidirectional bus drivers, and working registers. It can be used as two 8-bit latches or one 16-bit latch. When 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.
A buffered output-enable
input
can be used to place the eight outputs in either a normal logic state
(high-or low-logic levels) or a high-impedance state. In the
high-impedance state, the outputs neither load nor drive the bus
lines significantly. The high-impedance state and the increased drive
provide the capability to drive bus lines without need for interface
or pullup components.
does
not affect internal operations of the latch. Old data can be retained
or new data can be entered while the outputs are in the
high-impedance state.
Active bus-hold circuitry is provided to hold unused or floating data inputs at a valid logic level.
The SN74ALVC16373 is available in TI's shrink small-outline (DL) and thin shrink small-outline (DGG) packages, which provide twice the I/O pin count and functionality of standard small-outline packages in the same printed-circuit-board area.
The SN74ALVC16373 is characterized for operation from -40°C to 85°C.
