The IC component 74LVC16373AX4PA is a 16-bit transparent latch with 3-state outputs. It is a part of the 74LVC series of integrated circuits manufactured by various semiconductor companies like Texas Instruments, NXP, and ON Semiconductor. This latch is commonly used in digital systems to temporarily store and control data.
Key Features of the 74LVC16373AX4PA include:
1. 16-bit Latch: The component consists of 16 individual latch circuits, each capable of storing a single bit of data.
2. Transparent Inputs: The latch has transparent data inputs (D0-D15) that allow data to pass through to the outputs when the latch enable input (LE) is high. When LE is low, the data inputs are ignored and the previous data stored in the latch is maintained.
3. 3-State Outputs: The latch offers 3-state outputs (Q0-Q15) that can be enabled or disabled using the output enable input (OE). When OE is low, the outputs are actively driven based on the input data. When OE is high, the outputs are in high-impedance state, effectively disconnecting them from the rest of the circuitry.
4. Voltage Compatibility: The 74LVC16373AX4PA is designed to be compatible with both 3.3V and 5V logic voltage systems. It can operate within a voltage range of 2
