The 74LVCH162374AX4PV is an integrated circuit (IC) component that belongs to the 74LVCH logic family. This particular IC is a 16-bit buffer/driver that features non-inverting outputs and 3-state outputs. It is designed to operate at a voltage supply range of 1.65V to 3.6V, making it compatible with both low and high voltage systems.
One of the key features of the 74LVCH162374AX4PV is its symmetric outputs, meaning that each output has the same source and sink capability, making it suitable for driving both low and high loads. This ensures reliable signal transmission without causing any distortion or signal corruption.
Another notable feature is its 3-state output capability. 3-state outputs allow the IC to isolate its outputs from the rest of the system, enabling greater flexibility in connecting multiple devices on a shared bus. This feature is particularly useful when multiple components need to drive a common bus, as the outputs can be enabled or disabled as needed.
The 74LVCH162374AX4PV also incorporates a power-down mode, which allows the device to consume minimal power when it is not actively driving outputs. This feature helps conserve power and extend battery life in portable applications.
Furthermore, the IC is equipped with ESD (electrostatic discharge) protection, offering a level of immunity against electrostatic discharges that can potentially damage the circuitry
