This 16-bit transparent D-type latch is designed for 1.65-V to 3.6-V VCC operation. The SN74ALVCH162373 is particularly suitable for implementing buffer registers, I/O ports, bidirectional bus drivers, and working registers. This device 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.
FEATURES
• Member of the Texas Instruments Widebus™ Family
• Bus Hold on Data Inputs Eliminates the Need for External Pullup/Pulldown Resistors
• Output Ports Have Equivalent 26-Ω Series Resistors, So No External Resistors Are Required
