Product details
Overview
74ALVCH16373TTR from STMicroelectronics is a 16-bit non-inverting D-type transparent latch with 3-state outputs, 3.6V-tolerant I/O, bus-hold inputs, and dual independent latch/output-enable controls (1LE/2LE, 1OE/2OE). It operates from 1.65V to 3.6V, delivers 3.6 ns max propagation delay at 3.0–3.6V, and drives ±24 mA outputs - ideal for low-voltage memory address/data bus interfacing in industrial control backplanes.
For engineers reviewing the 74ALVCH16373TTR datasheet, 74ALVCH16373TTR pinout, 74ALVCH16373TTR application, or 74ALVCH16373TTR equivalent, key selection criteria include 3.6V I/O tolerance, symmetric output drive strength across voltage rails, bus-hold functionality for floating input immunity, and TSSOP-48 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device implements two independent 8-bit latch sections (1D0–1D7/1Q0–1Q7 and 2D0–2D7/2Q0–2Q7), each controlled by dedicated active-low latch enable (nLE) and active-low output enable (nOE) signals. Latching occurs on the falling edge of nLE; outputs enter high-impedance state when nOE is high.
Bus-hold circuitry actively maintains valid logic levels on undriven data inputs without external pull-ups; all I/O pins feature 3.6V tolerance regardless of VCC (1.65–3.6V), enabling mixed-voltage system interfacing. ESD protection exceeds 2 kV HBM and 200 V MM per MIL-STD-883.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 1.65 V to 3.6 V - supports single-supply operation across 1.8V, 2.5V, and 3.3V logic domains |
| tPD (max) | 3.6 ns at VCC = 3.0–3.6V - enables >200 MHz bus timing margins in high-speed address latching |
| IOL / IOH (min) | ±24 mA at VCC = 3.0V - drives heavy capacitive loads (e.g., 10+ CMOS inputs) without signal degradation |
| IOH = IOL Symmetry | Matched drive strength ensures consistent rise/fall times and reduced signal skew on bidirectional buses |
| Input Tolerance | 3.6 V tolerant inputs/outputs - allows direct connection to 3.3V or 3.6V peripherals while powered from 1.8V |
| Bus-Hold Current | ±75 µA at VCC = 3.0V - eliminates need for external pull resistors on unused data lines |
| ESD Rating | HBM > 2000 V - meets industrial handling requirements without additional board-level protection |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-48 package (4.4 mm × 12.5 mm body, 0.5 mm pitch), thermally enhanced for high-density routing and reflow compatibility.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 24 | 1OE, 2OE | Active-low 3-state output enable for respective 8-bit sections - decouples latch outputs from bus during arbitration |
| 48, 25 | 1LE, 2LE | Active-low latch enable - captures data on falling edge; enables transparent mode when high |
| 2–3, 5–6, 8–9, 11–12, 37–38, 40–41, 43–44, 46–47 | 1Q0–1Q7, 2Q0–2Q7 | Non-inverting 3-state outputs - provide bidirectional bus isolation with matched drive capability |
| 37–47, 26–36, 48, 25, 1, 24, 4, 10, 15, 21, 28, 34, 39, 45, 7, 18, 31, 42 | Data Inputs, GND, VCC | 16 data inputs (1D0–1D7, 2D0–2D7), 8 GND, 4 VCC - distributed power/ground pins minimize switching noise |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 3.6V-tolerant I/O | Enables interoperability between 1.65V–3.6V logic domains without level shifters |
| Dual independent latch sections | Allows asynchronous capture of two 8-bit data streams (e.g., upper/lower address bytes) with separate timing control |
| Integrated bus-hold | Prevents floating inputs from causing metastability or excessive current draw in unconnected or tri-stated states |
| Symmetric output drive | Ensures equal rise/fall times and predictable timing margins under varying load conditions |
| Latch-up immunity >300 mA | Guarantees robust operation in noisy industrial environments with transient voltage spikes |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit transparent latch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ALVTH16373DGGR | TI part with identical pinout, same 1.65–3.6V range, but higher drive (±32 mA) and no bus-hold | Requires external pull resistors on unused inputs; better suited for high-fanout, low-noise test systems | Select when maximum output drive is critical and board space permits external biasing components |
| 74LVC16373APAG | IDT part in TSSOP-48, 1.65–3.6V, includes bus-hold, but slower tPD = 5.2 ns (max) at 3.3V | Lower speed margin; suitable for cost-sensitive consumer-grade interfaces where <100 MHz timing suffices | Select for price-sensitive designs where 3.6 ns timing is not required and bus-hold remains essential |
Compared with SN74ALVTH16373DGGR and 74LVC16373APAG, the 74ALVCH16373TTR uniquely balances 3.6 ns speed, integrated bus-hold, and 3.6V I/O tolerance in a single STMicroelectronics device - making it optimal for industrial backplanes requiring both robustness and timing precision.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the 74ALVCH16373TTR?
The 74ALVCH16373TTR is rated for operation from –55°C to +125°C, validated per JEDEC JESD78 and qualified for extended industrial environments. This range is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Recommended Operating Conditions tables of the official STMicroelectronics datasheet (Rev 3, February 2003), with full DC and AC specifications guaranteed across the entire span.
Does the 74ALVCH16373TTR require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on its data inputs?
No - the device integrates active bus-hold circuitry on all data inputs (1D0–1D7, 2D0–2D7), maintaining valid logic states without external resistors. Bus-hold current is specified as ±75 µA at VCC = 3.0V, eliminating floating-input risks in unconnected or tri-stated configurations per the DC Specifications table (page 4).
Can the 74ALVCH16373TTR be used with a 1.8V supply while interfacing to a 3.3V microcontroller?
Yes - all inputs and outputs are 3.6V tolerant, allowing safe connection to 3.3V peripherals even when VCC = 1.8V. The device meets VIH/VIL thresholds at 1.8V (VIH = 0.65×VCC = 1.17V min; VIL = 0.35×VCC = 0.63V max), and VOH/VOL remain compatible per DC specs (page 4), enabling direct interoperation without level-shifting circuitry.
How does the dual latch-enable architecture improve system timing flexibility?
The independent 1LE and 2LE inputs allow asynchronous latching of two 8-bit data groups - for example, capturing upper and lower address bytes at different clock phases. This avoids pipeline stalls in multi-cycle memory accesses and reduces timing constraints on shared control signals, as verified in the Truth Table and Logic Diagram (pages 2–3) where LE transitions directly govern Q-state updates without clock dependency.
