Product details
Overview
74VCX16373TTR from STMicroelectronics is a low-voltage CMOS 16-bit D-type transparent latch with non-inverting 3-state outputs, 3.6V-tolerant I/O, propagation delay as low as 3.0 ns (max) at 3.0–3.6 V, ±24 mA output drive at 3.0 V, and operating range of 1.8 V to 3.6 V. It serves as a bidirectional data latching interface in mixed-voltage memory and bus systems.
For engineers reviewing the 74VCX16373TTR datasheet, 74VCX16373TTR pinout, 74VCX16373TTR application, or 74VCX16373TTR equivalent, key selection criteria include voltage tolerance across 1.8–3.6 V operation, symmetrical 24 mA drive capability, latch-enable timing margins (tw = 1.5 ns min), and TSSOP-48 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device implements two independent 8-bit latch sections (1D–1Q and 2D–2Q), each controlled by dedicated active-low latch enable (1LE/2LE) and active-low output enable (1OE/2OE) inputs. Latching occurs on the falling edge of LE; outputs remain transparent while LE is high.
It features full 3.6 V I/O tolerance regardless of VCC, enabling safe interfacing between 1.8 V logic domains and legacy 3.3 V/3.6 V buses. Power-down protection ensures zero current flow and high-impedance isolation when VCC = 0 V, preventing back-driving of powered subsystems.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.8 V to 3.6 V - supports dual-rail system integration without level shifters |
| Max Propagation Delay (D→Q) | 3.0 ns at VCC = 3.0–3.6 V - enables sub-300 MHz latch-to-latch timing in high-speed bus interfaces |
| Output Drive Strength | ±24 mA at VCC = 3.0 V - drives 50 Ω transmission lines or multiple CMOS loads directly |
| I/O Voltage Tolerance | −0.5 V to +4.6 V - allows safe connection to 3.6 V signals even when VCC = 1.8 V |
| Input Leakage Current | ±5 µA max - minimizes static power draw and signal integrity impact in battery-powered systems |
| Operating Temperature | −55 °C to +125 °C - qualified for industrial and automotive under-hood applications |
| ESD Rating (HBM) | >2000 V - meets MIL-STD-883 Method 3015 for robust handling in manufacturing environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit latch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVCH16373A | Lower drive (±24 mA only at 3.3 V); no 1.8 V operation below 2.3 V; 48-pin TSSOP same footprint | Requires minimum 2.3 V VCC; not suitable for true 1.8 V core logic domains | Select if system operates strictly at 2.5–3.3 V and requires TI's LVCMOS characterization |
| 74ALVC16373 | Wider VCC range (1.65–3.6 V); higher ICC (30 µA typ); identical pinout and timing specs | Better 1.65 V compatibility but higher quiescent current; same thermal profile | Choose for ultra-low-voltage margin designs where 1.65 V start-up is required |
Compared with SN74LVCH16373A and 74ALVC16373, the 74VCX16373TTR uniquely guarantees full 1.8 V operation with 24 mA drive and 3.6 V I/O tolerance-critical for heterogeneous voltage domain bridging in modern SoC-based systems.

FAQ
Can the 74VCX16373TTR operate with VCC = 1.8 V while interfacing to 3.6 V signals?
Yes. The device supports full 3.6 V I/O tolerance across its entire 1.8–3.6 V VCC range, verified per absolute maximum ratings (VI = −0.5 V to +4.6 V). Input clamp diodes and oxide-thickness design prevent damage or leakage when VCC = 1.8 V and inputs reach 3.6 V.
What is the minimum latch enable pulse width required for reliable operation at 3.3 V?
The minimum LE pulse width is 1.5 ns at VCC = 3.0–3.6 V, specified over −40 °C to +85 °C. This value is measured under AC test conditions (CL = 30 pF, RL = 500 Ω) and ensures setup/hold timing compliance for sub-300 MHz clock domains.
Does the 74VCX16373TTR support hot insertion when VCC is unpowered?
Yes. Power-down protection ensures all I/O pins enter high-impedance state with leakage <10 µA when VCC = 0 V, preventing back-powering or bus contention. This behavior is validated per JESD78 and confirmed in the "Power Off Leakage Current" specification (Ioff ≤ 10 µA).
How many ground and supply pins does the TSSOP-48 package provide?
The TSSOP-48 package has eight dedicated GND pins (pins 4, 10, 15, 21, 28, 34, 39, 45) and four VCC pins (pins 7, 18, 31, 42), enabling low-inductance power distribution and reduced simultaneous switching noise in high-speed 16-bit bus applications.
