Product details
Overview
74VCXH16373TTR from STMicroelectronics is a low-voltage CMOS 16-bit D-type transparent latch with non-inverting 3-state outputs, 3.6V-tolerant I/O, bus hold on all data inputs, and dual independent latch/output enable controls. It operates from 2.3V to 3.6V, delivers 3.0 ns max propagation delay at 3.0–3.6V, and supports 24 mA output drive at VCC = 3.0V - ideal for high-speed memory address/data latching in portable 2.5V/3.3V systems.
For engineers reviewing the 74VCXH16373TTR datasheet, 74VCXH16373TTR pinout, 74VCXH16373TTR application, or 74VCXH16373TTR equivalent, key selection criteria include 3.6V I/O tolerance for mixed-voltage interfacing, symmetrical ±24 mA drive capability, latch-enable timing margins (1.5 ns setup/hold), bus-hold elimination of external biasing, and TSSOP-48 thermal and routing constraints.
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 3-state output enable (1OE/2OE). Latching occurs synchronously on LE falling edge, while OE independently places outputs in high-impedance state without affecting internal latch state.
Its sub-micron C2MOS process enables rail-to-rail 3.6V-tolerant I/O operation across 2.3V–3.6V supply, with integrated bus-hold circuitry maintaining valid logic levels on floating data inputs (±75 µA hold current at 3.0V), and ESD protection exceeding 2 kV HBM per IEC 61000-4-2.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Operating Range | 2.3 V to 3.6 V - supports dual-supply domains and battery-backed 2.5V/3.3V logic interfaces |
| tPD (Max) | 3.0 ns at VCC = 3.0–3.6V - enables >300 MHz latch-to-latch timing in high-speed address/data paths |
| IOL / IOH (Min) | ±24 mA at VCC = 3.0V - drives 50 Ω transmission lines or multiple CMOS loads without buffering |
| Input Tolerance | 3.6V tolerant - allows direct connection to 3.3V or 3.6V buses without level shifters |
| Bus Hold Current | ±75 µA at VI = 0.8V/2.0V (VCC = 3.0V) - eliminates need for external pull-up/down resistors on data lines |
| ESD Rating | HBM > 2000 V - meets industrial handling requirements without additional board-level protection |
| Operating Temp | −55 °C to +125 °C - qualified for extended-temperature automotive and industrial control applications |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-48 package (4.4 mm width, 12.6 mm length, 1.2 mm height), lead pitch 0.5 mm, JEDEC MO-153 compliant, with exposed thermal pad not electrically connected.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 24 | 1OE, 2OE | Active-low 3-state output enable - disables Q outputs to high-Z independently per 8-bit section |
| 48, 25 | 1LE, 2LE | Active-low latch enable - captures D-inputs on falling edge; holds Q during LE high |
| 37–47, 26–36 | 1D0–1D7, 2D0–2D7 | Data inputs with integrated bus-hold - retain last valid logic state when un-driven |
| 2–3, 5–6, 8–9, 11–12, 13–14, 16–17, 19–20, 22–23 | 1Q0–1Q7, 2Q0–2Q7 | Non-inverting 3-state outputs - driven low/high or tri-stated based on OE and LE states |
| 4, 10, 15, 21, 28, 34, 39, 45 | GND | Eight ground pins - reduce simultaneous switching noise and improve signal integrity |
| 7, 18, 31, 42 | VCC | Four power supply pins - lower IR drop and enhance transient current delivery |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 3.6V-tolerant I/O | Accepts and drives up to 3.6V signals while powered from 2.3V–3.6V - enables seamless interoperation with legacy 3.3V peripherals |
| Symmetrical ±24 mA drive | Equal sourcing/sinking capability at 3.0V - ensures matched rise/fall times and reduced signal skew on bidirectional buses |
| Dual independent latch sections | Separate 1LE/2LE and 1OE/2OE controls - allows staggered latching and selective output gating within single package |
| Integrated bus-hold | Eliminates external bias resistors on all 16 data inputs - reduces BOM count and PCB area in space-constrained designs |
| Latch-up immunity >300 mA | Complies with JESD17 Class II - ensures robustness against transient overvoltage events in noisy industrial environments |
Applications
| Memory Address Latching | High-Speed Data Bus Isolation |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Holding multiplexed address lines during DRAM/Flash access cycles in portable embedded controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Transparent latch capturing address bits on LE falling edge; outputs held stable during memory read/write windows. Use Value: Enables use of single 16-bit bus for both address and data, reducing pin count and PCB trace count without timing penalty. | Use Scenario: Isolating processor data bus from peripheral subsystems (e.g., ADC, FPGA, sensor hub) during inactive phases. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: 3-state buffer controlled by OE to prevent bus contention; latch function retains last data value during isolation. Use Value: Eliminates need for separate latch + tristate buffer ICs - cuts component count and interconnect delay in multi-peripheral systems. |
| Low-Voltage Industrial PLC I/O Expansion | Battery-Powered Test Equipment Signal Conditioning |
Use Scenario: Interfacing 2.5V microcontroller GPIOs to 3.3V industrial I/O modules (digital input cards, relay drivers). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Level-translating latch with bus-hold - maintains valid logic state during hot-swap or module insertion/removal. Use Value: Prevents floating inputs and spurious toggling during field maintenance, improving system reliability without external pull resistors. | Use Scenario: Capturing analog front-end digitized samples before transfer to low-power sleep-mode MCU core. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-power (20 µA ICC) latch holding sampled data while CPU enters deep sleep; 3-state outputs isolate during acquisition. Use Value: Reduces active power consumption by >90% vs. continuous bus driving - extends battery life in handheld test gear. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC16373ADGGR | Lower drive (±24 mA only at VCC = 3.3V); no bus-hold; 1.65–3.6V range | Requires external pull resistors; less robust in floating-bus scenarios | Select if cost sensitivity outweighs bus-hold benefit and 3.6V tolerance is unnecessary |
| 74ALVCH16373TTR | Higher speed (tPD = 2.5 ns typ); same 3.6V tolerance and bus-hold; 2.3–3.6V range | Marginally better timing closure in >400 MHz systems; identical pinout and footprint | Select for maximum timing margin in high-frequency address/data capture where propagation skew matters |
Compared with SN74LVC16373ADGGR, the 74VCXH16373TTR adds bus-hold and stronger 3.6V tolerance; versus 74ALVCH16373TTR, it trades 0.5 ns typical speed for broader voltage stability and identical thermal profile in TSSOP-48.

FAQ
What is the minimum VCC required for guaranteed bus-hold operation?
Bus-hold functionality is fully specified at VCC ≥ 2.3 V. At 2.3 V, input hold current is ±45 µA (VI = 0.7 V or 1.7 V), sufficient to maintain valid logic states on un-driven inputs without external biasing - verified per datasheet Section 5 DC specs for 2.3–2.7 V range.
Can 74VCXH16373TTR safely interface with a 5V microcontroller's GPIO?
No - absolute maximum input voltage is +4.6 V, but 3.6V tolerance applies only when VCC is powered. Applying 5V to inputs while VCC = 2.3–3.6V violates VO < VCC + 0.5 V limit and risks damage. A level shifter is required for 5V host interfacing.
How does the dual OE/LE architecture improve system timing control?
Independent 1OE/2OE and 1LE/2LE pins allow asynchronous latching and output gating per 8-bit bank - e.g., latch address bits with 1LE while holding data stable with 2LE, then gate outputs selectively via OE to avoid bus contention during multi-cycle transfers.
Is thermal pad on TSSOP-48 package electrically connected or recommended for grounding?
The thermal pad is not electrically connected to any internal node per STMicroelectronics mechanical drawing 7065588C. It may be left floating or soldered to a non-connected copper pour for thermal relief; grounding is not required and introduces no electrical benefit.
