Product details
Overview
74VHC16373TTR from STMicroelectronics is a 16-bit non-inverting D-type transparent latch with 3-state outputs, fabricated in sub-micron C2MOS technology. It features dual byte control (two LE and two OE inputs), 2V–5.5V operation, 5.0 ns typical propagation delay at 5V, ±8 mA symmetrical output drive, and input overvoltage tolerance up to 7V - enabling 5V-to-3V interface applications in industrial bus buffering.
For engineers reviewing the 74VHC16373TTR datasheet, 74VHC16373TTR pinout, 74VHC16373TTR application, or 74VHC16373TTR equivalent, key selection criteria include latch enable timing (tw = 5 ns min), output disable skew (tPHZ/tPLZ ≤ 11.5 ns), power-down input protection, and TSSOP-48 package compatibility with legacy 74-series footprint 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 output enable (1OE/2OE) signals. Latching occurs synchronously on LE low transition, while OE controls high-impedance state entry/exit with tPZL/tPZH ≤ 10.5 ns (5V, 50 pF).
Designed for mixed-voltage system interfacing, it supports input voltages from 0 to 7V regardless of VCC, includes 2 kV HBM ESD protection on all I/Os, and maintains balanced tPLH ≈ tPHL propagation delays across temperature (−55°C to +125°C) and supply (2V–5.5V).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Propagation Delay (tPLH/tPHL) | 3.6 ns (typ) at VCC = 5V, CL = 15 pF - enables <20 MHz latch-controlled data capture in high-speed bus systems |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.0 V to 5.5 V - supports direct integration into both 3.3V and 5V logic domains without level shifters |
| Output Drive Strength | ±8 mA (min) at VCC = 4.5V - sustains signal integrity driving ≥10 LSTTL loads or 50 pF traces |
| Input Overvoltage Tolerance | 0 V to 7.0 V - allows safe connection to unpowered or higher-voltage subsystems during hot-swap or power sequencing |
| Quiescent Current (ICC) | 4 µA (max) at 25°C - reduces standby power in battery-backed or always-on industrial controllers |
| ESD Immunity | 2 kV HBM - meets IEC 61000-4-2 Level 2 for robustness in factory automation environments |
| Operating Temperature | −55°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive modules and outdoor telecom equipment |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-48 package (12.6 mm × 8.1 mm × 1.2 mm body height), lead pitch 0.5 mm, compliant with JEDEC MO-153. RoHS-compliant, halogen-free.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 24 | Active-low Output Enable (1OE, 2OE) | Controls high-impedance state for respective 8-bit output bank; enables bus sharing without contention |
| 48, 25 | Active-low Latch Enable (1LE, 2LE) | Transparent latch mode when HIGH; captures D-input state on falling edge to hold data |
| 37–46, 26–35 | Data Inputs (1D0–1D7, 2D0–2D7) | Asynchronous data sources; tolerate 0–7V regardless of VCC for mixed-supply interfacing |
| 2–3, 5–6, 8–9, 11–12, 13–14, 16–17, 19–20, 22–23 | 3-State Outputs (1Q0–1Q7, 2Q0–2Q7) | Non-inverting latched outputs; drive capability symmetric for sourcing/sinking |
| 4, 10, 15, 21, 28, 34, 39, 45 | GND | Dual ground pins per 8-bit section reduce ground bounce in high-speed switching |
| 7, 18, 31, 42 | VCC | Four VCC pins distribute supply current and minimize IR drop across die |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Power-down input protection | Accepts 0–7V on all inputs with VCC = 0V - prevents back-powering and latch-up during partial power-down |
| Symmetrical output impedance | |IOH| = IOL = 8 mA (min) - ensures matched rise/fall times and reduced signal distortion on shared buses |
| Low dynamic noise (VOLP) | 0.9 V (max) at VCC = 5V, CL = 50 pF - limits ground bounce and crosstalk in dense PCB layouts |
| Pin-compatible upgrade path | Direct replacement for 74LS16373 and 74HC16373 - preserves existing PCB layout and firmware logic |
| Enhanced latch-up immunity | Qualified per JESD78 Class II (>200 mA) - resists destructive latch-up during transient overvoltage events |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVCH16373A | Lower VCC range (1.65–3.6V); 3.3V-only optimized; no 7V input tolerance | Restricted to 3.3V-only systems; unsuitable for 5V legacy bus interfacing | Select when operating exclusively in low-voltage domains and requiring lower dynamic power |
| 74ALVC16373 | Faster tPD (2.3 ns typ at 3.3V); higher IOL/IOH (24 mA); no 7V input rating | Better for high-speed memory interfaces but lacks mixed-voltage robustness | Choose for maximum speed in 3.3V systems where input overvoltage risk is absent |
Compared with SN74LVCH16373A and 74ALVC16373, the 74VHC16373TTR uniquely balances wide supply range (2–5.5V), 7V input tolerance, and industrial temperature support - making it the only option for retrofitting legacy 5V buses with modern low-power latching while maintaining fault resilience.

FAQ
Can the 74VHC16373TTR operate with VCC = 2.5V while interfacing to 5V logic inputs?
Yes. Its input voltage tolerance extends to 0–7V independent of VCC, so 5V logic signals may be safely applied even at VCC = 2.5V. However, output swing will be limited to 0–2.5V, requiring external level translation if driving 5V loads.
What is the minimum pulse width required on LE for reliable latching?
The minimum LE high pulse width is 5 ns at VCC = 5V (per AC specs). At 2V, this increases to 15 ns due to slower internal switching. For robust operation across voltage/temperature, maintain ≥10 ns at 2V and ≥6 ns at 5V.
Does the 74VHC16373TTR support hot insertion?
Yes. Power-down protection on all inputs allows the device to remain unpowered while 5V signals are applied. No back-current flows into VCC, and outputs stay high-impedance until powered - satisfying IEC 61000-4-2 hot-swap requirements.
How many 74VHC16373TTR devices can drive a single 50 pF bus line?
Each output provides ±8 mA drive into 50 pF at 5V. Assuming worst-case 10 ns rise time and 5V swing, one device can drive ~10 cm of 50 Ω trace. Multiple devices may share a bus only if their OE signals are mutually exclusive; simultaneous 3-state drivers are not recommended due to shoot-through risk.
