Philips 74ABT16373B 16-bit Transparent Latch Datasheet
The Philips 74ABT16373B is a high-performance BiCMOS integrated circuit designed as a dual octal transparent latch coupled to two sets of eight 3-State output buffers. The device combines low static and dynamic power dissipation with high speed and high output drive, making it suitable for driving heavily loaded 3-State buses, MOS memories, or MOS microprocessors.
The device features independent control for its two sections via Enable (nE) and Output Enable (nOE) control gates. It supports power-up 3-State operation, live insertion/extraction, and includes latch-up protection exceeding 500 mA. The datasheet provides detailed absolute maximum ratings, recommended operating conditions, DC electrical characteristics, and AC characteristics including propagation delays and set-up requirements.
