The FCT162373T 16-bit transparent D-type latch is built using advanced dual metal CMOS technology. This high-speed, low-power latch is ideal for temporary storage of data. It can be used for implementing memory address latches, I/O ports, and bus drivers. The Output Enable and Latch Enable controls are organized to operate each device as two 8-bit latches, or one 16-bit latch. Flow-through organization of signal pins simplifies layout. All inputs are designed with hysteresis for improved noise margin. The FCT162373T has balanced output drive with current limiting resistors. This offers low ground bounce, minimal undershoot, and controlled output fall timesreducing the need for external series terminating resistors. The FCT162373T is a plug-in replacement for the FCT16373T and ABT16373 for on-board interface applications.
