On a heavily loaded backplane or memory-data bus, that symmetry simplifies derating — the pull-up and pull-down edges match, so you don't have to oversize the high-side drive to compensate for a weak pull-up. The tri-state outputs also allow multiple latches to share a bus without contention, as long as the output-enable timing is sequenced. ## Industrial temperature range and package Rated from -40°C to 85°C, this latch is qualified for environments where commercial-grade parts would drift or latch up. The 48-SSOP package (0.295-inch body width, 7.50 mm) is a standard fine-pitch footprint. ## Lifecycle and sourcing For new designs, this part is a safe choice — no forced redesign cycle from obsolescence. No official second-source alternate is listed in the manufacturer records, but the 74FCT162373 family includes multiple speed and package variants that share the same footprint and function.","metaTitle":"74FCT162373ETPVG D-Type Transparent Latch, 1.5 ns, 48-SSOP","metaDescription":"74FCT162373ETPVG from the 74FCT series is a 16-bit D-type transparent latch with tri-state outputs.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":"74FCT","packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Discrete Semiconductors"],"specifications":{"Series":"74FCT","Circuit":"8:8","Package":"Bulk","Logic Type":"D-Type Transparent Latch","Output Type":"Tri-State","Mounting Type":"Surface Mount","Package / Case":"48-BSSOP (0.295\\\", 7.50mm Width)","lifecycle_stage":"eol_hot","Voltage - Supply":"4.5V ~ 5.5V","Independent Circuits":"2","Operating Temperature":"-40°C ~ 85°C","Supplier Device Package":"48-SSOP","Delay Time - Propagation":"1.5ns","Current - Output High, Low":"24mA, 24mA"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$2.01","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":[{"qty":150,"price":"$2.01000","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icboms.com/706d1b7f3f7170a62c752ecb46c3625c.pdf","sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Can 74FCT162373ETPVG be used as a flip-flop?","answer":"No, this is a transparent latch, not an edge-triggered flip-flop. The output follows the input while the latch-enable signal is active (transparent) and holds the last state when the latch-enable is deasserted. For edge-triggered storage, use a D-type flip-flop such as the 74FCT162374."},{"question":"What is the difference between 74FCT162373ETPVG and 74FCT162373ATP?","answer":"The difference is in the speed grade and package. The 'ETP' suffix indicates the faster 1.5 ns propagation delay variant in a 48-SSOP (0.295-inch) package. The 'ATP' variant typically has a slower propagation delay and may come in a different package (often 48-TSSOP). Pin function is identical, but check the timing numbers for your application."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://icboms.com/renesas/74FCT162373ETPVG","citationPolicyUrl":"https://icboms.com/llms.txt","source":"ICBOMS","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"ICBOMS\" and link https://icboms.com/renesas/74FCT162373ETPVG when reusing this data.
