Active production — 74LVC family transparent latch
The 74LVCH162373APVG8: The 2.1 ns propagation delay keeps the part fast enough for bus-interface and register applications running at moderate clock rates. Output drive capability is 12 mA per pin for both sourcing and sinking, enough to drive a few downstream CMOS inputs or a low-power LED without a buffer.
Package and temperature grade — 48-SSOP, industrial range
Housed in a 48-BSSOP package with a 7.50 mm body width, also referred to as 48-SSOP. The 0.635 mm pitch is hand-solderable with a fine-tip iron and a steady hand — a decent weekend project if you're prototyping, though a hot-air station makes it cleaner. The surface-mount footprint is standard for this logic family, so layout libraries are widely available.
RoHS3 compliance and sourcing
RoHS3 compliant — no lead, mercury, cadmium, or the other restricted substances in the EU directive. No exemption claims to chase down for a BOM audit.
