What this 8-bit D latch is and where it fits
The Texas Instruments 4724BDC is an 8-bit D-type transparent latch in a CDFP16 ceramic flatpack. It holds eight bits of data when the latch-enable signal is low and passes input to output when high — a standard building block for temporary data storage in bus-oriented logic systems. The CDFP16 package is a ceramic dual flatpack with 16 leads on a 1.27 mm pitch. It is a through-hole or surface-mount hybrid footprint depending on the board design — the ceramic body handles higher operating temperatures than plastic DIP or SOIC, and the hermetic seal suits environments where moisture ingress is a concern.
Active lifecycle — no end-of-life watch needed
Because it is Active, the standard TI distribution channel handles it without special surplus sourcing.
Package and board-fit: CDFP16 in Bulk
The Bulk package means the 4724BDC ships in loose tubes or anti-static trays — not tape-and-reel. For a pick-and-place line, this requires tube feeders or tray shuttles; hand-assembly or small-batch rework is straightforward with the visible lead pitch.
