SN54ACT16373,74ACT16373,pdf(16

The SN54ACT16373 and 74ACT16373 are 16-bit D-type transparent latches with 3-state outputs designed specifically for driving highly capacitive or relatively low-impedance loads. They are particularly suitable for implementing buffer registers, I/O ports, bidirectional bus drivers, and working registers. These devices can be used as two 8-bit latches or one 16-bit latch. The Q outputs of the latches follow the data (D) inputs if enable C is taken high. When C is taken low, the Q outputs are latched at the levels set up at the D inputs.

A buffered output-enable  input can be used to place the outputs in either a normal logic state (high or low logic levels) or the high-impedance state. In the high-impedance state, the outputs neither load nor drive the bus lines significantly.
