Diodes Incorporated 74LVC573AT20-13 Product Overview

The 74LVC573AT20-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a high-performance, octal D-type transparent latch with 3-state outputs that belongs to the LVC family. This IC is designed to operate from a 2.7V to 3.6V power supply, making it ideal for use in low-voltage applications that require high-speed performance and low power consumption.

With its wide operating voltage range, the 74LVC573AT20-13 is compatible with 3.3V logic levels, allowing for easy interfacing with microcontrollers and other digital systems. The device's inputs are 5V tolerant, which enables it to be used in mixed-voltage environments without the need for additional level shifters.

The octal latch is equipped with eight latches with three-state outputs, providing the ability to store eight bits of data and control the output state. The transparent nature of the latches means that while the latch-enable (LE) input is high, the outputs follow the inputs. When LE is taken low, the data that was present at the inputs at the time the transition occurred is captured and held at the outputs, regardless of further changes to the input lines.

The 74LVC573AT20-13 also features an output enable (OE) input which, when high, forces the outputs to assume a high-impedance state. This is particularly useful for interfacing with bus-oriented systems where multiple devices may need to share the same output lines.

Key features of the 74LVC573AT20-13 include:

• Power supply range of 2.7V to 3.6V
• 5V tolerant inputs for interfacing with higher voltage logic
• Low power consumption for energy-efficient designs
• High-speed performance suitable for demanding applications
• Octal D-type latches with transparent operation
• Three-state outputs for bus-oriented systems
• Surface-mount package for compact PCB layouts

The device is offered in a TSSOP-20 package, providing a space-saving solution for printed circuit board (PCB) designs. The 74LVC573AT20-13 is ideal for a wide range of applications, including computers, servers, data storage, networking, and telecommunications equipment, where reliable data storage and bus interface capabilities are essential.

With its combination of features, the 74LVC573AT20-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a versatile choice for designers looking to enhance the performance and efficiency of their digital systems.
