The IDT74FCT373ASO is a high-speed, low-power octal transparent latch from Integrated Device Technology (IDT). This device is designed for high-performance memory caching and data buffering applications. It features a flow-through pinout for ease of use and reduced noise.

Applications

• High-speed memory caching
• Data buffering
• Address latching in microprocessor systems
• Data multiplexing
• General-purpose storage registers

Features

• High-speed operation: tpd = 4.7 ns (typical)
• Low power consumption: ICC = 8 mA (typical)
• Octal transparent latch
• 3-state outputs drive bus lines directly
• Flow-through pinout optimizes PCB layout
• TTL-compatible inputs
• Available in SOIC package

Benefits

• Improved system performance due to fast propagation delay
• Reduced power consumption, leading to energy efficiency
• Simplified PCB layout and reduced noise with flow-through architecture
• Direct interface to TTL logic levels
• Suitable for space-constrained applications due to compact SOIC package

Additional Details

The IDT74FCT373ASO operates from a 4.75V to 5.25V supply voltage. It has a maximum operating temperature of 85°C. The device's outputs are capable of driving bus lines without external pull-up resistors. Its transparent latch functionality allows data to pass through when the latch enable (LE) is high, and data is latched when LE transitions low. This makes it suitable for applications requiring temporary data storage and retrieval.
