Product Overview: 74ABT373ADB,118

The 74ABT373ADB,118 is a high-performance, octal transparent D-type latch produced by NXP Semiconductors. It is designed to provide storage to the eight data inputs (D0-D7) when the Latch Enable (LE) input is high, and the data is retained when LE is low. This latch is a part of the 74ABT range, known for its advanced high-speed BiCMOS technology, which provides a superior combination of speed and power consumption over similar devices.

This component is particularly suitable for applications requiring the temporary storage of data, acting as an interface between mismatched bus speeds. Its transparent nature means that while the latch is enabled, the outputs (Q0-Q7) directly reflect the input data. When the latch is disabled, the outputs retain the last data presented prior to disabling.

Key Features:

• Logic Family: ABT
• Logic Type: Octal D-type Transparent Latch
• Output Type: 3-State
• Number of Channels: 8
• Number of Pins: 20
• Supply Voltage: Typically 4.5V to 5.5V
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to +85°C
• Package: SSOP-20
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount

The 74ABT373ADB,118 is equipped with additional features such as bus-hold data inputs, which eliminate the need for external pull-up or pull-down resistors to hold unused or floating data inputs at a valid logic level. This feature significantly simplifies PCB layout and reduces system cost.

With its quick propagation delay and output transition times, the 74ABT373ADB,118 is ideal for interfacing with high-speed microprocessors and can easily handle the capacitive loading of multiple outputs. Moreover, the latch's 3-state outputs allow for connection to a bus-oriented system. The device's small footprint SSOP-20 package ensures minimal space usage on a PCB, making it a great choice for compact, high-density applications.

Whether you're designing a state-of-the-art digital system or upgrading an existing setup, the 74ABT373ADB,118 from NXP Semiconductors offers a reliable and efficient solution for your data storage and interfacing needs.
