The 74LVC373A is a high-performance, low-voltage Si-gate CMOS device from NXP Semiconductors. This product is a part of the 74LVC family, which is renowned for its robustness and compatibility with TTL levels. The 74LVC373A is an octal D-type transparent latch with 3-state outputs and is designed to operate from 1.2 V to 3.6 V, making it ideal for use in systems that require low power consumption and high speed.
Key Features
- Operating Voltage: The device can function within a wide range of supply voltages from 1.2 V to 3.6 V, accommodating various application requirements.
- High-Speed Performance: Offers high-speed operation with a typical propagation delay of only 3.7 ns at a 3.3 V supply, ensuring swift response in critical applications.
- Octal D-type Latches: Contains eight latches with transparent D-type inputs that allow for the direct flow of data when the latch enable (LE) input is high.
- 3-State Outputs: The 3-state output feature allows for connection to a bus-organized system without the need for external pull-up resistors.
- Bus Hold Function: Integrated bus hold circuitry on the data inputs eliminates the need for external pull-up or pull-down resistors and helps to maintain last input state.
- Latch Enable (LE) Input: The LE input controls the latching function to either store data or transparently pass it through.
