ON Semiconductor MC74LCX373DTG Octal Transparent Latch

The MC74LCX373DTG is a high-performance, octal transparent latch integrated circuit from ON Semiconductor, designed for use in applications that require the storage of eight bits of data. This device is part of the LCX family, which is known for its low voltage operation and compatibility with both 3.3V and 5V systems.

Constructed with advanced silicon gate CMOS technology, the MC74LCX373DTG ensures reduced power consumption while maintaining high-speed operation. It is particularly suitable for interfacing with high-speed microprocessors without the need for current-limiting resistors, thanks to its 5V tolerant inputs. The octal transparent latch is designed to significantly improve both the performance and density of three-state memory address registers, data buses, and other system applications.

Key features of the MC74LCX373DTG include:

• Logic Type: Octal Transparent Latch
• Supply Voltage Range: 2.0V to 3.6V
• Output Capability: 3-State
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to +85°C
• Package: TSSOP-20
• Lead-Free and RoHS Compliant

The device features a latch enable (LE) input and eight output enable (OE) inputs, which are common to all latches. When LE is high, the flip-flops appear transparent to the data, and when LE is low, the data that meets the setup-time requirements is latched. Data appears on the bus when the OE input is low. If OE is high, the bus output is in the high impedance state, which means that there is no active connection to the bus.

ON Semiconductor's MC74LCX373DTG is designed to be used in systems that require high-speed, low-power consumption, and the need to drive heavily loaded buses with the lowest propagation delay time. Its robust design and advanced technology make it an ideal choice for a wide range of applications, including telecommunications, computing, networking, and industrial systems where efficient data handling is crucial.

With its commitment to quality, ON Semiconductor ensures that the MC74LCX373DTG meets the stringent requirements of modern electronic systems, providing a reliable and efficient solution for data storage and transfer.
