Additional Details

The PI74FCT16373ATVX operates from a 5V power supply and is characterized for operation over the industrial temperature range. The device features a latch enable (LE) input, which controls the transparency of the latch. When LE is high, the outputs follow the inputs. When LE is low, the outputs latch the data present at the inputs. The 3-state outputs allow multiple devices to share a common bus without contention. The low propagation delay ensures minimal impact on system timing. The device is commonly used in applications where high-speed data storage and retrieval are required, such as in memory systems and data acquisition systems.
