Product Description

The SN54F373J latch is an essential component for temporary data storage in digital systems. It captures and holds the data presented on its inputs whenever the Latch Enable (LE) input is high, allowing for controlled data transfer. The data is retained as long as the LE input is held high. Once the LE input goes low, the latches retain the stored data, regardless of changes at the data inputs.

Another significant feature of this IC is its 3-state outputs, which can be placed in a high-impedance state. This feature is crucial for bus-oriented systems, as it allows multiple outputs to connect to a common bus without interference. The outputs can be enabled or disabled by the Output Enable (OE) input, providing additional control over the data flow.

Built to operate over a wide temperature range, the SN54F373J is suitable for military and aerospace applications, ensuring performance in extreme conditions. The CerDIP-20 package provides excellent thermal and electrical performance, making it a reliable choice for complex electronic systems.

Applications

The SN54F373J is versatile and can be used in various applications, including:

• Temporary data storage
• Bus interface/storage
• Data multiplexing
• System control functions

With its robust design and functionality, the SN54F373J from Texas Instruments stands as an exceptional choice for designers seeking a reliable octal latch for their digital systems.
