SN74ACT373MDWREP Octal Transparent D-Type Latches

The SN74ACT373MDWREP from Texas Instruments is a high-performance, octal transparent D-type latch with a clear function, designed for 4.5-V to 5.5-V VCC operation. This device is part of Texas Instruments' wide range of semiconductors and is specifically engineered to meet the rigorous demands of space-constrained and mission-critical applications.

The SN74ACT373MDWREP features eight latches with 3-state outputs for bus-oriented applications. Each latch is D-type, meaning it captures the state of the data input on a rising-edge clock (CLK) signal and holds it until a clear (CLR) input is sent. The 3-state outputs ensure that the latches can be connected directly to a bus, allowing for easy data transfer or multiplexing.

This product is characterized for operation from -55°C to 125°C, making it suitable for extreme environments and ensuring reliable performance under a wide range of temperatures. Its robust design is tailored for enhanced durability and longevity, which is essential for aerospace and military applications where components must withstand harsh conditions.

Key features of the SN74ACT373MDWREP include:

• Eight D-type latches in a single package
• 3-state outputs for bus interfacing
• Wide operating voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V
• High drive capability
• Edge-triggered from a low-to-high transition of the clock (CLK)
• Clear (CLR) input for resetting the latches
• Enhanced product change notification
• Controlled baseline
• One assembly/test site
• One fabrication site
• Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br) compliant

The device is supplied in a wide-body, 20-pin SOIC package, which provides a compact footprint while allowing for adequate heat dissipation and easy integration into various circuit designs.

Whether used in data storage, communication systems, or complex computing hardware, the SN74ACT373MDWREP is a reliable choice for designers who need a latch that can perform consistently in the most demanding situations. Its combination of high-speed, low-power consumption, and environmental resilience makes it an ideal choice for sophisticated electronic systems.
