Product Description

The SN74HC373NSRE4 is designed with eight latches with 3-state outputs for bus-oriented applications. The device features a wide operating voltage range from 2 V to 6 V and can drive up to 6 mA of output current, making it suitable for interfacing with a variety of other logic families.

Each latch is equipped with a D-type flip-flop that captures the state of the data input (D) when the latch-enable (LE) input is high. The data is retained as long as the LE is held high and can be retained or transferred to the outputs when LE is taken low. The output control (OC) overrides the latch function when high, forcing the outputs to assume a high-impedance state, thus enabling the outputs to interface directly with bus lines or buffer memory address registers.

The propagation delay time of this device is 13 ns at a supply voltage of 6 V, which allows for fast data transfer and processing, a critical feature in high-speed systems. Moreover, the SN74HC373NSRE4 operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, ensuring reliable performance in extreme conditions.

With its robust design and versatile features, the SN74HC373NSRE4 from Texas Instruments is an excellent choice for applications that require high-speed, octal transparent latches with tri-state outputs.
