Additional Details:

The TC74VHCT373AFTEL operates with a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V. It comes in a TSSOP (Thin Shrink Small Outline Package). The propagation delay time is typically around 6 ns. The output enable (OE) control allows the outputs to be disabled, placing them in a high-impedance state. The device is designed to operate within a specified temperature range (e.g., -40°C to +85°C). It is commonly used in various digital electronic systems, including computers, communication equipment, and industrial control systems.
