The 74LCX373SJXQ is a low-voltage CMOS octal transparent latch with 3-STATE outputs manufactured by Fairchild/ON Semiconductor. This device is designed for high-speed, low-power applications requiring the temporary storage of digital data. The transparent latch allows data to pass through when the latch enable (LE) input is high and stores the data when LE transitions low. The 3-STATE outputs facilitate bus interfacing and memory applications.

Applications:

• Data buffering
• Address latching
• Memory interfacing
• Microprocessor systems
• Bus interfacing

Features:

• Low voltage operation (2.0V to 5.5V)
• High-speed operation
• Low power consumption
• Transparent latch functionality
• 3-STATE outputs
• Small outline package

Benefits:

• Improved system performance due to high-speed operation
• Reduced power consumption in battery-powered devices
• Flexible data storage options with transparent latch
• Easy interfacing with various logic families
• Space-saving design due to small package size

Additional Details:

The 74LCX373SJXQ features a propagation delay of typically 6ns at 3.3V, enabling it to operate at high frequencies. Its 3-STATE outputs allow multiple devices to share a common bus without contention. The device is available in a SOIC package, making it suitable for surface mount assembly. Fairchild Semiconductor, now part of ON Semiconductor, is a reputable manufacturer of semiconductor devices, and the 74LCX373SJXQ reflects their commitment to quality and performance. It is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive applications.
