Product Overview: 74LVC573APW

The 74LVC573APW is a high-performance, octal D-type transparent latch designed by NXP Semiconductors. It is part of the LVC (Low Voltage CMOS) family, which is renowned for its low power consumption and high-speed operation. This product is particularly suitable for use in applications where there is a need to capture and hold data momentarily. It is commonly used in computers, communication systems, and other digital systems that require a temporary storage solution for data bits.

This integrated circuit (IC) is designed to operate from a 1.2V to 3.6V V<sub>CC supply voltage, making it compatible with a range of low voltage applications and ensuring interoperability with other LVC family devices. The 74LVC573APW features eight latches with 3-state outputs, which allows for bus-oriented applications. The 3-state outputs ensure that multiple ICs can share a common data bus without interference.

The device has a broad operating temperature range from -40°C to +125°C, which makes it suitable for industrial applications that may be exposed to extreme environments. The 74LVC573APW comes in a TSSOP20 package, which is a space-saving design that is ideal for densely packed PCBs (Printed Circuit Boards).

Key Features:

• 8-bit D-type transparent latches with 3-state outputs
• Low power consumption with a wide operating voltage range (1.2V to 3.6V)
• High-speed performance with a typical t<sub>PD of 3.7 ns at V<sub>CC = 3.3V
• Bus hold feature on data inputs eliminates the need for external pull-up/pull-down resistors
• Compliant with JEDEC standard no. 8-1A
• Latch-up performance exceeds 250 mA per JESD 78, Class II
• ESD protection exceeds JESD 22
• Available in a TSSOP20 package for compact PCB layout

The 74LVC573APW is designed with the philosophy of ensuring high-speed data latching while maintaining power efficiency, making it an excellent choice for modern electronic applications where performance and power savings are crucial. Its robust design and compatibility with other LVC devices provide a flexible and reliable solution for data storage and interfacing needs.
