The 74ACT573 from STMicroelectronics is a high-speed CMOS octal latch with 3-state outputs designed for use in bus-oriented applications. This integrated circuit is part of the 74ACT series, which is known for its high-speed performance while maintaining the power efficiency of CMOS technology.
Key Features
- High-Speed Operation: The 74ACT573 offers a significant improvement in speed, with propagation delay times far less than those of the standard 74LS series.
- Octal D-Type Latch: It features an 8-bit D-type latch with 3-state output buffers. The latch is transparent with the latch enable (LE) input high and stores the data presented on its inputs when LE is taken low.
- 3-State Outputs: The outputs can be put in a high-impedance state, allowing for bus-oriented applications where multiple outputs can share the same connection.
- Bus Compatible: The inputs and outputs are designed to withstand -0.5V to +7.0V, ensuring compatibility with multiple bus management systems.
- Low Power Consumption: It combines the high speed of the 74ACT series with the low power features of CMOS technology, resulting in a reduced power footprint for your circuits.
Applications
The 74ACT573 is ideal for applications that require high-speed data storage and transfer while minimizing power consumption. It is commonly used in:
- Bus interface/storage
- Data storage and retrieval systems
- Communication systems
- Embedded systems
- Microprocessor or microcontroller interface
Technical Specifications
The device operates from a 4.5V to 5.5V power supply and is characterized for operation from -55°C to 125°C, making it suitable for industrial temperature ranges. The 74ACT573 is available in multiple package options, including DIP, SOP, and TSSOP, providing flexibility for various PCB layouts and assembly processes.
