STMicroelectronics 74VHC373TTR Octal Transparent Latch

The 74VHC373TTR from STMicroelectronics is a high-speed CMOS device that belongs to a family of octal transparent latches with three-state outputs. This integrated circuit is designed to be used in applications that require the temporary storage of data. It allows for the flow of data from the input bus to the output bus with the latch enabled, and it retains the data with the latch disabled.

Key Features

• High-Speed Performance: The 74VHC373TTR operates at high speeds, making it suitable for systems that require quick data transfer and storage.
• Low Power Consumption: Designed with power efficiency in mind, this device has a low power dissipation, which is ideal for battery-operated systems.
• Wide Operating Voltage Range: It can function over a broad voltage range from 2V to 5.5V, providing versatility for different circuit designs and applications.
• Octal D-Type Latch: With eight latches in a single package, it provides a compact and efficient solution for data storage.
• Three-State Outputs: The three-state outputs allow for connection to a bus-oriented system, giving the ability to disconnect the output from the bus for bus sharing or bus contention avoidance.
• Latch Enable (LE) and Output Enable (OE) Controls: These control inputs govern the state of the latch and the condition of the output, providing precise control over data flow.

Applications

The 74VHC373TTR is suitable for a wide range of applications, including:

• Temporary data storage
• Buffer registers
• Bus drivers
• Address latches
• Memory address registers

With its robust design and high functionality, the STMicroelectronics 74VHC373TTR is an excellent choice for designers looking for a reliable octal latch. Its small form factor and the convenience of surface-mount technology make it a practical choice for modern electronic systems.
