Product Overview: 74ACT11373DW from Texas Instruments

The 74ACT11373DW is a high-performance, octal transparent D-type latch with 3-state outputs from Texas Instruments, designed to provide storage and interface solutions for a wide range of digital systems. This integrated circuit is part of the 74ACT family, which is known for its high-speed CMOS technology, ensuring fast and reliable operation in various applications.

The device features eight latches with three-state outputs for bus-oriented applications. Each latch is D-type, meaning it captures the state of the data input when the latch-enable (LE) input is high and retains that state until the LE is taken low. The clear (CLR) input can override all other inputs, including LE, to clear the latches when it is taken low.

The 74ACT11373DW is characterized for operation from -40°C to 85°C, making it suitable for commercial temperature environments. The device is encapsulated in a wide-body, 24-pin SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) package, which ensures a compact footprint while allowing for excellent thermal performance and easy integration into various PCB layouts.

Key features of the 74ACT11373DW include:

• Eight D-type latches with 3-state outputs for bus driving capability.
• High-speed operation, with typical tpd of 8ns.
• Wide operating voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V, compatible with TTL levels.
• Inputs and outputs are protected against electrostatic discharge.
• Low power consumption with ICC reduced by 50%.

The 74ACT11373DW is ideal for temporary storage of data, buffering, and bus interface applications in computers, telecommunications, and digital systems where high speed and low power are necessary. Its robust design and advanced technology make it an excellent choice for designers looking to optimize their systems for speed and efficiency.
