Product Overview: CD74FCT373M Octal Transparent Latch from Texas Instruments
The CD74FCT373M is a high-performance CMOS Octal Transparent Latch with 3-state outputs from Texas Instruments. Designed for use in applications requiring high-speed and low power consumption, this latch operates as an eight-bit memory device with a common Latch Enable (LE) input. When the LE is held high, the Q outputs follow the data (D) inputs. When LE is taken low, the Q outputs are latched at the levels set up at the D inputs.
Key Features
