SN74AC373PWR Octal D-Type Transparent Latches and Edge-Triggered Flip-Flops

The SN74AC373PWR from Texas Instruments is a high-performance integrated circuit that belongs to the AC series of logic devices. Designed to offer both octal D-type transparent latches and edge-triggered flip-flops, this chip is a versatile component for a wide range of digital applications.

Key Features:

• Logic Type: Octal D-Type Transparent Latch and Edge-Triggered Flip-Flop
• Package / Case: TSSOP-20
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Operating Temperature: -40°C to 85°C
• Logic Level - Low: 0.8V
• Logic Level - High: 2V
• Output Current: ±24mA
• Supply Voltage: 2V to 6V
• Propagation Delay Time: 8ns at 5V, 50pF

The SN74AC373PWR is designed for high-speed, low-power operation, making it suitable for interfacing with bus-oriented systems. The transparent latches allow data to flow directly from the input to the output when the latch-enable (LE) input is high. When LE is low, the data that meets the setup times is latched. Edge-triggered flip-flops, on the other hand, change states on the positive transition of the clock (CLK) input signal.

This device has an 8-bit wide data path, which makes it ideal for implementing buffer registers, I/O ports, bidirectional bus drivers, and working registers. With its robust latch and flip-flop capabilities, the SN74AC373PWR ensures that data is held stable and is available to the outputs at all times, barring any transition periods.

Furthermore, the SN74AC373PWR features a bus-hold data retention function that eliminates the need for external pull-up or pull-down resistors, simplifying design and reducing board space. This product is available in a compact TSSOP-20 package, which is perfect for applications where space is at a premium.

With its combination of high-speed performance, low power consumption, and versatile functionality, the SN74AC373PWR from Texas Instruments is an excellent choice for designers looking to implement reliable and efficient digital logic systems.
