The SN74ACT373DBLE is a high-performance, octal transparent D-type latch designed by Texas Instruments. This integrated circuit is part of the ACT family, which provides a variety of speed and power options suitable for a wide range of applications. The device is characterized for operation from -40°C to 85°C, making it suitable for industrial applications.

Key Features

• Logic Type: Octal D-Type Transparent Latch
• Logic Family: ACT
• Number of Bits per Element: 8
• Output Type: Tri-State
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to 85°C
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Package / Case: SSOP (Shrink Small Outline Package)
• Propagation Delay Time: Fast propagation delay times
• Supply Voltage Range: 4.5V to 5.5V
• IC Interface Type: CMOS

The SN74ACT373DBLE has a typical latch function, where the data at its input can be transferred to the output only when the latch-enable (LE) input is high. The data is retained when LE is low, making it an ideal choice for storing data. The device also features tri-state outputs, which can be put in a high-impedance state, thereby allowing multiple devices to share a common data bus.

Applications

This versatile latch is well-suited for a broad range of applications, including:

• Buffer/Storage Registers
• Input/Output Ports
• Bus-Oriented Systems

With its robust design and reliable performance, the SN74ACT373DBLE from Texas Instruments is an excellent choice for designers who require a transparent latch with octal density and tri-state outputs.
