Product Overview: SN74AHCT373NSR by Texas Instruments

The SN74AHCT373NSR, manufactured by Texas Instruments, is an octal transparent D-type latch with 3-state outputs, designed for high-performance memory and data buffering applications. This integrated circuit is part of the 'AHCT' family, which stands for Advanced High-Speed CMOS Technology with TTL-compatible inputs.

The device features eight latches with three-state outputs for bus-oriented applications. The latches appear transparent to data when the latch-enable (LE) input is high. When LE is low, the data that meets the setup time is latched. Data appears on the outputs when the output-enable (OE) signal is low. If OE is high, the outputs are in the high-impedance state, which means they neither load the bus nor interfere with other components that may be driving the bus.
