Product Overview: SN74AS373DWRG4 by Texas Instruments

The SN74AS373DWRG4 is a high-quality octal transparent D-type latch designed and manufactured by Texas Instruments, a leader in semiconductor innovation. This integrated circuit is part of the advanced Schottky (AS) logic family, which is known for its high speed and low power consumption, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of electronic applications.

Key Features

• Logic Family: AS
• Latch Type: D-Type Transparent Latch
• Number of Bits: 8 bits
• Output Type: Tri-State
• Package / Case: SOIC-20
• Operating Temperature: -40°C to +85°C
• Supply Voltage: 4.5V to 5.5V

The SN74AS373DWRG4 features eight D-type latches with tri-state outputs. When the latch-enable (LE) input is high, the Q outputs follow the data (D) inputs. When LE is taken low, the Q outputs are latched at the levels that were set up at the D inputs. A buffered output-enable (OE) input can be used to place the eight outputs in either a normal logic state or a high-impedance state. In the latter mode, the outputs neither load nor drive the bus lines significantly. The high-impedance state and increased drive provide the capability to drive bus lines without interface or pullup components.

Designed for use in systems that require high data input rates and robust performance, the SN74AS373DWRG4 is commonly used in data storage and retrieval systems, communication systems, and complex microprocessor or microcontroller-based systems. It is also suitable for implementing buffer registers, I/O ports, bidirectional bus drivers, and working registers.

Applications

• Data Storage Systems
