The SN74LV373ATRGYRG4 is a high-performance, octal transparent D-type latch designed by Texas Instruments, a leader in semiconductor innovation. This integrated circuit is part of the 74LV family, which operates at a lower voltage range, making it suitable for battery-operated and portable applications where power efficiency is crucial.

The device features eight latches with 3-state outputs for bus-oriented applications. The latches are transparent D-type, meaning that while the latch-enable (LE) input is high, the Q outputs will follow the data (D) inputs. When LE is taken low, the data that was present at the D-inputs at the time the transition occurred is latched and held stable at the Q outputs until LE is returned high.

The SN74LV373ATRGYRG4 operates at a voltage range of 2V to 3.6V, which allows for use in systems that require low power consumption without sacrificing the speed and performance. This makes it an ideal choice for interfacing with high-speed microprocessors without the need for additional level shifters.

The octal latch also features a wide operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C, ensuring reliable performance across various environmental conditions. Additionally, the device comes in a compact 20-pin VQFN package, which is perfect for space-constrained applications.

Key specifications of the SN74LV373ATRGYRG4 include:

• 8-bit D-type latches with 3-state outputs
• Operating voltage range: 2V to 3.6V
• Output drive capability: ±24mA at 3.3V
