The SN74LVC373ADWR from Texas Instruments is a high-performance, octal transparent D-type latch with a wide operating voltage range and the capability to drive up to 24 mA at the outputs. This integrated circuit is designed for 2-V to 3.6-V V_CC operation, making it suitable for interfacing with 3.3-V logic in a variety of digital applications.

Key Features:

• Logic Family: LVC - Low-Voltage CMOS
• Latch Type: D-Type Transparent Latch
• Number of Channels: 8
• Output Drive: ±24 mA at 3.3 V
• Operating Voltage: 2 V to 3.6 V
• Package: SOIC-20 Wide Body
• Temperature Range: -40°C to 85°C

The SN74LVC373ADWR features eight D-type latches with 3-state outputs. This allows for bus-oriented applications where the data flow is controlled via the latch enable (LE) and output enable (OE) inputs. When LE is high, the D-type inputs are transparent to the outputs. When LE is low, the latches store the information that was present at the D-type inputs a setup time preceding the high-to-low transition of LE.

One of the key advantages of the SN74LVC373ADWR is its compatibility with mixed-voltage systems. It is designed to interface with 5-V logic signals while operating at a lower voltage, thereby reducing power consumption in the system. Additionally, the device has a robust I_OZ specification which ensures minimized current draw when the outputs are disabled.

The SN74LVC373ADWR comes in a slim SOIC-20 wide body package, which is suitable for space-constrained applications. It is also characterized for operation from -40°C to 85°C, ensuring reliable performance in a wide range of environmental conditions.

Overall, the SN74LVC373ADWR is a versatile and reliable choice for designers looking for an octal latch that combines low-voltage operation with the ability to interface with higher voltage logic levels.
