The SN74LVC373APW, developed by Texas Instruments, is a high-performance octal transparent D-type latch that is designed to operate from 2.7 V to 3.6 V. This makes it suitable for interfacing with 3.3 V logic in mixed 3.3 V/5 V systems. The SN74LVC373APW is part of the LVC family, which is known for low-voltage operation and low power consumption.

Key Features:

• Logic Type: Octal Transparent D-type Latches with 3-state outputs
• Voltage Range: Operates from 2.7 V to 3.6 V, with 5 V tolerant inputs
• Speed: Fast propagation delays and output transition times
• Current Drive: High drive currents (±24 mA at the outputs)
• Package: Available in TSSOP (Thin Shrink Small Outline Package) form
• Temperature Range: Specified from -40°C to 85°C

Applications:

The device is highly versatile and suitable for a wide range of applications, including:

• Buffer/storage registers
• Gate arrays
• Commutators
• Switches in communication systems

Functionality:

The SN74LVC373APW has eight D-type latches with three-state outputs. The device features a latch-enable (LE) input and an output-enable (OE) input. When LE is high, the flip-flops take the data from the D inputs. When LE is taken low, the data is retained in the latch. The OE input controls the state of the outputs; when OE is low, the outputs are active and reflect the data stored in the latches. When OE is high, the outputs are in a high-impedance state, effectively isolating the latches from the bus.

Quality and Reliability:

Texas Instruments is renowned for its commitment to quality and reliability. The SN74LVC373APW is no exception, and it is designed to meet the stringent requirements of the industrial and telecommunications markets. With Texas Instruments' advanced manufacturing techniques and rigorous testing, customers can trust the SN74LVC373APW for their critical applications.
