74LVQ373QSC

Latches Overview

The Fairchild Semiconductor 74LVQ373QSC is an octal transparent latch featuring three-state outputs, manufactured using low-voltage CMOS technology. It operates within a supply voltage range of 1.65 V to 3.6 V and supports data rates up to 200 MHz at 3.3 V. The device utilizes a 20-pin SSOP package with a shrink pitch. It provides high noise immunity and low power consumption while maintaining compatibility with standard logic families.

Latches Feature Summary

• Octal transparent latch architecture with three-state bus-driving outputs
• Low-voltage operation compatible with 1.65 V to 3.6 V power supplies
• High-speed performance supporting data rates up to 200 MHz
• Enhanced noise immunity and reduced power consumption via advanced CMOS technology

Latches Applications

• Bus-organized system interfacing
• Buffer registers and working registers
• I/O port implementations
• Bidirectional bus drivers

Latches Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'QSC' against official Fairchild documentation to confirm package type and environmental compliance status. Ensure the component meets RoHS requirements for your target market. Confirm availability as this series may have been superseded by newer equivalents in the LVQ family.

Latches Selection Notes

Select this component when low-voltage operation between 1.65 V and 3.6 V is required alongside high-speed data transfer capabilities. It is suitable for systems needing octal latching with three-state outputs for direct bus connection without additional interface components. Consider thermal management and ESD protection features inherent to the CMOS process.

Latches Part Context

This part belongs to the 74LVQ logic family, designed for low-voltage applications. It shares functional similarities with other octal latches like the 74HC373 but offers improved speed and lower voltage operation. The QSC suffix typically denotes a specific plastic shrink small-outline package variant offered by Fairchild Semiconductor.

Latches Replacement Considerations

Check for direct replacements such as the 74LVC373 or 74LVX373 from various manufacturers, ensuring pinout and electrical characteristics match. Verify if the 74ACT373 serves as a higher-speed alternative if voltage levels permit.
