74LVT373SJX

Latches Overview

The Fairchild Semiconductor 74LVT373SJX is an octal transparent D-type latch featuring three-state outputs, designed for bus-oriented system applications. It operates within a voltage range of 2.7V to 3.6V and utilizes a 20-pin Small Outline Package (SOP). The device provides eight latches with tri-state control, allowing data retention when the latch enable input is low and high-impedance states via the output control input.

Latches Feature Summary

• Octal transparent D-type latch architecture with tri-state outputs
• Compatible with bus-oriented system applications
• Low voltage operation suitable for 3.3V systems

Latches Applications

• Bus-oriented system data storage
• Interface between microprocessors and peripheral devices
• Memory address latching in embedded systems

Latches Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer status as Fairchild Semiconductor is now part of onsemi. Confirm the specific suffix SJX corresponds to the 20-SOP tape and reel packaging. Ensure RoHS compliance documentation is available if required for your manufacturing process. Check for obsolescence notices or lifecycle status updates from the current manufacturer.

Latches Selection Notes

Select this component when an octal latch with tri-state capability is required for 3.3V logic interfaces. Compare propagation delays and output drive strength against other LVT series parts if timing constraints are critical. Ensure the SOP package fits the PCB footprint requirements and thermal management needs of the design.

Latches Part Context

This component belongs to the 74LVT logic family, which offers low voltage operation and compatibility with standard logic levels. Similar parts include the 74HC373 for higher voltage applications and the 74LVTH373 for TTL-compatible inputs. The 74LVT series is designed for modern low-power digital systems requiring fast switching speeds.

Latches Replacement Considerations

Check for direct pin-to-pin replacements within the 74LVT series such as the 74LVT373MTC. Verify that any substitute maintains the same 20-SOP package and electrical characteristics. Consult the manufacturer's cross-reference guide for updated part numbers due to corporate mergers.
