CD74HC373M96

Latches Overview

The CD74HC373M96 is an octal transparent D-type latch with three-state outputs manufactured by Texas Instruments. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2 V to 6 V and supports a wide operating temperature range from -55°C to 125°C. The device features balanced propagation delays, with typical values of 30 ns at 4.5 V and 26 ns at 6 V. Static current consumption is typically 8 µA. Output drive capabilities include a low-level output current of 32 mA and a high-level output current of -7.8 mA. It is housed in a 20-pin SOIC package.

Latches Feature Summary

• Octal transparent D-type latching architecture providing eight independent data storage elements
• Three-state outputs enabling direct bus-driven connections without external buffers
• Wide operating temperature range suitable for industrial and commercial environments
• Balanced propagation delays and transition times for synchronized signal handling

Latches Applications

• Parallel-to-serial data conversion circuits
• Bus-oriented memory register implementations
• Temporary data storage in digital logic systems

Latches Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix M96 indicates tape and reel packaging configuration when ordering. Confirm that the required operating voltage aligns with the 2 V to 6 V specification range. Ensure thermal management strategies accommodate the extended temperature range up to 125°C if used in harsh environments. Cross-reference pinout compatibility with existing PCB layouts before integration.

Latches Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring multiple parallel data inputs with simultaneous output control via a single enable line. The HC series technology offers CMOS compatibility with standard TTL levels. Consider the 20-pin SOIC footprint for surface-mount assembly requirements. Evaluate power consumption needs against the low static current characteristics for battery-operated applications.

Latches Part Context

This part belongs to the CD74HC373 family of octal latches. The M96 suffix specifically denotes the tape and reel packaging format intended for automated assembly processes. It shares functional similarities with other HC-series latches but is distinguished by its specific packaging and manufacturing batch identifiers defined by Texas Instruments.

Latches Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include CD74HC373M and SN74HC373N, provided the packaging type matches the assembly requirements. Verify that alternative parts maintain the same 20-pin SOIC or DIP form factor and identical electrical specifications for seamless integration.
