CY74FCT373CTSOCT

Latches Overview

The CY74FCT373CTSOCT is an octal transparent latch manufactured by Texas Instruments within the FCT logic series. It features eight non-inverting data inputs and outputs with tri-state capability, housed in a 20-pin SOIC package. The device operates on a single supply voltage ranging from 4.75 V to 5.25 V. Key electrical specifications include a propagation delay of 5.2 ns at 5 V, low-level output current of 32 mA, and high-level output current of -32 mA. It supports surface mount installation and functions reliably across an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Latches Feature Summary

• Provides eight-bit data storage with transparent latching behavior controlled by a dedicated latch enable input.
• Integrates tri-state output drivers to facilitate bus-oriented memory and register applications.
• Utilizes Fast CMOS technology to achieve high-speed performance while maintaining low power consumption.

Latches Applications

• Bus-oriented memory and register implementations
• Two-wire bus protocols requiring data storage
• Parallel-to-serial conversion circuits

Latches Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'CTSOCT' against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm pinout compatibility and tape-and-reel specifications. Ensure the procurement channel provides valid traceability for the FCT series component. Confirm that the received units match the exact part number to avoid functional mismatches in high-speed digital designs.

Latches Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring octal data storage with tri-state bus interfacing capabilities. It is suitable for applications demanding fast propagation delays and low power dissipation under standard 5V logic conditions. Consider the SOIC-20 package constraints and thermal characteristics during PCB layout planning.

Latches Part Context

This component belongs to the CY74FCT373T family of octal latches produced by Texas Instruments. The FCT series represents Fast CMOS technology designed for high-speed digital applications. The specific variant includes industrial temperature rating and surface-mount packaging options distinct from through-hole or commercial grade equivalents.

Latches Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other CY74FCT373 variants with compatible pinouts. Verify equivalent speed grades and output drive strengths before substitution. Cross-reference with similar octal latches from the same manufacturer ensuring identical package dimensions and electrical characteristics.
