MC74VHCT373ADW

Latches Overview

The MC74VHCT373ADW is an octal transparent latch manufactured by onsemi, belonging to the VHCT logic family. It features eight D-type inputs and three-state outputs housed in a 20-pin SOIC package. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V. Key electrical specifications include a propagation delay of 8.5 ns, low static current consumption of 4 uA, and output drive capabilities of 8 mA for both high and low states. It supports surface mount installation and functions reliably across an operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.

Latches Feature Summary

• Provides octal data storage with non-inverting logic functionality
• Integrates three-state outputs for efficient bus line driving
• Utilizes advanced CMOS technology for low power consumption
• Ensures compatibility with standard HCT logic input levels

Latches Applications

• Parallel-to-serial data conversion circuits
• Bus-oriented memory register implementations
• Clock domain crossing synchronization stages
• General-purpose digital data buffering applications

Latches Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'ADW' against official manufacturer documentation to confirm the exact package type and tape-and-reel or tube configuration. Ensure the component meets required RoHS compliance standards for your region. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date to validate parameter accuracy before finalizing procurement orders.

Latches Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring octal latching with three-state control. The VHCT series offers superior speed compared to standard HCT devices while maintaining compatible input thresholds. Consider the 20-pin SOIC footprint for PCB layout constraints and verify that the 8 mA output drive current suffices for the intended load capacitance and trace requirements.

Latches Part Context

This part belongs to the MC74VHCT373A series of octal transparent latches. It is designed as a high-speed CMOS solution for digital logic applications. The device serves as a fundamental building block for data storage and transfer in microprocessor-based systems, offering reliable performance in industrial and commercial environments.

Latches Replacement Considerations

Check for direct pin-compatible alternatives such as the MC74VHCT373ADTR2G variant, which shares identical logical functionality but differs in packaging format. Verify that any substitute maintains the same voltage range and propagation delay characteristics to ensure circuit compatibility.
