SN74LS373MR1

Latches Overview

The SN74LS373MR1 is an octal transparent latch manufactured by Motorola, featuring eight D-type flip-flops with tri-state outputs. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.75V to 5.25V and contains one independent circuit. The component is housed in a 20-SOIC surface-mount package, designed for digital logic applications requiring data storage and control.

Latches Feature Summary

• Octal configuration providing eight independent D-type transparent latches
• Tri-state output capability for effective bus driving and isolation
• Surface-mount construction utilizing a 20-pin Small Outline Integrated Circuit (SOIC) package

Latches Applications

• Digital logic systems requiring data storage
• Bus driver circuits
• Control logic interfaces

Latches Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation as Motorola Semiconductor when sourcing this component. Confirm the specific suffix MR1 corresponds to the 20-SOIC surface-mount package variant. Ensure compatibility with standard 5V logic levels and check for RoHS compliance status if required by current manufacturing standards. Cross-reference ordering information with official distributor catalogs to confirm availability and authenticity.

Latches Selection Notes

Select this component for designs necessitating octal data latching with high-impedance states. It is suitable for applications where space constraints favor surface-mount technology over through-hole options. Consider the LS series speed and power characteristics relative to system requirements. Verify that the 20-SOIC footprint aligns with the printed circuit board layout specifications.

Latches Part Context

This part belongs to the SN74LS373 family of octal transparent latches. It shares functional similarities with other 74LS series logic devices but is distinguished by its specific tri-state output configuration and Motorola packaging. The device serves as a fundamental building block for sequential logic circuits in digital electronics.

Latches Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include generic 74LS373 equivalents from other manufacturers, provided they match the 20-SOIC package and electrical specifications. Verify pinout compatibility before substitution.
