SN74LV373ATPW

Latches Overview

The SN74LV373ATPW is an octal transparent D-type latch manufactured by Texas Instruments. It features three-state outputs and operates within a supply voltage range of 2V to 5.5V. The device utilizes LV (Low-Voltage CMOS) technology, ensuring low power consumption and high noise immunity. It is housed in a 20-pin TSSOP package, designed for surface-mount applications. The latch allows data to pass through when the latch enable is active and holds the last data bit when the enable signal is inactive.

Latches Feature Summary

• Octal configuration providing eight independent D-type latches with transparent operation during the enable phase.
• Three-state output capability allowing direct connection to bus structures without external drivers.
• Wide operating voltage range supporting both 2V and 5.5V systems for versatile interface compatibility.

Latches Applications

• Data buffering and temporary storage in digital logic circuits.
• Interface between microprocessors and peripheral devices requiring tri-state control.
• Register files in embedded systems utilizing low-voltage logic families.

Latches Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'TPW' corresponds to the 20-pin TSSOP package variant. Confirm RoHS compliance status as indicated by manufacturer documentation. Ensure the ordering part number matches the required temperature grade and packaging format for production integration.

Latches Selection Notes

Select this component when an octal latch with wide voltage tolerance is required. Compare propagation delay specifications against system timing requirements. Evaluate pin count and package size constraints relative to alternative logic families such as LVC or AHCT series.

Latches Part Context

This part belongs to the SN74LV family of low-voltage CMOS logic devices. It serves as a standard octal latch solution for general-purpose digital design. The device complements other TI logic components offering similar functionality with varying speed grades or package options.

Latches Replacement Considerations

Check for SN74LV373APWR or SN74LV373ADWR as potential functional equivalents from the same family. Verify pinout compatibility before substituting with different package types. Cross-reference datasheets for identical electrical characteristics and switching speeds.
