Manufacturer: ['rochester', 'nxp']

series introduction

The 74HC373N is a high-speed CMOS octal transparent latch designed to facilitate data storage and transfer in various digital applications. This versatile component features eight D-type latches that allow for the input data to be transferred to the output when the latch enable (LE) signal is active. Its architecture is optimized for both speed and power efficiency, making it an excellent choice for modern electronic designs.

One of the key features of the 74HC373N is its ability to operate at high speeds, with a propagation delay as low as 15 nanoseconds. This swift performance is complemented by its low power consumption, making it suitable for battery-operated devices where energy efficiency is paramount. The device supports a wide operating voltage range from 2V to 6V, providing flexibility for integration into various systems, whether they are low-voltage microcontroller applications or standard digital circuits.

The design of the 74HC373N emphasizes ease of use and integration. Its standard 20-pin dual in-line package (DIP) form factor allows for straightforward mounting on printed circuit boards (PCBs), facilitating seamless incorporation into both prototyping and production environments. Additionally, the device is equipped with active-low outputs, ensuring compatibility with a wide array of logic families and simplifying interfacing with other digital components.

The 74HC373N is ideal for a multitude of applications, including data buffering, temporary data storage, and interfacing between different logic families. It is particularly advantageous in systems requiring synchronization of data transfer, such as microcontroller-to-peripheral communication, where the latch enables controlled data flow. Industries such as telecommunications, automotive electronics, and consumer electronics extensively utilize the 74HC373N for its robust performance and reliability.

In summary, the 74HC373N combines high-speed operation, low power consumption, and versatile application potential, making it a cornerstone in digital circuit design and a preferred choice among engineers seeking reliable data control solutions.
