The IC component 74F373SCX is a latch/flip-flop designed for digital applications that require high-speed and low-power consumption. It is a part of the 74F series family, which is known for their high-performance and compatibility with other TTL families.
Key features and characteristics of the 74F373SCX include:
1. Octal D-type transparent latch: The IC consists of eight D-type transparent latches in one package. Each latch has a separate data input (D), output (Q), enable (LE), and clock (CLK) pin. They can operate independently or in parallel.
2. Transparent operation: The transparent latch feature allows data at the inputs (D) to be transferred to the outputs (Q) when the latch enable (LE) is high and the clock (CLK) signal transitions from low to high. This feature enables real-time data transfer.
3. Edge-triggered clock input: The 74F373SCX uses an edge-triggered clock input, which ensures that data is transferred to the outputs only on the rising edge of the clock signal. This allows for synchronous data transfer and eliminates potential issues with intermediate clock states.
4. High-speed operation: The IC is designed to operate at high speeds, typically with a propagation delay of 3.8 ns. This enables efficient data transfer in applications where timing is critical
