DM74ALS373WM is an Integrated Circuit (IC) component that belongs to the 74ALS family. This device is an octal transparent latch with 3-state outputs, designed for general-purpose storage or as a buffer for driving highly capacitive or low-impedance loads. Here are some key features and specifications of the DM74ALS373WM IC component:
1. Octal Transparent Latch: The IC consists of eight transparent latches with separate D-type inputs and 3-state outputs. Each latch can capture data at the input when the latch enable (LE) input is high and store it when the LE input is low.
2. 3-State Outputs: The 3-state outputs of the IC provide flexibility to control the flow of data from the inputs to outputs. When the output enable (OE) input is high, the outputs are in high-impedance state (disconnected from the chip), and when the OE input is low, the outputs reflect the stored data.
3. Edge-Triggered Operation: The IC operates on the basis of positive-edge triggering. When the latch enable (LE) transitions from high to low, the data on the D inputs gets stored in the corresponding latch.
4. TTL-Compatible Inputs: The IC has TTL-compatible inputs, which means it accepts standard TTL logic levels (0V and 5V) on its inputs. This makes it compatible with a wide range of digital circuit designs
