The MM74HC573SJX is an integrated circuit (IC) component that belongs to the 74HC series of high-speed CMOS logic devices. It is an octal transparent latch with 3-state outputs, primarily used for data storage and transfer applications. Here are the key features and an overview of this particular IC component:
1. Octal Transparent Latch: The MM74HC573SJX contains eight individual transparent latches, each capable of storing a single bit of data. These latches are transparent, meaning the input is directly transferred to the output when the latch enable (LE) signal is high.
2. 3-State Outputs: The IC features 3-state outputs, enabling the latched data to be either outputted actively or can be put in a high-impedance state when the output enable (OE) pin is low. This feature allows for bus sharing and prevents bus contention issues in multi-device systems.
3. High-Speed Operation: The 74HC series is known for its high-speed CMOS technology, which allows the IC to operate at significantly faster speeds compared to older TTL (transistor-transistor logic) devices. The MM74HC573SJX offers fast latch operation, making it suitable for time-critical applications.
4. Wide Operating Voltage Range: This IC component can operate within a wide voltage range of 2-6V, making it compatible with various power supply configurations
