The 74FCT2373ATQG8 is a high-performance octal latch with a transparent enable from the 74FCT family of IC components. It is a versatile latch that offers various features for efficient digital circuit design. Some of the key features of this component are described below:
1. Octal Latch: The 74FCT2373ATQG8 consists of eight individual latches, each capable of storing a single bit of data. These latches are interconnected to form an octal latch, providing a compact solution for storing multiple bits of data.
2. Transparent Enable: It features a transparent enable (G) input, which allows the data input to be transparently transferred to the latch output when enabled. This enables real-time storage of data, ensuring synchronized operation with other components in the circuit.
3. Output Control: The component also includes an output enable (OE) input, which controls the tri-state output buffers of each latch. When OE is low, the output buffers are active and drive the outputs based on the stored latch values. When OE is high, the output buffers are disabled, effectively disconnecting the outputs from the internal latches.
4. High-Speed Operation: The 74FCT2373ATQG8 is designed for high-speed operation with a maximum propagation delay of 3.5 nanoseconds (ns) and a minimum pulse width distortion. This makes it suitable for applications requiring fast data transfer and signal propagation
