The 74HC373D is an integrated circuit (IC) component that belongs to the 74HC logic family, which is known for its high-speed operation and low power consumption. It is an Octal D-type transparent latch with 3-state outputs. Here are some key features and characteristics of the 74HC373D:
1. Octal D-Type Latch: The IC has eight D-type flip-flops with separate data inputs (Dn) and outputs (Qn). These latch the data present on the data inputs when the latch enable input (LE) is high and the output enable input (OE) is low.
2. Transparent Operation: When the latch enable (LE) input is high, the data inputs (Dn) are transferred to the outputs (Qn) on the positive edge of the clock signal (CP). This feature allows real-time data storage and synchronization.
3. 3-State Outputs: The IC includes 3-state outputs, controlled by the output enable (OE) input. When the OE input is low, the outputs are active, allowing data to be transmitted. When the OE input is high, the outputs are in a high-impedance state, effectively disconnecting them from any load.
4. Voltage Compatibility: The 74HC373D is designed to operate on a wide range of voltages, from 2V to 6V. This makes it compatible with both 3
