The IC component 74LVC373APW/AU118 is a popular octal transparent latch with output tri-state feature. It is a modern, high-speed CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) integrated circuit commonly used in digital electronics. Here is an overview of its key features:
1. Octal Transparent Latch: The IC contains eight independent transparent latches, making it suitable for applications requiring multiple latch functionality.
2. Tri-State Output: Each latch output has a separate control input (OE) that allows the output to be tri-stated, i.e., the output can be disabled and put into high-impedance state when desired.
3. High-Speed Operation: This component operates at high speed, providing efficient latch functionality even in demanding applications.
4. 3.3V to 5V Compatibility: It supports voltage levels ranging from 3.3V to 5V, making it compatible with a wide range of systems.
5. ESD Protection: The IC offers ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) protection on all pins, ensuring safety and reliability during handling and operation.
6. Direct Interface: It allows for direct interfacing with devices operating at low voltage and low power characteristics
