The QS74FCT373CTZ is an integrated circuit (IC) component that belongs to the 74FCT series of high-speed, low-power products developed by Quality Semiconductor Inc. This particular IC is an octal transparent latch with three-state outputs, commonly used in digital systems.
Key features of the QS74FCT373CTZ include:
1. Octal Latch: The IC consists of eight D-type transparent latches with separate input and output controls (G and G\). Each latch can store a single bit of data and is capable of transparently passing the input data to the output when enabled.
2. Three-State Outputs: The three-state outputs (Q\ and Q) provide the flexibility to connect multiple devices together without bus contention. The outputs can be actively driven high, actively driven low, or left in a high-impedance state.
3. High-Speed Performance: The QS74FCT373CTZ is designed for high-speed operation, offering fast propagation delays and setup times. This makes it suitable for applications that require quick data transfer and synchronization.
4. Low Power Consumption: The IC is designed to operate at low power levels, making it energy efficient and suitable for battery-powered or low-power systems. It helps to minimize power dissipation and extends the battery life in portable devices.
5. Wide Operating Voltage Range: The QS74FCT373CTZ supports a wide operating voltage range of 4.5 to 5
