The SN74LV373ADBRG4 is an integrated circuit (IC) component designed for use in digital logic circuits. It belongs to the SN74xx family of octal transparent D-type latches with 3-state outputs. This IC is manufactured by Texas Instruments and is widely used in various electronics applications.
Key Features:
1. Octal transparent D-type latch: The SN74LV373ADBRG4 has 8 individual latches, each consisting of a D-type flip-flop and an enable input. The latch allows data to be transparently passed through when the enable input is high.
2. 3-state outputs: This IC features 3-state outputs, allowing the latched data to be tri-stated (disconnected from the output) when the output enable is low. This feature is particularly useful when multiple devices need to share the bus lines.
3. Low-voltage operation: The LV in the part number indicates that the IC operates at low voltage levels. It is designed to work in a voltage range of 1.65V to 5.5V, making it compatible with both 3.3V and 5V digital systems.
4. Schmitt-trigger inputs: The inputs of the SN74LV373ADBRG4 are equipped with Schmitt-trigger circuitry. This allows the IC to have increased noise immunity and better switching performance in the presence of slower input signals or noisy environments
