The SN74LVC573APW is an integrated circuit (IC) component that belongs to the family of 74 series logic. It is designed as an octal transparent D-type latch with 3-state outputs. This IC is commonly used in various digital applications where data should be latched and transferred to the outputs based on a clock signal.
Key Features:
1. Octal Latch: The SN74LVC573APW consists of eight transparent D-type latches, which means each latch can independently store and hold a single bit of information.
2. Transparent Operation: These latches have a transparent input (D) which allows the data to pass through to the output when the latch enable (LE) signal is high. This feature enables the IC to work as a latch or a buffer.
3. 3-State Outputs: The IC offers 3-state outputs, denoted by the output enable (OE) pin. When OE is low, the outputs are active and reflect the stored data. However, when OE is high, the outputs become high impedance, effectively disconnecting them from the rest of the system.
4. Low Voltage Operation: The SN74LVC573APW operates with a supply voltage range of 1.65V to 3.6V. This low voltage range makes it suitable for battery-operated devices or systems that require low power consumption
