The 74LVC573ATTR is an integrated circuit (IC) component that belongs to the 74LVC series of low-voltage CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) logic devices. It is an octal transparent latch with 3-state outputs, designed for wide voltage operation and enhanced performance. Here is an overview of its key features:
1. Functionality: The 74LVC573ATTR is an 8-bit transparent latch, meaning it can latch and store data. The latch is transparent, enabling the input data to pass through when the latch enable (LE) input is low, and get latched when LE is high. This attribute allows the IC to act as a memory element, holding the input data until it changes or is modified.
2. 3-State Outputs: The IC has 3-state outputs, which means that each latch output can be individually enabled or disabled. When the output enable (OE) input is low, the latch outputs are active and reflect the stored data. However, when OE is high, the outputs are in a high-impedance state, making them effectively disconnected from the rest of the circuit. This feature is useful for implementing bus-oriented systems where multiple devices share a common data bus.
3. Wide Voltage Operation: The 74LVC573ATTR is designed to operate at low voltage levels, typically between 1.65V and 5.5V
