POST OFFICE BOX 655303 • DALLAS, TEXAS 75265
• Eight Latches in a Single Package
• 3-State Bus-Driving True Outputs
• Full Parallel Access for Loading
• Buffered Control Inputs
• pnp Inputs Reduce dc Loading on Data
Lines
• Package Options Include Plastic
Small-Outline (DW) Packages, Ceramic
Chip Carriers (FK), and Standard Plastic (N)
and Ceramic (J) 300-mil DIPs
These octal transparent D-type latches feature
3-state outputs designed specifically for driving
highly capacitive or relatively low-impedance
loads. They are particularly suitable for
implementing buffer registers, I/O ports,
bidirectional bus drivers, and working registers.
While the latch-enable (LE) input is high, the Q
outputs follow the data (D) inputs. When LE is
taken low, the Q outputs are latched at the logic
levels set up at the D inputs.
A buffered output-enable (OE
) input can be used
to place the eight outputs in either a normal logic
state (high or low) or a high-impedance state. In
the high-impedance state, the outputs neither load
nor drive the bus lines significantly. The
high-impedance state and the increased drive
provide the capability to drive bus lines without
interface or pullup components.
OE
does not affect internal operations of the latches. Old data can be retained or new data can be entered while
the outputs are off.
The SN54ALS373 and SN54AS373 are characterized for operation over the full military temperature range of
–55°C to 125°C. The SN74ALS373A and SN74AS373 are characterized for operation from 0°C to 70°C.
