74VHCT373A

Octal D-Type Latch with 3-STATE Outputs

General Description

The VHCT373A is an advanced high speed CMOS octal D-

type latch with 3-STATE output fabricated with silicon gate

CMOS technology. It achieves the high speed operation

similar to equivalent Bipolar Schottky TTL while maintain-

ing the CMOS low power dissipation. This 8-bit D-type

latch is controlled by a latch enable input (LE) and an out-

put enable input (OE). The latches appear transparent to

data when latch enable (LE) is HIGH. When LE is LOW, the

data that meets the setup time is latched. When the OE

input is HIGH, the eight outputs are in a high impedance

state.

Protection circuits ensure that 0V to 7V can be applied to

the input and output (Note 1) pins without regard to the

supply voltage. This device can be used to interface 3V to

5V systems and two supply systems such as battery back

up. This circuit prevents device destruction due to mis-

matched supply and input voltages.

Note 1: Outputs in OFF-State.
