DM74LS373WMX D-Type Transparent Latch 1 Channel 8:8 IC Tri-State 20-SOIC

DM74LS373WMX D-Type Transparent Latch 1 Channel 8:8 IC Tri-State 20--SOIC

The DM74LS373WMX is an 8-bit D-type transparent latch IC with tri-state outputs, housed in a 20-SOIC (Plastic Dual In-line Package). This logic IC is designed to latch and store data, making it useful for data buffering and temporary storage in digital circuits. It features transparent latching functionality, meaning that when the latch enable (LE) signal is active, data from the inputs is continuously passed to the outputs. When the LE signal is inactive, the latch "holds" the input data, ensuring that the outputs retain the last valid data until the latch is enabled again. This IC’s tri-state output capability allows the outputs to enter a high-impedance state when not in use, which is especially important in systems with shared buses or multiple devices, preventing interference when multiple ICs are connected to the same data lines. The DM74LS373WMX is part of the LS (Low Power Schottky) logic family, which delivers fast switching speeds while maintaining low power consumption, making it ideal for high-speed, low-power applications. It is commonly used in memory systems, microprocessor interfaces, and devices requiring temporary data storage or controlled data flow. The DM74LS373WMX is a reliable choice for implementing latching functionality in modern digital designs.
