1. General description
The 74LVC373A is an octal D-type transparent latch with 3-state outputs. The device features latch
enable (LE) and output enable (OE) inputs. When LE is HIGH, data at the inputs enter the latches.
In this condition the latches are transparent, a latch output will change each time its corresponding
D-input changes. When LE is LOW the latches store the information that was present at the inputs
a set-up time preceding the HIGH-to-LOW transition of LE. A HIGH on OE causes the outputs to
assume a high-impedance OFF-state. Operation of the OE input does not affect the state of the
latches. Inputs can be driven from either 3.3 V or 5 V devices. This feature allows the use of these
devices as translators in mixed 3.3 V and 5 V environments.
Schmitt-trigger action at all inputs makes the circuit tolerant of slower input rise and fall times.
This device is fully specified for partial power down applications using IOFF. The IOFF circuitry
disables the output, preventing the potentially damaging backflow current through the device when
it is powered down.
