74FCT2373ATQG

Logic - Latches

The 74FCT2373ATQG is a Quad Non-Inverting D-type Transparent Latches device, which has five main applications, including clocking and data retention, word and byte latching/unlatching, bus sampling, as well as generating shift-clock and shift-register clock signals. Besides that, this device can also be used in multiplexers and displays, demultiplexers, bus comparators and other serial data timing and control logic.

In terms of operation principle, the 74FCT2373ATQG enables direct transparency to input data D and multiplexing of the control and data signals on the four data latches. It can function as a direct means of passing data in transparent and multiplexing modes. The device features a 2-input transparent latch, which allows the inputs to be latched on the rising or falling edge of the clock pulse. This transparent latch also provides a high level of output when enabled. The device also provides an extra level of user flexibility in terms of clocking and data selection. The 74FCT2373ATQG also has a reset function, which initializes all data latches to ‘0’ independent of the clock input signals, and prevents invalid states.

In terms of reliability, all 74FCT2373ATQG parts have undergone on-site testing for superior performance and superior reliability. Additionally, the device provides pin-compatible replacements for S/MS multiplexers, allowing for easy migration from one design to another. The device has a low power consumption compared to its predecessors, and it is also rated for a robust 125C operating temperature.

Conclusion

The 74FCT2373ATQG is an advanced Quad Non-Inverting D-Type Transparent Latches device, which offers numerous applications in multiplexing, clocking and data retention, bus sampling, shift-clocking and other serial data timing and control logic. The device features a 2-input transparent latch, which allows data to be latched on the rising or falling edge of the clock pulse, as well as its own reset function which initializes the data latches to ‘0’. Additionally, the device is rated for a robust 125C operating temperature and features a low power consumption when compared to older designs. Ultimately, the 74FCT2373ATQG is an ideal choice for logic design applications.
