PI74FCT2373ATQ

The PI74FCT2373ATQ is a device integrating the functionalities of a buffer, a latch, and a primary clock driver. It is designed for simple two-level encoded systems, with functions for data stored into one latch, and then shift by the clock. It is suitable for bus-oriented design and as a part of network applications.

The PI74FCT2373ATQ is a type of logic latch. A logic latch is a key component of digital logic circuits that ‘latches’ a signal so that the signal may be retained despite the input which is applied to it. This helps to keep the outputs of circuits stable even when their inputs may be changing. Logic latches can be implemented with a variety of technologies, including discrete components, integrated circuits, and FPGAs. Logic latches are versatile components, and can be utilized for various types of design.

The PI74FCT2373ATQ features a latch which can store information, a clock input which can shift the contents of the latch with a system clock, and a data output driver to transmit the stored information to other devices. This allows the PI74FCT2373ATQ to be used as a synchronizer in loading, gate, and arbitration applications. It also has an open-collector outputs that allow to control data flow in an asynchronous design. These features make the PI74FCT2373ATQ suitable for a variety of applications.

The latch in the PI74FCT2373ATQ is composed of two latches. The first latch is the load register, which is used to store the data that is being loaded from the asynchronous inputs. The second latch is the shift register, which is used to shift the data from the load register when it receives a clock pulse. The data is shifted by one cell each time there is a rising edge of the clock signal; if no pulse is received, the data in the load register remains unchanged. The data from the shift register is then outputted from the data output driver to other devices.

In conclusion, the PI74FCT2373ATQ is an integrated circuit with a latch, clock, and primary output driver, which can be used in data loading, gate arbitration, and shift-register applications. It is a type of logic latch, which is a versatile component that is used in digital logic circuits and can be implemented with a variety of technologies. Its dual latch design enables data to be stored and shifted, while the open-collector outputs allow the PI74FCT2373ATQ to control data flow in an asynchronous design. The PI74FCT2373ATQ is therefore ideal for high-speed and low-power applications.
