SN74AHC373PWRE4

The SN74AHC373PWRE4 is a type of programmable logic device that belongs to the latch family. It is used to store and retrieve information, and is a commonly used item in both consumer level and industrial level applications. As part of the AHC series, it is designed to provide greater performance than standard ECL style parts. In addition to its good performance, it is also power efficient, making it a desirable choice for many applications.

Application Field

This device is commonly used in applications where information needs to be stored and relative security is important. For consumer level use, the SN74AHC373PWRE4 is ideal for storage devices for consumer electronic equipment such as digital video recorders, set top boxes and playing cards. In industry, it is a common choice for automotive systems, medical and medical devices, industrial control and automation systems.

The latch is also often used as a back-up storage device for larger systems, for instance, as a back-up to a RAID system or a backup to a SAN storage.

Working Principle

The SN74AHC373PWRE4 latch works by taking an input voltage or current and transferring it to the output line. This information is then stored until the current on the input line is changed. The latch can be reset and the data can then be recalled, effectively making the latch "latched".

The device is also designed to provide a high degree of noise immunity, making it suitable for use in noisy or industrial environments.

The SN74AHC373PWRE4 latch is designed for use with TTL-style logic devices. These devices enable not only the storage of data, but also the display of data, providing the user with the capability to make modifications or control the stored data.

Conclusion

The SN74AHC373PWRE4 latch is a popular device choice for applications where information needs to be stored and where noise immunity is a priority. This device is used in both consumer and industrial applications, and is a great choice for those needing both power efficiency and good performance. As part of the AHC series of latches, it provides greater performance and noise immunity than standard ECL latches.
