DESCRIPTION/ORDERING INFORMATION

This octal transparent D-type latch is designed for 1.65-V to 3.6-V VCC operation.

The SN74ALVCH373 is particularly suitable for implementing buffer registers, I/O ports, bidirectional bus drivers,

and working registers. While the latch-enable (LE) input is high, the Q outputs follow the data (D) inputs. When

LE is taken low, the Q outputs are latched at the logic levels set up at the D inputs.

A buffered output-enable (OE) input can be used to place the eight outputs in either a normal logic state (high or

low logic levels) or the high-impedance state. In the high-impedance state, the outputs neither load nor drive the

bus lines significantly. The high-impedance state and increased drive provide the capability to drive bus lines

without interface or pullup components.

OE does not affect the internal operations of the latches. Old data can be retained or new data can be entered

while the outputs are in the high-impedance state.

To ensure the high-impedance state during power up or power down, OE should be tied to VCC through a pullup

resistor; the minimum value of the resistor is determined by the current-sinking capability of the driver.

Active bus-hold circuitry holds unused or undriven inputs at a valid logic state. Use of pullup or pulldown resistors

with the bus-hold circuitry is not recommended.
