Texas Instruments SN74LV8T573-EP Octal Transparent D-Type Latches

Introduction

The Texas Instruments SN74LV8T573-EP is a high-performance octal transparent D-type latch designed for various digital applications. With its ability to handle high capacitive loads and low-impedance outputs, this component is ideal for a range of electronic projects.

Part Description

The SN74LV8T573-EP features 3-state outputs that can drive highly capacitive or relatively low-impedance loads. It operates within a temperature range of -55 to +105°C, making it suitable for both commercial and industrial applications. The latch enables data to be retained when the latch-enable (LE) input is low, while the Q outputs respond to the data (D) inputs when LE is high. This device is particularly useful for implementing bidirectional bus drivers, buffer registers, I/O ports, and working registers.
