CD74AC273M96 – TEXAS INSTRUMENTS

The CD74AC273M96 is an 8-bit D-type transparent latch with 3-state outputs, fabricated using advanced CMOS technology. It operates from a single 4.5V to 5.5V power supply, exhibiting a typical propagation delay of 4.5ns at 5V and a maximum clock frequency exceeding 100MHz. The device features a common enable pin, allowing for synchronous loading of all eight latches. Output current sourcing and sinking capabilities are specified at 24mA and 24mA respectively. Packaged in a space-saving 20-pin SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) package, it’s ideal for high-speed data acquisition and buffering applications. Unlike its predecessors lacking 3-state outputs, the CD74AC273M96 offers enhanced bus sharing capabilities, minimizing external circuitry and simplifying system design. Its low power consumption, combined with high-speed operation, makes it particularly suitable for battery-powered portable devices and high-density PCB designs where minimizing component count and maximizing performance are crucial. The 3-state outputs enable easy bus multiplexing and interfacing with other devices, improving system flexibility and reducing component costs. Its low input capacitance further contributes to its high-speed performance.
