SN74LVC573ADW – TEXAS INSTRUMENTS

The SN74LVC573ADW is an 8-bit D-type transparent latch with output registers, implemented in low-voltage CMOS technology. It operates from a single 1.65V to 5.5V supply voltage (VCC), offering wide voltage compatibility and simplifying power management in mixed-voltage systems. Each latch features a dedicated enable (EN) pin, allowing individual control over data storage. The device’s transparent nature means data is latched only when EN is low; otherwise, the outputs follow the inputs. Output registers provide glitch-free output transitions._x000D_

Packaged in a space-saving 16-pin WSON (4×4 mm) surface-mount package, it’s ideal for high-density PCB designs. Its low power consumption (typically <1µA in shutdown) makes it suitable for battery-powered applications. The low input capacitance (typically 4pF) minimizes loading effects on driving circuitry. Common applications include data buffering, asynchronous data storage in digital signal processing, and multiplexing/demultiplexing within low-power systems requiring glitch-free operation. The LVC family's high noise immunity and robust ESD protection ensure reliable operation even in harsh environments. Its advantages lie in its flexible enable control, low power, compact size, and wide voltage tolerance, making it a versatile choice for numerous digital logic applications.
