What are the key features of CD74HC173PW?

  • 4-bit D-type register with dual output-enable pins for flexible bus interface and tri-state bus-sharing control
  • 3-state outputs rated at 7.8 mA sink current support direct connection to HC-family data buses without buffering
  • HC/UH CMOS family in 16-pin TSSOP delivers high-speed clocking with 50 pF load rating for dense PCB layouts

What is CD74HC173PW used for?

The CD74HC173PW is used as a 4-bit data register and bus interface element in microprocessor memory systems and FPGA peripheral expansion boards, where its dual output-enable pins allow multiple registers to share a common 4-bit data bus without contention. It is also employed in state-machine designs and shift-register chains where registered 3-state outputs are needed to hold and drive parallel data onto shared backplane buses. Its compact TSSOP-16 package suits tight PCB layouts in industrial automation controllers and embedded computing modules.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the dual output-enable feature of the CD74HC173PW facilitate multi-device bus sharing on a 4-bit data bus?

The CD74HC173PW includes two independent output-enable pins that must both be asserted low to activate the 3-state outputs, allowing a wired-AND enable scheme where two control signals must agree before the device drives the bus. This prevents accidental bus contention when multiple CD74HC173PW registers share the same 4-bit data lines, and it simplifies glitch-free handshaking in microprocessor memory-mapped register files with a 7.8 mA output sink capability.

What clock frequency and load conditions can the CD74HC173PW sustain in a cascaded 8-bit or 16-bit register design?

The CD74HC173PW is specified at a 50 pF load capacitance and, within the HC/UH family, typically achieves clock frequencies above 50 MHz at 5 V supply. Cascading two devices to form an 8-bit register is straightforward since both share the same clock and enable signals; the 7.8 mA 3-state output drive is sufficient to charge 50 pF bus capacitance within the required setup-and-hold window for downstream HC logic at standard operating frequencies.

In which embedded-system register-file designs does the TSSOP-16 package of the CD74HC173PW offer a size advantage over a DIP alternative?

The 16-pin TSSOP package of the CD74HC173PW occupies roughly half the PCB area of an equivalent DIP-16 package, which is significant when four or more 4-bit registers must be placed adjacent to a microcontroller in a compact embedded controller module. The surface-mount TSSOP also supports automated pick-and-place assembly in production volumes, reducing per-unit cost compared to manual DIP insertion, while retaining the full 50 pF load and 7.8 mA sink performance of the HC/UH family.
