Frequently Asked Questions

How does the CD74HCT173MG4 dual output enable feature simplify bidirectional bus designs?

The CD74HCT173MG4 provides two independent output enable pins that can be combined to gate all 4 output bits simultaneously into a high-impedance state. This 3-state control allows multiple devices to share a common 4-bit data bus at 5V without bus contention, reducing the need for external bus buffers and simplifying PCB routing in microprocessor memory interface designs operating up to 13MHz.

Is CD74HCT173MG4 compatible with both TTL and CMOS logic levels in a mixed 3.3V/5V system?

Yes, the HCT family of the CD74HCT173MG4 accepts TTL-level inputs with VIH as low as 2V, making it fully compatible with 5V TTL outputs as well as 3.3V CMOS drivers. Its output swings to within millivolts of the 5V rail, so 5V peripherals see valid logic levels without level translators. This makes it a drop-in bridge between CMOS microcontrollers and 5V bus logic in industrial and embedded control boards.

For a 4-bit data latch in a PLC I/O module running at 10MHz, why choose CD74HCT173MG4 over an HCT374?

The CD74HCT173MG4 includes a synchronous master reset and dual output enable, which the HCT374 lacks. In a PLC I/O module, the master reset allows all 4 bits to be cleared on a clock edge without bus disruption, and dual enable control gives finer output gating granularity. At 10MHz — well within its 13MHz maximum — the device maintains reliable setup and hold margins, making it preferable where per-clock reset capability is required.

What load capacitance does CD74HCT173MG4 support and how does it affect signal integrity?

The CD74HCT173MG4 is characterized for a 50pF load capacitance per output, which covers most PCB trace and bus capacitances in a 16-pin SOIC layout. Exceeding 50pF increases propagation delay beyond the datasheet-specified values and can degrade signal edges at 13MHz clock rates. Designers should keep output traces short or add series termination resistors of 22-33 ohm when driving longer traces or multiple receiving inputs in parallel.
