Frequently Asked Questions
At what supply voltage and propagation delay does the SN74AHC373DWG4 operate for high-speed bus applications?
The SN74AHC373DWG4 operates from a 2 V to 5.5 V supply voltage. At 3.3 V, typical propagation delay (tpd) is around 5.5 ns with a 50 pF load capacitance, enabling high-speed address latching at frequencies up to 170 MHz. This makes it well-suited for fast data bus and address demultiplexing in embedded processor designs.
How do the 3-state outputs of this latch help in shared-bus microcontroller designs?
The 3-state outputs allow the SN74AHC373DWG4 to disconnect all 8 output pins from the bus when the active-low output enable (OE) is deasserted, presenting a high-impedance state. This enables multiple bus drivers to share a single 8-bit data bus without signal conflicts. Each output can sink 8 mA and source 8 mA, supporting up to 50 pF load capacitance in typical SOIC-20 board designs.
For procurement, how does the SN74AHC373DWG4 compare in package footprint to the TSSOP-20 variant?
The SN74AHC373DWG4 uses a 20-pin SOIC package (DW suffix) with a body width of approximately 7.5 mm and 1.27 mm pin pitch, making it larger than the TSSOP-20 variant at 4.4 mm body width and 0.65 mm pitch. For space-constrained PCBs, the TSSOP-20 (PW suffix) saves about 40% board area, while the SOIC-20 is preferred for easier hand-soldering and rework in prototyping environments.
