description/ordering information
These 8-bit latches feature 3-state outputs designed specifically for driving highly capacitive or relatively
low-impedance loads. They are particularly suitable for implementing buffer registers, I/O ports, bidirectional
bus drivers, and working registers.
The eight latches of the ’BCT373 devices are transparent D-type latches. While the latch-enable (LE) input is
high, the Q outputs follow the data (D) inputs. When the latch enable is taken low, the Q outputs are latched
at the logic levels that were set up at the D inputs.
A buffered output-enable (OE) input can be used to place the eight outputs in either a normal logic state (high
or low logic levels) or the high-impedance state. In the high-impedance state, the outputs neither load nor drive
the bus lines significantly. The high-impedance state and increased drive provide the capability to drive bus
lines without interface or pullup components.
