74HC573

Description

The 74HC573; 74HCT573 is an 8-bit D-type transparent latch with 3-state outputs. The
device features latch enable (LE) and output enable (OE) inputs. When LE is HIGH, data
at the inputs enter the latches. In this condition the latches are transparent, a latch output
will change each time its corresponding D-input changes. When LE is LOW the latches
store the information that was present at the inputs a set-up time preceding the
HIGH-to-LOW transition of LE. A HIGH on OE causes the outputs to assume a
high-impedance OFF-state. Operation of the OE input does not affect the state of the
latches. Inputs include clamp diodes. This enables the use of current limiting resistors to
interface inputs to voltages in excess of VCC.
