Product details
Overview
74ABT373AD,112 from NXP Semiconductors (formerly Philips) is an octal transparent latch with 3-State outputs, designed for bus interface and data buffering in 5V TTL-compatible systems. It features 8-bit latching, active-High enable (E), active-Low output enable (OE), ±64mA/–32mA drive capability, and operates from –40°C to +85°C in a 20-pin SO package.
For engineers reviewing the 74ABT373AD,112 datasheet, 74ABT373AD,112 pinout, 74ABT373AD,112 application, or 74ABT373AD,112 equivalent, key selection criteria include propagation delay (≤5.1 ns), 3-State output control independence, power-up reset behavior, latch transparency timing, and compatibility with heavily loaded buses and MOS microprocessors.
Technical Context
The 74ABT373AD,112 implements two independent control domains: latch operation governed by active-High E input (with setup/hold timing), and output state controlled by active-Low OE - enabling simultaneous latching and output disabling. Its BiCMOS architecture delivers high-speed performance with low static/dynamic power dissipation.
It supports live insertion/extraction and includes latch-up protection (>500 mA per JEDEC Std 17) and ESD protection (>2000 V HBM, >200 V MM). Power-up 3-State and power-up reset ensure defined initial states during system initialization without external circuitry.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures robust operation across industrial 5V rail tolerances |
| Propagation Delay (D→Q) | Max 5.1 ns at VCC = 5.0 V - enables high-throughput data capture in fast bus cycles |
| Output Drive | +64 mA sink / –32 mA source - drives heavy capacitive loads and multiple TTL inputs |
| Input Capacitance | 4 pF - minimizes loading on upstream drivers and preserves signal integrity |
| Quiescent ICCZ | 100 µA (outputs disabled) - reduces standby power in 3-State-bus architectures |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial ambient environments without derating |
Pinout & Package
74ABT373AD,112 is housed in a 20-pin plastic small outline package (SO), SOT163-1, with 7.5 mm body width and standard 1.27 mm pitch. Pin 1 is OE (active-Low output enable); Pin 11 is E (active-High latch enable); Pins 3–4, 7–8, 13–14, 17–18 are D0–D7 inputs; Pins 2, 5–6, 9, 12, 15–16, 19 are Q0–Q7 outputs; Pin 10 is GND; Pin 20 is VCC.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OE) | Active-Low output enable | Controls all eight 3-State outputs independently of latch state - enables bus sharing without data corruption |
| 11 (E) | Active-High latch enable | Enables transparent data flow from Dn to Qn; stores data on High-to-Low transition - defines latch point timing |
| 3,4,7,8,13,14,17,18 (D0–D7) | Data inputs | Accept parallel data from microprocessor data bus or peripheral interface - TTL-compatible voltage thresholds |
| 2,5,6,9,12,15,16,19 (Q0–Q7) | Data outputs | Drive downstream bus segments or memory address/data lines - high-current 3-State buffers prevent contention |
| 10 (GND) | Ground reference | Common return path for all internal logic and I/O - critical for noise immunity and timing stability |
| 20 (VCC) | Positive supply | 5V nominal supply input - powers BiCMOS core and output stages with specified current limits |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Independent latch & output control | E and OE operate separately - allows latching new data while holding previous outputs in 3-State |
| Power-up 3-State and reset | Outputs enter high-impedance and latch resets on power ramp - prevents bus contention at startup |
| Live insertion/extraction support | ESD and latch-up robustness allow hot-swap in backplane or modular systems without damage |
| High-current 3-State outputs | +64 mA sink capability - drives up to 16 standard TTL loads or long PCB traces |
Applications
| Microprocessor Data Bus Interface | Memory Address Latching |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Interfacing an 8-bit microprocessor data bus to peripheral devices with asynchronous timing. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Transparent latch buffers bidirectional data during read/write cycles; OE isolates bus during idle periods. Use Value: Prevents bus contention and enables clean handshaking between CPU and peripherals using minimal control signals. | Use Scenario: Capturing and holding 8-bit address segments for multiplexed memory decoding. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Latches lower address bits during ALE assertion; maintains stable address while higher bits update. Use Value: Eliminates address skew and ensures reliable memory access timing in 8085/8080-based systems. |
| Industrial I/O Expansion Module | Digital Signal Acquisition Buffer |
Use Scenario: Isolating field-side digital inputs from a central controller's data bus in PLC modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Latches sensor status bits; OE disconnects module when not selected - avoids bus loading. Use Value: Enables hot-pluggable I/O cards with deterministic isolation and no software-initiated bus arbitration. | Use Scenario: Temporarily storing parallel ADC output words before serial transfer to a host MCU. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Captures full 8-bit conversion result on clock edge; holds data until ready for readout. Use Value: Resolves timing mismatch between fast ADC conversion and slower host read cycles - eliminates sample loss. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal transparent latch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ABT373N | 20-pin PDIP package; identical AC/DC specs and pinout | Preferred for through-hole prototyping or legacy board rework where SO footprint unavailable | Select when mechanical mounting or hand-soldering requirements favor DIP over SO |
| 74LVX373M | 3.3V-only operation (2.7–3.6V); lower drive (±24mA); different VIL/VIH thresholds | Requires level-shifting in mixed-voltage 5V/3.3V systems; unsuitable for direct 5V bus replacement | Choose only in pure 3.3V designs where lower power and voltage scaling justify redesign |
Compared with SN74ABT373N and 74LVX373M, the 74ABT373AD,112 offers optimal 5V bus compatibility, industrial temperature range, and SO packaging for space-constrained PCBs - making it the preferred choice for new 5V embedded control designs requiring reliability and drop-in availability.

FAQ
What is the function of the OE pin on the 74ABT373AD,112?
The OE (Output Enable) pin on the 74ABT373AD,112 is an active-Low control that independently enables or disables all eight 3-State outputs. When OE is Low, the latched or transparent data appears at Q0–Q7; when OE is High, outputs enter high-impedance state - allowing safe bus sharing without contention. This functionality is fully documented in the 74ABT373AD,112 datasheet's FUNCTION TABLE and PIN DESCRIPTION sections.
Does the 74ABT373AD,112 support live insertion into a powered system?
Yes, the 74ABT373AD,112 supports live insertion and extraction due to its built-in ESD protection (>2000 V HBM, >200 V MM) and latch-up immunity (>500 mA per JEDEC Std 17). These features are explicitly verified in the 74ABT373AD,112 product specification and make it suitable for modular backplane and hot-swap I/O applications - a key design advantage confirmed in the FEATURES section.
What is the maximum propagation delay for the 74ABT373AD,112 under industrial conditions?
The maximum propagation delay (Dn to Qn) for the 74ABT373AD,112 is 5.1 ns at VCC = 5.0 V ±0.5 V and Tamb = –40°C to +85°C, as specified in the AC CHARACTERISTICS table. This value reflects worst-case timing across the full operating temperature and voltage range - critical for timing budgeting in high-speed 5V bus designs using the 74ABT373AD,112.
How does the 74ABT373AD,112 handle power-up sequencing?
The 74ABT373AD,112 incorporates power-up 3-State and power-up reset features: outputs default to high-impedance, and the latch initializes to a known state upon VCC ramp. This behavior prevents bus contention and undefined logic states during system startup - a guaranteed characteristic validated in the 74ABT373AD,112 DC ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS and DESCRIPTION sections.
Is the 74ABT373AD,112 pin-compatible with other 74-series octal latches?
The 74ABT373AD,112 shares the same 20-pin SO footprint and pinout as the SN74ABT373N (PDIP) and 74ABT373AD,118 (same SO package), but differs from non-ABT variants like 74LS373 in drive strength, speed, and input thresholds. Pin compatibility is confirmed in the PIN CONFIGURATION diagram and ORDERING INFORMATION table of the 74ABT373AD,112 datasheet - ensuring mechanical and logical interoperability within the ABT family.
