Product details
Overview
74AHCT573PW,118 from Nexperia is an octal D-type transparent latch with 3-state outputs, designed for bus interface and data buffering in 5 V TTL-level systems. It features independent latch enable (LE) and output enable (OE) controls, overvoltage-tolerant inputs up to 5.5 V, and operates across –40 °C to +125 °C. Key confirmed parameters: propagation delay ≤7.0 ns (VCC = 5 V, CL = 15 pF), supply range 4.5–5.5 V, input threshold VIH = 2.0 V (TTL-compatible), and 20-pin TSSOP package.
For engineers reviewing the 74AHCT573PW,118 datasheet, 74AHCT573PW,118 pinout, 74AHCT573PW,118 application, or 74AHCT573PW,118 equivalent, this device serves as a high-speed, low-power latching buffer for microcontroller address/data buses, FPGA I/O expansion, and industrial control backplanes where level translation and bus isolation are required.
Technical Context
The 74AHCT573PW,118 implements eight independent D-type latches with transparent operation when LE is HIGH and edge-triggered capture on LE HIGH-to-LOW transition. Its TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V, VIL = 0.8 V at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V) ensure reliable interfacing with legacy 5 V logic families.
Outputs drive ±8 mA at VCC = 4.5 V with VOL ≤ 0.36 V and VOH ≥ 3.94 V, and enter high-impedance state within 11.0 ns of OE assertion. Input clamping and ESD protection (HBM > 2000 V, CDM > 1000 V) support robust operation in noisy industrial environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Family | 74AHCT - TTL-input CMOS-output, enabling direct replacement of 74LS devices with lower power and higher noise immunity |
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures compatibility with standard 5 V systems while rejecting supply ripple up to ±0.5 V |
| Propagation Delay (tpd) | ≤7.0 ns @ VCC = 5 V, CL = 15 pF - supports 100+ MHz bus clocking in transparent mode |
| Output Drive Strength | ±8 mA @ VCC = 4.5 V - sufficient to drive 50 Ω transmission lines or fan-out of 10 LS-TTL loads |
| Operating Temperature | –40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive modules and industrial motor drives |
| Input Overvoltage Tolerance | Up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC - allows safe interfacing between mixed-voltage subsystems without external level shifters |
| ESD Rating | HBM > 2000 V, CDM > 1000 V - exceeds JEDEC JS-001/JS-002 Class 2/C3 requirements for assembly-line handling |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP20 plastic thin shrink small outline package (SOT360-1), 20 leads, body width 4.4 mm, 0.65 mm pitch, exposed pad not electrically connected.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OE) | Output Enable (active LOW) | Asserting LOW enables Q0–Q7 outputs; HIGH forces all outputs into high-impedance state without affecting internal latch state |
| 2–9 (D0–D7) | Data Inputs | Asynchronous inputs accepting TTL-level signals; overvoltage tolerant to 5.5 V independent of VCC |
| 10 (GND) | Ground Reference | 0 V return path for all internal circuitry and output drivers; decoupling capacitor must be placed adjacent to this pin |
| 11 (LE) | Latch Enable (active HIGH) | HIGH enables transparent mode; HIGH-to-LOW edge captures D0–D7 values into internal latches |
| 12–19 (Q0–Q7) | 3-State Outputs | Reflect latched Dn values when OE = LOW; tri-state when OE = HIGH; capable of driving 50 Ω loads |
| 20 (VCC) | Supply Voltage | Primary power rail (4.5–5.5 V); requires local 100 nF ceramic decoupling between pins 10 and 20 |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| TTL-Compatible Inputs | VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V - eliminates need for external level translators when interfacing with 74LS or microcontroller GPIO |
| Overvoltage-Tolerant I/O | Inputs withstand 5.5 V regardless of VCC setting - enables safe hot-swap and mixed-supply board designs |
| Low Propagation Skew | tpd variation ≤1.5 ns across all 8 channels - ensures deterministic timing in parallel bus applications |
| High Noise Immunity | Input hysteresis via Schmitt-trigger action - rejects <1.5 ns glitches and improves signal integrity in EMI-prone environments |
| Thermal-Enhanced Package | TSSOP20 (SOT360-1) with 10.0 mW/K derating above 100 °C - supports sustained operation at full speed in compact enclosures |
Applications
| Microcontroller Bus Interface | FPGA I/O Expansion |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Isolating and latching 8-bit address/data bus between an ARM Cortex-M4 MCU and external SRAM or peripheral IC. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Acts as bidirectional transparent latch during bus cycles; captures address on LE edge and holds it stable during memory access. Use Value: Enables single-cycle bus sharing without wait states; 7.0 ns tpd ensures setup/hold margins remain intact at 80 MHz bus clocks. |
Use Scenario: Extending limited FPGA GPIO count to drive multiple LED arrays, relays, or sensor interfaces in industrial PLC modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides synchronized, glitch-free output staging from FPGA fabric to external loads using shared OE control. Use Value: Eliminates FPGA pin contention; 8 mA drive strength directly powers LEDs or drives optocouplers without external transistors. |
| Industrial Backplane Buffer | Legacy System Upgrade |
Use Scenario: Buffering and isolating 8-bit control signals across a 200 mm PCB backplane in motor drive cabinets subject to 2 kV EFT bursts. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Latches command bits from master controller and presents them to slave modules via shielded differential pairs. Use Value: HBM > 2000 V and latch hold time ≥1.5 ns prevent metastability during EMC events; TSSOP package minimizes board area. |
Use Scenario: Replacing obsolete 74LS373 latches in aging test equipment while retaining identical PCB footprint and firmware. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Drop-in functional replacement with identical pinout, logic behavior, and timing sequence (LE/OE polarity). Use Value: Reduces power consumption by 85% vs. 74LS373 at 5 V; eliminates need for heat sinks due to 4.0 μA ICC standby current. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal transparent latch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74AHC573PW,118 | CMOS-input version; VIH = 3.85 V @ VCC = 5.5 V; wider supply range (2.0–5.5 V) | Suitable for mixed-voltage domains (e.g., 3.3 V MCU controlling 5 V peripherals) | Select when interfacing with CMOS logic or requiring dual-supply flexibility |
| SN74HCT573PWR | TI part; identical TTL input thresholds but higher ICC (max 80 μA vs. 40 μA at 125 °C); same TSSOP-20 package | Valid for TI-centric BOMs; slightly higher thermal load in high-density layouts | Prefer when existing TI qualification or sourcing agreements apply |

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the 74AHCT573PW,118 in transparent mode?
The device does not operate on a clock signal; instead, its maximum usable data rate depends on propagation delay and system timing margins. With tpd ≤ 7.0 ns (VCC = 5 V, CL = 15 pF), it supports reliable transparent operation up to 100 MHz bus frequencies when combined with ≥3.5 ns setup/hold times and proper PCB layout.
Can the 74AHCT573PW,118 be used with a 3.3 V supply?
No - the 74AHCT573 variant is specified only for 4.5 V to 5.5 V operation. Using 3.3 V violates recommended conditions and results in undefined input thresholds (VIH/VIL) and degraded output drive. For 3.3 V systems, select the 74AHC573PW,118 variant instead.
Is the exposed thermal pad on the TSSOP20 package electrically connected?
No - the exposed pad in SOT360-1 is a mechanical thermal enhancement feature only. Nexperia documentation explicitly states it has no electrical function and may be left floating or connected to GND if soldered, but no electrical connection is required or implied.
How does the latch enable (LE) timing interact with data input transitions?
Data at D0–D7 is passed directly to Q0–Q7 only while LE is HIGH (transparent mode). On the HIGH-to-LOW transition of LE, the device samples and holds the input values present one setup time (tsu = 3.5 ns) before the edge. Inputs changing within th = 1.5 ns after the edge cause metastability and must be avoided.
