Product details
Overview
74ALVC373PW,118 from Nexperia is an octal D-type transparent latch with 3-state outputs, used for data latching and bus isolation in digital systems. It operates from 1.65 V to 3.6 V, features latch enable (LE) and output enable (OE) controls, supports -40 °C to +125 °C operation, and includes IOFF circuitry for partial power-down protection. It is commonly deployed in microcontroller I/O expansion and memory address/data bus buffering.
For engineers reviewing the 74ALVC373PW,118 datasheet, 74ALVC373PW,118 pinout, 74ALVC373PW,118 application, or 74ALVC373PW,118 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 20-pin TSSOP package, 3.3 ns max propagation delay at 3.3 V, Schmitt-trigger input tolerance, IOFF-enabled power-down safety, and compatibility with mixed-voltage TTL/CMOS interfaces.
Technical Context
This device implements eight independent D-type latches with transparent mode when LE is HIGH and edge-triggered capture on LE HIGH-to-LOW transition. Each latch output drives a 3-state buffer controlled separately by OE (active LOW), enabling bidirectional bus sharing without affecting internal latch state.
Schmitt-trigger inputs tolerate slow signal edges, and the IOFF circuit disables outputs during power-down to prevent backflow current. The design complies with JEDEC standards JESD8-7, JESD8-5, and JESD8C/JESD36 across its full 1.65–3.6 V supply range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.65 V to 3.6 V - Enables direct interface with 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V logic domains without level shifters. |
| Propagation Delay (D→Q) | 3.3 ns max at VCC = 3.3 V - Supports high-speed data capture in sub-100 MHz digital control paths. |
| IOFF Leakage Current | ±10 μA max at VCC = 0 V - Ensures safe bus isolation during hot-swap or partial system power-down. |
| Input Thresholds (VIH/VIL) | VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max at VCC = 3.3 V - Guarantees reliable TTL-level compatibility and noise margin. |
| Output Drive Strength | ±24 mA at VOH/VOL - Sustains robust signal integrity driving 30 pF loads across industrial temperature range. |
| Operating Temperature | -40 °C to +125 °C - Qualified for under-hood automotive modules and industrial PLC I/O stages. |
| ESD Protection | HBM > 2000 V, CDM > 1000 V - Reduces susceptibility to handling damage in automated assembly environments. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP20 plastic thin shrink small outline package (SOT360-1); 20 leads; body width 4.4 mm; 0.65 mm pitch; exposed thermal pad not electrically connected.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OE) | Output Enable | Active LOW control for all 8 outputs; does not affect latch state - enables shared-bus arbitration. |
| 2–9, 12–19 (Q0–Q7) | 3-State Latch Outputs | Tri-state buffered copies of stored D-inputs; high-impedance when OE = HIGH - prevents bus contention. |
| 3–4, 7–8, 13–14, 17–18 (D0–D7) | Data Inputs | Asynchronous inputs sampled when LE = HIGH; Schmitt-triggered for slow-edge immunity. |
| 11 (LE) | Latch Enable | Active HIGH transparency control; HIGH-to-LOW edge captures D-inputs into latches - defines sampling timing. |
| 10 (GND) | Ground Reference | 0 V return path for all signals and power; decoupling capacitor must be placed adjacent to pin 20. |
| 20 (VCC) | Supply Voltage | Primary power rail; requires local 100 nF ceramic decoupling between pins 10 and 20 per JEDEC layout guidelines. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide Supply Range | 1.65–3.6 V operation eliminates need for separate voltage rails in mixed-supply systems. |
| IOFF Partial Power-Down | Outputs disable automatically when VCC = 0 V, preventing back-current in hot-plug or sleep-mode applications. |
| Schmitt-Trigger Inputs | Input hysteresis ≥ 0.5 V at 3.3 V ensures clean switching with noisy or slow-rising control signals (e.g., reset lines). |
| JEDEC Compliance | Fully compliant with JESD8-7 (1.65–1.95 V), JESD8-5 (2.3–2.7 V), and JESD8C/JESD36 (2.7–3.6 V) - guarantees interoperability across voltage bins. |
| Latch-Up Immunity | Exceeds 250 mA per JESD78 Class II.A - withstands transient overvoltage events in industrial environments. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal transparent latch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC373APWR | TI part; identical 20-pin TSSOP; 3.3 V only rated (1.65–3.6 V same), but tpd = 4.2 ns max at 3.3 V vs. 3.3 ns for Nexperia. | Valid for 3.3 V-only designs; lacks extended 1.65 V support for ultra-low-power modes. | Select if TI ecosystem alignment or existing PCB footprint reuse is prioritized over minimal propagation delay. |
| 74LVCH16373ADGG | Nexperia 16-bit version in 48-pin TSSOP; double channel count, same VCC range and IOFF, but larger footprint and higher static current (10 μA vs. 0.2 μA). | Suitable for high-density bus interfaces requiring 16-bit latching; not drop-in for 8-bit layouts. | Choose when expanding to dual-octet data paths without redesigning control logic timing. |
Compared with SN74LVC373APWR, the 74ALVC373PW,118 delivers 0.9 ns faster propagation and guaranteed 1.65 V operation; versus 74LVCH16373ADGG, it offers half the pin count and 5× lower ICC, making it optimal for space-constrained 8-bit I/O expansion.

FAQ
What is the minimum supply voltage required for guaranteed operation of the 74ALVC373PW,118?
The device is fully specified from 1.65 V to 3.6 V per JEDEC JESD8-7. At 1.65 V, VIH is guaranteed at 0.65 × VCC (≥1.07 V), VOL ≤ 0.35 × VCC (≤0.58 V), and tpd ≤ 5.4 ns. Operation below 1.65 V is not characterized and may result in undefined timing or logic behavior.
Can the 74ALVC373PW,118 safely interface with 5 V TTL logic inputs?
Yes - inputs are overvoltage tolerant up to 3.6 V, and VIH is defined down to 0.65 × VCC. When VCC = 3.3 V, VIH = 2.0 V min, which exceeds standard TTL VIH (2.0 V). However, direct connection to 5 V outputs requires external clamping or level-shifting, as absolute maximum input voltage is +4.6 V and sustained 5 V violates limiting values.
How does the IOFF feature behave during system power sequencing?
When VCC drops to 0 V, the IOFF circuit disables all outputs regardless of OE or LE state, limiting OFF-state leakage to ±10 μA max. This prevents back-current flow from powered bus segments into unpowered sections - critical for hot-swap compliance and mixed-rail system reliability.
Is the thermal pad on the TSSOP20 package (SOT360-1) electrically connected?
No - the exposed pad on the 74ALVC373PW,118's SOT360-1 package is not electrically connected to any internal node. Per Nexperia documentation, it may remain floating or be soldered to GND for thermal improvement, but no electrical requirement exists for connection.
