Product details
Overview
74HC373PW-Q100 from Nexperia is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified octal D-type transparent latch with 3-state outputs, designed for automotive bus interfacing. It operates from 2.0 V to 6.0 V, features independent latch enable (LE) and output enable (OE) controls, and delivers propagation delay as low as 12 ns at VCC = 6.0 V - enabling reliable data latching in engine control units and ADAS domain controllers.
For engineers reviewing the 74HC373PW-Q100 datasheet, 74HC373PW-Q100 pinout, 74HC373PW-Q100 application, or 74HC373PW-Q100 equivalent, this device supports high-noise- immunity digital interfacing in temperature-critical automotive subsystems where precise timing control, bus isolation, and latch transparency during LE HIGH are required.
Technical Context
The 74HC373PW-Q100 implements eight independent D-type latches with synchronous transparent operation: when LE is HIGH, Qn follows Dn in real time; when LE transitions LOW, the input state is captured and held. Its 3-state outputs are controlled solely by OE (active LOW), decoupled from latch state - allowing bus sharing without disturbing stored data.
Input clamping diodes support interface to voltages exceeding VCC via current-limiting resistors. CMOS-level inputs (74HC variant) ensure compatibility with 3.3 V/5 V logic families, while AEC-Q100 qualification guarantees operation from −40 °C to +125 °C and robustness against latch-up (>100 mA per JESD78 Class II Level B).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply voltage range | 2.0 V to 6.0 V - enables direct use across 3.3 V and 5 V automotive domains without level shifting. |
| Propagation delay (Dn→Qn) | 12 ns (typ) at VCC = 6.0 V, CL = 50 pF - ensures tight timing margins in high-speed microcontroller peripheral buses. |
| Output drive strength | ±7.8 mA at VCC = 4.5 V - sufficient to drive standard TTL loads and multiple CMOS inputs on shared data buses. |
| Input voltage thresholds | VIH = 4.2 V (min), VIL = 1.8 V (max) at VCC = 6.0 V - provides >1.2 V noise margin under worst-case supply and temperature. |
| Quiescent supply current | 8.0 μA (typ) at VCC = 6.0 V - minimizes standby power in always-on vehicle modules. |
| ESD protection | HBM >2000 V, CDM >1000 V - meets automotive system-level ESD robustness requirements without external protection. |
| Operating temperature | −40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood and transmission control applications per AEC-Q100 Grade 1. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP20 package (SOT360-1): 20-pin thin shrink small outline, 4.4 mm body width, 0.65 mm pitch, side-wettable flanks for AOI-compatible solder joint inspection.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OE) | 3-state output enable | Active LOW control - asserts high-impedance on all Q0–Q7 outputs regardless of latch state. |
| 2 (VCC) | Positive supply | Primary power rail; supports 2.0–6.0 V operation with internal regulation tolerance. |
| 3–4, 7–8, 13–14, 17–18 (D0–D7) | Data inputs | Eight asynchronous inputs directly sampled when LE is HIGH; clamped for overvoltage resilience. |
| 5, 6, 9, 12, 15, 16, 19 (Q0–Q7) | Latched outputs | Non-inverting 3-state outputs; retain last-latched value when LE is LOW and OE is HIGH. |
| 10 (GND) | Ground reference | 0 V return path for all internal circuitry and I/O; decoupling capacitor placement critical for noise immunity. |
| 11 (LE) | Latch enable | Active HIGH control - enables transparency (LE HIGH) or captures Dn (LE HIGH→LOW edge). |
| 20 (VCC) | Positive supply | Redundant VCC connection for improved power integrity in high-frequency switching. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for automotive use from −40 °C to +125 °C with extended reliability testing including HTOL and TC. |
| Independent LE and OE controls | Enables concurrent data capture (via LE) and bus release (via OE), supporting multi-master arbitration schemes. |
| CMOS-level input compatibility | VIH/VIL thresholds track VCC - eliminates need for external level shifters when interfacing with 3.3 V MCUs. |
| Clamp diode protected inputs | Allows safe connection to 12 V or CAN transceiver bias rails using series current-limiting resistors. |
| Low dynamic power dissipation | CPD = 45 pF per latch - limits switching power to <1 mW at 1 MHz with 50 pF load, reducing thermal load in dense PCB layouts. |
Applications
| Engine Control Unit (ECU) Interface | Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) Sensor Hub |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal transparent latch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74HCT373PW-Q100 | TTL-compatible inputs (VIH = 2.0 V min at VCC = 4.5 V); identical timing and packaging. | Better suited for legacy 5 V systems with mixed TTL/CMOS logic; slightly higher ICC at VCC = 5.5 V. | Select when interfacing with older 5 V microcontrollers or FPGAs lacking CMOS-level input thresholds. |
| SN74LVC373APWREP | 3.3 V only (1.65–3.6 V), lower VCC max, faster tpd (5.2 ns typ), different pinout (OE on pin 19, LE on pin 11). | Optimized for modern low-voltage automotive infotainment SoCs; not AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified. | Choose for cost-sensitive 3.3 V designs where AEC-Q100 Grade 1 is not mandated and layout space is constrained. |
Compared with 74HCT373PW-Q100, the HC variant offers superior noise immunity in mixed-signal environments; versus SN74LVC373APWREP, it trades speed for broader voltage flexibility and full automotive qualification - critical for powertrain and safety-related subsystems.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the 74HC373PW-Q100?
The 74HC373PW-Q100 is not a clocked register but a transparent latch - its effective data rate depends on LE pulse width and propagation delay. Minimum LE pulse width is 14 ns at VCC = 6.0 V, supporting latch rates up to ~35 MHz in ideal conditions. System-level timing must account for setup/hold times (tsu = 9 ns, th = +5 ns at VCC = 6.0 V) and bus loading.
Can OE and LE be tied together for simplified control?
No - OE and LE serve independent functions and must not be shorted. LE controls data capture (HIGH = transparent, LOW = hold), while OE controls output impedance (LOW = active, HIGH = high-Z). Tying them would prevent simultaneous latching and bus release, violating the device's intended bus-oriented operation and risking contention.
Does the 74HC373PW-Q100 support hot insertion or live bus swapping?
No - the device lacks hot-swap protection circuitry. Applying VCC before GND, or connecting to a live bus while unpowered, may exceed absolute maximum ratings (e.g., VI > VCC + 0.5 V), triggering input clamp conduction and potential damage. Power sequencing per manufacturer guidelines is mandatory.
How does the TSSOP20 package (SOT360-1) compare thermally to SO20?
The TSSOP20 package has a thermal resistance θJA of ~100 K/W (vs. ~120 K/W for SO20), due to thinner mold compound and enhanced pad exposure. Its Ptot derates at 10.0 mW/K above 100 °C - meaning at 125 °C ambient, usable power drops to ~250 mW. Use recommended copper pour and thermal vias for sustained 35 mA output loading.
