Product details
Overview
74LVC373ABQ,115 from Nexperia is an octal D-type transparent latch with 3-state outputs, latch enable (LE) and output enable (OE) controls, 1.2 V to 3.6 V supply operation, 5 V tolerant I/O, and Schmitt-trigger inputs for noise immunity in mixed-voltage digital systems. It serves as a data latching and level-shifting interface between 3.3 V logic and legacy 5 V peripherals in industrial control backplanes.
For engineers reviewing the 74LVC373ABQ,115 datasheet, 74LVC373ABQ,115 pinout, 74LVC373ABQ,115 application, or 74LVC373ABQ,115 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 5 V tolerant I/O capability, IOFF partial power-down protection, -40 °C to +125 °C operating range, and DHVQFN20 thermal-enhanced package for high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The device implements eight independent D-type latches with transparent mode when LE is HIGH and edge-triggered capture on LE HIGH-to-LOW transition. Its dual enable architecture separates data capture (LE) from output drive control (OE), enabling independent timing management of bus loading and data staging.
Schmitt-trigger inputs ensure robust signal integrity with slow-rising signals, while the IOFF circuit actively disables outputs during VCC = 0 V to prevent backflow current-critical for hot-swap and power sequencing in modular systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 1.2 V to 3.6 V - supports low-power battery-operated and mixed-supply systems without level shifters |
| I/O Voltage Tolerance | Up to 5.5 V - enables direct interfacing with 5 V TTL/CMOS devices without external clamping |
| Propagation Delay (D→Q) | 1.5 ns to 8.5 ns at VCC = 3.0–3.6 V - ensures sub-10 ns timing margin for 100 MHz bus handshaking |
| IOFF Leakage | ±10 μA max at VCC = 0 V - guarantees safe isolation during partial power-down sequences |
| Operating Temperature | -40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive modules and industrial motor drives |
| ESD Protection | HBM > 2000 V, CDM > 1000 V - meets IEC 61000-4-2 Level 3 for board-level reliability |
| Power Dissipation | 500 mW max (SOT764-1) - enabled by DHVQFN20 thermal pad for sustained 24/7 operation |
Pinout & Package
DHVQFN20 package (SOT764-1): 2.5 × 4.5 × 0.85 mm body, 20-terminal no-lead quad flat design with exposed thermal pad; optimized for thermal performance and high-density routing in space-constrained applications.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | Reference ground for all I/O and internal logic; must be connected to PCB ground plane |
| 2–9, 12–19 | D0–D7 / Q0–Q7 | Eight bidirectional data lanes: Dn inputs feed latches; Qn outputs reflect stored state or high-Z per OE |
| 10 | LE | Latch Enable (active HIGH) - controls transparency vs. storage mode; synchronous edge capture on HIGH→LOW |
| 11 | OE | Output Enable (active LOW) - independently gates all Qn outputs into high-impedance state without affecting latch contents |
| 20 | VCC | Core supply rail (1.2–3.6 V); requires local 100 nF decoupling adjacent to pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 5 V tolerant I/O | Supports direct connection to 5 V buses without external voltage translators or resistive dividers |
| IOFF partial power-down | Prevents damaging back-current flow when VCC is off but I/O lines remain energized (e.g., hot-swap cards) |
| Schmitt-trigger inputs | Provides ≥0.3 V hysteresis to reject noise on slow-rising control signals like reset or enable lines |
| JEDEC-compliant voltage ranges | Fully specified across JESD8-7A (1.65–1.95 V), JESD8-5A (2.3–2.7 V), and JESD8-C (2.7–3.6 V) |
| Wide temperature grade | Validated from -40 °C to +125 °C - suitable for engine control units and industrial PLCs |

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 | TSSOP20 package (SOT360-1); 4.4 mm body width; 10.0 mW/K thermal derating above 100 °C | Lower thermal performance than DHVQFN20; suited for lower ambient or intermittent duty cycles | Select when board space allows larger footprint and thermal budget permits higher junction temperature rise |
| 74LVC373APW,118 | Same TSSOP20 package; identical electrical specs; different reel packaging and traceability marking | No functional difference; used interchangeably where logistics or lot traceability requirements differ | Choose based on distributor availability and manufacturing line traceability needs, not performance |
Compared with SN74LVC373APWR and 74LVC373APW,118, the 74LVC373ABQ,115 delivers superior thermal resistance (12.9 mW/K derating above 111 °C) and smaller footprint (2.5 × 4.5 mm vs. 4.4 × 6.6 mm), making it optimal for thermally constrained, high-reliability embedded modules.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the 74LVC373ABQ,115?
The 74LVC373ABQ,115 does not operate on a clock signal-it is a transparent latch controlled by level-sensitive LE and OE inputs. Its usable data rate is determined by propagation delay (as low as 1.5 ns) and setup/hold times (2.0 ns su / 1.5 ns h at 3.3 V), supporting reliable operation up to approximately 100 MHz in well-designed bus systems with proper signal integrity.
Can the 74LVC373ABQ,115 be used with a 1.2 V supply and 5 V inputs simultaneously?
Yes. The device is fully specified for VCC = 1.2 V to 3.6 V and accepts input voltages up to 5.5 V regardless of supply level. At 1.2 V VCC, VIH is guaranteed at 1.08 V and VIL at 0.12 V, while 5 V inputs are safely clamped internally-enabling true 1.2 V core logic interfacing with legacy 5 V peripherals.
How does the IOFF feature protect the device during power sequencing?
When VCC = 0 V, the IOFF circuit disables all outputs and presents high-impedance terminals-even if 5 V signals remain present on Dn or Qn pins. This prevents reverse current flow from powered I/O lines into the unpowered VCC rail, eliminating risk of latch-up or damage during hot-plug events or staggered power-up sequences in multi-rail systems.
Is the DHVQFN20 package (SOT764-1) lead-free and RoHS compliant?
Yes. The 74LVC373ABQ,115 in SOT764-1 package is manufactured using lead-free solderable terminations and complies with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and REACH Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006. The package uses standard SnAgCu (SAC305) finish and is compatible with IPC-J-STD-020D moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL1) reflow profiles.
