Product details
Overview
74LVC373AT20-13 from Diodes Incorporated is an octal transparent D-type latch with 3-state outputs in TSSOP-20 package, operating from 1.65V to 3.6V supply, supporting 5.5V-tolerant inputs and 24mA output drive at 3.0V, used for bus driving and signal isolation in notebook and peripheral interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the 74LVC373AT20-13 datasheet, 74LVC373AT20-13 pinout, 74LVC373AT20-13 application, or 74LVC373AT20-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include latch-enable timing (tSU = 2.0 ns min @ 3.3V), 3-state enable/disable speed (tEN/tDIS = 4.1 ns typ @ 3.3V), IOFF-enabled partial power-down capability, and mixed-voltage interface compatibility.
Technical Context
This device implements eight independent D-type transparent latches with asynchronous 3-state control via separate OE and LE inputs. Latch operation is edge-independent: Q follows D while LE is high, and holds D state when LE transitions low - enabling synchronous data capture without clock edges.
The IOFF circuit disables outputs during power-down to prevent backflow current, and Schmitt-trigger inputs ensure noise immunity on control lines. All I/O pins tolerate up to 5.5V regardless of VCC, allowing direct interfacing with 5V logic while powered from 1.8V or 3.3V rails.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.65V to 3.6V - supports dual-rail systems and low-power portable designs |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | Up to 5.5V - enables direct connection to legacy 5V buses without level shifters |
| Output Drive Strength | ±24mA at VCC = 3.0V - sufficient to drive multiple CMOS loads or short PCB traces |
| IOFF Leakage Current | ±10 µA max - prevents damaging current flow during partial power-down sequences |
| tPD (D→Q) | 3.8 ns typical @ 3.3V - ensures sub-5ns data propagation for high-speed bus buffering |
| tSU (D→LE) | 2.0 ns minimum @ 3.3V - defines minimum setup time before LE assertion for reliable latching |
| ESD Rating (HBM) | 2000V - exceeds JEDEC JESD22-A114, suitable for handling in standard assembly environments |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-20 package (6.4mm × 6.5mm × 1.2mm, 0.65mm pitch) with exposed pad not electrically connected; RoHS-compliant, halogen-free construction.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OE | Active-low 3-state output enable - independent of latch state, allows bus sharing without data corruption |
| 2,5,6,9,12,15,16,19 | Q1–Q8 | Latched output terminals - high-impedance when OE = high, driven low/high when OE = low |
| 3,4,7,8,13,14,17,18 | D1–D8 | Data inputs - transparently passed to Q outputs when LE = high; sampled on LE falling edge |
| 10 | GND | Ground reference - must be connected to system ground plane for stable noise margin and thermal dissipation |
| 11 | LE | Latch-enable control - high enables transparency; low captures and holds D-input state |
| 20 | VCC | Power supply - decoupling capacitor (0.1µF ceramic) required within 5mm of pin for switching noise suppression |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| IOFF Partial Power-Down Support | Enables safe hot-insertion and multi-rail sequencing by disabling outputs when VCC = 0V |
| 5.5V-Tolerant Inputs | Allows direct interfacing with 5V logic families while operating from 1.65–3.6V supplies |
| Schmitt-Trigger Input Buffers | Provides >0.5V hysteresis on LE and OE pins, rejecting noise on slow or noisy control signals |
| Low Dynamic Ground Bounce | VOLP < 0.8V @ 3.3V - minimizes simultaneous switching noise affecting adjacent digital circuits |
| High-Drive 3-State Outputs | 24mA sink/source capability enables direct termination of stubbed bus lines without external resistors |
Applications
| PC Notebook Memory Bus Interface | Industrial PLC I/O Expansion Module |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Isolating DDR memory address/control lines between CPU and memory controller during sleep mode. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Octal latch buffers address bits with synchronized LE control and OE-gated 3-state isolation.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Transparent latch holding control states during USB suspend/resume transitions, with OE enabling shared bus arbitration. Use Value: Sub-5ns tPD ensures timing compliance with USB 2.0 protocol handshake windows; 3-state outputs prevent bus contention during enumeration. |
Use Scenario: Driving LED backlight enable lines from a low-voltage MCU to high-current LED drivers in automotive display clusters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Latching PWM dimming commands and enabling/disabling backlight drivers via OE-controlled 3-state isolation. Use Value: ±24mA drive strength eliminates need for discrete buffer transistors; IOFF protects driver ICs during MCU reset or brown-out events. |
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) | Identical logic function and pinout; slightly higher ICC (max 40µA vs 10µA) and lower tPD (3.5ns typ @ 3.3V) | Same bus-driving use cases; tighter timing margin but higher static power in always-on modules | Select when sub-3.5ns propagation delay is critical and supply current budget allows +30µA increase |
| 74ALVC373PW,118 (Nexperia) | Wider VCC range (1.2–3.6V); lower drive (±24mA only at VCC ≥ 2.7V); no IOFF support | Not suitable for partial power-down systems; requires external isolation for hot-swap scenarios | Choose only for ultra-low-voltage (1.2V) designs where IOFF is unnecessary and timing slack exists |
Compared with SN74LVC373APWR, the 74LVC373AT20-13 offers superior power-down safety via IOFF but trades 0.3ns in tPD; versus 74ALVC373PW, it delivers guaranteed 24mA drive down to 1.65V and essential backflow protection for automotive and industrial power sequencing.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for continuous use?
The 74LVC373AT20-13 is rated for continuous operation from –40°C to +125°C ambient temperature. Junction temperature must remain ≤150°C; with θJA = 74°C/W in TSSOP-20, sustained 24mA output loading at 3.3V requires ≤25°C ambient or forced airflow to avoid thermal derating.
Can OE and LE be tied together for simplified control?
No - OE and LE serve independent functions: LE controls data capture (transparent/latched), while OE controls output driver state (active/high-Z). Tying them eliminates independent bus arbitration and risks metastability during transitions; Diodes recommends separate routing with proper timing margins per the function table.
Does this device support hot-swap insertion into a live 3.3V bus?
Yes - IOFF circuitry actively disables outputs when VCC drops below ~0.8V, preventing backdrive current from bus lines into the device. However, 5.5V-tolerant inputs remain functional during insertion, making it suitable for controlled hot-swap applications with appropriate current-limiting design on OE/LE control lines.
Is the TSSOP-20 package lead-free and RoHS compliant?
Yes - the 74LVC373AT20-13 is fully RoHS 2 compliant (2011/65/EU), totally lead-free, and halogen/antimony free ("Green" per Diodes' AP02001 definition), with bromine/chlorine <900ppm each and antimony <1000ppm in compound form.
