Product details
Overview
74VHCT573AFT from Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation is an octal D-type transparent latch with 3-state outputs, designed for bus interface and data latching in 5 V digital systems. It features TTL-compatible inputs (VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max), 7.7 ns typical propagation delay at VCC = 5.0 V, and operates across -40°C to +125°C - enabling use in automotive body control modules and industrial PLC I/O expansion.
For engineers reviewing the 74VHCT573AFT datasheet, 74VHCT573AFT pinout, 74VHCT573AFT application, or 74VHCT573AFT equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q100 qualification, 3-state output leakage ≤0.1 µA, quiescent ICC ≤4.0 µA, and TSSOP20B package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device implements a silicon gate C²MOS-based octal latch architecture with independent LE (latch enable) and OE (output enable) controls. Its dual-control logic allows transparent data flow when LE is high and latched storage when LE transitions low - while OE independently places all eight outputs into high-impedance state regardless of latch state.
The 74VHCT573AFT supports mixed-voltage interfacing between 3.3 V and 5 V domains via TTL-level input thresholds and rail-to-rail input/output tolerance (0–5.5 V independent of VCC). Built-in power-down protection on all pins prevents damage during hot insertion or supply sequencing mismatches.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Function | Octal D-type transparent latch with 3-state outputs - enables bidirectional bus buffering and data hold in microcontroller peripheral interfaces. |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5–5.5 V - ensures stable operation under automotive battery ripple and industrial 5 V rail variations. |
| Propagation Delay | 7.7 ns (typ.) at VCC = 5.0 V - supports >100 MHz bus timing margins in high-speed control applications. |
| Input Compatibility | TTL-level inputs (VIH ≥ 2.0 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V) - eliminates need for level-shifting circuitry when driving from legacy 5 V logic. |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +125°C - qualified per AEC-Q100 Rev. H for under-hood automotive electronics and industrial motor drives. |
| Quiescent Current | ≤4.0 µA at TA = 25°C - minimizes standby power in always-on vehicle modules and energy-sensitive embedded systems. |
| 3-State Leakage | ≤0.1 µA at VOUT = 5.5 V - prevents signal contention and crosstalk in shared-bus architectures with multiple drivers. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP20B - 20-pin thin shrink small-outline package (4.4 mm × 6.5 mm, 0.65 mm pitch), optimized for automated assembly and thermal performance in dense PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OE) | Output Enable | Active-low control: pulls all Q outputs to high-impedance when high; enables normal output drive when low. |
| 11 (LE) | Latch Enable | Active-high control: enables transparent pass-through of D inputs to Q outputs when high; latches current D values when falling edge occurs. |
| 2–9 (D1–D8) | Data Inputs | Asynchronous parallel inputs accepting TTL-compatible logic levels; tolerate 0–5.5 V regardless of VCC. |
| 12–19 (Q1–Q8) | Tri-State Outputs | Driven outputs reflecting latched D values when OE = low; enter high-Z state when OE = high - enabling bus sharing. |
| 10 (GND) | Ground | Reference return path for all internal logic and I/O circuits; requires low-inductance connection to minimize ground bounce. |
| 20 (VCC) | Supply | Primary 5 V power rail; decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF ceramic) required within 5 mm for noise suppression. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 qualified | Complies with Rev. H stress testing for automotive applications - validated for temperature cycling, HTOL, and ESD robustness. |
| Rail-to-rail I/O tolerance | Inputs/outputs withstand 0–5.5 V independent of VCC - enables safe hot-plug operation and battery-backup scenarios without clamping diodes. |
| Balanced propagation delays | tPLH ≈ tPHL - reduces skew-induced timing violations in synchronous bus transfers across all eight channels. |
| Low dynamic noise | VOLP ≤ 1.5 V - limits ground bounce and crosstalk in multi-latch systems operating at high switching frequencies. |
| PIN- and FUNCTION-compatible | Drop-in replacement for 74ACT/HCT/AHCT573 series - preserves existing PCB layout and firmware logic without redesign. |
