Product details
Overview
M74HCT373RM13TR from STMicroelectronics is a high-speed CMOS octal D-type latch with 3-state non-inverting outputs, designed for bus-oriented data latching in digital systems. It features 8-bit transparent latching controlled by LE (latch enable) and OE (output enable), tPD = 19 ns (typ.) at VCC = 4.5 V, ICC ≤ 4 µA (max.) at TA = 25°C, and TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.0 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V). Used in microprocessor address/data bus buffering and memory interface control.
For engineers reviewing the M74HCT373RM13TR datasheet, M74HCT373RM13TR pinout, M74HCT373RM13TR application, or M74HCT373RM13TR equivalent, key selection criteria include 3-state output timing (tPZL/tPLZ ≤ 45 ns), symmetrical drive strength (|IOH|/IOL ≥ 6 mA), latch enable pulse width (tW(H) ≥ 8 ns min), and TSSOP-20 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The M74HCT373RM13TR implements an 8-bit transparent latch architecture where Q outputs follow D inputs when LE is high, and hold the last D state when LE transitions low. Its dual-control logic (LE for data capture, OE for output tri-state) enables precise bus arbitration in shared-data-path systems.
Designed using sub-micron silicon gate C2MOS technology, it delivers balanced propagation delays (tPLH ≅ tPHL), symmetrical output impedance, and integrated ESD/transient protection on all inputs-ensuring robust operation in industrial-level noise environments without external clamping.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| tPD | 19 ns typical at VCC = 4.5 V - defines maximum data-to-output delay for timing-critical bus handshaking |
| ICC | ≤ 4 µA max at TA = 25°C - enables ultra-low static power in always-on control logic |
| VIL / VIH | 0.8 V max / 2.0 V min - ensures reliable interfacing with standard TTL output stages |
| IOL / IOH | ≥ 6 mA - supports direct driving of multiple CMOS/TTL loads without buffer amplification |
| tW(H) | ≥ 8 ns minimum LE pulse width - sets minimum clock or strobe duration for guaranteed latch capture |
| CPD | 66 pF - used to calculate dynamic supply current (ICC(opr) = CPD × VCC × fIN + ICC/8) |
| Top | −55°C to +125°C - qualified for extended industrial and automotive under-hood applications |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-20 (Thin Shrink Small Outline Package), 0.65 mm pitch, 6.5 mm × 4.4 mm body, lead-free and RoHS-compliant per STMicroelectronics specification.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OE | Active-low 3-state output enable - disables all Q outputs to high-impedance when high |
| 2,5,6,9,12,15,16,19 | Q0–Q7 | Non-inverting latched data outputs - drive bidirectional data buses when OE = low |
| 3,4,7,8,13,14,17,18 | D0–D7 | Data inputs - sampled on LE falling edge and held until next LE transition |
| 11 | LE | Latch enable - Q follows D when high; latches D value on falling edge |
| 10 | GND | Ground reference - must be connected to system 0 V plane for noise immunity |
| 20 | VCC | Positive supply - operates over 4.5–5.5 V; decoupling capacitor required at pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 3-State Output Control | Independent OE input allows dynamic bus release without affecting latch state |
| High-Speed Latching | 19 ns typical propagation delay enables use in 25+ MHz bus cycles |
| TTL-Compatible Inputs | VIH ≥ 2.0 V / VIL ≤ 0.8 V eliminates need for level-shifting with legacy controllers |
| ESD Protection | Integrated input protection circuits withstand ±2 kV HBM per JESD22-A114 |
| Wide Temperature Range | Specified from −55°C to +125°C supports deployment in harsh environmental enclosures |
Applications
| Microprocessor Bus Interface | Memory Address Latching |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Isolating and holding address/data lines between CPU and peripheral ICs during multi-cycle transactions. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Acts as transparent latch during LE high, then holds stable address while data transfers occur. Use Value: Eliminates bus contention by enabling clean separation of address setup and data transfer phases. | Use Scenario: Capturing row/column addresses for DRAM or SRAM access in embedded controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Latches multiplexed address bits before memory decoding and enables 3-state release post-access. Use Value: Reduces pin count on MCU while maintaining full parallel memory bandwidth. |
| Industrial I/O Expansion | Test Equipment Signal Conditioning |
Use Scenario: Buffering and isolating GPIO signals in PLC modules with hot-swap capability. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides latch-controlled output staging and OE-gated bus disconnection during firmware updates. Use Value: Prevents spurious output transitions during configuration changes, improving system reliability. | Use Scenario: Synchronizing and holding test pattern vectors in automated test equipment (ATE) stimulus boards. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Captures parallel digital patterns from FPGA sequencers and presents stable outputs to DUT pins. Use Value: Ensures deterministic signal timing with <45 ns output enable/disable skew across all 8 channels. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal latch with 3-state output applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74HCT373PW | TSSOP-20, identical AC/DC specs, TI's characterization includes tighter VCC = 4.75–5.25 V range | Same bus-interface role; minor timing variance (<2 ns) in tPLH at 5 V | Select when sourcing from TI-authorized channels or requiring TI-specific qualification reports |
| 74VHC373FT | Smaller CPD (50 pF vs. 66 pF), higher VCC max (5.5 V), but lower IOL (4 mA vs. 6 mA) | Lower power in high-frequency operation, but reduced drive margin for heavy bus loads | Prefer for battery-powered instrumentation where dynamic current dominates total power budget |
Compared with SN74HCT373PW and 74VHC373FT, the M74HCT373RM13TR offers superior output drive (6 mA), broader temperature support (−55°C to +125°C), and STMicroelectronics' long-term industrial lifecycle commitment-making it optimal for mission-critical embedded control.

FAQ
What is the recommended decoupling capacitor for M74HCT373RM13TR?
A 100 nF ceramic capacitor placed within 3 mm of VCC (pin 20) and GND (pin 10) is required per STMicroelectronics layout guidelines. This minimizes switching noise-induced ground bounce and ensures stable 3-state transitions under 6 mA load conditions.
Can M74HCT373RM13TR operate at 3.3 V?
No. The device is specified only for VCC = 4.5–5.5 V per its Recommended Operating Conditions table. At 3.3 V, VIH/VIL thresholds are not met, and output drive falls below 6 mA-risking logic misreads and bus contention.
Is the M74HCT373RM13TR pin-compatible with older DIP-20 versions?
Yes-pinout and logic function are identical to M74HCT373B1R (DIP) and M74HCT373M1R (SO-20). Only package dimensions and thermal characteristics differ; no PCB redesign is needed when migrating to TSSOP-20.
Does OE control affect internal latch state?
No. OE only gates the output drivers; the internal latch state (Q0–Q7) remains unchanged regardless of OE level. Data retention is fully independent of OE, allowing safe bus release without data loss.
