Product details
Overview
PI74FCT573ATS from Pericom Semiconductor is an 8-bit octal transparent latch with 3-state outputs, designed for bus-oriented digital systems where data isolation and controlled latching are required. It features TTL-compatible input/output levels, 5V supply operation, industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), propagation delay ≤8.0 ns (tPLH/tPHL), and low static power consumption (ICC ≤500 µA). It is used in microprocessor data bus buffering and address/data separation in embedded controllers.
For engineers reviewing the PI74FCT573ATS datasheet, PI74FCT573ATS pinout, PI74FCT573ATS application, or PI74FCT573ATS equivalent, key selection criteria include latch enable polarity (active HIGH), output enable polarity (active LOW), 3-state bus drive capability, ground bounce suppression, and compatibility with FAST™-series logic replacements in legacy 5V systems.
Technical Context
The PI74FCT573ATS implements a transparent latch architecture: when LE is HIGH, inputs D0–D7 pass directly to outputs O0–O7; when LE transitions LOW, the input state at that instant is captured and held. OE controls output tri-state behavior - outputs go high-impedance when OE is HIGH.
It uses Fast CMOS technology with hysteresis on all inputs (200 mV), TTL-level thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V, VIL = 0.8 V), and rail-to-rail output swing (VOH ≥ 2.4 V, VOL ≤ 0.55 V at IOL = 64 mA). Its design targets noise immunity, low power, and compatibility with bipolar FAST logic while reducing supply current by >90%.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Function | 8-bit transparent latch with 3-state outputs - enables bidirectional bus control and data hold without clock edge dependency. |
| Supply Voltage | 5.0 V ±5% - operates reliably across standard 5V TTL/CMOS systems; supports up to 7.0 V absolute max for transient tolerance. |
| Propagation Delay | tPLH/tPHL ≤8.0 ns (CL = 50 pF) - ensures timing compatibility with 125 MHz+ bus cycles in synchronous designs. |
| Output Drive | IOL = 64 mA (VOL ≤ 0.55 V), IOH = –15 mA (VOH ≥ 2.4 V) - drives standard TTL loads and multiple CMOS inputs without external buffers. |
| Input Hysteresis | 200 mV - suppresses noise-induced glitches on LE and OE control lines in electrically noisy industrial environments. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade applications including motor control, PLC I/O modules, and instrumentation. |
| Quiescent Current | ICC ≤ 500 µA - reduces standby power in always-on systems such as real-time data loggers and sensor concentrators. |
Pinout & Package
PI74FCT573ATS is housed in a 20-pin SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) package with 0.300-inch body width and standard JEDEC MS-013 footprint. Pin spacing is 0.050 inch (1.27 mm), compatible with automated PCB assembly and legacy socketing.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OE) | Output Enable Input | Active-LOW control: asserts high-impedance state on all O0–O7 outputs when HIGH; enables bus sharing. |
| 2–9 (D0–D7) | Data Inputs | Asynchronous parallel inputs accepting TTL/CMOS logic levels; routed to outputs only when LE is HIGH. |
| 10 (GND) | Ground Reference | Primary signal and power return path; decoupling capacitor must be placed adjacent to this pin. |
| 11 (VCC) | Power Supply | +5V supply input; requires local 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling between pins 10 and 11 per best practice. |
| 12–19 (O0–O7) | 3-State Outputs | True (non-inverted) latched outputs; tri-stated when OE = HIGH or powered down; drive bus loads directly. |
| 20 (LE) | Latch Enable Input | Active-HIGH control: enables transparency when HIGH; captures and holds D0–D7 on falling edge of LE. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Pin compatibility with bipolar FAST™ Series | Direct drop-in replacement for 74F373/74F573 in existing 5V layouts, enabling power and speed upgrades without redesign. |
| Low ground bounce outputs | Controlled slew rate and internal layout minimize simultaneous switching noise - critical for stable ADC reference and analog subsystems. |
| TTL input and output levels | Guaranteed VIH ≥ 2.0 V and VOL ≤ 0.55 V at full load - ensures interoperability with legacy 74LS/74ALS and microcontroller GPIOs. |
| Hysteresis on all inputs | 200 mV input threshold margin - prevents chatter on slow-rising control signals (e.g., from mechanical switches or long traces). |
| Industrial temperature range | Validated operation from –40°C to +85°C - suitable for uncontrolled environments like factory floors and outdoor enclosures. |
Applications
| Microprocessor Data Bus Interface | Address/Data Multiplexing |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Isolating and latching data between a microprocessor and peripheral memory or I/O devices during shared bus cycles. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Acts as a data bus transceiver latch - captures processor write data on LE falling edge and presents it to peripherals while maintaining bus integrity. Use Value: Eliminates need for external bus buffers and simplifies timing by providing deterministic setup/hold (tSU = 2.0 ns, tH = 1.5 ns) in 5V MPU systems. |
Use Scenario: Separating multiplexed address and data signals on an 8086/8088-style bus using ALE-driven latching. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Latches lower-order address bits (AD0–AD7) on ALE assertion, freeing the bus for data transfer in subsequent cycles. Use Value: Enables single-bus architecture with precise 6.0 ns minimum LE pulse width support - meets Intel 8086 timing requirements without added logic. |
| Industrial I/O Expansion Module | Legacy System Bus Re-timing |
|
Use Scenario: Buffering digital I/O signals in programmable logic controller (PLC) backplane modules requiring noise-immune signal routing. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides isolated, latched I/O staging between field-side sensors/actuators and controller-side logic with configurable OE control. Use Value: Hysteresis and low ground bounce ensure reliable operation in EMI-heavy factory settings; 3-state outputs prevent bus contention during hot-swap events. |
Use Scenario: Re-timing and level-shifting signals in aging test equipment or instrumentation where FAST logic has degraded or become obsolete. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Replaces failing 74F573 latches with identical pinout and improved DC/AC specs - restores timing margins without board rework. Use Value: Reduces quiescent current by >90% versus original FAST parts while maintaining sub-8 ns propagation - extends system thermal headroom. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal transparent latch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74F573PC | Bipolar FAST logic; higher ICC (≈30 mA), slower tPLH (12 ns typical), no input hysteresis. | Higher power dissipation and noise sensitivity limit use in thermally constrained or EMI-prone designs. | Select only if legacy FAST compatibility is mandatory and power/noise budgets allow. |
| SN74ACT573N | Advanced CMOS; 5V-only, VIH/VIL tighter (2.0/0.8 V same), but no hysteresis and higher VOL (0.5 V @ 24 mA). | Lacks 200 mV hysteresis - less robust on slow-rising control lines; not recommended for mechanical switch interfaces. | Prefer for new 5V logic designs needing higher noise immunity than ACT but lower cost than FCT variants. |
Compared with 74F573PC and SN74ACT573N, the PI74FCT573ATS delivers superior noise immunity via input hysteresis, lower static power (500 µA vs 30 mA), and faster disable time (tPLZ ≤5.0 ns), making it optimal for industrial bus isolation where reliability and efficiency are prioritized over raw speed.

FAQ
What is the function of the LE and OE pins on the PI74FCT573ATS?
The LE (Latch Enable) pin is active HIGH and controls data transparency: when HIGH, D0–D7 pass through to O0–O7; on the falling edge, the current input state is latched. The OE (Output Enable) pin is active LOW and controls output drivers: when HIGH, all outputs enter high-impedance state, isolating the device from the bus. Both pins operate independently and support asynchronous control.
Can PI74FCT573ATS operate at 3.3V supply voltage?
No. The PI74FCT573ATS is specified only for 5.0 V ±5% operation (4.75 V to 5.25 V). Its input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V, VIL = 0.8 V) and output drive characteristics are optimized for 5V TTL/CMOS compatibility. Operation below 4.75 V may result in undefined logic states, increased propagation delay, or failure to meet VOL/VOH specifications.
How does the PI74FCT573ATS differ from the PI74FCT373ATS?
The PI74FCT573ATS has non-inverting outputs (O0–O7 follow D0–D7), while the PI74FCT373ATS provides true/complementary outputs (O0–O7 and O0̅–O7̅). Their pinouts differ: PI74FCT573ATS places D0–D7 on pins 2–9 and O0–O7 on pins 12–19; PI74FCT373ATS interleaves D and O pins. They are not pin-compatible and serve distinct bus architectures - 573 for unidirectional latching, 373 for bidirectional or complementary signaling.
Is thermal derating required for continuous operation at +85°C ambient?
Yes. While the device is rated for operation up to +85°C ambient, power dissipation must remain within limits: maximum 0.5 W total, with junction temperature not exceeding +125°C. At full load and high ambient, thermal design must ensure adequate PCB copper area, airflow, or heatsinking - especially when driving 64 mA per output continuously, as power loss increases with output loading and frequency.
