The CD74HCT373M is a D-type transparent latch 1-channel 8:8 IC tri-state 20-SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) manufactured by Texas Instruments. It is a device that can store data momentarily or for a specified time. It is capable of providing eight bits of data input and output and each bit can theoretically provide eight lines of data. It is a miniaturized, low-power device and has an operating voltage range of 2V to 6V, with a storage temperature range of -55°C to +125°C. The chip also features a 500 kHz clock frequency and contains 4 enable input pins that enable each bit of the 8 bits of data to be read or sent to the input/output lines. It also features 3 control signal pins to enable or inhibit devices or functions within the circuit. The device is ideal for applications such as multiplexers, data selection, level translators, converters, fan controllers, amplifiers, among others.
