The VHC373 is an advanced high speed CMOS octal Dtype latch with 3-STATE output fabricated with silicon gate CMOS technology. It achieves the high speed operation similar to equivalent Bipolar Schottky TTL while maintaining the CMOS low power dissipation. This 8-bit D-type latch is controlled by a latch enable input (LE) and an output enable input (OE). The latches appear transparent to data when latch enable (LE) is HIGH. When LE is LOW, the data that meets the setup time is LATCHED. When the OE input is HIGH, the eight outputs are in a high impedance state.
