These 8-bit D-type transparent latches feature 3-state outputs designed specifically for driving highly capacitive or relatively low-impedance loads. They are particularly suitable for implementing buffer registers, I/O ports, bidirectional bus drivers, and working registers. While latch-enable (LE) input is high, the Q outputs follow the complements of the data (D) inputs. When LE is taken low, the Q outputs are latched at the inverses of the levels set up at the D inputs. The SN74ALS533A and SN74AS533A are functionally equivalent to the SN74ALS373A and SN74AS373, except for having inverted outputs.
