8-bit transparent latch in AC logic — what you get
The 74AC11373NT is an 8-bit bus driver built in the AC (advanced CMOS) logic family, functioning as a transparent latch with tri-state outputs. It takes eight data inputs and, when the latch-enable signal is active, passes the inputs straight to the outputs; when latch-enable goes inactive, the last state is held. The tri-state outputs let multiple devices share a common bus without contention — the standard role for address/data latching in microprocessor and memory-interface circuits. Packaged in a through-hole DIP (Bulk shipment), this part suits legacy PCB designs, breadboard prototyping, and repair/rework of existing equipment where surface-mount conversion isn't practical.
RoHS non-compliance — plan around it
However, it is RoHS non-compliant, meaning the lead-frame finish contains lead (Pb). This restricts its use in new equipment placed on the EU market under RoHS exemptions; it is fully acceptable for military, aerospace, industrial, and repair applications where RoHS exemption applies or where leaded solder is still specified.
This is the standard for through-hole DIP packages. For automated insertion, you will need to transfer to tube feeders or hand-place; for prototype and repair work, Bulk is convenient because you can pull single units without de-reeling.
