The Texas Instruments SN74LVTH373PW is an 8-bit D-type transparent latch with tri-state outputs from the 74LVTH family. It captures data at the D inputs when the latch-enable (LE) input is high, and holds the last state when LE goes low. The tri-state output buffer lets multiple devices share a common bus — the output-enable (OE) pin puts all eight outputs into high-impedance when driven high. This part is designed for bus-interface applications where propagation delay and drive strength matter: memory-address latching, microcontroller I/O expansion, and backplane buffering in telecom or industrial control racks. The 2.7 ns propagation delay is the headline number for this latch. The 32 mA source / 64 mA sink output drive gives enough fan-out to drive a heavily loaded backplane or a bank of memory chips directly, without external buffers.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between SN74LVTH373PW and SN74LVTH373PWR?
The SN74LVTH373PW ships in a tube; the SN74LVTH373PWR ships on tape and reel. The die, package, and electrical specifications are identical. Choose the PW for prototype or low-volume builds where tube handling is preferred; choose the PWR for automated pick-and-place assembly lines.
What is the equivalent of SN74LVTH373PW?
A functional equivalent in a different logic family is the 74FCT573APC, which is also an 8-bit D-type transparent latch with tri-state outputs. The 74FCT573APC runs from a 5 V supply (4.75 V nominal), has an 8.5 ns propagation delay, and comes in a through-hole DIP package with a 0°C to 70°C temperature range. It is not a pin-compatible drop-in replacement due to the different supply voltage and package, but it fills the same logic function for 5 V bus designs.
