What is the 74LCX573FT and what does it do?
The 74LCX573FT is an 8-bit D-type latch from Toshiba's 74LCX series, designed for low-voltage logic systems. It stores data on the D inputs when the latch enable (LE) is high, and the tri-state outputs let multiple devices share a bus without contention. The 8ns propagation delay keeps up with moderate-speed buses, and the 24mA source/sink drive can directly feed a handful of CMOS inputs or a low-power LED indicator without a buffer.
The supplier device package is 20-TSSOPB, which is the standard Toshiba footprint for this body size.
