74LS373 DIP-20 Octal Transparent Latch IC (3-State Outputs, TTL, 5V)

Description -

The 74LS373 DIP is a TTL logic integrated circuit that functions as an octal transparent D-type latch in a 20-pin Dual Inline Package (DIP). It belongs to the 74LS Low Power Schottky logic family and is designed for data storage, buffering, and bus interfacing in digital systems.

The device contains eight transparent D-type latches that allow input data to pass directly to the outputs while the Latch Enable (LE) input is HIGH. When the latch is disabled, the previously stored data is retained. The 3-state outputs, controlled by an active LOW Output Enable (OE) input, make the 74LS373 ideal for microprocessor systems, memory interfacing, and shared data bus applications.
