The 74AHC573-Q100; 74AHCT573-Q100 is an 8-bit D-type transparent latch with 3-state outputs. The device features latch enable (LE) and output enable (OE) inputs. When LE is HIGH, data at the inputs enter the latches. In this condition the latches are transparent, a latch output will change each time its corresponding D-input changes. When LE is LOW the latches store the information that was present at the inputs a set-up time preceding the HIGH-to-LOW transition of LE. A HIGH onOEcauses the outputs to assume a high-impedance OFF-state. Operation of theOEinput does not affect the state of the latches. Inputs are overvoltage tolerant. This feature allows the use of these devices as translators in mixed voltage environments.
