Texas Instruments SN74HC573ADW

The SN74HC573ADW is an octal transparent D-type latch integrated circuit (IC) manufactured by Texas Instruments. It is a part of the HC family of high-speed CMOS logic devices. Functions: The SN74HC573ADW is a latch that features eight independent D-type latches with 3-state outputs. It has an input-enable control gate and 3-state outputs, allowing it to function as a transparent latch or a storage register depending on the input control. Applications: The SN74HC573ADW is commonly used in various applications, including: 1. Parallel-to-serial data conversion: It can be used to convert parallel data inputs to a serial stream of data. 2. Storage and memory applications: It can be used as a temporary storage element for data in microcontrollers, microprocessors, or digital systems. 3. Data synchronization: It can be used to synchronize incoming data signals with a system clock in digital communication systems. Alternative Parts: If the SN74HC573ADW is not available or suitable for your application, you may consider the following alternative octal transparent latch ICs: 1. SN74HC373DWR: Similar to SN74HC573ADW but without the 3-state outputs. 2. SN74HCT573DW: Similar functionality to SN74HC573ADW but has TTL inputs. Embedded Modules: Texas Instruments does not offer specific embedded modules for the SN74HC573ADW. However, the IC can be used in various embedded systems and modules that require latch functionality. Q&A: 1. Q: What does "transparent" mean for the SN74HC573ADW? A: In context to the SN74HC573ADW, "transparent" means that the latch allows the input data to pass through it to the output when the latch enable (LE) input is high. 2. Q: What is the purpose of the 3-state outputs in the SN74HC573ADW? A: The 3-state outputs allow the outputs of the latch to be effectively disconnected from the output pins, which is useful in applications where multiple devices need to drive a common bus. 3. Q: Can the SN74HC573ADW operate at both 3.3V and 5V power supply levels? A: Yes, the SN74HC573ADW can operate at power supply levels ranging from 2V to 6V. This makes it compatible with both 3.3V and 5V systems. These Q&A should provide some additional understanding about the SN74HC573ADW and its applications.
