Product Overview
National Semiconductor 74ACT373PC is an octal transparent latch with 3-state outputs housed in a standard 20-pin dual inline package (DIP-20). Built on advanced CMOS technology with TTL-compatible inputs, the device provides temporary byte-wide data storage, address demultiplexing, and bus interfacing in digital logic systems.
Key Features
- 20-pin dual inline package (DIP-20) through-hole design
- Octal transparent D-type latch architecture
- 3-state bus-driving outputs
- Advanced CMOS logic with TTL voltage compatibility
- Markings: National logo, P9448SD, 74ACT373PC
Applications
- Address and data bus demultiplexing on vintage 8-bit and 16-bit processor boards
- Temporary byte-wide data latching in microcontroller breadboard builds
- Digital logic circuit repairs and test equipment restoration
Frequently Asked Questions
What package type does this chip use?
It is in a standard 20-pin plastic DIP (dual inline package) designed for through-hole soldering or socket insertion.
Are pins clean and straight?
Leads are intact and suitable for breadboarding or socketing, showing typical light handling wear from prior seating.
Why buy this single latch instead of an unsorted IC lot?
When you are troubleshooting a specific bus interface or breadboarding an 8-bit latch circuit, you need the exact 74ACT-series pinout in hand without buying a bulk reel or gambling on unmarked pull bags. This unit is photographed directly so you know the exact package marking and condition before it hits your bench. Flat-rate shipping is $8, orders over $28 ship free, and packages depart our Idaho warehouse the same or next business day.
