These 8-bit latches feature 3-state outputs designed specifically for driving highly capaciTIve or relaTIvely low-impedance loads. They are parTIcularly suitable for implemenTIng buffer registers, I/O ports, bidirectional bus drivers, and working registers.

The eight latches of the ´F373 are transparent D-type latches. While the latch-enable (LE) input is high, the Q outputs will follow the data (D) inputs. When the latch enable is taken low, the Q outputs are latched at the logic levels set up at the D inputs.

logic state (high or low logic levels) or a high-impedance state. In the high-impedance state, the outputs neither load nor drive the bus lines significantly.
