7475 74LS75 4-BIT BISTABLE LATCHES

The 7475 / 74LS75 is a quad 4-bit bistable latch IC featuring transparent latching and complementary outputs (Q & Q̅). Designed using Low Power Schottky TTL logic, it provides high-speed data latching ideal for use in memory storage, data buffering, and control logic applications.

7475 / 74LS75 4-Bit Bistable Latch

The 7475 / 74LS75 4-Bit Bistable Latch is a widely used IC designed for temporary data storage in digital systems. Operating on TTL logic with low power consumption, it contains four latches, each capable of storing one bit of data. These latches operate in transparent mode, meaning the output follows the input when enabled, and latches the data when the enable signal is turned off.

Its fast response time, noise immunity, and robust operation make it suitable for buffering data between microprocessors and slower peripherals, managing control signals, or acting as temporary memory in digital logic systems.
