SNJ54ALS374J as an 8-Bit Latch for Arduino

Hey everyone,

I’m building an Arduino project that needs to read a bunch of sensor signals at once. I used the SNJ54ALS374J because it’s an 8-bit latch chip that can hold data and share it when needed. I powered it with 5V and connected the inputs to my sensors. When the Arduino gives a trigger, it locks the current sensor values until I tell it to update again. It’s great for getting clean, stable readings, especially with noisy sensors. Next, I’ll test if the timing stays accurate during fast reads and clean up my board layout to reduce noise. Has anyone else used this chip or a similar latch with Arduino? Would love to hear how you handled timing or bus control.

Thanks!
