These 10-bit flip-flops feature 3-state outputs designed specifically for driving highly-capacitive or relatively low-impedance loads. They are particularly suitable for implementing wider buffer registers, I/O ports, bidirectional bus drivers with parity, and working registers.
On the positive transition of the clock the Q outputs will follow the D inputs.
A buffered output enable (
) input can be used to place the ten outputs in either a
normal logic state (high or low level) or a high-impedance state. In
the high-impedance state the outputs neither load nor drive the bus
lines significantly.
The high-impedance state and increased drive provide the capability to drive the bus lines in a bus-organized system without need for interface or pull-up components.
The output enable (
)does
not affect the internal operation of the flip-flops. Old data can be
retained or new data can be entered while the outputs are in the
high-impedance state.
The 54ACT11821 is characterized for operation over the full military temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. The 74ACT11821 is characterized for operation form -40°C to 85°C.
