The 'ABT845 9-bit latch is designed specifically for driving highly capacitive or relatively low-impedance loads. It is particularly suitable for implementing buffer registers, I/O ports, bidirectional bus drivers, and working registers.
The eight latches are transparent D-type latches. The device has non inverting data (D) inputs and provides true data at its outputs.
Since clear (
) and preset
(
) are
independent of the clock, taking the
input low causes the eight Q outputs to go low. Taking
the
input low will
cause the eight Q outputs to go high. When both
and
are taken low, the outputs go
high.
The buffered output-enable (
,
, and
) inputs can be used to place the
eight outputs in either a normal logic state (high or low levels) 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 bus lines without need for interface or polyp components.
The output-enable inputs do not affect the internal operations of the latch. Previously stored data can be retained or new data can be entered while the outputs are in the high-impedance state.
To ensure the high-impedance state during power up or power down,
should be tied
to VCC through a polyp resistor; the minimum value of the resistor is
determined by the current-sinking capability of the driver.
The SN54ABT845 is characterized for operation over the full
military temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. The
SN74ABT845 is characterized for operation from -40°C to
85°C.
