description

The ´ABT32952 is a 32-bit (quad 8-bit) transceiver with edge-triggered D-type flip-flops and 3-state outputs 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 ´ABT32952 can be used as four 8-bit flip-flops, two 16-bit flip-flops, or one 32-bit flip-flop. Provided that the clock-enable ( or ) input is low on the positive transition of the clock (CLKAB or CLKBA) input, the output (B or A) of the flip-flop takes on the logic level set up at the input (A or B). The ´ABT32952 allows data transmission from the A bus to the B bus or from the B bus to the A bus depending upon the logic levels at the output-enable inputs.

A buffered output-enable ( or OEBA) input can be used to place the 32 outputs in either a normal logic state (high or low) 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 the increased drive provide the capability to drive bus lines without need for interface or pullup components.

The or OEBA do not affect the internal operations of the flip-flop. Old 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 pullup resistor; the minimum value of the resistor is determined by the current-sinking capability of the driver (A to B). OE should be tied to GND through a pulldown resistor; the minimum value of the resistor is determined by the current-sourcing capability of the driver (B to A).

Active bus-hold circuitry is provided to hold unused or floating data inputs at a valid logic level.

The SN54ABT32952 is characterized for operation over the full military temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. The SN74ABT32952 is characterized for operation from -40°C to 85°C.
