SCBS266 - JULY 1991 - REVISED NOVEMBER 1993
This 9-bit bus-interface flip-flop features 3-state outputs designed specifically for driving highly capacitive or relatively low-impedance loads. It is particularly suitable for implementing wider buffer registers, I/O ports, bidirectional bus drivers with parity, and working registers.
The nine flip-flops are edge-triggered D-type flip-flops. With the
clock-enable (
) input low,
the flip-flops store data on the low-to-high transitions of the
clock. Taking
high disables
the clock buffer, thus latching the outputs. The SN74BCT29824 has
inverting data (D\) inputs. Taking the clear (
) input low causes the nine Q
outputs to go low independent of the clock.
A buffered output-enable (
) input can be used to place the nine 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 increased drive
provide the capability to drive bus lines without need for interface
or pullup 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 SN74BCT29824 is characterized for operation from 0°C to 70°C.
