The SN74ABT38543 is a 36-bit (quad 9-bit) registered transceiver
that contains four sets of D-type latches for temporary storage of
data flowing in either direction. The device can be used as four
9-bit transceivers, two 18-bit transceivers, or one 36-bit
transceiver. Separate latch-enable (
or
) and
output-enable (
or
) inputs are provided for each
register to permit independent control in either direction of data
flow.
The A-to-B enable (
)
input must be low in order to enter data from A or to output data
from B. If
is low and
is low, the
A-to-B latches are transparent; a subsequent low-to-high transition
of
puts the A
latches in the storage mode. With
and
both low, the
3-state B outputs are active and reflect the data present at the
output of the A latches. Data flow from B to A is similar but
requires using the
,
, and
inputs.
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.
Active bus-hold circuitry is provided to hold unused or floating inputs at a valid logic level.
The SN74ABT38543 is characterized for operation from -40°C to 85°C.
