The SN74ABT38652 is a 36-bit (quad 9-bit) bus transceiver that consists of D-type flip-flops and control circuitry arranged for multiplexed transmission of data directly from the data bus or from the internal storage registers. This device can be used as four 9-bit transceivers, two 18-bit transceivers, or one 36-bit transceiver.
Output-enable (OEAB and
)
inputs are provided to control the transceiver functions.
Select-control (SAB and SBA) inputs are provided to select whether
real-time or stored data is transferred. The circuitry used for
select control eliminates the typical decoding glitch that occurs in
a multiplexer during the transition between stored and real-time
data. A low input selects real-time data, and a high input selects
stored data.
Data on the A or B data bus, or both, can be stored in the
internal D-type flip-flops by low-to-high transitions at the
appropriate clock (CLKAB or CLKBA) inputs regardless of the select-
or enable-control pins. When SAB and SBA are in the real-time
transfer mode, it is possible to store data without using the
internal D-type flip-flops by simultaneously enabling OEAB and
. In this configuration each output
reinforces its input. Therefore, when all other data sources to the
two sets of bus lines are at high impedance, each set of bus lines
remain at its last 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 (B to A). OEAB 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 (A to B).
Active bus-hold circuitry is provided to hold unused or floating inputs at a valid logic level.
The SN74ABT38652 is characterized for operation from -40°C to 85°C.
