These 18-bit bus-interface flip-flops feature 3-state outputs designed specifically for driving highly capacitive or relatively low-impedance loads. They are particularly suitable for implementing wider buffer registers, I/O ports, bidirectional bus drivers with parity, and working registers.
The 'ABT162823 can be used as two 9-bit flip-flops or one 18-bit
flip-flop. With the clock-enable (
) input low, the D-type flip-flops enter data on the
low-to-high transitions of the clock. Taking
high disables the clock buffer,
thus latching the outputs. Taking the clear (
) input low causes the Q outputs to
go low independently of the clock.
A buffered output-enable (
) input places the nine outputs in either a normal logic
state (high or low logic level) 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 interface or pullup
components.
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 outputs, which are designed to source or sink up to 12 mA,
include equivalent 25-
series resistors to reduce overshoot and undershoot.
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.
The SN54ABT162823 is characterized for operation over the full military temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. The SN74ABT162823 is characterized for operation from -40°C to 85°C.
