This 16-bit edge-triggered D-type flip-flop is designed for 2.3-V to 3.6-V VCC operation.
The SN74ALVCH162374 is particularly suitable for implementing buffer registers, I/O ports, bidirectional bus drivers, and working registers. It can be used as two 8-bit flip-flops or one 16-bit flip-flop. On the positive transition of the clock (CLK) input, the Q outputs of the flip-flop take on the logic levels set up at the data (D) inputs.
The output enable (
)
input can be used to place the eight outputs in either a normal logic
state (high or low logic levels) 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.
does
not affect 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.
The outputs, which are designed to sink up to 12 mA, include
26-
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.
Active bus-hold circuitry is provided to hold unused or floating data inputs at a valid logic level.
The SN74ALVCH162374 is available in TI's shrink small-outline (DL) and thin shrink small-outline (DGG) packages, which provide twice the I/O pin count and functionality of standard small-outline packages in the same printed circuit board area.
The SN74ALVCH162374 is characterized for operation from -40°C to 85°C.
