The 'AHCT16374 are 16-bit edge-triggered D-type flip-flops with 3-state outputs designed specifically for driving highly capacitive or relatively low-impedance loads. They are particularly suitable for implementing buffer registers, I/O ports, bidirectional bus drivers, and working registers.
These devices 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 at the data (D) inputs.
A buffered 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 SN54AHCT16374 is characterized for operation over the full military temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. The SN74AHCT16374 is characterized for operation from -40°C to 85°C.
