Please be aware that an important notice concerning availability, standard warranty, and use in critical applications of TexasInstruments semiconductor products and disclaimers thereto appears at the end of this data sheet.
The 'ACT1284 are designed for asynchronous two-way communication between data buses. The control function minimizes external timing requirements.
The devices allow data transmission in either the A-to-B or the B-to-A direction for bits 1, 2, 3, and 4, depending on the logic level at the direction-control (DIR) input. Bits 5, 6, and 7, however, always transmit in the A-to-B direction.
The output drive for each mode is determined by the high drive (HD) control pin. When HD is high, the high drive is delivered by the totem-pole configuration, and when HD is low, the outputs are open drain. This meets the drive requirements as specified in the IEEE 1284-I (level 1 type) and the IEEE 1284-II (level 2 type) parallel peripheral-interface specification.
The SN54ACT1284 is characterized for operation over the full military temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. The SN74ACT1284 is characterized for operation from 0°C to 70°C.
