The SN74BCT533 is an 8-bit transparent D-type latch with 3-stateoutputs designed specifically for driving highly capacitive orrelatively low-impedance loads. It is particularly suitable forimplementing buffer registers, I/O ports, bidirectional bus drivers,and working registers.
When the latch-enable (LE) input is high, the Q\ outputs followthe complements of the data (D) inputs. When LE is taken low, the Q\outputs are latched at the inverse of the levels set up at the Dinputs. The SN74BCT533 provides inverted data at its outputs.
A buffered output-enable (
) input can be used to place the eight outputs in eithera normal logic state (high or low logic levels) or a high-impedancestate. In the high-impedance state, the outputs neither load nordrive the bus lines significantly. The high-impedance state and theincreased drive provide the capability to drive bus lines withoutneed for interface or pullup components.
The output-enable (
)input does not affect the internal operations of the latch.Previously stored data can be retained or new data can be enteredwhile the outputs are in the high-impedance state.
The SN74BCT533 is characterized for operation from 0°C to70°C.
