The SN74BCT956 consists of bus transceiver circuits, D-typelatches, and control circuitry arranged for multiplexed transmissionof data directly from the input bus or from the internal latches.Data on the A or B bus is stored in the latches when the appropriatelatch-enable (LEAB or LEBA) input is low. Figure 1 illustrates thefour fundamental bus-management functions that can be performed withthe SN74BCT956.
Output-enable (
) anddirection-control (DIR) inputs are provided to control thetransceiver functions. In the transceiver mode (
The select-control (SAB and SBA) inputs can multiplex stored andreal-time (transparent mode) data. When the appropriate latch-enableinput is high, the latch is transparent, and real-time data is outputregardless of the level at the select control.
The direction control (DIR) determines which bus receives datawhen
is low. In theisolation mode (
high), A datamay be stored in one register and/or B data may be stored in theother register.
When an output function is disabled, the input function is stillenabled and may be used to store and transmit data. Only one of thetwo buses, A or B, may be driven at a time.
The SN74BCT956 is characterized for operation from 0°C to70°C.
