The 'ABT16623 are 16-bit transceivers designed for asynchronouscommunication between data buses. The control-function implementationallows for maximum flexibility in timing. The 'ABT16623 provide truedata at the outputs.
These devices can be used as two 8-bit transceivers or one 16-bittransceiver. They allow data transmission from the A bus to the B busor from the B bus to the A bus, depending on the logic levels at theoutput-enable (OEAB and
)inputs. The output-enable inputs can be used to disable the device sothat the buses are effectively isolated. The dual-enableconfiguration gives the transceivers the capability of storing databy simultaneously enabling OEAB and
. Each output reinforces its input in thisconfiguration. When both OEAB and
are enabled and all other data sources to the two setsof bus lines are at high impedance, both sets of bus lines (32 total)remain at their last states.
To ensure the high-impedance state during power up or power down,
should be tiedto VCC through a pullup resistor; the minimum value of theresistor is determined by the current-sinking capability of thedriver. OEAB should be tied to GND through a pulldown resistor; theminimum value of the resistor is determined by the current-sourcingcapability of the driver.
The SN54ABT16623 is characterized for operation over the fullmilitary temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. TheSN74ABT16623 is characterized for operation from -40°C to85°C.
