These 18-bit flip-flops feature 3-state outputs designedspecifically for driving highly capacitive or relativelylow-impedance loads. They are particularly suitable for implementingwider buffer registers, I/O ports, bidirectional bus drivers withparity, and working registers.
The 'ABT16823 can be used as two 9-bit flip-flops or one 18-bitflip-flop. With the clock-enable (
) input low, the D-type flip-flops enter data on thelow-to-high transitions of the clock. Taking
A buffered output-enable (
) input can be used to place the nine outputs in eithera normal logic state (high or low logic level) or a high-impedancestate. In the high-impedance state, the outputs neither load nordrive the bus lines significantly. The high-impedance state andincreased drive provide the capability to drive bus lines withoutneed for interface or pullup components.
does not affectthe internal operation of the flip-flops. Old data can be retained ornew data can be entered while the outputs are in the high-impedancestate.
When VCC is between 0 and 2.1 V, the device is in thehigh-impedance state during power up or power down. However, toensure the high-impedance state above 2.1 V,
The SN54ABT16823 is characterized for operation over the fullmilitary temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. TheSN74ABT16823 is characterized for operation from -40°C to85°C.
