These 18-bit bus-interface flip-flops feature 3-state outputsdesigned specifically 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 'ABT162823 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 places the nine outputs in either a normal logicstate (high or low logic level) or a high-impedance state. In thehigh-impedance state, the outputs neither load nor drive the buslines significantly. The high-impedance state and increased driveprovide the capability to drive bus lines without interface or pullupcomponents.
does notaffect the internal operation of the flip-flops. Old data can beretained or new data can be entered while the outputs are in thehigh-impedance state.
The outputs, which are designed to source or sink up to 12 mA,include equivalent 25-
series resistors to reduce overshoot and undershoot.
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.
The SN54ABT162823 is characterized for operation over the fullmilitary temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. TheSN74ABT162823 is characterized for operation from -40°C to85°C.
