The 'HCT646 consist of bus-transceiver circuits with 3-state outputs, D-type flip-flops, and control circuitry arranged for multiplexed transmission of data directly from the input bus or from the internal registers. Data on the A or B bus is clocked into the registers on the low-to-high transition of the appropriate clock (CLKAB or CLKBA) input. Figure 1 illustrates the four fundamental bus- management functions that can be performed with the 'HCT646.
Output-enable (OE\) and direction-control (DIR) inputs control the transceiver functions. In the transceiver mode, data present at the high-impedance port can be stored in either or both registers.
The select-control (SAB and SBA) inputs can multiplex stored and real-time (transparent mode) data. DIR determines which bus receives data when OE\ is active (low). In the isolation mode (OE\ high), A data can be stored in one register and/or B data can be stored in the other register.
When an output function is disabled, the input function is still enabled and can be used to store and transmit data. Only one of the two buses, A or B, can be driven at a time.
The SN54HCT646 is characterized for operation over the full military temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. The SN74HCT646 is characterized for operation from -40°C to 85°C
