HD74AC259
8-bit Addressable Latch
Description
The HD74AC259 is a high-speed 8-bit addressable latch designed for general purpose storage applications
in digital systems. It is a multifunctional device capable or storing single line data in eight addressable
latches, and also a 1-of-8 decoder and demultiplexer with active HIGH outputs. The device also
incorporates an active LOW Common Clear for resetting all latches, as well as an active LOW Enable.
Features
• Serial-to-Parallel Conversion
• Eight Bits of Storage with Output of Each Bit Available
• Random (Addressable) Data Entry
• Active High Demultiplexing or Decoding Capability
• Easily Expandable
• Common Clear
• Outputs Source/Sink 24 mA
