The M54/74HC237 is a high speed CMOS 3 TO 8
LINE DECODER LATCH fabricated in silicon gate
C2MOStechnology.
It has the same high speed performance of LSTTL
combined with true CMOS low power consumption.
WhenGL goes from low to high, the address present
atthe select inputs (A, B, C) isstored in thelatches.
Aslong as GLremains highno address changes will
be recognized. Output enable controls, G1 and G2
control the state of the outputs independantly of the
selector latch-enableinputs. Alloftheoutputs are low
unless G1is high andG2is low. The ’HC237 is ideally
suited for the implementation of glitch-free decoders
in stored-address applications in bus oriented systems. Allinputs areequipped with protection circuits
againststatic discharge andtransient excessvoltage.
