description
These octal bus transceivers are designed for
asynchronous communication between data
buses. The control function implementation allows
for maximum flexibility in timing.
These devices allow data transmission from the A
bus to the B bus or from the B bus to the A bus
depending upon the logic levels at the output
enable (OEAB and OEBA
) inputs.
The output-enable inputs can be used to disable
the device so that the buses are effectively
isolated. The dual-enable configuration gives the
transceivers the capability of storing data by
simultaneously enabling OEAB and OEBA
. Each
output reinforces its input in this configuration.
When both OEAB and OEBA
are enabled and all
other data sources to the two sets of bus lines are
at high impedance, both sets of bus lines (16 in all)
will remain at their last states.
The SN54F621 is characterized for operation over
the full military temperature range of –55°C to
125°C. The SN74F621 is characterized for
operation from 0°C to 70°C.

Stresses beyond those listed under “absolute maximum ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and
functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under “recommended operating conditions” is not
implied. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
NOTE 1: The input-voltage ratings may be exceeded provided the input-current ratings are observed.
