74ACT843 9-Bit Transparent Latch
74ACT843
9-Bit Transparent Latch
General Description
The ACT843 bus inter face latch is designed to e liminate
the extra packages required to buffer existing latch es and
provide extra data width for wider address/data paths.
Features
■ TTL compatible inputs
■ 3-STATE outputs for bus interfacing
Ordering Code:
Device also available in Tape and Reel. Specify by appending s uffix let te r “X” to the ordering code. (SPC not available in Tape and Reel.)

74ACT843
Functional Description
The ACT843 consists of nine D-t ype latches with 3 -STATE
outputs. The flip-flops a ppe ar tran spa ren t to th e da ta w he n
Latch Enable (LE) is HIGH. This allows asynchronous
operation, as the output transition follows the data in transition. On the LE HIGH-to-LOW transition, the data that
meets the setup times is latched. Data appears on the bus
when the Output Enabl e (OE
) is LOW. When OE is HIGH,
the bus output is in the high impedance state. In addition to
the LE and OE
pins, the ACT843 has a Clear (CLR) pin
and a Preset (PRE
) pin. These pins are idea l f or p ari t y bus
interfacing in high performance systems. When CLR
is
LOW, the outputs are LOW if OE
is LOW. When CLR is
HIGH, data can be entere d into the latch. When PRE
is
LOW, the outputs are HIGH if OE
is LOW. Preset overrides
CLR
.
