DM74AS373 Octal D-Type Transparent Latch with 3-STATE Outputs
DM74AS373
Octal D-Type Transparent Latch with 3-STATE Outputs
General Description
These 8-bit register s feature totem-pole 3- STATE outputs
designed specifically fo r driving highly-capacitive or relatively low-impedance loa ds. Th e hi gh -im ped ance state and
increased high-logic-level drive provide these registers with
the capability of being connected directly to and driving the
bus lines in a bu s-or ga nized sy stem w ith ou t n eed fo r interface or pull-up components. They are particularly attractive
for implementing buffer registers, I/O ports, bidirectional
bus drivers, and working registers.
The eight latches of the DM74AS373 are transparent Dtype latches, meaning that while the enable (G) is HIGH
the Q outputs will follow the data (D) inputs. When the
enable is taken LOW the output will be latched at the level
of the data that was set up.
A buffered output control input ca n be used to place the
eight outputs in either a normal l ogic state (HIGH or LOW
logic levels) or a high impe dance state. In the high-im pedance state the outputs ne ither load nor dr ive the bus lines
significantly.
The output control does not affect the i nternal oper ation of
the latches. That is, the old data can be retained or new
data can be entered even while the outputs are OFF.
