FACT DATA
The MC74AC256/74ACT256 dual addressable latch has four distinct modes
of operation which are selectable by controlling the Clear and Enable inputs
(see Function Table). In the addressable latch mode, data at the Data (D) inputs
is written into the addressed latches. The addressed latches will follow the Data
input with all unaddressed latches remaining in their previous states.
In the memory mode, all latches remain in their previous states and are
unaffected by the Data or Address inputs. To eliminate the possibility of entering
erroneous data in the latches, the enable should be held HIGH (inactive) while
the address lines are changing. In the dual 1-of-4 decoding or demultiplexing
mode (MR
= E = LOW), addressed outputs will follow the level of the D inputs
with all other outputs LOW. In the clear mode, all outputs are LOW and unaffected
by the Address and Data inputs.
• Combines Dual Demultiplexer and 8-Bit Latch
• Serial-to-Parallel Capability
• Output from Each Storage Bit Available
• Random (Addressable) Data Entry
• Easily Expandable
• Common Clear Input
• Useful as Dual 1-of-4 Active HIGH Decoder
