54LS279/DM54LS279/DM74LS279
Quad S
-R Latches
General Description
The ’LS279 consists of four individual and independent SetReset Latches with active low inputs. Two of the four latches have an additonal S
input ANDed with the primary S
input. A low on any S input while the R input is high will be
stored in the latch and appear on the corresponding Q output as a high. A low on the R
input while the S input is high
will clear the Q output to a low. Simultaneous transistion of
the R
and S inputs from low to high will cause the Q output
to be indeterminate. Both inputs are voltage level triggered
and are not affected by transition time of the input data.
