DM74AS373
Octal D-Type Transparent Latch with 3-STATE Outputs
General Description
These 8-bit registers feature totem-pole 3-STATE outputs
designed specifically for driving highly-capacitive or rela-
tively low-impedance loads. The high-impedance 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 bus-organized system without need for inter-
face 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 D-
type 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 can be used to place the
eight outputs in either a normal logic state (HIGH or LOW
logic levels) or a high impedance state. In the high-imped-
ance state the outputs neither load nor drive the bus lines
significantly.
The output control does not affect the internal operation of
the latches. That is, the old data can be retained or new
data can be entered even while the outputs are OFF.
