DESCRIPTION

This 18-bit bus-interface flip-flop is designed for

1.65-V to 3.6-V VCC operation.

The SN74ALVCH16823 features 3-state outputs

designed specifically for driving highly capacitive or

relatively low-impedance loads. This device is

particularly suitable for implementing wider buffer

registers, I/O ports, bidirectional bus drivers with

parity, and working registers.

The SN74ALVCH16823 can be used as two 9-bit

flip-flops or one 18-bit flip-flop. With the clock-enable

(CLKEN) input low, the D-type flip-flops enter data on

the low-to-high transitions of the clock. Taking

CLKEN high disables the clock buffer, thus latching

the outputs. Taking the clear (CLR) input low causes

the Q outputs to go low independently of the clock.

A buffered output-enable (OE) input can be used to place the nine outputs in either a normal logic state (high or

low logic levels) or the high-impedance state. In the high-impedance state, the outputs neither load nor drive the

bus lines significantly. The high-impedance state and increased drive provide the capability to drive bus lines

without need for interface or pullup components.

The output-enable (OE) input does not affect the internal operation of the flip-flops. Old data can be retained or

new data can be entered while the outputs are in the high-impedance state.

To ensure the high-impedance state during power up or power down, OE should be tied to VCC through a pullup

resistor; the minimum value of the resistor is determined by the current-sinking capability of the driver.

Active bus-hold circuitry is provided to hold unused or floating data inputs at a valid logic level.

The SN74ALVCH16823 is characterized for operation from –40°C to 85°C.
