DESCRIPTION/ORDERING INFORMATION

The 'LVTH16374 devices are 16-bit edge-triggered D-type flip-flops with 3-state outputs designed for low-voltage

(3.3-V) VCC operation, but with the capability to provide a TTL interface to a 5-V system environment. These

devices are particularly suitable for implementing buffer registers, I/O ports, bidirectional bus drivers, and working

registers.

These devices can be used as two 8-bit flip-flops or one 16-bit flip-flop. On the positive transition of the clock

(CLK), the Q outputs of the flip-flop take on the logic levels set up at the data (D) inputs.

A buffered output-enable (OE) 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-impedance state, the outputs neither load nor drive the

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

without need for interface or pullup components.

OE does not affect internal operations of the flip-flop. Old data can be retained or new data can be entered while

the outputs are in the high-impedance state.

Active bus-hold circuitry holds unused or undriven inputs at a valid logic state. Use of pullup or pulldown resistors

with the bus-hold circuitry is not recommended.
