Note 1: The "Absolute Maximum Ratings" are those values beyond which the safety of the device cannot be guaranteed. The device should not operated at these limits. The parametric values defined in the Electrical Characteristics tables are not guaranteed at the absolute maximum ratings. The "Recommended Operating Conditions" table will define the conditions for actual device operation.

This 42255 contains four independent gates each of which performs a non-inverting buffer function. The outputs have the 3-STATE feature. When enabled, the outputs of the 42255 exhibit the low impedance characteristics of a standard LS output with additional drive capability to permit the driving of bus lines without external resistors. When disabled, both the output transistors are turned OFF presenting a high-impedance state to the bus line. Thus the output will act neither as a significant load nor as a driver. To minimize the possibility that two outputs will attempt to take a common bus to opposite logic levels, the disable time of 42255 is shorter than the enable time of the outputs.
