SN54ALS29843

These 9-bit latches SN54ALS29843 feature three-state outputs designed specifically for driving highly capacitive or relatively low-impedance loads. SN54ALS29843 is particularly suitable for implementing buffer registers, I/O ports, bidirectional bus drivers, and working registers.

The nine latches are transparent D-type. The SN54ALS29843 has noninverting data (D) inputs.

The SN54ALS29843 has inverting D inputs. A buffered output control (OC) input can be used to place the nine outputs in either a normal logic state (high or low levels) or a high-impedance state. The outputs are also in the high-impedance state during power-up and power-down conditions. The outputs of SN54ALS29843 remain in the high-impedance state while the device is powered-down. In the high-impedance state, the outputs neither load nor drive the bus lines significantly. The high-impedance state and increased drive of SN54ALS29843 provide the capability to drive the bus lines in a bus-organized system without need for interface or pullup components.

The output control of SN54ALS29843(OC) does not affect the internal operation of the latches. Old data can be retained or new data can be entered while the outputs are off.

The SN54ALS29843 is characterized for operation over the full military range of 55°C to 125°C. The SN74ALS29843 and SN74ALS29844 are characterized for operation from 0°C to 70°C.
