Texas Instruments SN54ABT373

the eight latches of the abt373 are transparent d-type latches. while the latch-enable (le) input is high the q outputs follow the data (d) inputs. when le is taken low the q outputs are latched at the logic levels set up at the 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 increased drive provide the capability to drive bus lines without need for interface or pullup components. oe\ does not affect the internal operations of the latches. old data can be retained or new data can be entered while the outputs are in the high-impedance state. view all in datasheet
