description
These 18-bit flip-flops feature 3-state outputs
designed specifically for driving highly capacitive
or relatively low-impedance loads. They are
particularly suitable for implementing wider buffer
registers, I/O ports, bidirectional bus drivers with
parity, and working registers.
The ’ABTH16823 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, 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 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 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.
