DM74AS374
Octal D-Type Edge-Triggered Flip-Flops
with 3-STATE Outputs
General Description
Features
■ Switching specifications at 50 pF
These 8-bit registers feature totem-pole 3-STATE outputs
designed specifically for driving highly-capacitive or rela-
tively low-impedance loads. The high-impedance state and
increased high-logic-level drive provide these registers with
the capability of being connected directly to and driving the
bus lines in a bus-organized system without need for inter-
face or pull-up components. They are particularly attractive
for implementing buffer registers, I/O ports, bidirectional
bus drivers, and working registers.
■ Switching specifications guaranteed over full tempera-
ture and VCC range
■ Advanced oxide-isolated, ion-implanted Schottky TTL
process
■ Functionally and pin-for-pin compatible with LS and ALS
TTL counterparts
■ Improved AC performance over LS and ALS TTL coun-
terparts
The eight flip-flops of the AS374 are edge-triggered D-type
flip-flops. On the positive transition of the clock, the Q out-
puts will be set to the logic states that were set up at the D
inputs.
■ 3-STATE buffer-type outputs drive bus lines directly
A buffered output control 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-imped-
ance state the outputs neither load nor drive the bus lines
significantly.
The output control does not affect the internal operation of
the flip-flops. That is, the old data can be retained or new
data can be entered even while the outputs are off.
