description
The ’AC16374 are 16-bit edge-triggered D-type
flip-flops with 3-state outputs designed
specifically for driving highly capacitive or
relatively low-impedance loads. They are
particularly suitable for implementing buffer
registers, I/O ports, bidirectional bus drivers, and
working registers.
The ’AC16374 can be used as two 8-bit flip-flops or one 16-bit flip-flop. On the positive transition of the clock
(CLK) input, the Q outputs of the flip-flop take on the logic levels set up at the data (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.
OE does not affect the internal operations of the flip-flop. Old data can be retained or new data can be entered
while the outputs are in the high-impedance state.
The 74AC16374 is packaged in TI’s shrink small-outline package, which provides twice the I/O pin count and
functionality of standard small-outline packages in the same printed-circuit-board area.
The 54AC16374 is characterized for operation over the full military temperature range of –55°C to 125°C. The
74AC16374 is characterized for operation from –40°C to 85°C.
