IDT74ALVCH16374

This 16-bit edge-triggered D-type flip-flop of the IDT74ALVCH16374 is built using advanced dual metal CMOS technology. The ALVCH16374 is particularly suitable for implementing buffer registers, I/O ports, bidirectional bus drivers, and working registers. It 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 at the data (D) inputs. OE 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 highimpedance state and the increased drive provide the capability to drive bus lines without need for interface or pullup components. OE does not affect 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 IDT74ALVCH16374 has been designed with a ±24mA output driver. This driver is capable of driving a moderate to heavy load while maintaining speed performance.

The IDT74ALVCH16374 has "bus-hold" which retains the inputs' last state whenever the input goes to a high impedance. This prevents floating inputs and eliminates the need for pull-up/down resistor.
