M74HC623

The M54/74HC620/623 are high speed CMOS OCTAL BUS TRANSCEIVERS fabricated in silicon gate C2MOS technology. They have the same high speed performance of LSTTL combined with true CMOS low power consumption. These octal bus transceivers are designed for asynchronous two-way communication between data buses. The control function implementation allows
maximum flexibility in timing.

The M54/74HC620/623  allow data transmission from the A bus to B bus or from the B to the A bus depending upon the logic levels at the enable inputs (GBA and GAB). The enable inputs can be used to disable the device so that the buses are effectively isolated.

The dual-enable configuration gives these devices the capability to storedata by simultaneous enabling of GBA and GAB.

Each output of M54/74HC620/623 reinforces its input in this transceiver configuration. Thus, when both control inputs are enabled and all other data sources to the two sets of bus lines are at high impedance, both sets of bus lines (16 in all) will remain at their last states. The 8- bit codes appearing on the two sets of buses will be identical for the 'HC623 or complementary for the 'HC620. All inputs are equipped with protection circuits against static discharge and transient excess voltage.
