TRI-STATEé Quad 2-Data Selectors/Multiplexers
General Description
These Schottky-clamped high-performance multiplexers
feature TRI-STATE outputs that can interface directly with
data lines of bus-organized systems. With all but one of the
common outputs disabled (at a high impedance state), the
low impedance of the single enabled output will drive the
bus line to a high or low logic level. To minimize the possibility
that two outputs will attempt to take a common bus to
opposite logic levels, the output enable circuitry is designed
such that the output disable times are shorter than the output
enable times.
This TRI-STATE output feature means that n-bit (paralleled)
data selectors with up to 258 sources can be implemented
for data buses. It also permits the use of standard TTL registers
for data retention throughout the system.
