This octal ECL-to-TTL translator is designed to provide efficient translation between a 10KH ECL signal environment and a TTL signal environment. This device is designed specifically to improve the performance and density of ECL-to-TTL CPU/bus-oriented functions such as memory-address drivers, clock drivers, and bus-oriented receivers and transmitters.

The eight flip-flops of the SN10KHT5574 are edge-triggered D-type flip-flops. On the positive transition of the clock, the Q outputs are set to the logic levels that were set up at the D inputs.

A buffered output-enable input (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.
