Description
These Schottky-clamped high-performance multiplexers feature
3-STATE outputs that can interface directly with data lines of bus-organized systems. With all but one of the mon 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 mon 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 3-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.
