Product specification
74F256
Dual addressable latch
2
1988 Nov 29
853–0359 95207
FEATURES
Combines dual demultiplexer and 8-bit latch
Serial-to-parallel capability
Output from each storage bit available
Random (addressable) data entry
Easily expandable
Common reset input
Useful as dual 1-of-4 active High decoder
DESCRIPTION
The 74F256 dual addressable latch has four distinct modes of
operation which are selectable by controlling the Master Reset (MR)
and Enable (E) inputs (see Function Table). In the addressable latch
mode, data at the Data inputs is written into the addressed latches.
The addressed latches will follow the Data input with all
unaddressed latches remaining in their previous states. In the
memory mode, all latches remain in their previous states and are
unaffected by the Data or Address inputs. To eliminate the possibility
of entering erroneous data in the latches, the enable should be held
High (inactive) while the address lines are changing. In the dual
1-of-4 decoding or demultiplexing mode (MR=E=Low), addressed
outputs will follow the level of the Data inputs, with all other outputs
Low. In the Master Reset mode, all outputs are Low and unaffected
by the Address and Data inputs.
