8-Bit Addressable Latches
General Description
These 8-bit addressable latches are designed for general
purpose storage applications in digital systems. Specific
uses include working registers, serial-holding registers,
and active-high decoders or demultiplexers. They are mul-
tifunctional devices capable of storing single-line data in
eight addressable latches, and being a 1-of-8 decoder or
demultiplexer with active-high outputs.
Four distinct modes of operation are selectable by control-
ling the clear and enable inputs as enumerated in the func-
tion table. In the addressable-latch mode, data at the data-
in terminal is written into the addressed latch. The
addressed latch will follow the data input with all unad-
dressed 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 elimi-
nate the possibility of entering erroneous data in the
latches, the enable should be held HIGH (inactive) while
the address lines are changing. In the 1-of-8 decoding or
demultiplexing mode, the addressed output will follow the
level of the D input with all other outputs LOW. In the clear
mode, all outputs are LOW and unaffected by the address
and data inputs.

Note 1:
The “Absolute Maximum Ratings” are those values beyond which
the safety of the device cannot be guaranteed. The device should not be
operated at these limits. The parametric values defined in the “Electrical
Characteristics” table are not guaranteed at the absolute maximum ratings.
The “Recommended Operating Conditions” table will define the conditions
for actual device operation.

Note 2:
The symbols (↓,

indicate the edge of the clock pulse used for reference:
↑
for rising edge,
↓
for falling edge.
Note 3:
Setup and hold times are with reference to the enable input.
Note 4:
The select-to-enable setup time is the time before the HIGH-to-LOW enable transition that the select must be stable so that the correct latch is
selected and the others not affected.
