The SN74AS867FN is a type of integrated circuit (IC) component that belongs to the 74AS family. This particular IC is a 16-Bit Bus Interface Flip-Flop with 3-State Outputs. It is designed to provide reliable and efficient data storage and transfer capabilities for various digital systems. Here are the key features and functionalities of the SN74AS867FN:
1. 16-Bit Bus Interface: The IC offers a 16-bit wide data bus interface, allowing it to handle data transfers of up to 16 bits at a time. This wide bus width enables efficient communication between different parts of a digital system.
2. Flip-Flop Functionality: The SN74AS867FN consists of 16 individual D-type flip-flops, one for each bit of the data bus. These flip-flops can store data on the rising edge or falling edge of the clock signal, depending on the configuration.
3. 3-State Outputs: The IC features 3-state outputs, which means that the individual data bits on the bus can be disconnected from the system, effectively entering a high-impedance state. This feature allows multiple components to share a common bus without interfering with each other's signals.
4. Enable Control: The IC provides an active LOW Enable input, which allows or disables the data transfer operation
