Functional Description

The LVQ373 contains eight D-type latches with 3-STATE

standard outputs. When the Latch Enable (LE) input is

dition the latches are transparent, i.e., a latch output will

change state each time its D-type input changes. When LE

is LOW, the latches store the information that was present

on the D-type inputs a

setup time

preceding the

HIGH-to-LOW transition of LE. The 3-STATE standard out-

puts are controlled by the Output Enable (OE) input. When

OE is LOW, the standard outputs are in the 2-state mode.

When OE is HIGH, the standard outputs are in the high

impedance mode but this does not interfere with entering

new data into the latches.
