Functional Description
The ACT823 consists of nine D-type edge-triggered flip-
flops. These have 3-STATE outputs for bus systems orga-
nized with inputs and outputs on opposite sides. The buff-
ered clock (CP) and buffered Output Enable (OE) are
common to all flip-flops. The flip-flops will store the state of
their individual D-type inputs that meet the setup and hold
time requirements on the LOW-to-HIGH CP transition. With
OE LOW, the contents of the flip-flops are available at the
outputs. When OE is HIGH, the outputs go to the high
impedance state. Operation of the OE input does not affect
the state of the flip-flops. In addition to the Clock and Out-
put Enable pins, there are Clear (CLR) and Clock Enable
(EN) pins. These devices are ideal for parity bus interfacing
in high performance systems.
When CLR is LOW and OE is LOW, the outputs are LOW.
When CLR is HIGH, data can be entered into the flip-flops.
When EN is LOW, data on the inputs is transferred to the
outputs on the LOW-to-HIGH clock transition. When the
EN is HIGH, the outputs do not change state, regardless of
the data or clock input transitions.
