The 74173 IC 4-Bit D-Type Register with 3-State Outputs, designated as SN74LS173N and manufactured by XBLW, is a high-performance monolithic integrated circuit comprising four D-type flip-flops with totem-pole 3-state outputs, optimized for direct interfacing with system buses in digital logic applications. This device supports two operational modes���parallel load and hold���controlled by gated enable inputs (G1 and G2), allowing data entry at the D inputs to be latched on the positive clock transition when both enables are low, or maintaining the current state when high.
Features:
- 3-State Outputs Interface Directly With System Bus
- Gated Output-Control LInes for Enabling or Disabling the Outputs
- Fully Independent Clock Virtually Eliminates Restrictions for Operating in One of Two Modes: ��� Parallel Load ��� Do Nothing (Hold)
- For applications such as Bus Buffer Registe"wp-block-heading">Specifications:
