MM74HC259 8-Bit Addressable Latch/3-to-8 Line Decoder
September 1983 Revised February 1999
MM74HC259 8-Bit Addressable Latch/3-to-8 Line Decoder
General Description
The MM74HC259 device utilizes advanced silicon-gate CMOS technology to implement an 8-bit addressable latch, designed for general purpose storage applications in digital systems. The MM74HC259 has a single data input (D), 8 latch outputs (Q1–Q8), 3 address inputs (A, B, and C), a common enable input (G), and a common CLEAR input. To operate this device as an addressable latch, data is held on the D input, and the address of the latch into which the data is to be entered is held on the A, B, and C inputs. When ENABLE is taken LOW the data flows through to the addressed output.
