SN74ALS259DR

Texas Instruments · Latches · SOIC-16

SN74ALS259DR from Texas Instruments, in a SOIC-16. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 S0 input Address select input S0 (LSB) chooses which of the eight latches is addressed, and it must be stable with 15 ns minimum setup before G rises and 0 ns hold after G rises for the SN74ALS259.
2 S1 input Address select input S1 chooses which of the eight latches is addressed, and it must be stable with 15 ns minimum setup before G rises and 0 ns hold after G rises for the SN74ALS259.
3 S2 input Address select input S2 (MSB) chooses which of the eight latches is addressed, and it must be stable with 15 ns minimum setup before G rises and 0 ns hold after G rises for the SN74ALS259.
4 Q0 output Latch output Q0 follows D when latch 0 is addressed in the addressable-latch mode, and is rated for IOL of 8 mA and IOH of −0.4 mA.
5 Q1 output Latch output Q1 follows D when latch 1 is addressed in the addressable-latch mode, and is rated for IOL of 8 mA and IOH of −0.4 mA.
6 Q2 output Latch output Q2 follows D when latch 2 is addressed in the addressable-latch mode, and is rated for IOL of 8 mA and IOH of −0.4 mA.
7 Q3 output Latch output Q3 follows D when latch 3 is addressed in the addressable-latch mode, and is rated for IOL of 8 mA and IOH of −0.4 mA.
8 GND power_in Ground reference for the device.
9 Q4 output Latch output Q4 follows D when latch 4 is addressed in the addressable-latch mode, and is rated for IOL of 8 mA and IOH of −0.4 mA.
10 Q5 output Latch output Q5 follows D when latch 5 is addressed in the addressable-latch mode, and is rated for IOL of 8 mA and IOH of −0.4 mA.
11 Q6 output Latch output Q6 follows D when latch 6 is addressed in the addressable-latch mode, and is rated for IOL of 8 mA and IOH of −0.4 mA.
12 Q7 output Latch output Q7 follows D when latch 7 is addressed in the addressable-latch mode, and is rated for IOL of 8 mA and IOH of −0.4 mA.
13 D input Data input written into the addressed latch when G is low and CLR is high, with 15 ns minimum setup and 0 ns hold relative to G rising for the SN74ALS259.
14 G input Active-low enable G: the addressed latch takes the D level while G is low, and G should be held high while the address lines change to avoid erroneous data entry.
15 CLR input Active-low asynchronous clear: when low, all outputs Q0 through Q7 are forced low regardless of address and data, with a minimum low pulse of 10 ns.
16 VCC power_in Supply voltage, recommended 4.5 V to 5.5 V (5 V nominal), with an absolute maximum of 7 V.
