description
The ’AS856 features two 8-bit I/O ports (A1-A8
and B1-B8), an 8-bit parallel-load, serial-in,
parallel-out shift register, and control logic. With
these
features,
this
device
is
capable
of
performing eight selectable transceiver or port
functions, depending on the state of the three
control lines OEA, OEB, and MODE. These
functions include: transferring data from port A to
port B or vice versa (i.e., the transceiver function),
serial shifting data to either or both ports, and
performing off-line shifts (with A and B ports active
as transceivers in a high-impedance state).
Synchronous parallel loading of the internal register can be accomplished from either port on the positive
transition of the clock while serially shifting data in via the SERIN input. The ’AS856 is ideally suited for
applications needing signature-analysis circuitry to enhance system verification and/or fault analysis. All serial
data is shifted right. All outputs are buffer-type outputs designed specifically to drive bus lines directly and all
are 3-state except for Q8, which is a totem-pole output.
The SN54AS856 is characterized for operation over the full military temperature range of 55
°C to 125°C. The
SN74AS856 is characterized for operation from 0
°C to 70°C.
