The SN74LS398N by Texas Instruments is a high-performance, quad 2-port register that is part of the 74LS logic family. This integrated circuit is designed to offer a versatile solution for temporary storage of data and transfer between two buses in digital systems.

Key Features

• Logic Type: Quad 2-Port Register
• Package: 16-Pin PDIP (Plastic Dual-In-Line Package)
• Operating Voltage: 4.75 V to 5.25 V
• Operating Temperature: 0°C to 70°C
• Logic Family: LS
• Propagation Delay Time: Typically 18 ns

Performance and Applications

The SN74LS398N is engineered to have low power consumption and high noise immunity, characteristic of the LS technology. It features a dual 4-bit design, which allows for the simultaneous transfer of two 4-bit words from two sets of four input/output buses. Each pair of registers is controlled by independent clock and enable inputs, which facilitates flexible control of data transfer and storage.

This component is often utilized in data buffering applications, where temporary data storage is required. It is also suitable for use in systems that require data to be transferred between different buses or units, such as microprocessor or microcontroller-based systems, data communication equipment, and control systems.
