These octal transparent D-type latches with 3-state outputs are designed specifically for driving highly capacitive or relatively low-impedance loads. They are particularly suitable for implementing buffer registers, I/O ports, bidirectional bus drivers, and working registers.

When the latch-enable (LE) input is high, the Q\ outputs follow the complements of the data (D) inputs. When LE is taken low, the Q\ outputs are latched at the inverse of the levels at the D inputs.

A buffered output-enable () input can be used to place the eight outputs in either a normal logic state (high or low logic levels) or a high-impedance state. In the high-impedance state, the outputs neither load nor drive the bus lines significantly. The high-impedance state and increased drive provide the capability to drive bus lines without need for interface or pullup components.

does not affect the internal operations of the latches. Previously stored data can be retained or new data can be entered while the outputs are in the high-impedance state.

To ensure the high-impedance state during power up or power down, should be tied to VCC through a pullup resistor; the minimum value of the resistor is determined by the current-sinking capability of the driver.

The SN54ABT533 is characterized for operation over the full military temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. The SN74ABT533A is characterized for operation from -40°C to 85°C.
