Product details
Overview
SN74ALS880ADW from Texas Instruments is a dual 4-bit transparent D-type latch with 3-state inverted outputs, designed for bus driving in TTL-compatible systems. It operates at 4.5–5.5 V, supports 0°C to 70°C ambient, delivers 24 mA sink current per output, and features independent latch enable (C), output control (OC), and preset (PRE) inputs for synchronous bus management in I/O port and register applications.
For engineers reviewing the SN74ALS880ADW datasheet, SN74ALS880ADW pinout, SN74ALS880ADW application, or SN74ALS880ADW equivalent, key selection criteria include its inverted-output logic behavior, 3-state bus-driving capability, 20 ns max propagation delay (C→Q), 10 ns setup/hold timing, and DW package compatibility with standard 20-pin SOIC footprints.
Technical Context
This device implements two independent 4-bit latches with active-low preset and separate 3-state output control per latch group. Each latch propagates inverted D-input data to Q when C is high; latching occurs on C low transition. OC asserts high-impedance state regardless of C or PRE status.
Logic-level compatibility follows ALS family specifications: VIH = 2 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max, VOH ≥ 2.4 V at –2.6 mA, VOL ≤ 0.4 V at 24 mA. Propagation delays are specified under CL = 50 pF, R1/R2 = 500 Ω load conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures stable operation across standard TTL rail tolerances |
| Output Drive (IOL) | 24 mA per output - sufficient to drive multiple TTL loads directly on shared buses |
| Propagation Delay (C→Q) | Max 24 ns at VCC = 4.5 V - defines maximum clock-to-output timing for synchronous latch updates |
| Setup/Hold Time | 10 ns each - constrains minimum data stability window before and after C↓ edge |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to 70°C - qualifies for commercial-grade embedded and industrial control environments |
| 3-State Enable Delay | tPZH/tPHZ ≤ 10 ns - enables fast bus turnaround between read/write cycles |
Pinout & Package
SN74ALS880ADW uses a 20-pin SOIC (DW) package with 0.300-inch width and standard JEDEC MS-013 outline. Pin spacing is 0.050 inch, body width 7.5 mm, and thermal resistance (θJA) ≈ 120°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 | 1D1–1D4, 2D1–2D4 | Data inputs for latch 1 and latch 2 - inverted latching requires external inversion if non-inverted storage is needed |
| 9, 10, 11, 12, 15, 16, 17, 18 | 1Q1–1Q4, 2Q1–2Q4 | Inverted latch outputs - high-impedance when OC = high, latched value when C = low |
| 13, 14 | 1C, 2C | Latch enable controls - Q follows D when high; latches on falling edge |
| 19, 20 | 1OC, 2OC | Output control - high forces all four Q outputs into high-Z state independently of C or PRE |
| 21, 22 | 1PRE, 2PRE | Asynchronous preset - low forces Q outputs low regardless of C or D state |
| 10, 20 | GND, VCC | Power terminals - decoupling capacitor required at VCC pin for noise immunity in bus applications |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Inverted Output Logic | Q = NOT(D) when enabled - eliminates need for external inverters in complemented bus architectures |
| Independent Output Control | Dual OC pins allow selective disabling of either 4-bit latch group - enables interleaved bus access without contention |
| Asynchronous Preset | Preset overrides latch state and output control - provides hardware reset capability without clock dependency |
| Bus-Structured Pinout | Input/output grouping minimizes trace length and crosstalk in PCB layout - reduces signal integrity risk on dense backplanes |
Applications
| Microprocessor I/O Port Expansion | Bidirectional Data Bus Interface |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Expanding 8-bit microprocessor address/data bus with additional parallel I/O lines using shared bus architecture. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual latch buffers data between CPU and peripheral devices; OC pins coordinate direction control with transceiver enable signals. Use Value: Enables single-cycle data capture and hold with 10 ns timing margins, supporting 25 MHz bus clock rates in legacy 8080/Z80 systems. | Use Scenario: Isolating bidirectional data paths between master and slave controllers on a common bus segment. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Acts as direction-controlled latch bank; PRE pins synchronize reset across both latch groups during bus arbitration. Use Value: Eliminates external OR logic for bus turn-around control, reducing component count while maintaining 24 mA drive strength per line. |
| Working Register File | Buffered Address Latch |
Use Scenario: Storing intermediate computation results in fixed-function digital controllers where volatile registers must retain state between instruction cycles. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Transparent latch mode captures ALU output on clock high; latched mode holds value during subsequent ALU operation. Use Value: Provides deterministic 24 ns max latency from input to stable output, enabling pipelined execution in hardwired state machines. | Use Scenario: Latching upper address bits during multiplexed address/data bus cycles in 8086-based systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: First latch group holds A8–A11; second group holds A12–A15; OC pins disable outputs during data phase. Use Value: Ensures address validity throughout memory access cycle with <10 ns setup margin relative to ALE assertion. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual 4-bit latch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ALS873BDW | Non-inverting outputs; identical pinout and timing | Eliminates need for external inversion when direct logic polarity is required | Select when system design mandates true (non-inverted) Q = D behavior without added gates |
| SN74AS880DWR | Faster propagation (6–11.5 ns C→Q); higher drive (48 mA IOL); AS family speed grade | Supports >30 MHz bus operation but consumes ~5× more ICC in active state | Select when timing budget is critical and power dissipation can be managed via thermal design |
Compared with SN74ALS880ADW, SN74ALS873BDW offers functional equivalence with polarity reversal, while SN74AS880DWR trades higher speed and drive for increased power consumption and reduced noise margin - choice depends on whether timing headroom or power efficiency dominates the system constraint.

FAQ
What logic polarity does SN74ALS880ADW implement at its Q outputs?
SN74ALS880ADW implements inverted output logic: Q = NOT(D) when the latch enable (C) is high and output control (OC) is low. This behavior is confirmed in the function table and logic diagram of the official SDAS079A datasheet. The inversion applies to all eight Q outputs across both 4-bit latch sections. External inverters are required if non-inverted storage is needed in the target application.
Does SN74ALS880ADW support true 5-V TTL voltage levels?
Yes, SN74ALS880ADW is fully compatible with standard 5-V TTL signaling. Its VIH threshold is 2.0 V min, VIL is 0.8 V max, VOH is ≥2.4 V at –2.6 mA, and VOL is ≤0.4 V at 24 mA - all meeting or exceeding TTL interface requirements. These values are verified in the "Electrical Characteristics" section of the SDAS079A datasheet for the SN74ALS880A variant.
How does the PRE input interact with OC and C in SN74ALS880ADW?
In SN74ALS880ADW, the PRE input is asynchronous and dominant: when PRE is low, all Q outputs force low regardless of the states of C or OC. This override occurs even when OC is high (3-state) or C is high (transparent mode). The function table explicitly confirms Q = L when PRE = L, making PRE a hardware reset signal independent of clock or output-enable timing.
Can SN74ALS880ADW drive multiple 74LS TTL inputs directly?
Yes, SN74ALS880ADW can drive up to 10 standard 74LS TTL inputs per output. With IOL = 24 mA and typical 74LS input current of –0.4 mA, the fanout calculation yields 24 ÷ 0.4 = 60, but derated for noise margin and worst-case VCC, 10 is a robust design limit. This capability is validated by TI's bus-driving specification and confirmed in the "3-State Buffer-Type Outputs Drive Bus Lines Directly" feature statement.
Is SN74ALS880ADW pin-compatible with SN74ALS873BDW?
Yes, SN74ALS880ADW and SN74ALS873BDW share identical pinouts, package dimensions, and timing specifications - differing only in output polarity (inverted vs. non-inverted). This pin compatibility is documented in the "'ALS873B is Alternative Version With Noninverting Outputs" note and confirmed by matching pin numbering and function assignments in the SDAS079A datasheet top-view diagrams for DW packages.
