The 'ABT16843 18-bit bus-interface D-type latches 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. The 'ABT16843 can be used as two 9-bit latches or one 18-bit latch. The 18 latches are transparent D-type latches. The device provides true data at its outputs.
