The output-enable inputs disable the device so that the buses are effectively isolated. The dual-enable configuration gives the transceivers the capability to store data by simultaneously enabling OEAB and OEBA. Each output reinforces its input in this transceiver configuration. When both OEAB and OEBA are enabled and all other data sources to the two sets of bus lines are in the high-impedance state, both sets of bus lines (16 total) remain at their last states. The 8-bit codes appearing on the two sets of buses are identical.
