The 74F Extended Octal-Plus Family incorporates all of the latest
Philips Semiconductors octal, 9-bit and 10-bit buffer, transceiver,
latch and register functions. all devices in this family utilize the
Philips Semiconductors patented “Light-Load” NPN, ±20mA input
current structure and have “flow-through” or “broadside” input/output
pin configurations where the inputs and outputs are lined-up on
opposite sides of a standard 24-pin Slim-DIP package. The
“l(fā)ight-load” inputs, “broadside” design and high functional
density/performance of the family make this product line ideal for
buffering the limited drive capabilities of standard, custom and
semicustom MOS VLSI devices to the rigorous environments of
today’s leading edge high performance logic designs. The family
also is an excellent choice for all general interface applications.
