74ACTQ823
Functional Description
The ACTQ823 consists of nine D-type edge-triggered flip-
flops. These have 3-STATE outputs for bus systems orga-
nized with inputs and outputs on opposite sides. The buff-
ered clock (CP) and buffered Output Enable (OE) are
common to all flip-flops. The flip-flops will store the state of
their individual D inputs that meet the setup and hold time
requirements on the LOW-to-HIGH CP transition. With OE
LOW, the contents of the flip-flops are available at the out-
puts. When OE is HIGH, the outputs go to the high imped-
ance state. Operation of the OE input does not affect the
state of the flip-flops. In addition to the Clock and Output
Enable pins, there are Clear (CLR) and Clock Enable (EN)
pins. These devices are ideal for parity bus interfacing in
high performance systems.
When CLR is LOW and OE is LOW, the outputs are LOW.
When CLR is HIGH, data can be entered into the flip-flops.
When EN is LOW, data on the inputs is transferred to the
outputs on the LOW-to-HIGH clock transition. When the
EN is HIGH, the outputs do not change state, regardless of
the data or clock input transitions.

Note 1:
Absolute maximum ratings are those values beyond which dam-
age to the device may occur. The databook specifications should be met,
without exception, to ensure that the system design is reliable over its
power supply, temperature, and output/input loading variables. Fairchild
does not recommend operation of FACT circuits outside databook specifi-
cations.

FACT Noise Characteristics
The setup of a noise characteristics measurement is critical
to the accuracy and repeatability of the tests. The following
is a brief description of the setup used to measure the
noise characteristics of FACT.
Equipment:
Hewlett Packard Model 8180A Word Generator
PC-163A Test Fixture
Tektronics Model 7854 Oscilloscope
Procedure:
1. Verify Test Fixture Loading: Standard Load 50 pF,
500
Ω
.
2. Deskew the HFS generator so that no two channels
have greater than 150 ps skew between them. This
requires that the oscilloscope be deskewed first. It is
important to deskew the HFS generator channels
before testing. This will ensure that the outputs switch
simultaneously.
3. Terminate all inputs and outputs to ensure proper load-
ing of the outputs and that the input levels are at the
correct voltage.
4. Set the HFS generator to toggle all but one output at a
frequency of 1 MHz. Greater frequencies will increase
DUT heating and effect the results of the measure-
ment.

and V
OHP

:
• Determine the quiet output pin that demonstrates the
greatest noise levels. The worst case pin will usually be
the furthest from the ground pin. Monitor the output volt-
ages using a 50
Ω
coaxial cable plugged into a standard
SMB type connector on the test fixture. Do not use an
active FET probe.
• Measure V
OLP
and V
OLV
on the quiet output during the
worst case transition for active and enable. Measure
V
OHP
and V
OHV
on the quiet output during the worst
case transition for active and enable.
• Verify that the GND reference recorded on the oscillo-
scope has not drifted to ensure the accuracy and repeat-
ability of the measurements.
V
ILD
and V
IHD
:
• Monitor one of the switching outputs using a 50
Ω
coaxial
cable plugged into a standard SMB type connector on
the test fixture. Do not use an active FET probe.
• First increase the input LOW voltage level, V
IL
, until the
output begins to oscillate or steps out a min of 2 ns.
Oscillation is defined as noise on the output LOW level
that exceeds V
IL
limits, or on output HIGH levels that
exceed V
IH
limits. The input LOW voltage level at which
oscillation occurs is defined as V
ILD
.
• Next decrease the input HIGH voltage level, V
IH
, until
the output begins to oscillate or steps out a min of 2 ns.
Oscillation is defined as noise on the output LOW level
that exceeds V
IL
limits, or on output HIGH levels that
exceed V
IH
limits. The input HIGH voltage level at which
oscillation occurs is defined as V
IHD
.
• Verify that the GND reference recorded on the oscillo-
scope has not drifted to ensure the accuracy and repeat-
ability of the measurements.
V
OHV
and V
OLP
are measured with respect to ground reference.
Input pulses have the following characteristics: f

1 MHz, t
r
=

f
=

<
150 ps.

HIGH for ACT devices and 0V LOW and 5V HIGH for
AC devices. Verify levels with an oscilloscope.
