Features
- 4 D-type transparent latches
- Two enable inputs (each controls 2 latches)
- Complementary Q and Q̄ outputs
- Transparent: Q follows D while enable is HIGH
- Latched: Q holds when enable goes LOW
- Diode-clamped inputs
Applications
- Data holding registers
- Address latching
- I/O port buffering
- Indicator drivers
