Description

74LS256 Dual 4-Bit Addressable Latch IC

74LS256 belongs to the 74XXYY IC series. 74LS256 is a Dual 4-Bit Addressable Latch with common control inputs; these include two Address inputs (A0, A1), an active LOW Enable input (E), and an active LOW Clear input (CL). Each latch has a Data input (D) and four outputs (Q0–Q3). The 74LS256 IC has a wide range of working voltage, a wide range of working conditions, and directly interfaces with CMOS, NMOS, and TTL. The output of the IC always comes in TTL which makes it easy to work with other TTL devices and microcontrollers. The IC offers a wide array of features such as variable operating voltages & thermal overload protection.
