What is SN74ALS996DW used for?
The SN74ALS996DW is widely used as a data bus buffer and storage register in microprocessor-based systems, where its 3-state outputs allow multiple devices to share a common data bus without signal contention. It is suitable for address latching, data pipelining, and input/output port expansion in embedded control systems and industrial automation equipment. The ALS logic family's balance of speed and low power consumption also makes it a strong choice for battery-sensitive portable instrumentation and telecommunications interface designs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the SN74ALS996DW and what does it do?
The SN74ALS996DW is an octal (8-bit) D-type edge-triggered register with 3-state outputs from Texas Instruments' Advanced Low-power Schottky (ALS) logic family. It captures 8 bits of parallel data on the rising clock edge and can drive or release a shared data bus using its active-low output enable control, making it ideal for bus interfacing applications.
What are the key electrical specifications of the SN74ALS996DW?
The SN74ALS996DW operates from a 5V supply voltage, features 8 data inputs and 8 corresponding 3-state outputs, and is housed in a 20-pin SOIC (DW) package. As an ALS-family device it offers propagation delays typically in the 6–10 ns range, with low quiescent current consumption compared to standard TTL, and guaranteed operation across the industrial temperature range.
What is the difference between ALS and standard TTL logic?
ALS (Advanced Low-power Schottky) is an improved TTL sub-family that provides approximately 75% lower power consumption than standard TTL while maintaining comparable or faster switching speeds (typically under 10 ns propagation delay). The SN74ALS996DW benefits from these characteristics, making it more power-efficient than 74LS or standard 74 series equivalents in the same octal register role.
Can the SN74ALS996DW be used to interface with 3.3V logic systems?
The SN74ALS996DW is designed for 5V TTL-level operation. While its output low level is compatible with most CMOS inputs, direct interfacing with 3.3V systems may require level-shifting circuitry to avoid damaging the lower-voltage devices. For mixed-voltage designs, Texas Instruments offers dedicated 3.3V-compatible logic translators as a safer alternative.
How do I order the SN74ALS996DW and what packaging options are available?
The SN74ALS996DW is available in the 20-pin SOIC wide-body (DW) surface-mount package, priced from approximately $8.69 per unit. It can be ordered through FindMyChip with worldwide shipping.
