74ACT899
9-Bit Latchable Transceiver with Parity
Generator/Checker
General Description
The ACT899 is a 9-bit to 9-bit parity transceiver with trans-
parent latches. The device can operate as a feed-through
transceiver or it can generate/check parity from the 8-bit
data busses in either direction. The ACT899 features inde-
pendent latch enables for the A-to-B direction and the B-to-
A direction, a select pin for ODD/EVEN parity, and sepa-
rate error signal output pins for checking parity.

Functional Description
The ACT899 has three principal modes of operation which
are outlined below. These modes apply to both the A-to-B
and B-to-A directions.
• Bus A (B) communicates to Bus B (A), parity is gener-
ated and passed on to the B (A) Bus as BPAR (APAR). If
LEB (LEA) is HIGH and the Mode Select (SEL) is LOW,
the parity generated from B[0:7] (A[0:7]) can be checked
and monitored by ERRB (ERRA).
• Bus A (B) communicates to Bus B (A) in a feed-through
mode if SEL is HIGH. Parity is still generated and
checked as ERRA and ERRB in the feed-through mode
(can be used as an interrupt to signal a data/parity bit
error to the CPU).
• Independent Latch Enables (LEA and LEB) allow other
permutations of generating/checking (see Function
Table).
