DM74LS670
3-STATE 4-by-4 Register File
General Description
These register files are organized as 4 words of 4 bits
each, and separate on-chip decoding is provided for
addressing the four word locations to either write-in or
retrieve data. This permits writing into one location, and
reading from another word location, simultaneously.
Four data inputs are available to supply the word to be
stored. Location of the word is determined by the write
select inputs A and B, in conjunction with a write-enable
signal. Data applied at the inputs should be in its true form.
That is, if a high level signal is desired from the output, a
high level is applied at the data input for that particular bit
location. The latch inputs are arranged so that new data
will be accepted only if both internal address gate inputs
are HIGH. When this condition exists, data at the D input is
transferred to the latch output. When the write-enable
input, G
W
, is HIGH, the data inputs are inhibited and their
levels can cause no change in the information stored in the
internal latches. When the read-enable input, G
R
, is HIGH,
the data outputs are inhibited and go into the high imped-
ance state.
The individual address lines permit direct acquisition of
data stored in any four of the latches. Four individual
decoding gates are used to complete the address for read-
ing a word. When the read address is made in conjunction
with the read-enable signal, the word appears at the four
outputs.
This arrangement—data entry addressing separate from
data read addressing and individual sense line — elimi-
nates recovery times, permits simultaneous reading and
writing, and is limited in speed only by the write time (27 ns
typical) and the read time (24 ns typical). The register file
has a non-volatile readout in that data is not lost when
addressed.
All inputs (except read enable and write enable) are buff-
ered to lower the drive requirements to one normal Series
DM74LS load, and input clamping diodes minimize switch-
ing transients to simplify system design. High speed, dou-
ble ended AND-OR-INVERT gates are employed for the
read-address function and have high sink current, 3-STATE
outputs. Up to 128 of these outputs may be wire-AND con-
nected for increasing the capacity up to 512 words. Any
number of these registers may be paralleled to provide n-
bit word length.

Note 4:
The “Absolute Maximum Ratings” are those values beyond which
the safety of the device cannot be guaranteed. The device should not be
operated at these limits. The parametric values defined in the Electrical
Characteristics tables are not guaranteed at the absolute maximum ratings.
The “Recommended Operating Conditions” table will define the conditions
for actual device operation.

Times are with respect to the Write-Enable input. Write-Select time will protect the data written into the previous address. If protection of data in the
previous address, t

will result in data being written into that location. Depending on the duration of the input conditions, one or a number of previous addresses may have been
written into.
Note 7:
Latch time is the time allowed for the internal output of the latch to assume the state of new data. This is important only when attempting to read from
a location immediately after that location has received new data.
