The 74F328PC is a Quadruple Bidirectional Transceiver with Parity Generator/Checker manufactured by Fairchild/ON Semiconductor. It is part of the 74F family of Fast TTL logic devices designed for high-speed data transmission and error detection. The 'PC' suffix usually indicates a plastic dual in-line package (DIP).

Applications

• Parallel data transmission
• Error detection in data communication
• Memory interface
• Peripheral interface
• Data bus buffering

Features

• Quadruple bidirectional transceiver
• Parity generation and checking capabilities
• High-speed operation
• TTL compatible inputs and outputs
• Separate Transmit Enable and Receive Enable controls
• Plastic DIP package (PC variant)

Benefits

• Efficient bidirectional data transmission
• Data integrity through parity error detection
• Fast data transfer rates
• Easy interfacing with other TTL logic devices
• Flexible control of transmit and receive functions
• Through-hole mounting for robust connections

Additional Details

The 74F328PC consists of four independent transceiver channels, each capable of transmitting or receiving data. The parity generator/checker calculates and verifies the parity of the transmitted or received data, allowing for detection of single-bit errors. Separate Transmit Enable and Receive Enable controls allow for independent control of the direction of data flow. The device operates from a 5V power supply, and its electrical characteristics, including propagation delays, input and output voltage levels, and power consumption, are fully specified in the Fairchild/ON Semiconductor datasheet. The plastic DIP package provides through-hole mounting for robust mechanical connections. Datasheets provide precise timing characteristics and details on its parity generation implementation.
