What operating modes does the CD54HC259 addressable latch support?
The device provides three active modes—addressable latch, demultiplexer, and memory—and one reset mode where all outputs are forced low.
How should the CD54HC259 family be handled to avoid damage?
These devices are sensitive to electrostatic discharge, so users should follow proper IC handling procedures.
