The 'ABT833 8-bit to 9-bit parity transceivers are designed for communication between data buses. When data is transmitted from the A bus to the B bus, a parity bit is generated. When data is transmitted from the B bus to the A bus with its corresponding parity bit, the open-collector parity-error () output indicates whether or not an error in the B data has occurred. The output-enable (and) inputs can be used to disable the device so that the buses are effectively isolated. The 'ABT833 provide true data at their outputs.

A 9-bit parity generator/checker generates a parity-odd (PARITY) output and monitors the parity of the I/O ports with theflag.is clocked into the register on the rising edge of the clock (CLK) input. The error flag register is cleared with a low pulse on the clear () input. When bothandare low, data is transferred from the A bus to the B bus and inverted parity is generated. Inverted parity is a forced error condition that gives the designer more system diagnostic capability.

To ensure the high-impedance state during power up or power down,should be tied to VCCthrough a pullup resistor; the minimum value of the resistor is determined by the current-sinking capability of the driver.Read more
