CD4043 IC Quad NOR R/S Latch with 3-State Outputs
The CD4043 IC is a CMOS quad cross-coupled NOR R/S latch with 3-state outputs. It contains four independently controlled latches, each providing separate SET and RESET inputs along with a dedicated Q output. A common ENABLE input allows simultaneous control of all latch outputs, supporting direct bus interface without the need for additional components.
Features:
- Wide supply voltage range: 3V to 15V
- Low power: 100 nW (typ.)
- High noise immunity: 0.45 VDD (typ.)
- Separate SET and RESET inputs for each latch
- NOR and NAND configuration
- 3-STATE output with common output enable
