PRODUCTION DATA
Refer to the PDF data sheet for device specific package drawings
In this application, two 3-input NOR gates are used to create an SR latch as shown in Figure 9-1. The additional gate can be used for another application, or the inputs can be grounded and the channel left unused.
This device is used to drive the tamper indicator LED and provide one bit of data to the system controller. When the tamper switch outputs HIGH, the output Q becomes HIGH. This output remains HIGH until the system controller addresses the event and sends a HIGH signal to the R input which returns the Q output back to LOW.
