A useful application for the SN74LVC1G79-Q1 is using it as a data latch with low-voltage data retention. This application implements the use of a microcontroller GPIO pin to act as a clock to set the output state and a second GPIO to provide the input data. If the SN74LVC1G79-Q1 is being powered from 1.8V and there is concern that a power glitch could exist as low as 1.5V, the device will retain the state of the Q output. An example of this data retention is shown in Figure 8 where the VCC drops to 1.5V and the Q output maintains the HIGH output state when VCC returns to 1.8V. If the VCC voltage drops below 1.5V, data retention is not guaranteed.
The SN74LVC1G79-Q1 device uses CMOS technology and has balanced output drive. Take care to avoid bus contention because it can drive currents that would exceed maximum limits.
