SCLS791A March 2020 – June 2020 SN74HCS20
PRODUCTION DATA.
In this application, two 4-input NAND gates are used to create an active-low SR latch as shown in Figure 9.
The SN74HCS20 is used to drive the tamper indicator LED and provide one bit of data to the system controller. When the tamper switch outputs LOW, the output Q becomes HIGH. This output remains HIGH until the system controller addresses the event and sends a LOW signal to the R input which returns the Q output back to LOW.
