The 74259 8-bit addressable latch / 3 to 8 line decoder permits individual output bits to be modified. Use of a Single 74259. Refer to Figure 1 which illustrates an interface of the printer port's Data Port with a single 74259. Such an arrangement might be used to control individual lamps, motors and other devices. The design of driver circuits to interface TTL with such devices is discussed in Vol 1. Note that the bit to be modified is selected using the latch select inputs A, B and C. The data state to be written to that bit position is identified on the Data In lead. The data is propagated to the output of the latch when the /G terminal is brought low and it is latched when the /G terminal goes from a "zero" to "one" state. Thus, the sequence is to first "set up" the bit address (A, B and C) and the Data In with the /G input high. Once this has stabilized, the /G is momentarily brought low and then high. A typical C routine is illustrated in program ADR_LTC1.C. Sample calls are illustrated in lines 15-23. Note the call to the output_bit function is of the form; output_bit(bit_pos, bit_state); Thus; output_bit(7, 0); sets bit position 7 to a logic 0. Provision at line 39 is made for clearing the entire latch as might be done at boot-up by bringing bit 6 of the Data Port low. Note that in setting bits, this clear lead must be high (line 32). /* ** Program ADR_LTC1.C ** ** Illustrates how to control individual bits with 74X259 8-bit ** addressable latch. **

Control of up to 16 Stepping Motors. See Figure #4. A 74138 one-of-eight decoder has been added so as to provide the addressing capability of up to eight latches. The identification of the bit position and the data bit as well as the clear function are controlled by Data Port outputs, 2, 3 and 4, 7 and 6 as above. These are tied to all eight latches. The specific latch is addressed using the 74138 decoder. A momentary low on the /STROBE causes the outpu

t of the 138 determined by the sate of Data port outputs 3, 4 and 5 to go similarly go momentarily low, thus latching the data into the selected latch. Note that functions "turn_motor", "output_step_patt" and "output_bit" have been modified to permit the latch (0-7) to be identified. Note that the latch address is handled in line 113 by shifting the latch ID into the bit 5, 4 and 3 positions. Individual bits may also be assigned to positions not assigned to stepping motors. For example, if the lower four bits on latch 4 are not assigned to a stepper, the "output_bit" function may be called directly; output_bit(4, 3, 1); which sets bit 3 on latch 4 to a logic one. /* ** ** ** ** ** ** ** */

Program ADR_LTC4.C Illustrates how to control eight groups of two stepping motors. Each of eight latches is identified 0 - 7. On each 259 latch, motor 0 is associated with the lower four bits, motor 1 with the higher four. P. H.
