A useful application for the SN74AUP1G80 is using it as a frequency divider. By feeding back the output (Q) to the input (D), the output toggles on every rising edge of the clock waveform. The output goes HIGH once every two clock cycles, so essentially the frequency of the clock signal is divided by a factor of two. The device does not have preset or clear functions so the initial state of the output is unknown. This application implements the use of an override pin to initially set the input HIGH or LOW. Initialization is not needed, but should be kept in mind. Post initialization, the Override input is set to a high-impedance mode, or it can be used to force a HIGH or LOW output.
For this application, a resistor must be placed on the feedback line in order for the initialization voltage from the override input to overpower the signal coming from the output (Q). Without a resistor the state at the input would be unknown as the output of the SN74AUP1G80 is driving the line separate from the Override input.
The SN74AUP1G80 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.
