I am working on an application that needs to disable outputs when a Hi-z state is entered. I chose this part because we care about having a minimum propagation delay for timing purposes, but this part has bus-hold circuitry. From my understanding, and this previous thread, The value of the output is held when changing from enabled to Hi-Z. If this is controlling gates, then the gate would be held on, which is not what we want to occur.
The datasheet says it recommends not to use pull-up/down resistors, however, we are not using this part to control a bus. It is being used in a uni-directional fashion that may need to be disabled (all outputs Low) in a specific circumstance. Would it be acceptable in this use-case to use pull-downs on the output side? and If not, are there any similar products that are in production for 3.3V logic with similar propagation delay and no bus-hold circuitry?
