Texas Instruments SN74AHCT273/SN74AHCT273-Q1 Octal D-Type Flip-Flops

Introduction

The Texas Instruments SN74AHCT273/SN74AHCT273-Q1 is a highly versatile octal D-type flip-flop designed for efficient digital data storage and synchronization. With its robust features and reliable performance, this component is ideal for various applications in modern electronic systems.

Part Description

The SN74AHCT273/SN74AHCT273-Q1 consists of eight positive-edge-triggered D-type flip-flops, each equipped with a direct Clear (CLR) input. This design allows for the storage and synchronization of digital data across eight channels, making it a crucial component in digital circuits. Each flip-flop has its dedicated data input (D) and output (Q), while all flip-flops share a common clock (CLK) and clear (CLR) signal. The outputs change state on the rising edge of the clock signal, provided the clear input is inactive. When the clear input is asserted, all outputs are asynchronously reset to low, regardless of the clock or data inputs. This device operates within a voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V and is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive applications, ensuring reliability in demanding environments.
