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 data storage and synchronization across multiple channels. With its robust features and reliable performance, this component is ideal for various digital applications.

Part Description

The SN74AHCT273/SN74AHCT273-Q1 consists of eight positive-edge-triggered D-type flip-flops, each equipped with a dedicated data input (D) and output (Q). The device includes a direct Clear (CLR) input that allows for asynchronous resetting of all outputs to low when asserted. The flip-flops change state on the rising edge of the clock signal (CLK), provided that the clear input remains inactive. This component operates within a voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V and is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive applications, making it suitable for a wide range of environments.
