The MC74HC73N is a dual JK flip-flop with clear. This device consists of two independent JK flip-flops, each with individual J, K, Clock, and Clear inputs. It is commonly used for building counters, shift registers, and control logic circuits where bistable elements are needed.

Applications

• Counters
• Shift registers
• Control logic circuits
• Frequency dividers
• Storage registers
• Data synchronization

Features

• High Speed Operation: fMAX = 50 MHz (typ) at VCC = 5V
• Low Power Dissipation: ICC = 4 μA (max) at TA = 25°C
• High Noise Immunity: VNIH = VNIL = 30 % VCC
• Operating Voltage Range: 2V to 6V
• Dual JK Flip-Flop
• Individual J, K, Clock, and Clear Inputs
• Negative-Edge Triggered Clock

Benefits

• High-speed operation suitable for demanding applications.
• Low power consumption for energy-efficient designs.
• Reliable performance in noisy environments.
• Flexible control with individual J, K, Clock, and Clear inputs.
• Versatile building block for digital systems.
• Cost-effective solution for bistable element requirements.

The MC74HC73N consists of two independent JK flip-flops that change state based on the J and K inputs and the negative-going edge of the clock signal. The clear input allows for asynchronous clearing of the flip-flop. The device operates from a supply voltage of 2V to 6V and is compatible with standard TTL logic levels. It is commonly available in a through-hole DIP package.
