The DM74HC273WMX is a high-speed CMOS octal D-type flip-flop with a clear input. This device contains eight independent D-type flip-flops. The information on the D input is transferred to the Q output on the positive-going edge of the clock pulse. A clear input (CLR) resets all outputs to a low level independently of the clock or data inputs.

Applications

• Registers: Used as storage registers in digital systems.
• Buffers: Buffering data in high-speed applications.
• Shift Registers: Can be configured as a shift register.
• Memory Addressing: Decoding memory addresses.
• Data Latching: Holding data for later use.

Features

• Octal D-Type Flip-Flops: Contains eight independent D-type flip-flops in a single package.
• High Speed Operation: Offers fast switching speeds due to the CMOS technology.
• Clear Input: Asynchronous clear input to reset all outputs.
• Wide Operating Voltage: Operates from 2V to 6V.
• Low Power Consumption: CMOS technology for low power applications.

Benefits

• Simplified Circuit Design: Reduces component count for parallel data storage.
• Improved System Performance: High-speed operation allows for use in faster systems.
• Versatile: Usable in a wide variety of applications due to its octal nature.
• Easy to Use: Standard DIP and SOIC packages for easy breadboarding and PCB design.
• Reliable Operation: Consistent performance over a wide voltage range.

Technical Specifications

The DM74HC273WMX comes in a 20-pin SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) package. Its propagation delay is typically around 10-15 ns. The operating temperature range is typically -40°C to +85°C. Input voltage levels are CMOS compatible. The clear input is asynchronous and resets the flip-flops regardless of the clock signal.

This device is widely used in digital electronics for data storage, buffering, and latching applications where high speed and low power consumption are critical.
