Product Overview: 74HC174PW

The 74HC174PW, manufactured by NXP Semiconductors, is a high-speed Si-gate CMOS device that belongs to the 74HC family. This integrated circuit is characterized by its robustness and compatibility with TTL (Transistor-Transistor Logic). It is specifically designed to offer a combination of high-performance and low-power consumption, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of digital applications.

Key Features

• Hex D-type Flip-Flop: The 74HC174PW contains six D-type flip-flops with direct clear inputs, providing synchronous state changes for six data points simultaneously.
• Positive-Edge Triggering: Each flip-flop is triggered on the low-to-high transition of the clock input, ensuring precise timing of data capture.
• Individual Clear Inputs: The presence of individual clear inputs allows for asynchronous clearing of each flip-flop, giving the user greater control over the reset state of each bit.
• Wide Operating Voltage Range: It operates across a wide voltage range from 2.0 to 6.0 V, accommodating various logic level requirements and ensuring compatibility with a range of other digital ICs.
• Low Power Dissipation: This IC is designed for low power consumption, with a typical ICC of only 2 µA (max) at 25°C, contributing to energy-efficient designs.
• High Noise Immunity: The 74HC174PW is designed with a high noise immunity level, making it suitable for use in electrically noisy environments.
• Standard TSSOP16 Package: The device is available in a TSSOP16 (Thin Shrink Small Outline Package) which is suitable for surface mounting and space-saving on PCBs.
