Product Overview: NXP PC74LVC273D Octal D-Type Flip-Flop

The NXP PC74LVC273D is a high-performance, octal D-type flip-flop integrated circuit designed for use in a wide range of digital applications. This device is part of the LVC family, which stands for Low-Voltage CMOS, indicating that it operates at a lower voltage with reduced power consumption while still delivering high-speed performance.

The PC74LVC273D features eight edge-triggered, D-type flip-flops with individual D inputs and Q outputs. The common clock (CP) and master reset (MR) inputs control all flip-flops. This component is particularly suitable for implementing buffer registers, shift registers, and state machines, given its ability to store eight bits of data in a single IC package.

Key specifications of the PC74LVC273D include:

• Supply voltage ranging from 2.7V to 3.6V, making it compatible with 3.3V systems and tolerant to 5V systems.
• High-speed performance with a propagation delay typically less than 5.2 ns at 3.3V.
• Low power consumption with a typical I_CC of only 40 µA, which is ideal for battery-operated and power-sensitive applications.
• 5V tolerant inputs for interfacing with higher voltage logic levels without the need for external level shifters.
• Bus-hold data inputs, which eliminate the need for external pull-up or pull-down resistors, simplifying board design and reducing component count.
• Compliant with JEDEC standard no. 7A, ensuring compatibility with other standard logic devices.
• Available in a standard SO20 package, which is suitable for surface-mount technology (SMT) and compatible with various PCB designs.

The NXP PC74LVC273D is designed for robust performance in a variety of digital environments. Its ability to interface directly with microprocessors, its compatibility with industry standards, and its ease of integration make it a versatile choice for designers looking to add reliable data storage functionality to their systems.

Whether you're developing consumer electronics, communication devices, or complex computing systems, the NXP PC74LVC273D provides a dependable and efficient solution for your digital storage needs.
