DM74LS73AN Dual JK Flip-Flop with Clear by ON Semiconductor
The DM74LS73AN is a high-speed dual JK flip-flop integrated circuit designed and manufactured by ON Semiconductor. This device features two individual JK type flip-flops with direct clear inputs, providing users with a versatile and reliable component for a wide range of digital applications. The DM74LS73AN is part of the 74LS logic family, which is well-known for its low power consumption and high performance.
Each flip-flop in the DM74LS73AN has provisions for individual J, K, clock pulse, and clear inputs. The flip-flops change state on the falling edge of the clock pulse, and when the clear input is brought low, the corresponding Q output of the flip-flop is brought low, regardless of the other inputs. This clear feature makes it easy to reset the flip-flop to a known state, which is essential for many digital circuits.
The DM74LS73AN is designed with a standard 14-pin dual-in-line package (DIP), making it easy to integrate into a variety of circuit boards. The pin configuration is carefully designed to simplify board layout and minimize the possibility of errors during the assembly process. The device operates over a wide power supply range from 4.75V to 5.25V, which is typical for 74LS series logic devices, and it is characterized for operation from 0°C to +70°C.
ON Semiconductor's commitment to quality and reliability is evident in the DM74LS73AN, making it a preferred choice for designers in need of dependable flip-flops for their digital systems. Whether used in counters, registers, control circuits, or other sequential logic applications, the DM74LS73AN provides stable and predictable performance.
Overall, the DM74LS73AN from ON Semiconductor is a practical and effective solution for implementing flip-flop logic in digital circuits. Its dual JK flip-flop configuration with clear inputs, compatibility with other 74LS series logic devices, and reliable operation make it an excellent choice for designers looking to create efficient and robust digital systems.
