ON Semiconductor MC74AC174DR2 Hex D Flip-Flop

The MC74AC174DR2 from ON Semiconductor is a high-performance, integrated circuit designed to offer exceptional utility in a variety of digital applications. This hex D flip-flop features six individual flip-flops with a single D-type input each. It is a versatile component that is essential in timing circuits, counters, and as a buffer or storage for binary data.

Constructed with advanced CMOS technology, the MC74AC174DR2 ensures low power consumption while maintaining high-speed operation. This makes it suitable for battery-operated devices and portable applications where power efficiency is a critical concern. Its operating voltage ranges from 2V to 6V, providing flexibility in different system voltages and ensuring compatibility with TTL levels.

Each flip-flop has its own direct clear input, which allows for the synchronous resetting of the flip-flop to the low state. The clock inputs of all flip-flops are driven by a common clock, which simplifies the design of synchronous systems. When the clock input is at a high level, the D input signal is transferred to the Q output during the rising edge of the clock pulse, ensuring precise data transfer and synchronization.

The MC74AC174DR2 comes in a compact SOIC-16 package, making it easy to integrate into a wide range of electronic systems without taking up significant board space. This package type is also conducive to automated assembly processes, contributing to a reduction in manufacturing time and costs.
