Product Description
The MC74AC273N is manufactured with ON Semiconductor's high-speed CMOS technology, ensuring minimal power consumption and robust performance. The device's eight flip-flops are transparent D-latches, meaning that while the clock (CLK) input is HIGH, the Q outputs will follow the D inputs. When the CLK goes from HIGH to LOW, the data that was set up at the D inputs is locked into the flip-flops and the outputs remain stable. The flip-flops are cleared with a LOW on the asynchronous clear (CLR) input. The clear function allows for immediate initialization of the system or synchronization to an external event.
Quality and Reliability
ON Semiconductor is known for its commitment to quality, and the MC74AC273N is no exception. It is designed to meet or exceed the requirements of the joint JEDEC/IPC standard for product longevity and reliability, making it a trustworthy choice for critical digital functions.
