ON Semiconductor MC74ACT174N Hex D Flip-Flop

The ON Semiconductor MC74ACT174N is a high-performance, hex D flip-flop integrated circuit that offers a robust solution for digital data storage and signal processing applications. This component is designed to be utilized in systems where high-speed, low-power operation is essential. With its advanced CMOS technology, it provides users with a reliable and efficient performance that is suitable for a wide range of electronic devices and systems.

The MC74ACT174N features six flip-flops with individual D inputs and Q outputs. Each flip-flop is triggered by a common clock (CP) and can be reset by a common reset input (MR). The clock input is sensitive to the rising edge, which means that the state of the D input is captured at the moment the clock transitions from low to high. The master reset input is active low, enabling the user to reset all flip-flops simultaneously and set the Q outputs to a low state.

This device operates over a broad voltage range from 4.5V to 5.5V, which makes it compatible with TTL levels while offering the speed and power consumption benefits of CMOS technology. The MC74ACT174N also features a high noise immunity characteristic of CMOS devices, ensuring stable operation even in electrically noisy environments.

Constructed in a 16-pin DIP (Dual In-line Package), the MC74ACT174N is easy to integrate into a variety of circuit boards and is well-suited for applications such as data storage, shift registers, pattern generators, and various logic implementation tasks. Its fast propagation delay and setup times are advantageous in high-speed designs, while its low power consumption makes it an ideal choice for battery-operated and power-sensitive applications.

ON Semiconductor's commitment to quality ensures that the MC74ACT174N meets stringent standards for performance and reliability. Whether used in industrial control systems, consumer electronics, or computer peripherals, the MC74ACT174N provides the functionality and durability required for complex digital processing tasks.

Overall, the MC74ACT174N from ON Semiconductor is a versatile and reliable component that offers designers a combination of speed, power efficiency, and noise immunity, making it an excellent choice for modern digital circuits.
