ON Semiconductor MC74ACT273N Octal D Flip-Flop
The MC74ACT273N is a high-performance, octal D-type flip-flop integrated circuit manufactured by ON Semiconductor, a leader in energy-efficient innovations. This device features eight edge-triggered, D-type flip-flops with a common clock (CLK) and clear (CLR) inputs, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of applications that require the storage of multiple bits of data.
Constructed with advanced CMOS technology, the MC74ACT273N offers a robust combination of high speed and low power consumption. It operates over a wide voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V, providing compatibility with standard TTL logic levels while delivering the benefits of CMOS, such as reduced power usage and improved noise immunity.
The flip-flops in the MC74ACT273N capture the state of their individual D inputs on the rising edge of the clock signal, ensuring precise timing and synchronization across all eight channels. The clear input allows for the synchronous reset of all flip-flops, which is essential for initializing systems or resetting processes during operation.
The device is packaged in a 20-pin plastic DIP (Dual In-line Package), denoted by the 'N' suffix in its part number. This package is well-suited for through-hole mounting, making it easy to integrate into a variety of circuit boards and electronic projects.
