ON Semiconductor MC74ACT273NG Octal D Flip-Flop

The MC74ACT273NG is a high-performance, octal D-type flip-flop integrated circuit from ON Semiconductor, designed to provide reliable, high-speed operation in a variety of digital applications. This device features eight edge-triggered flip-flops with individual D-type inputs and Q outputs. The common clock (CP) and master reset (MR) inputs allow synchronized operation of all flip-flops.

The MC74ACT273NG is fabricated with advanced CMOS technology, which ensures minimal power consumption while maintaining high-speed operation. This makes it an ideal choice for power-sensitive applications, including portable and battery-operated devices. The device operates over a broad voltage range from 4.5V to 5.5V, providing compatibility with TTL logic levels and the ability to interface with 5V systems seamlessly.

Each flip-flop in the MC74ACT273NG has a direct clear input, which, when activated, will reset the Q output to a low state regardless of the clock input. This feature is particularly useful for quickly initializing a system or clearing data during operation. The flip-flops are positive-edge triggered, meaning they capture the state of their respective D inputs on the rising edge of the clock signal, ensuring precise timing and synchronization in digital circuits.

The MC74ACT273NG is available in a 20-pin DIP (Dual In-line Package) that is both durable and easy to handle for PCB (Printed Circuit Board) mounting. This package is widely used and recognized in the electronics industry, making the MC74ACT273NG a versatile component suitable for a variety of digital systems, including computers, communication devices, and control systems.

Key features of the MC74ACT273NG include:

• Eight edge-triggered D-type flip-flops with individual D inputs and Q outputs
• Common clock and master reset for all flip-flops
• Low power consumption with CMOS technology
• Wide operating voltage range (4.5V to 5.5V)
• Direct clearing function for all flip-flops
• Compatible with TTL logic levels
• 20-pin DIP package for easy PCB mounting

Overall, the MC74ACT273NG from ON Semiconductor is a robust and reliable choice for designers who require a high-speed, low-power octal flip-flop for their digital applications.
