ON Semiconductor MC74HC273AN Octal D-Type Flip-Flop

The MC74HC273AN from ON Semiconductor is an integrated circuit designed to provide high-performance and reliable octal D-type flip-flop functionality. This device is particularly suitable for applications requiring the capture and storage of eight bits of data in a synchronous manner. The MC74HC273AN is a member of the high-speed CMOS family and offers a combination of high-speed operation, low power consumption, and robust noise immunity.

Featuring eight edge-triggered D-type flip-flops with individual D inputs and Q outputs, the MC74HC273AN is capable of transferring data from the input to the output on the rising edge of the clock pulse. All flip-flops are simultaneously triggered by a low-to-high transition on the clock (CLK) input. Moreover, the device includes a common Clear (CLR) input that, when taken low, will reset all flip-flops, resulting in a low level at all Q outputs, regardless of other input conditions.

The versatility of the MC74HC273AN allows it to be used in a wide range of applications, including buffer storage, shift registers, data storage, and pattern generators, among others. Its standard pin configuration ensures easy integration into various circuit designs and compatibility with other digital logic components.

Constructed with silicon gate CMOS technology, the device ensures low power dissipation yet high noise threshold stability. The MC74HC273AN operates over a wide voltage range from 2V to 6V and is characterized for operation from -55°C to 125°C, making it suitable for use in industrial and automotive environments.

Offered in a standard 20-pin DIP (Dual In-line Package), the MC74HC273AN is both durable and easy to handle. It's also available in other package options to suit different assembly and space requirements. With its robust design and ON Semiconductor's commitment to quality, the MC74HC273AN is an excellent choice for designers looking for a reliable flip-flop solution in their digital systems.
