ON Semiconductor MC74HCT374ANG Octal D-Type Flip-Flop

The MC74HCT374ANG from ON Semiconductor is a high-performance, octal D-type flip-flop with a clear function, designed for use in a wide array of electronic applications. This integrated circuit is part of the HCT logic family, which combines the speed of CMOS with the low power consumption of TTL, making it an ideal choice for interfacing with both CMOS and LSTTL logic levels.

The device features eight edge-triggered flip-flops with individual D-type inputs and 3-state true outputs. The collected data from the D inputs is transferred to the outputs on the positive-going edge of the clock pulse. A high on the clear input sets all the outputs to a low state, regardless of the clock input, ensuring a quick and efficient clearing of the flip-flops when required.

Constructed with silicon gate CMOS technology, the MC74HCT374ANG offers robust performance with a typical operating voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V. The 3-state outputs are designed for bus-oriented applications, providing the flexibility to share a common data bus for different components. This feature is particularly useful in systems where data needs to be read or written at different times without interference.

Encased in a 20-pin DIP (Dual In-line Package), the MC74HCT374ANG is well-suited for through-hole PCB mounting, which is advantageous for prototyping or applications where space is not a critical constraint. The device's pin configuration is industry-standard, ensuring easy integration into existing designs without the need for significant layout changes.

Applications of the MC74HCT374ANG include buffer storage, shift registers, data storage, and any other systems requiring high-speed, low-power octal D-type flip-flops. Whether you're developing consumer electronics, industrial control systems, or communication devices, the MC74HCT374ANG provides a reliable and efficient solution for your data storage and transfer needs.

ON Semiconductor's commitment to quality ensures that the MC74HCT374ANG meets stringent standards, providing designers with confidence in its performance and durability for their electronic projects.
