STMicroelectronics 74ACT273MTR Octal D-Type Flip-Flop

The 74ACT273MTR is a high-speed CMOS octal D-type flip-flop integrated circuit manufactured by STMicroelectronics. This device is designed to offer both high-speed performance and the low power consumption of CMOS technology, making it ideal for a wide range of applications in modern digital systems. The 74ACT273MTR is especially well-suited for use in temporary storage, buffer registers, and shift registers, providing reliable and efficient operation in your electronic designs.

Featuring eight edge-triggered D-type flip-flops with individual D inputs and Q outputs, the 74ACT273MTR is capable of storing eight bits of data. Each flip-flop is positive-edge triggered, allowing for synchronous operations. The integrated circuit also includes a master reset (MR) input that, when taken high, will simultaneously clear all flip-flops. This feature is particularly useful for initializing registers and ensuring that systems start in a known state upon power-up or after a reset.

The 74ACT273MTR offers a wide operating voltage range from 4.5V to 5.5V, which is compatible with TTL levels, and features guaranteed output drive capability over the full voltage range. This makes it easy to interface with other TTL logic devices within your system. Additionally, the device boasts a high noise immunity characteristic of CMOS technology, ensuring stable performance even in electrically noisy environments.

STMicroelectronics has packaged the 74ACT273MTR in a compact, surface-mount TSSOP20 package, which is optimized for reduced space and weight in your PCB layout. This package is also well-suited for automated assembly processes, streamlining the manufacturing of your electronic products.

With its fast propagation delay and clock-to-Q times, the 74ACT273MTR is a reliable choice for high-speed data handling and storage applications. Whether you are designing consumer electronics, communication devices, or computing hardware, this octal D-type flip-flop from STMicroelectronics is a versatile and efficient solution for your digital logic needs.
