The 74V1G79CTR from STMicroelectronics is a high-speed CMOS single positive-edge triggered D-type flip-flop with a clear input. This device is designed to be utilized in a variety of electronic applications where a single data storage element is required. It is part of STMicroelectronics' 74V logic family, known for its low power consumption and high-speed operation.

This particular flip-flop is characterized by its ability to store a single bit of data; the data on the D-input is transferred to the Q-output on the rising edge of the clock pulse. The clear input allows the Q-output to be cleared to a low state when a high level is applied, irrespective of the clock or data inputs, providing an additional level of control to the system designer.

The 74V1G79CTR is fabricated with sub-micron silicon gate and double-layer metal wiring C2MOS technology. This not only ensures a reduced power consumption but also provides a high tolerance to noise, which is crucial for stable operation in electrically noisy environments. The device is fully specified for partial power-down applications using Ioff, which helps in preventing any damaging backflow current through the device when it is powered down.

Key features of the product include:

• High-speed operation: tPD = 4.5 ns (typ.) at VCC = 5V
• Low power dissipation: ICC = 1 µA (max.) at TA = 25°C
• Power-down protection on inputs and outputs
• Static operation: no clock or refreshing required
• Standardized symmetrical output characteristics
• Complies with JEDEC standard no. 8-1A

The device is offered in a compact SOT-23-5 package, making it suitable for space-constrained applications. Its operating voltage range of 2V to 5.5V allows for use in various logic systems and makes it compatible with TTL levels. The 74V1G79CTR is ideal for applications that require high-speed, reliable data storage and retrieval, such as registers, counters, and control circuits.

With its combination of features, the 74V1G79CTR is a versatile component that can meet the needs of a wide array of electronic designs, reinforcing STMicroelectronics' commitment to providing innovative semiconductor solutions.
