STMicroelectronics M74HCT174MTR Hex D-Type Flip-Flop

The M74HCT174MTR is a high-speed CMOS Hex D-type flip-flop integrated circuit, expertly crafted by the renowned semiconductor manufacturer STMicroelectronics. This device is designed to interface directly with TTL (Transistor-Transistor Logic) levels and is fabricated with silicon gate CMOS technology to achieve operating speeds similar to LSTTL with the low power consumption of standard CMOS integrated circuits.

This particular model, the M74HCT174MTR, comes in a compact surface-mount package, specifically the TSSOP16 (Thin Shrink Small Outline Package, 16-lead). The package is designed for space-saving on PCBs (Printed Circuit Boards) and is well-suited for high-density mounting, which is essential in modern electronic applications where real estate is at a premium.

At the heart of the M74HCT174MTR's functionality are six edge-triggered flip-flops, each with individual clear inputs. The flip-flops all share a common clock input, which synchronizes the state changes. This configuration is particularly useful in applications that require the capture and storage of multiple bits of data simultaneously, such as registers, counters, and memory devices.

One of the key features of the M74HCT174MTR is its ability to operate with a wide range of supply voltages, from 4.5V to 5.5V, making it compatible with typical 5V systems. The low power consumption and high noise immunity of 2.0V are beneficial for power-sensitive and noise-prone environments, ensuring reliable performance even under challenging conditions.

Additional specifications include a high fan-out of 10 LSTTL loads, a typical t<sub>pd (propagation delay time) of 13 ns, and a wide operating temperature range from -55°C to 125°C, which ensures stable operation across various environmental conditions.

Whether it's being used in industrial control systems, consumer electronics, or data processing equipment, the M74HCT174MTR from STMicroelectronics provides designers with a reliable and efficient solution for their digital storage needs. Its performance, coupled with the quality assurance of STMicroelectronics, makes it an excellent choice for your next electronic design project.
