CD74HC273M96 Octal D-Type Flip-Flop with Clear

The CD74HC273M96 is a high-speed CMOS logic octal D-type flip-flop with a clear function, designed and manufactured by the renowned semiconductor company, Texas Instruments. This integrated circuit is part of the 74HC series, known for its high-speed operation comparable to the original 74LS logic family, but with significantly lower power consumption.

Each flip-flop in the CD74HC273M96 has independent D (data) inputs, as well as a single common CLEAR input, which, when taken low, will reset all flip-flops to a low state. The device features a positive-edge trigger, which means that the state of each D input is transferred to the corresponding flip-flop’s output (Q) on the rising edge of the clock pulse. This characteristic makes the CD74HC273M96 ideal for applications that require data storage, data transfer, or data manipulation operations synchronized with a clock signal.

The device is provided in a SOIC-20 package, with the suffix 'M96' denoting the tape and reel packaging option, which is optimized for automated surface-mount assembly processes. The CD74HC273M96 operates over a broad voltage range from 2V to 6V and offers a balanced propagation delay and transition times, which makes it suitable for use in a wide variety of digital applications, including:

• Buffer storage
• Shift registers
• Data storage
• Pattern generators

Furthermore, the CD74HC273M96 is characterized for operation from -55°C to 125°C, ensuring reliable performance in extreme temperature environments. Its robustness and versatility make it a preferred choice for both commercial and industrial applications.

For design engineers and electronics enthusiasts alike, the CD74HC273M96 from Texas Instruments represents a dependable and efficient solution for implementing flip-flop logic in digital circuits. Its ease of use, combined with Texas Instruments’ reputation for quality and support, ensures that this component remains a staple in digital logic design.
