CD74HCT74M Dual D-Type Positive Edge-Triggered Flip-Flop

The CD74HCT74M is a high-speed CMOS Dual D-Type Positive Edge-Triggered Flip-Flop integrated circuit, manufactured by Texas Instruments. This device is designed to operate at a voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V, making it suitable for interfacing with 5V logic systems. The CD74HCT74M is part of the 74HCT family, which is known for its high noise immunity and low power consumption.

Each flip-flop has independent data, set, reset, and clock inputs and Q and Q-bar outputs. This allows for flexible configurations in various applications such as data storage, data transfer, frequency division, and shift registers. The set and reset inputs are asynchronous, which means they will override the clock and data inputs, allowing for immediate control of the output state.

The CD74HCT74M features a standard 14-pin SOIC package, which is widely used in the industry and is suitable for surface mount technology (SMT). The device is characterized for operation from -55°C to 125°C, ensuring reliable performance over a wide range of environmental conditions. This makes the CD74HCT74M an excellent choice for use in industrial and automotive applications where temperature extremes are common.

One of the key advantages of the CD74HCT74M is its compatibility with TTL (Transistor-Transistor Logic) levels, allowing it to be used in mixed-technology systems. Additionally, the device's balanced propagation delays and transition times provide consistent high-speed operation.

With its robust design and versatile functionality, the CD74HCT74M is ideal for implementing flip-flop logic in digital circuits. Whether used in data processing systems, instrumentation, consumer electronics, or control systems, this reliable component from Texas Instruments is engineered to meet the demands of a wide array of applications.
