SN74AC564N Octal D-Type Edge-Triggered Flip-Flop

The SN74AC564N is a high-performance, octal edge-triggered D-type flip-flop integrated circuit designed and manufactured by Texas Instruments. This device is part of the 'AC' family, which is renowned for its high-speed operation, and it comes in a standard 20-pin PDIP (Plastic Dual-In-Line Package) that is well-suited for through-hole mounting techniques.

Each flip-flop within the SN74AC564N has a dedicated data input (D), output (Q), output enable (OE), and clock input (CLK). The device captures the state of the D inputs on the rising edge of the CLK signal, and this state is then available at the Q outputs, provided that the OE is deactivated (low). When OE is activated (high), the outputs are in a high-impedance state, which allows for bus-oriented applications.

Key features of the SN74AC564N include:

• Logic Type: Octal D-Type Flip-Flop with 3-state outputs
• Supply Voltage: Operating range from 2V to 6V, which provides compatibility with a variety of logic levels and ensures low power consumption.
• High-Speed Operation: Capable of handling fast clock rates, making it suitable for high-speed data storage and transfer applications.
• 3-State Outputs: Allows for connection to a bus without causing contention, as outputs can be placed in a high-impedance state.
• Edge-Triggered: Ensures reliable operation by capturing data on the rising edge of the clock signal, minimizing the risk of data corruption.
• Output Drive Capability: Capable of driving up to 24 mA at the outputs, ensuring strong signal integrity even in demanding environments.

Applications for the SN74AC564N are diverse and include data storage, communication systems, computers, and any digital system that requires reliable data capture and retention. Its robustness and compatibility with a wide range of supply voltages make it a versatile choice for designers and engineers looking to implement a reliable flip-flop logic solution in their circuits.

With Texas Instruments' reputation for quality and performance, the SN74AC564N is an excellent choice for those in need of a dependable and high-speed octal flip-flop.
