Key Features
- Logic Type: This device is a hex D-type flip-flop, which means it contains six individual D-type flip-flops within a single package. Each flip-flop has independent data (D), clock (CLK), and clear (CLR) inputs.
- Output Type: The outputs are buffered, providing high drive capabilities while maintaining fast switching speeds.
- Edge-Triggered: The flip-flops in the SN74AS4374BDWE4 are edge-triggered, responding to the rising edge of the clock input, which is essential for synchronous data processing and timing operations.
- Clear Function: The clear function is asynchronous, allowing the user to reset all flip-flops to a low state regardless of the clock input, ensuring a controlled initialization of the system.
- Package: This device comes in a wide-body SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) package with 20 pins, designated by the 'DW' in its part number, making it suitable for surface-mount technology (SMT).
- Supply Voltage: It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V, compatible with standard TTL (Transistor-Transistor Logic) levels.
