SN74BCT574N Octal Edge-Triggered D-Type Flip-Flops by Texas Instruments
The SN74BCT574N is a high-performance, octal edge-triggered D-type flip-flop integrated circuit designed and manufactured by Texas Instruments. This device features a robust build that ensures reliable operation in a wide range of applications. It is particularly well-suited for use in systems that require the capture and storage of data, such as computers, communication equipment, and industrial control systems.
Each flip-flop in the SN74BCT574N has a 3-state output, which provides the option to place the output in a high-impedance state. This feature is essential for bus-oriented systems, as it allows multiple outputs to be connected to a common bus without causing conflicts. The 3-state outputs also facilitate easy expansion of data buses with minimal hardware.
The device operates on the edge-triggered mechanism, capturing data on the rising edge of the clock signal. This ensures precise timing and synchronization of data within your system. The SN74BCT574N is designed to be used with a 5V power supply, making it compatible with many TTL and CMOS logic families.
The IC is encapsulated in a standard 20-pin DIP (Dual In-line Package), which is widely used and easily integrated into a variety of board layouts. The DIP package also allows for easy insertion and removal, which is useful for prototyping and educational purposes.
Key features of the SN74BCT574N include:
- 8 D-type flip-flops with single-rail outputs
- Full parallel access for loading
- Edge-triggered from active-high or active-low Gated Clock inputs
- Buffered control inputs
- 3-state outputs for bus-oriented applications
- High-current 3-state outputs can drive up to 15 LSTTL loads
- Typical t<sub>pd of 7.5 ns
- Low power consumption
- Operational temperature range: 0°C to 70°C
With its combination of high-speed operation, 3-state outputs, and the reliability of Texas Instruments' manufacturing, the SN74BCT574N is an excellent choice for designers looking to implement efficient and effective data handling in their digital systems.
