Applications

The SN74HCT273 is ideal for a range of applications where storage of 8-bit data is required. It is commonly used in:

• Registers
• Counters
• Memory devices
• Control systems

Product Description

Each flip-flop has independent D, CLK (clock), and CLR (clear) inputs, and Q outputs. The clear input is active low and can be used to reset the flip-flops to a zero state. When the clock input is on a rising edge, the state of each D input is transferred to the corresponding flip-flop's output. This device features a wide operating voltage range and is fabricated with silicon gate CMOS technology to achieve high speed and low power consumption.
