The TC74HC74AP is a dual D-type flip-flop with set and reset belonging to the TC74HC series of high-speed CMOS logic devices manufactured by Toshiba Semiconductor and Storage. Each flip-flop has independent data (D), clock (CLK), set (SET), and reset (RST) inputs, and complementary outputs (Q and Q\'). The set and reset inputs are active low.

Applications

• Registers: Used to store data temporarily in digital circuits.
• Shift registers: Employed in shift register applications for serial data transfer.
• Frequency dividers: Implemented in frequency divider circuits to reduce the frequency of a signal.
• Synchronous counters: Used as building blocks in synchronous counter designs.
• Data synchronization: Utilized to synchronize data between different clock domains.

Features

• High-speed operation: Offers fast propagation delay times due to the CMOS technology.
• Wide operating voltage range: Functions reliably with supply voltages from 2V to 6V.
