The 74AC174SJX is a popular integrated circuit (IC) component belonging to the 74AC series, which are part of the TTL (transistor-transistor logic) logic family. It is a hex D-type flip-flop with clear. This component is widely used in digital circuitry and offers several key features that make it versatile and efficient. Here is an overview of the 74AC174SJX and its key features:
1. Hex D-Type Flip-Flop: The 74AC174SJX consists of six individual D-type flip-flops, each with a separate data input (D), clock input (CP), output (Q), and output control (OE). This makes it ideal for applications requiring multiple flip-flops, such as memory storage or sequential circuit designs.
2. Clear Function: The IC component includes a synchronous active-low clear input (CLR) that allows the user to reset the flip-flop outputs to a known state simultaneously. When CLR is activated, all outputs (Q) will be forced to logic low (0), regardless of the data input (D) or clock input (CP).
3. Schmitt-Trigger Clock Input: The 74AC174SJX features a Schmitt-trigger clock input, which ensures higher noise immunity and provides a hysteresis effect. This allows the component to tolerate voltage fluctuations or noisy signals at the clock input, resulting in improved reliability and stability
