The 74ACT574PC is a popular integrated circuit (IC) component widely used in digital electronics for data storage and manipulation. It belongs to the ACT series of ICs developed by Texas Instruments, renowned for their high-speed and low-power consumption characteristics. The 74ACT574PC is specifically designed as an octal D-type flip-flop with tri-state outputs, incorporating valuable features for efficient digital data transmission and storage applications.
One of the main features of the 74ACT574PC is its ability to store data in eight individual D-type flip-flops. These flip-flops have a common clock input, which allows synchronization and precise control over the storage process. Moreover, the IC offers significant flexibility with its octal configuration, making it suitable for various implementation requirements.
Another noteworthy feature of the 74ACT574PC is its tri-state output capability. This means that each of its flip-flops can toggle between an active output, high impedance, and an inactive state. This feature is particularly valuable when interfacing with multiple devices, as it enables efficient data sharing on a common bus.
The IC operates on a wide voltage range, typically between 2 and 6 volts, which makes it compatible with both TTL (transistor-transistor logic) and CMOS (complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor) circuitry. This versatility is advantageous as it allows the 74ACT574PC to be used across different digital systems and integrated with various logic families
