MC74HC174AN

The MC74HC174AN is an integrated circuit (IC) component that falls under the category of flip-flops. It is part of the 74HC series, which comprises high-speed CMOS logic chips. This particular IC is a Hex D-type flip-flop with reset, belonging to the MC74HC family. Here's an overview of the MC74HC174AN and its key features: 1. Hex D-Type Flip-Flop: The MC74HC174AN consists of six individual D-type flip-flops, which means it can store six independent bits of data. Each flip-flop's data input (D), clock input (CP), and reset input (MR) are accessible externally. 2. 3-State Outputs: The outputs of the flip-flops are 3-state, allowing for flexibility in connecting multiple outputs together. This feature enables the IC to be used in bus-oriented systems where multiple devices can be connected to a common data line. 3. High-Speed Operation: The 74HC series is known for its high-speed operation, making the MC74HC174AN suitable for applications that require fast data storage, retrieval, and processing. 4. Schmitt-Trigger Inputs: The IC incorporates Schmitt-trigger inputs on the clock (CP) and reset (MR) pins. This characteristic helps in achieving accurate and noise-immune operation, ensuring reliable data transfers
