The MM74HC175M is an integrated circuit (IC) component that belongs to the 74HC family. It is a quad D-type flip-flop with clear, manufactured by Fairchild Semiconductor. This IC is designed to operate with high-speed and low-power logic supply voltage, making it suitable for various applications requiring flip-flop functionality.
Some key features of the MM74HC175M are:
1. Flip-Flop Functionality: The IC contains four independent D-type flip-flops, allowing it to store and transfer data. Each flip-flop has a data input, a clock input, a clear input, and complementary outputs (Q and Q').
2. High-Speed Operation: The MM74HC175M operates at a high speed, making it suitable for applications that require quick data storage and retrieval. The flip-flops have a typical propagation delay of only 13 nanoseconds.
3. Buffered Inputs: The IC incorporates buffered inputs, which means that it eliminates the need for external input circuitry. The buffer allows direct connection to logic-level inputs, simplifying the overall system design.
4. Schottky Diode Clamping: The inputs of the MM74HC175M are clamped with Schottky diodes, providing protection against electrostatic discharge (ESD) or other voltage spikes that may damage or disrupt the operation of the IC
