The MM74HCT273WM is an integrated circuit (IC) component that belongs to the HCT (High-Speed CMOS TTL Compatible) series manufactured by Fairchild Semiconductor. It is an octal D-type flip-flop with reset, which means it has eight individual flip-flops in a single package. Each flip-flop can store one bit of data.
Key Features of MM74HCT273WM:
1. Octal Flip-Flop: The IC contains eight D-type flip-flops, making it suitable for applications where multiple bits of data need to be stored or synchronized.
2. High-Speed Operation: The HCT technology utilized in this IC provides high-speed operation while being compatible with both CMOS and TTL inputs.
3. TTL Input Compatibility: The IC is designed to be compatible with TTL logic levels, making it easy to integrate into existing TTL-based systems.
4. Common Clock: All the flip-flops share a common clock input, simplifying the timing requirements in synchronous applications.
5. Clear Function: The IC includes a synchronous reset (clear) input that allows all the flip-flops to be simultaneously reset to an initial state.
6. Positive Edge-Triggered: The flip-flops are triggered on the positive edge of the clock signal, ensuring proper synchronization of data.
7. Output Enable: The IC features an active-low output enable input that allows the outputs to be disabled when required, reducing power consumption
