The 74HC173N,652 is a quad D-type flip-flop integrated circuit (IC) component manufactured by Nexperia. Here's an overview of the key features of this IC:
1. Functionality: The 74HC173N,652 consists of four individual D-type positive-edge triggered flip-flops with independent data inputs (D), clock inputs (CP), preset inputs (PRE), and outputs (Q and Q?).
2. Flip-Flop Type: The IC uses a D-type flip-flop with a synchronous set functionality, where low levels at the preset inputs allow direct reset of Q outputs.
3. Triggering: The IC operates on a positive-edge-triggered clock input (CP). When the clock input transitions from LOW to HIGH, the input at D is transferred to the output Q.
4. Data Inputs: Each flip-flop within the IC has a dedicated D input pin for setting the input data.
5. Clock Enable (CE): The IC includes a clock-enable input (CE) pin, which, when LOW, blocks the clock-induced entry of new data into the flip-flops, regardless of the state of the clock input. This feature allows efficient synchronization of data.
6. Asynchronous Preset: The IC provides a preset input (PRE) pin, which, when activated with a LOW level, overrides the clock signals and sets the Q outputs to logic HIGH
