The 74HCT173D,652 is a popular integrated circuit (IC) component designed and manufactured by Nexperia. It belongs to the 74HCT series, which is known for its high-speed operation, low-power consumption, and compatibility with CMOS and TTL logic families.
The 74HCT173D,652 is a 4-bit D-type flip-flop with a common clock (CLK) input. It is built using advanced silicon gate CMOS technology, making it ideal for applications that require high-speed performance combined with low power dissipation.
Key Features:
1. Clocking: The IC features a common clock input (CLK) that synchronizes the state changes of all four flip-flops simultaneously. This simplifies the design and ensures that all flip-flops are updated at the same time.
2. Data Inputs: The IC has four data inputs, labeled D0 to D3, corresponding to each D-type flip-flop. These inputs allow users to set the initial state of each flip-flop based on their application requirements.
3. Output: The IC provides four individual flip-flop outputs labeled Q0 to Q3. These outputs reflect the current state of their respective flip-flops.
4. Asynchronous Reset: The IC includes an asynchronous reset input labeled MR (Master Reset), which allows users to reset all four flip-flops to a predefined state regardless of the clock input. This feature is crucial in error recovery or initialization scenarios
