The 74LS273PC is an integrated circuit (IC) component that belongs to the 74LS family of logic devices. It is a octal D-type flip-flop with clear, designed for use in various digital systems. Here are the key features and an overview of this IC component:
1. Octal D-Type Flip-Flop: The 74LS273PC consists of eight individual D-type flip-flops, each capable of storing a single bit of data. These flip-flops are edge-triggered and feature a common clock input (CLK) for synchronous operation.
2. Data Input (D): The IC has eight individual data input pins (D0 to D7), which allow you to input the desired binary value to be stored in each flip-flop. These inputs are compatible with standard TTL (Transistor-Transistor Logic) voltage levels.
3. Clear Input (CLR): The 74LS273PC has an active LOW clear input pin (CLR), which allows you to reset the flip-flops to a known initial state. When CLR is asserted (pulled LOW), all flip-flops are cleared, setting their output to logic LOW.
4. Synchronous Operation: The IC relies on an external clock signal (CLK) for synchronous operation. When the clock input is triggered by a rising edge, the input data is transferred to the corresponding flip-flop outputs (Q0 to Q7) on the following clock pulse
