The CD74HCT273E is an IC component that belongs to the CD74HCT series of integrated circuits. It is a high-speed, octal, D-type flip-flop with reset, produced by Texas Instruments. This versatile chip can be used in a wide range of applications such as counters, registers, and general-purpose flip-flop memory elements.
Key Features:
1. Octal D-Type Flip-Flop: The CD74HCT273E consists of eight individual D-type flip-flops, providing a simple and efficient solution for handling multiple bits of data simultaneously.
2. High-Speed Operation: The HCT family of ICs is known for its fast switching speeds and low propagation delay, making the CD74HCT273E ideal for high-frequency applications.
3. Synchronous Design: This chip employs synchronous logic design, meaning that the outputs change state simultaneously with the clock signal, ensuring accurate and reliable operation.
4. Schmitt Trigger Inputs: The CD74HCT273E features Schmitt trigger inputs that provide improved noise immunity and can tolerate higher voltage variations, resulting in better performance in noisy environments.
5. Reset Functionality: The chip offers a dedicated reset input (clear input) that allows all the flip-flops to be asynchronously reset to a known state, providing a convenient way to control the system initialization.
6. Buffered I/O: Each flip-flop has a buffered output, which can drive both CMOS and TTL loads
