The MC54HC174AJ is an integrated circuit (IC) component that belongs to the MC54HC series of logic devices manufactured by Motorola. It is a hex D-type flip-flop with clear, ideal for applications requiring edge-triggered or master-controlled storage. This IC offers several key features that make it a versatile component in digital logic circuits.
1. Hex D-Type Flip-Flop: The MC54HC174AJ consists of six independent D-type flip-flops, each capable of storing a single bit of digital data. These flip-flops are edge-triggered, which means their outputs change only when there is a transition at the clock input.
2. High-Speed Operation: The "HC" in the part number represents high-speed CMOS (complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor) technology, which enables fast switching times and efficient operation. It allows this IC to function at higher clock frequencies compared to standard CMOS logic.
3. Clear Function: This IC includes a clear input pin, which allows the user to reset the flip-flops asynchronously. When the clear input is set to a low logic level, all the flip-flop outputs are forced to a low logic level. This feature provides a way to initialize or reset the stored data.
4. Logic Compatibility: The MC54HC174AJ is designed to be compatible with a wide range of different logic families, including transistor-transistor logic (TTL) and 5V CMOS
