The MC74AC374DW is an integrated circuit (IC) component that belongs to the MC74AC series. It is a D-type flip-flop with eight positive-edge-triggered, registered flip-flops. This component is widely used in various digital applications and provides several key features that enhance its functionality.
One of the essential features of the MC74AC374DW is its ability to store and release data based on clock signals. It utilizes positive-edge triggering, meaning the data is captured and stored only when a rising edge is detected. This allows synchronization with other components and ensures the accuracy of data transmission.
The IC component has a flip-flop architecture, offering eight flip-flops in total. These flip-flops have separate Data (D) and Clock (CLK) inputs, enabling independent data input to each flip-flop. Additionally, it consists of an Output Enable (OE) pin which, when enabled, allows the output data from the flip-flops to be transferred to the output pins.
Another notable feature of the MC74AC374DW is its compatibility with TTL (Transistor-Transistor Logic) input voltage levels. This means it can be interfaced with both TTL and CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) logic families, making it versatile for a range of applications.
The IC has eight output pins labeled as Q0 to Q7, which provide the stored data from each flip-flop
