The MC74AC573MEL is a high-performance octal D-type flip-flop with 3-state outputs. It belongs to the MC74AC family, which offers advanced CMOS technology to achieve high-speed operation with low power consumption. This integrated circuit (IC) component is widely used in various digital logic applications.
Key Features of the MC74AC573MEL:
1. Octal Flip-Flop: It consists of eight individual D-type flip-flops arranged in a single package. Each flip-flop has a separate input (D), clock input (CP), and output (Q).
2. 3-State Outputs: The output of each flip-flop can be enabled or disabled using the Output Enable (OE) pin. When OE is high, the outputs are in high-impedance state (disconnected), allowing multiple devices to share the same bus without interference.
3. High-Speed Operation: The MC74AC573MEL is designed for high-performance applications, offering a maximum propagation delay of 3.5 nanoseconds. This allows for fast data transfer and reliable operation in time-sensitive applications.
4. Low Power Consumption: Utilizing advanced CMOS technology, this IC component operates at a low power supply voltage (2 to 6 V) while minimizing power dissipation. This makes it suitable for battery-powered devices and helps extend battery life
