The MC74VHCT574ADT is an integrated circuit (IC) component that belongs to the VHCT series of MOS integrated circuits. It is an octal flip-flop with 3-state outputs, meaning it has eight flip-flops packaged into a single chip. Here is an overview of its key features:
1. Logic Function: The MC74VHCT574ADT is a D-type flip-flop with a clock enable input. It performs the basic function of storing and transferring data. The D input is synchronous to the clock and is transferred to the flip-flop's outputs when a clock transition occurs.
2. 3-State Outputs: This IC has 3-state outputs, which means that apart from the regular high and low logic levels, it also provides a high-impedance state. This feature allows multiple devices to share a common bus without interfering with each other, maximizing its utility in multi-device communication systems.
3. Compatibility: The MC74VHCT574ADT is designed to be compatible with CMOS and TTL logic families. It is capable of interfacing with devices operating at different voltage levels, making it versatile and suitable for a wide range of applications.
4. High-Speed Operation: This IC component operates at high speeds, allowing for efficient data transfer and processing. It has a typical propagation delay of 9 nanoseconds, making it useful in applications where timing is critical
