The MM74HC374MTC is an integrated circuit (IC) component that belongs to the 74HC family of high-speed CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) logic devices. It is a D-type flip-flop with 3-state outputs, specifically designed for effective data storage or transfer applications. The IC operates on a wide power supply voltage range from 2V to 6V, allowing it to be used in a variety of electronic systems.
Key features of the MM74HC374MTC include:
1. Flip-Flop Functionality: The IC consists of eight individual D-type flip-flops with 3-state outputs. Each flip-flop has a Data (D) input and a Clock (CLK) input to capture or transfer data based on the clock signal's rising edge.
2. Output Control: The MM74HC374MTC offers independent output enable control for each flip-flop. When the output enable (OE) pin is set low, the 3-state outputs become active and reflect the logic level stored in the flip-flop. Conversely, setting OE high disables the outputs, making them high-impedance or "floating."
3. Schmitt-Trigger Inputs: The IC incorporates Schmitt-trigger inputs for better noise immunity and hysteresis, ensuring reliable operation even in environments with significant signal distortion or variation
