The SN54S374/BRA is an Integrated Circuit (IC) component that belongs to the SN54S family series. It is a flip-flop latch that offers various features, making it a versatile and widely used component in electronic circuits.
The SN54S374/BRA is a positive-edge-triggered octal D-type flip-flop with a tri-state output. It consists of eight flip-flops, each capable of storing a single bit of data. The input data is stored when a rising edge is detected on the clock input, and the stored data is then available on the output.
One of the key features of the SN54S374/BRA is its tri-state output. This allows the output to be disabled by a separate output enable input, thereby effectively disconnecting the output from the rest of the circuit when desired. This feature is particularly useful in bus-oriented systems where multiple components may need to drive a common bus line.
Another notable feature is the presence of asynchronous clear and preset inputs. The clear input allows the user to reset all flip-flops to a predefined state, while the preset input sets all flip-flops to the complement of the predefined state. These inputs provide flexibility in controlling the initial state of the flip-flops, depending on the application requirements.
Furthermore, the SN54S374/BRA offers high-speed operation, making it suitable for applications involving time-critical data processing. It operates with a power supply voltage range of 4
