SN74173N

The SN74173N is an integrated circuit (IC) component that belongs to the family of quad D-type flip flops with clear that are implemented in a single package. The IC package consists of four independent positive-edge-triggered D flip flops, each capable of storing a single bit of data. It operates on a wide supply voltage range from 4.75V to 5.25V and is equipped with asynchronous clear inputs to reset the flip flops to a known state. Key Features: 1. Quad D-Type Flip Flops: The SN74173N includes four individual D-type flip flops, allowing it to store and manipulate four separate bits of data simultaneously. 2. Positive-Edge Triggered: The flip flops within the IC are triggered on the positive edge of the clock signal. This means that the output of the flip flops will change their state based on the input data only when the clock signal transitions from low to high. 3. Asynchronous Clear Inputs: The IC provides asynchronous clear inputs for each flip flop. When the clear input is asserted, the output of the corresponding flip flop is forced to a low state regardless of the input data and clock signal. This feature facilitates resetting the flip flops to a known state. 4. High-Speed Operation: The SN74173N is designed for high-speed operation, making it suitable for applications where quick data storage and manipulation are required
