The SN74AHC273DB is a popular integrated circuit (IC) component primarily used for building digital logic circuitry. It belongs to the 74AHC family of ICs and serves as an octal D-type flip-flop with clear.
Key Features:
1. Octal D-Type Flip-Flop: This IC consists of eight individual D-type flip-flops, each with a data (D) input, a clock (CLK) input, an output (Q) and a clear (CLR) input. These flip-flops are coordinated by a common clock signal, making it suitable for synchronizing multiple data bits.
2. Clear Functionality: The SN74AHC273DB features a synchronous active-Low clear input (CLR). When CLR is activated, all outputs (Q) of the flip-flops are set to logic low, regardless of the clock and data inputs. This feature allows for a controlled reset of all flip-flop outputs.
3. High-Speed Operation: The "AHC" in the IC's name denotes that it is part of the AHC (Advanced High-Speed CMOS) family. As a result, it offers high-speed operation with a maximum propagation delay of 7.8 ns, making it suitable for applications that require quick response times.
4. Wide Voltage Range: The SN74AHC273DB supports a wide voltage range, allowing it to operate with a power supply voltage (VCC) of 2 V to 5
