The IC component SN74F574N, manufactured by Texas Instruments, is a octal D-type flip-flop with 3-state outputs. It is a commonly used integrated circuit in digital electronics applications. This component features several key attributes that make it popular among engineers and hobbyists alike.
One of the standout features of the SN74F574N is its ability to hold eight separate D-type flip-flops within a single chip. Each flip-flop is triggered by a common clock signal, allowing simultaneous control of all eight flip-flops. This synchronous nature of operation contributes to the stability and reliability of the component.
Furthermore, the SN74F574N offers a three-state output feature. This means that each of the eight flip-flops can independently enable or disable the output, providing flexibility in routing signals within a circuit. The three-state functionality is particularly useful when multiple integrated circuits are connected together, allowing for more efficient data transfer.
The input voltage range of the SN74F574N is between -0.5V and 7V, making it compatible with various digital circuit designs
