The SN74HC273DW is an integrated circuit (IC) component that belongs to the SN74HC series of logic gates. It is a high-performance octal D-type flip-flop with reset, manufactured by Texas Instruments. The IC is designed to store and output data based on clock signal transitions. It offers numerous features and capabilities that make it suitable for various digital electronics applications.
Here are some key features of the SN74HC273DW:
1. Octal D-Type Flip-Flop: The IC consists of eight individual D-type flip-flops, each with a separate data (D), clock (CLK), and reset (CLR) input. The flip-flops can store and hold digital information at their outputs.
2. Clock-Controlled Operation: The IC operates using a positive-edge-triggered clock input. On the rising edge of the clock signal, the input data is transferred to the outputs, preserving it until the next clock transition.
3. Asynchronous Reset: The IC provides an active-low asynchronous clear (CLR) input that enables resetting all the flip-flops to a known state. When the reset input is asserted, all the outputs are set to logic low regardless of the clock input.
4. 3-State Outputs: The outputs of the flip-flops are 3-state outputs, meaning they can be in one of three possible states: high logic level, low logic level, or high impedance
