The SN74HC74N is an integrated circuit (IC) component, specifically a dual positive-edge-triggered D-type flip-flop. It belongs to the SNx4HCxx family of high-speed CMOS logic ICs, manufactured by Texas Instruments.
Key Features:
1. Dual D-type Flip-Flop: The SN74HC74N consists of two individual D-type flip-flops, which can operate independently or in tandem, as per the design requirements.
2. Positive-Edge Triggering: This IC component triggers the output transition with a positive edge of the clock input signal, ensuring precise timing and synchronization in digital circuits.
3. High-Speed Operation: As a part of the HC (High-Speed CMOS) logic family, the SN74HC74N offers fast switching speeds, enabling efficient operation in high-frequency applications with reduced propagation and setup time delays.
4. Wide Supply Voltage Range: The IC can operate with a supply voltage ranging from 2V to 6V, making it suitable for various power supply configurations.
5. Schmitt-Trigger Input: The IC features Schmitt-trigger inputs, which allow robust signal reception even in the presence of noisy signals or uncertain voltage levels, enhancing noise immunity.
6. Complementary Outputs: Each flip-flop within the IC provides both normal (Q) and complementary (Q?) outputs, allowing flexibility in signal routing and logic circuit design
