The SN74HC74PW is a dual positive-edge triggered D-type flip-flop integrated circuit (IC) component. It is a member of the 74HC series, which is a widely used collection of semiconductor devices. This IC is manufactured by Texas Instruments, a renowned semiconductor company.
Key Features:
1. Dual D-Type Flip-Flops: The SN74HC74PW consists of two independent D-type flip-flops, which are capable of storing a single bit of data each. These flip-flops can be triggered by the rising edge of the clock signal.
2. High-Speed Operation: With a maximum propagation delay time of 14 ns, this IC offers high-speed operation, making it suitable for applications that demand quick response times.
3. Wide Operating Voltage Range: The SN74HC74PW can operate within a wide range of supply voltages, from 2 V to 6 V DC. This versatility allows it to be compatible with various digital logic systems.
4. Complementary Outputs: Each flip-flop within this IC provides complementary outputs, Q and Q?, which are useful in applications involving logical operations or synchronous circuitry.
5. Direct Clear and Set Inputs: This IC includes clear (CLR) and preset (PR) inputs that allow for direct initialization of the flip-flop states. The clear input can be utilized to force both Q and Q? outputs to a logic low level, while the preset input sets both outputs to a logic high level
