The M74HC273B1R is an integrated circuit (IC) component that belongs to the M74HC family of high-speed CMOS logic devices. It is a octal D-type flip-flop with clear input, which means it has eight flip-flops with D (data) inputs and Q (output) outputs. Here is an overview and key features of the M74HC273B1R:
1. High-speed operation: The M74HC273B1R is designed to operate at a high-speed range, allowing for efficient and rapid data processing and manipulation.
2. Octal D-type flip-flop: The IC contains eight individual D-type flip-flops, each with a D input and Q output. These flip-flops are positive-edge triggered and can store data on the rising edge of the clock signal.
3. Clear inputs: The M74HC273B1R features a clear input for each flip-flop. When the clear input is enabled (low), it sets the Q output of the respective flip-flop to a low logic level (0).
4. Common clock input: The IC has a single clock input that is used to propagate the D inputs to their respective Q outputs when the clock signal transitions from low to high
