The CD74ACT174M is an integrated circuit (IC) component that belongs to the ACT logic family. It is a hex D-type flip-flop with clear, manufactured by Texas Instruments. This versatile component has several key features that make it popular for various digital applications. Here is an overview of the CD74ACT174M and its important features:
1. Hex D-Type Flip-Flop: The CD74ACT174M consists of six independent D-type flip-flops, which can store and transfer data. Each flip-flop has two data input pins (D, D?), a clock input (CLK), and output pins (Q, Q?).
2. Complementary Outputs: The IC component provides both an active-high output (Q) and an active-low output (Q?) for each flip-flop. This allows for flexibility in designing logic circuits to suit different applications.
3. Schmitt-Trigger Inputs: The CD74ACT174M incorporates Schmitt-trigger inputs on its clock pins, providing better noise immunity. Schmitt-trigger inputs allow the IC to tolerate both slow rising and falling input signals, ensuring reliable operation even in noisy environments.
4. Clear Input: The component includes a clear input (CLR?), which is an asynchronous active-low input. When CLR? is low, it overrides the clock and data inputs, setting the output to a predefined state
