The CD74HC173M is an integrated circuit (IC) component belonging to the 74HC family. It is a quad D-type flip-flop with a clear input, meaning it can store and manipulate digital data in four separate flip-flops. Here is an overview of its key features:
1. Quad D-Type Flip-Flop: The CD74HC173M consists of four independent D-type flip-flops, allowing for storage and manipulation of four separate digital data inputs.
2. Clear Input: This IC component features a clear (CLR) input, which, when active, sets all the flip-flops to their clear state, or logic low, simultaneously. It enables synchronous clearing of the stored data.
3. High-Speed Operation: The CD74HC173M operates at high-speed frequency capabilities, making it suitable for applications requiring quick data processing.
4. Schmitt-Trigger Inputs: The inputs of this component are equipped with Schmitt-trigger circuits, allowing for a greater noise immunity, eliminating the need for external resistor-capacitor (RC) coupling.
5. TTL Compatibility: The CD74HC173M is TTL (Transistor-Transistor Logic) compatible, meaning it can seamlessly interface with a wide range of TTL logic devices.
6. 3-State Outputs: Each of the four flip-flops has an associated 3-state output, providing flexibility in driving additional circuitry or sharing data with other devices
