The CD74HCT73E is an integrated circuit (IC) component primarily used in digital circuits. It is a dual positive-edge triggered J-K flip-flop, manufactured by Texas Instruments. This IC is part of the HCT series which provides high performance CMOS (complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor) logic technology combined with TTL (transistor-transistor logic) compatibility.
Key Features:
1. Dual J-K Flip-Flops: The CD74HCT73E consists of two independent J-K flip-flops with individual J (J1, J2) and K (K1, K2) inputs, clock inputs (CP1, CP2), and complementary output pins (Q1, Q1', Q2, Q2'). These flip-flops operate on positive clock edge transitions.
2. High-Speed Operation: The HCT series is known for its high-speed operation. The CD74HCT73E is designed to work within a wide voltage range and can handle clock frequencies up to 25 MHz, making it suitable for high-speed digital applications.
3. TTL Compatibility: The IC is designed to be pin-compatible with existing TTL logic families. This compatibility allows it to be used as a drop-in replacement for older TTL chips, offering increased performance at reduced power consumption
