The CD74HCT73M is an integrated circuit (IC) component manufactured by Texas Instruments. It is a dual negative-edge triggered JK flip-flop, which means it can store and manipulate binary data. The IC is part of the HCT family, which is known for its compatibility with both TTL and CMOS logic levels, making it versatile and suitable for various applications.
Some key features of the CD74HCT73M include:
1. Dual JK Flip-Flop: The IC consists of two individual JK flip-flops within a single package. Each flip-flop has a J (jack) and K (kill) input, which allows for data input and manipulation.
2. Negative-Edge Triggered: The CD74HCT73M operates on the negative edge of the clock signal. This means that when the clock signal transitions from high to low, the flip-flops will capture and store the data present at the J and K inputs.
3. Asynchronous Clear and Set: The IC provides an asynchronous clear (CLR) input and asynchronous set (SET) input for each flip-flop. These inputs allow for the immediate resetting or setting of the flip-flop outputs independent of the clock signal.
4. Edge-Triggered Clock: The clock input (CP) controls the timing of the data capture. When the clock signal transitions from high to low, the flip-flops will capture the data present at the J and K inputs and update their outputs accordingly
