The SN74AHCT374NSRG4 is an integrated circuit (IC) component manufactured by Texas Instruments. It is a high-speed octal D-type flip-flop with 3-state outputs, designed for use in various digital applications. Here is an overview of the key features of the SN74AHCT374NSRG4:
1. D-Type Flip-Flop: The IC features eight D-type flip-flops, allowing for the storage and synchronization of data on each flip-flop. These flip-flops can be easily controlled by the clock signal and the data inputs.
2. 3-State Outputs: The SN74AHCT374NSRG4 offers 3-state outputs, meaning it allows the outputs to be in an active state (driving the output) or in a high-impedance state (disconnected from the output). This feature enables the IC to easily interface with other devices and reduces the possibility of signal contention.
3. High-Speed Operation: The IC operates at high speeds, making it suitable for applications where quick data transfer and synchronization are required. It has a maximum propagation delay of 11 ns, which ensures efficient and reliable data processing.
4. Schmitt-trigger Inputs: The IC is equipped with Schmitt-trigger inputs, which provide hysteresis and make the inputs less sensitive to noise and signal fluctuations. This feature improves the overall noise immunity and ensures stable operation even in noisy environments
