The SN74BCT8374ADWR is an Integrated Circuit (IC) component that belongs to the 74 series of digital logic devices. It is a dual 4-bit D-type edge-triggered flip-flop with 3-state outputs. The IC is designed for high-performance applications requiring buffering and multiplexing of data.
One of the key features of the SN74BCT8374ADWR is its dual 4-bit flip-flop design. It consists of two independent flip-flops within a single package. Each flip-flop has a clock input (CLK) and two data inputs (D0 and D1). The flip-flops are edge-triggered, which means the output changes only when a positive-going clock edge occurs. This design allows for synchronous operation, ensuring proper timing of data transfer.
Another notable feature of this IC is its 3-state outputs. Each flip-flop has two complemented outputs (Q and Q?) that can be disabled by the output enable (OE) input. When OE is low, the outputs are active and follow the data inputs. Conversely, when OE is high, the outputs are in a high-impedance state, allowing multiple outputs to be connected together for bus sharing applications.
The SN74BCT8374ADWR operates on a wide supply voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V, making it compatible with a variety of digital systems
