The SN74F174ADRE4 is an integrated circuit component designed for digital logic applications. It belongs to the SN74 series family of logic devices manufactured by Texas Instruments. This specific component, SN74F174ADRE4, is a hex D-type flip-flop with clear designed for general-purpose applications.
Key features of the SN74F174ADRE4:
1. Hex D-Type Flip-Flop: This IC includes six individual flip-flops, each capable of storing one bit of information. The D-type flip-flop is a fundamental building block in digital circuit design, commonly used in applications such as sequential logic circuits, counters, and registers.
2. Clear Function: The SN74F174ADRE4 has an integrated clear function, which allows users to clear or reset the flip-flop outputs. This feature is particularly useful for initializing the circuit's state or to synchronize its behavior with other components.
3. Schmitt-trigger Inputs: The input pins of this IC implement Schmitt-trigger logic. Schmitt-trigger inputs are designed to provide greater noise immunity and eliminate signal distortion caused by slow-rising or slow-falling edges of input signals.
4. High-Speed Operation: The SN74F174ADRE4 is built using high-speed CMOS technology. It offers fast propagation delays and high operating frequencies, making it suitable for applications requiring quick switching times
