The SN74F174AN is an integrated circuit (IC) component that belongs to the 74F series. It is a hex (6-bit) D-type flip-flop with clear, which means it can store six bits of data and latch it based on a clock signal. Below are the key features of the SN74F174AN IC:
1. Hex D-type Flip-Flops: The SN74F174AN consists of six individual D-type flip-flops, designated as D1 to D6. Each flip-flop stores one bit of data, which can be either a logic 0 or a logic 1.
2. Clock Signal: This IC uses a clock signal to latch the data present at its inputs. The positive edge of the clock signal triggers the transfer of data from the inputs to the corresponding flip-flop outputs.
3. Asynchronous Clear: The SN74F174AN features an asynchronous clear input, CLR. When the clear input is set to logic 0, it overrides the data input and forces all flip-flop outputs to logic 0.
4. Input and Output Pins: Each flip-flop has a data input (D) and a clear input (CLR). Additionally, there are six output pins, labeled Q1 to Q6, corresponding to the outputs of the corresponding flip-flops. These pins allow for convenient interfacing with other logic components
