The SN74LS374NG4 is an integrated circuit (IC) component that belongs to the family of 74LS logic devices. It is specifically designed as an octal D-type flip-flop with 3-state outputs. This IC is widely used in various digital circuits such as data storage, address latching, and synchronization.
Key Features:
1. Octal D-Type Flip-Flop: The SN74LS374NG4 includes eight individual D-type flip-flops, each capable of storing one bit of data. These flip-flops can be independently controlled, allowing simultaneous data storage or retrieval.
2. 3-State Outputs: The IC features 3-state outputs, which means it can drive the connected circuitry or be put in a high-impedance state, effectively disconnecting itself from the output bus. This feature is especially useful in bus-oriented systems, where multiple devices share the same data bus.
3. High-Speed Operation: The SN74LS374NG4 operates at a high-frequency range, making it suitable for applications requiring rapid data transfer or processing. It is capable of handling clock frequencies up to 25 MHz, enabling efficient performance in time-critical systems.
4. Wide Operating Voltage Range: This IC component can operate within a broad voltage range, typically between 4.75V to 5.25V. This flexibility allows it to be compatible with various power supply configurations
