The SN74LVC821ADW is an integrated circuit (IC) component that belongs to the SN74LVC family of devices. It is a 10-bit flip-flop with 3-state outputs, which means it can store and output up to 10 bits of binary data. The IC is built using advanced low-voltage CMOS technology, ensuring reliable and efficient operation.
One of the key features of the SN74LVC821ADW is its wide operating voltage range. It can work with voltages as low as 1.65 volts and as high as 5.5 volts, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. The IC is also designed to be compatible with both TTL (transistor-transistor logic) and CMOS logic voltage levels, enhancing its versatility.
The flip-flop within the IC utilizes edge-triggered D-type flip-flop circuitry. This means that the output state changes (or "flips") only when a positive or negative edge is detected on the clock input. This edge-triggered design allows for precise synchronization of data and prevents glitches or unintended state changes.
The 3-state outputs of the IC are another noteworthy feature. They allow multiple ICs to be connected to a common bus line, enabling data communication between different components
