The SNJ54AC74W is an integrated circuit (IC) component that belongs to the 54AC series of digital logic devices. It is a dual positive-edge triggered D-type flip-flop, which means it can store a single bit of digital information and change its output state based on the input signals.
One of the key features of the SNJ54AC74W is its ability to work with a wide range of input voltages, typically between 2 and 6 volts. This makes it compatible with both TTL (transistor-transistor logic) and CMOS (complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor) logic levels, providing flexibility in various digital circuit designs.
Another important characteristic of this IC is its positive-edge triggering capability. The flip-flop's output state changes when a positive transition occurs at the clock (CLK) input. This feature makes it suitable for synchronizing different logic components and ensuring accurate data transfers within a digital system.
The SNJ54AC74W also offers two independent flip-flops in a single package, making it a cost-effective solution for applications requiring multiple flip-flops. Each flip-flop has a data (D) input, a clock input, and complementary outputs (Q and Q?). These outputs provide true and inverted outputs of the stored data, which can be utilized according to the specific circuit requirements.
Furthermore, this component has a clear (CLR) input that allows the user to asynchronously reset both flip-flops to a known state
