The 74HC374D is an integrated circuit (IC) component belonging to the 74HC series. It is a high-speed octal D-type flip-flop with 3-state outputs, designed to provide storage or transfer of binary information in electronic systems. Here are some key features and an overview of the IC component:
1. Flip-Flop Functionality: The 74HC374D comprises eight independent D-type flip-flops with clock enable (CE) and clear (CLR) inputs. These flip-flops can store a single bit of binary information (0 or 1) and can be triggered by a clock signal.
2. High-Speed Operation: The IC component operates at high speeds, making it suitable for applications that require rapid data transfer or storage.
3. 3-State Outputs: The 74HC374D features 3-state outputs, which means that the outputs can be actively driven low, actively driven high, or in a high-impedance state (disconnected from the circuit). This flexibility allows multiple devices to share a common bus without interfering with each other.
4. Schmitt-Trigger Inputs: The inputs of the IC component are Schmitt-triggered, ensuring robustness against noise and providing better immunity to slow input transitions.
5. Compatibility: The 74HC374D is a CMOS-based IC component and is compatible with TTL (transistor-transistor logic) inputs
