The M74HC273P is an octal D-type flip-flop with clear, manufactured by Mitsubishi. It is part of the High-Speed CMOS (HC) logic family. This device comprises eight independent D-type flip-flops sharing a common clock and clear input. Data present at the D inputs is transferred to the Q outputs on the positive-going edge of the clock pulse. A low level on the clear input resets all Q outputs to a low state, irrespective of the clock.

Applications

• Register circuits
• Data storage
• Buffer registers
• Shift registers
• Memory address latches

Features

• Octal D-type flip-flop
• High-Speed CMOS (HC) logic family
• Positive-edge triggered clock
• Asynchronous clear input
• High noise immunity
• Low power consumption
• Wide operating voltage range: 2V to 6V

Benefits

• Provides a compact and efficient solution for data storage and register applications
• Offers high-speed performance with low power consumption
• Simplifies circuit design with its integrated octal structure
• Ensures reliable operation across a wide voltage range
• Provides a simple way to reset all flip-flops with the clear input

Additional Details

The M74HC273P typically comes in a 20-pin DIP (Dual In-line Package). The common clock and clear inputs simplify control. The asynchronous clear allows immediate resetting of the outputs, regardless of the clock signal. The HC family's high noise immunity makes it suitable for noisy environments. This device is commonly used in applications where multiple bits of data need simultaneous storage and manipulation, such as memory interfaces, data acquisition systems, and control logic circuits.
