DM74S174N Hex/Quad D Flip-Flops with Clear

The DM74S174N is a high-speed, integrated circuit device from ON Semiconductor that offers a reliable solution for digital storage applications. This component is a member of the 74S series and is designed to be used in systems where high-speed, low-power consumption, and efficient operation are of paramount importance.

Constructed with six D-type flip-flops, the DM74S174N features a single-rail supply and has a wide operating voltage range. Each flip-flop has an individual clear input (CLR\) and data input (D) along with a common clock (CLK). The clear function is synchronous, which ensures that all outputs can be simultaneously cleared on the rising edge of the clock pulse when the clear input is taken low.

The flip-flops in the DM74S174N are edge-triggered, capturing the state of their respective D inputs only on the rising edge of the clock pulse, which makes them ideal for operations that require synchronization. Once captured, the data is stored and presented at the output (Q) until the next rising edge of the clock or until the clear input is activated.

This device is fabricated with NPN silicon gate technology, which is known for its high speed and robust performance. The DM74S174N comes in a standard 16-pin DIP (Dual In-line Package), making it suitable for breadboard prototyping as well as for permanent soldered use in printed circuit boards (PCBs).

Applications for the DM74S174N are diverse and include data storage, data transfer, shift registers, counters, and any other system that requires a stable and reliable flip-flop configuration. Its fast propagation delay and setup times make it an excellent choice for high-performance systems.

ON Semiconductor ensures that the DM74S174N meets strict quality and reliability standards, providing designers and engineers with a dependable component for their digital logic circuits. The DM74S174N is also characterized for operation over the full military temperature range of -55°C to +125°C, catering to applications that demand operation in extreme environmental conditions.
