The MC74ACT273 is a high-performance, octal D-type flip-flop with a clear feature, designed and manufactured by ON Semiconductor. This integrated circuit is part of ON Semiconductor's ACT (Advanced CMOS Technology) series, which is renowned for its high-speed operation while maintaining the low power dissipation of CMOS technology.

Key Features

• Logic Type: Octal D-type Flip-Flop
• Operating Voltage: 4.5V to 5.5V
• High-Speed Performance: Typically 6ns at V_CC = 5V
• Output Drive Capability: 24mA at the outputs
• Clear Function: Asynchronous reset to clear the flip-flop

Product Description

The MC74ACT273 consists of eight edge-triggered flip-flops with individual D-type inputs and Q outputs. The common buffered Clock (CP) and a Master Reset (MR) input control all flip-flops. The device allows the user to store data by holding it steady on the D inputs when the clock is low and transferring it on the positive-going edge of the clock. The data on the D-input may be changed while the clock is high or low without affecting the output, as the change is only registered during the transition of the clock signal.

Featuring a wide operating voltage range and output capability, the MC74ACT273 is suitable for interfacing with bus-structured systems directly. It is fully compatible with most TTL circuits. The device is offered in a variety of packages, including the popular 20-pin DIP, SOIC, and TSSOP, providing flexibility for various design and space requirements.

Applications

The MC74ACT273 is ideal for a wide array of applications that require high-speed, low-power operation, and reliable data storage. Typical applications include:

• Buffer/Storage Registers
• Shift Registers
• Pattern Generators

With its robust design and ON Semiconductor's commitment to quality, the MC74ACT273 is a reliable choice for designers looking to utilize a high-speed octal flip-flop in their digital logic applications.
