ON Semiconductor MC74ACT74N Dual D-Type Positive Edge-Triggered Flip-Flop

The MC74ACT74N is a high-performance, dual D-type positive edge-triggered flip-flop integrated circuit from ON Semiconductor. This device is a member of the high-speed ACT family, utilizing advanced CMOS technology to achieve exceptional speed performance with the robustness of CMOS inputs and outputs.

This versatile flip-flop features two individual D-type flip-flops with direct clear and preset inputs. Each flip-flop has independent data (D), clock (CLK), set (SD), reset (RD), Q, and Q outputs. The clock triggering occurs at a particular voltage level and is not directly related to the rise time of the clock pulse. Following a positive transition of the clock, the data from the D-input is transferred to the Q output during the next clock cycle.

The MC74ACT74N is designed for use in a broad range of applications, including:

• Toggle circuits
• Counters and dividers
• Control circuits
• Register and storage applications

Key features of the MC74ACT74N include:

• Edge-triggered D-type inputs
• Buffered positive edge-triggered clock
• Asynchronous direct clear and preset inputs
• Standard pinout
• Outputs source/sink 24 mA
• ACT series features TTL-compatible inputs
• Operating voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V
• Industrial operating temperature range: -40°C to +85°C

The device is available in a standard 14-pin DIP (Dual In-line Package) making it suitable for through-hole mounting, which is ideal for prototyping and durable applications. The MC74ACT74N's robust design ensures reliable operation in various environmental conditions, making it a dependable choice for critical applications that require a high degree of precision and durability.

ON Semiconductor is known for its commitment to quality, and the MC74ACT74N is no exception. This device is designed to meet or exceed the stringent requirements of the industrial and consumer markets, ensuring high performance and reliability.
