Product Overview: SN74LS273 Octal D-Type Flip-Flop

The SN74LS273 device from ON Semiconductor is a high-performance octal D-type flip-flop with a clear feature. This integrated circuit (IC) is designed for use in a wide variety of applications, ranging from data storage, transfer systems, to register functions in computing and digital systems. With its robust design conforming to the Low Power Schottky (LS) technology, the SN74LS273 ensures efficient operation with lower power consumption.

Key Features

• Logic Type: D-Type Flip-Flop
• Number of Circuits: 8
• Output Type: Standard
• Trigger Type: Positive Edge
• Propagation Delay Time: Typically 15ns at 5V
• Supply Voltage Range: 4.75V to 5.25V
• Operating Temperature: 0°C to +70°C
• Package / Case: DIP-20, SOIC-20

The SN74LS273 features eight edge-triggered D-type flip-flops with individual D inputs and Q outputs. The clear function is synchronous and is activated by a low level on the clear input. This ensures that all outputs will be in a low state when the clear input is active. Additionally, the device has a buffered clock input which reduces the risk of triggering due to noise or slow-rising clock edges.

Applications

This versatile IC is ideal for a broad range of applications, including:

• Storage registers
• Shift registers
• Pattern generators

The SN74LS273 is available in industry-standard DIP-20 and SOIC-20 packages, making it suitable for both through-hole and surface-mount technology (SMT) board designs. Its compatibility with other LS series logic products allows for seamless integration into existing designs or new projects.

ON Semiconductor's commitment to quality and reliability is evident in the SN74LS273, making it a preferred choice for designers looking for a reliable octal flip-flop solution. Whether used in industrial control systems, consumer electronics, or data communication equipment, the SN74LS273 offers a combination of performance, power efficiency, and versatility that is hard to match.
