The PI74FCT273TQ is a high-speed octal D flip-flop from Pericom Semiconductor (now Diodes Incorporated). It is a member of the FCT (Fast CMOS Technology) family, designed for applications requiring fast data transfer and storage. This device features separate data inputs for each flip-flop and a common clock and clear input. The data is transferred to the outputs on the positive-going edge of the clock pulse.

Applications:

• High-speed data storage
• Address and data bus buffering
• Clocked data registers
• Memory interface
• Microprocessor systems

Features:

• Fast Propagation Delay: The FCT technology ensures rapid data transfer, crucial for high-performance systems.
• TTL-Compatible Inputs: Allows seamless interfacing with TTL logic levels.
• Separate Data Inputs: Eight individual D inputs for parallel data storage.
• Common Clock and Clear: Simplifies control logic and reduces component count.
• Positive-Edge Triggered: Data is captured on the rising edge of the clock signal.
• Low Power Dissipation: CMOS technology minimizes power consumption.
• Output Drive Capability: Provides sufficient current to drive multiple loads.
