Additional Details:

The 74LS273P-E features eight independent D-type flip-flops, each with a D (data) input and a Q (output). Data is transferred from the D input to the Q output on the positive-going edge of the clock (CLK) input. The clear (CLR) input, when low, asynchronously resets all flip-flops, forcing their Q outputs to a low state, regardless of the clock or data inputs. The device is housed in a standard 20-pin DIP package. Due to its 3-state outputs, this device is suitable for bus-oriented applications.
