Additional Details

The IDT74LVC74APY features two independent D-type flip-flops, each with its own data (D) input, clock (CLK) input, set (SD) input, and reset (RD) input. The device operates when the clock input transitions from low to high. The data present at the D input is transferred to the Q output on the rising edge of the clock. The asynchronous set and reset inputs allow the flip-flops to be directly set or reset, independent of the clock. The low-voltage operation makes it suitable for battery-powered devices and other applications where power efficiency is critical. The high output drive capability allows the device to drive multiple loads without significant signal degradation.

This device is available in a variety of packages, including PDIP (Plastic Dual In-Line Package) and SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit). It is characterized for operation from -40°C to +85°C.
