Product Description

The SN74279N comprises four individual S-R (set-reset) latches, which are essential for building memory units in digital systems. Each latch in the SN74279N has two inputs, labeled S (set) and R (reset), and two outputs, Q and Q̅ (the inverse of Q). The logic level present at the S or R inputs will determine the state of the Q output.

This device operates with a standard 5V power supply, which is typical for TTL devices, and features a propagation delay time of 15ns, enabling swift response to input signal changes. The operating temperature range of 0°C to 70°C ensures reliable performance in various environmental conditions.

Enclosed in a PDIP-16 (Plastic Dual-In-Line Package), the SN74279N is designed for through-hole mounting, which is ideal for prototyping and educational purposes. Its compatibility with breadboards and perfboards makes it a popular choice for learning digital logic and circuit design.
