SN74AS174D Hex D-Type Flip-Flops with Clear

The SN74AS174D is a high-performance integrated circuit developed by Texas Instruments, renowned for its precision and reliability in the electronics industry. This particular IC is part of the advanced Schottky (AS) family, which is well-known for its fast switching speeds and low power consumption, making it an excellent choice for high-speed and energy-efficient applications.

The device features six edge-triggered, D-type flip-flops with direct clear (CLR) inputs. Each flip-flop has an independent data input (D) and an output (Q). The flip-flops are designed to store bits of data and are capable of transferring the data input to the output upon a positive-going transition of the clock pulse (CLK). The CLR input can be used to clear the flip-flop, setting the output to a low level, and is active when held at a low logic level.

The SN74AS174D comes in a standard 14-pin SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) package, which is suitable for surface-mount technology (SMT) and is compatible with most printed circuit boards (PCBs). This makes it a versatile component for various digital applications such as data storage, shift registers, counters, and control circuits.

Key features of the SN74AS174D include:

• High-speed AS logic operations.
• Low power consumption for energy efficiency.
• Edge-triggered D-type flip-flops with direct clear.
• Wide operating temperature range, making it suitable for industrial applications.
• Compatibility with 5-V TTL logic, allowing for easy integration into existing systems.

Texas Instruments provides detailed datasheets, application notes, and supporting documentation to assist engineers and designers in incorporating the SN74AS174D into their projects. With its robust design and high-speed performance, the SN74AS174D is an essential component for developers looking to create reliable and efficient digital systems.
