74AC175PC

Overview

The Fairchild Semiconductor 74AC175PC is a quad D-type flip-flop belonging to the AC series of CMOS logic integrated circuits. It features four independent positive edge-triggered D flip-flops with complementary outputs within a single package. The device operates on a supply voltage range of 2V to 6V and supports a wide operating temperature range from -40°C to 85°C. It is housed in a standard 16-pin plastic dual in-line package (PDIP-16) with a lead-free, RoHS-compliant construction.

Feature Summary

• Contains four independent positive edge-triggered D flip-flops
• Provides both true and complementary output signals for each flip-flop
• Operates across a wide supply voltage range of 2V to 6V
• Constructed with lead-free, RoHS-compliant materials

Applications

• Parallel data storage and buffering
• Shift register implementation
• State machine design
• Digital timing control circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific part number matches the required AC series specifications and PDIP-16 package type. Confirm compliance with environmental standards such as RoHS if applicable to your manufacturing process. Ensure the supplier provides documentation confirming the manufacturer origin and component authenticity before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a quad D-type flip-flop with complementary outputs is required in a through-hole DIP package. It is suitable for designs needing operation at lower voltages down to 2V compared to standard TTL or HC families. Consider the AC series performance characteristics regarding speed and power consumption relative to other available logic families.

Part Context

This component is part of the broader 74AC logic family, which offers higher speed performance compared to standard 74HC devices while maintaining similar pinouts. The 74AC175 specifically addresses applications requiring multiple synchronized data storage elements. It serves as a fundamental building block for sequential logic circuits in digital systems.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include the 74ACT175 for active clamp transistor-transistor logic compatibility and the MM74AC175 from the same manufacturer. Other equivalents may be found among different vendors producing standard 74AC series quad D flip-flops in DIP-16 packages.
