74AC74MTC

Overview

The onsemi 74AC74MTC is a dual D-type edge-triggered flip-flop integrated circuit belonging to the 74AC logic series. It features two independent circuits within a single package, providing both inverting and non-inverting outputs. The device operates with a supply voltage range of 2 V to 6 V and supports through-hole or surface-mount installation depending on the specific variant suffix. Key electrical characteristics include a propagation delay of 14 ns and output drive capabilities of ±24 mA. It functions reliably across an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Dual independent D-type flip-flops with edge-triggered operation for precise timing control
• Differential output configuration offering both inverting and non-inverting signal paths
• High current drive capability allowing direct interfacing with standard logic loads

Applications

• Parallel-to-serial data conversion circuits
• Shift register construction in digital systems
• Timing synchronization and pulse stretching applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact ordering suffix against the manufacturer datasheet to confirm pin compatibility and package type. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lifecycle stage prior to procurement. Ensure the selected variant matches the required thermal and electrical specifications for the target environment.

Selection Notes

Select this component when dual independent storage elements are required within a compact form factor. Consider the 14 ns propagation delay and ±24 mA drive strength for interface requirements. Evaluate the 2 V to 6 V supply range against system power constraints and ensure the package style aligns with PCB layout capabilities.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 74AC family of high-speed CMOS logic devices manufactured by onsemi. The AC series offers improved speed and lower power consumption compared to older HC or HCT counterparts. As a dual flip-flop, it serves as a fundamental building block for sequential logic design in various consumer and industrial electronics.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other manufacturers' 74AC74 equivalents such as SN74AC74 or MC74AC74. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical parameter alignment before substitution.
