CD74ACT74M96

Overview

The CD74ACT74M96 is a dual D-type flip-flop with preset and clear functions manufactured by Texas Instruments. It belongs to the 74ACT logic family, utilizing advanced CMOS technology for high-speed operation. The device features independent data (D), clock (CLK), preset, and clear inputs for each of its two flip-flops. Outputs are available in true and complementary forms. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V and supports a maximum frequency of 80 MHz at nominal supply. The component is housed in a 14-pin SOIC package and is rated for an operating temperature range from -55°C to +125°C.

Feature Summary

• Dual independent D-type flip-flops with dedicated preset and clear controls
• High-speed performance suitable for complex timing applications
• Complementary outputs provide flexibility in circuit design

Applications

• Parallel-to-serial data conversion circuits
• Shift register configurations
• General-purpose memory storage elements

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific part number matches the required ACT series specifications and SOIC-14 package type. Confirm compliance with RoHS directives and ensure the moisture sensitivity level aligns with your assembly process requirements. Cross-reference the manufacturer's latest datasheet to validate electrical characteristics against your system design constraints before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when dual independent storage elements with asynchronous control are required. The ACT series offers superior speed compared to standard HC variants while maintaining CMOS low power consumption. Ensure the 4.5V to 5.5V supply voltage range is compatible with your system's power rails. Consider the 14-pin SOIC package for surface-mount assembly compatibility.

Part Context

This component is part of the extensive 74ACT logic family produced by Texas Instruments. It serves as a fundamental building block for sequential logic circuits. The ACT series bridges the performance gap between older AC logic and faster LVC technologies, providing robust switching speeds. It is widely used in digital systems requiring reliable state retention and fast clocking capabilities.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other manufacturers' equivalents such as the MC74ACT74DR2G from onsemi. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical parameter alignment, particularly propagation delay and output drive current, when considering alternative sources.
