MC74AC174ML1

Flip Flops Overview

The MC74AC174ML1 is a hex D-type flip-flop with clear, manufactured by onsemi. It features positive-edge clock triggering and complementary outputs for each data bit. The device operates within a voltage range of 2 to 6 V for the AC series. It includes separate clear inputs for each flip-flop section, allowing asynchronous reset functionality independent of the clock signal. The component is designed for high-speed digital applications requiring reliable data storage and transfer.

Flip Flops Feature Summary

• Hex configuration providing six independent D-type flip-flops in a single package
• Positive-edge triggered clock mechanism for precise data synchronization
• Asynchronous clear inputs enabling immediate output reset without clock dependency
• Complementary Q and Q-bar outputs available for each flip-flop stage

Flip Flops Applications

• Parallel-to-serial data conversion circuits
• Shift register implementations
• Memory address latching systems
• Digital state machine control logic

Flip Flops Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix ML1 against the official datasheet to confirm package type and tape/reel specifications. Ensure the ordering part number matches the required temperature range and compliance standards. Cross-reference the manufacturer's latest documentation to confirm availability and any recent design changes before finalizing procurement orders.

Flip Flops Selection Notes

Select this component when a hex D-flip-flop with asynchronous clear is required. Consider the operating voltage range and speed requirements relative to other logic families. Evaluate pin compatibility and package constraints for PCB layout. Compare performance metrics against alternative manufacturers if supply chain diversification is necessary.

Flip Flops Part Context

This part belongs to the 74AC logic family, known for high-speed operation and wide voltage tolerance. It serves as a fundamental building block in sequential logic circuits. The MC74AC174 variant specifically provides six flip-flops, offering higher density than single or dual configurations. It complements other 74AC devices like multiplexers and gates in complex digital designs.

Flip Flops FAQ

Are the clear inputs synchronous or asynchronous?

The clear inputs are asynchronous, meaning they can reset the flip-flop outputs immediately regardless of the clock signal state.

What is the clock triggering edge for this device?

The MC74AC174ML1 uses positive-edge triggering, where data is transferred from input to output on the rising edge of the clock pulse.
