MC74HC174AN

Flip Flops Overview

The MC74HC174AN is a hex D-type flip-flop manufactured by onsemi, belonging to the HC logic series. It features six independent D-type flip-flops with positive-edge triggering and an asynchronous clear input. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 2 V to 6 V and utilizes a 16-pin DIP package. Key electrical parameters include a propagation delay of 110 ns, high-level output current of -5.2 mA, and low-level output current of 5.2 mA. It supports single-ended inputs and outputs with non-inverting polarity.

Flip Flops Feature Summary

• Hex configuration providing six independent D-type flip-flops in a single package
• Positive-edge clock triggering for synchronous data transfer
• Asynchronous clear function for immediate output reset
• CMOS technology ensuring low static power consumption

Flip Flops Applications

• Parallel-to-serial data conversion circuits
• Shift register implementations
• Memory address latching systems
• Digital signal processing data storage

Flip Flops Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'AN' against official onsemi documentation to confirm the through-hole DIP-16 package variant, as surface-mount versions like 'ADR' exist. Ensure compatibility with standard CMOS logic levels and check RoHS compliance status via the manufacturer's current product status pages before finalizing procurement orders.

Flip Flops Selection Notes

Select this component when a hex D-type flip-flop with asynchronous clear is required in a through-hole design. Compare propagation delay specifications against system timing requirements. Verify that the operating temperature range meets environmental constraints. Consider pinout compatibility with existing circuit layouts designed for standard 74HC174 equivalents.

Flip Flops Part Context

This part belongs to the 74HC174 family of high-speed CMOS logic devices. It serves as a fundamental building block for sequential logic circuits requiring multiple storage elements. The HC series offers wide voltage operation and noise immunity suitable for general-purpose digital applications. It complements other 74-series logic families in mixed-technology designs.

Flip Flops Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include MC74HC174ADTR2G (TSSOP) and SN74HC174DBR (SOIC). Verify package dimensions and pin compatibility when transitioning between through-hole and surface-mount variants. Cross-reference electrical characteristics with alternative manufacturers such as Texas Instruments or Nexperia for equivalent performance.
