MC74LCX74MEL

Flip Flops Overview

The MC74LCX74MEL is a dual D-type flip-flop from the onsemi 74LCX series, fabricated using advanced CMOS technology. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2.0 V to 3.6 V and features differential outputs with single-ended inputs. The device provides inverting and non-inverting polarities, supports surface-mount installation in an MSOP-14 package, and exhibits a propagation delay of 8 ns. It functions reliably across an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Flip Flops Feature Summary

• Dual D-type edge-triggered flip-flops with differential outputs
• Advanced CMOS fabrication for low power consumption
• Compatible with standard logic families via pin compatibility

Flip Flops Applications

• Parallel-to-serial data conversion circuits
• Shift register implementations
• Timing and control logic in embedded systems

Flip Flops Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'MEL' against the official datasheet to confirm the MSOP-14 package variant. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives as indicated by the manufacturer's material declarations. Cross-reference ordering information directly with onsemi documentation to avoid discrepancies in package type or electrical specifications.

Flip Flops Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual D-type flip-flop with differential outputs is required for low-voltage applications between 2.0 V and 3.6 V. The MSOP-14 package suits space-constrained designs. Verify that the 8 ns propagation delay meets system timing requirements and that the -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range aligns with environmental conditions.

Flip Flops Part Context

This part belongs to the 74LCX family of high-speed CMOS logic devices. It shares functional similarities with other LCX flip-flops but is distinguished by its differential output configuration and specific MSOP-14 packaging. The LCX series is designed for low voltage operation and compatibility with various logic standards.

Flip Flops Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes such as MC74LCX74DTR2G or 74LCX74MTCX, ensuring package compatibility (TSSOP vs MSOP) and identical electrical characteristics. Verify pinout alignment before substitution.
