SN74AS576N

Flip Flops Overview

The SN74AS576N is an octal D-type edge-triggered flip-flop with three-state outputs manufactured by Texas Instruments. It belongs to the AS logic series and features a PDIP-20 package for through-hole mounting. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V and supports TTL input levels. Key electrical parameters include a propagation delay of 9 ns, a high-level output current of -15 mA, and a low-level output current of 48 mA. It functions as an inverting logic element and contains eight independent circuits.

Flip Flops Feature Summary

• Octal configuration providing eight independent D-type edge-triggered flip-flops within a single integrated circuit.
• Three-state output capability allowing controlled bus driving and isolation when not actively selected.
• TTL-compatible input structure designed for direct interfacing with standard transistor-transistor logic systems.

Flip Flops Applications

• Parallel-to-serial data conversion in communication interfaces
• Temporary storage registers within digital processing units
• Buffering stages in high-speed data transmission lines

Flip Flops Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official manufacturer documentation to confirm pinout compatibility and electrical characteristics. Ensure that the procurement channel provides valid traceability for the component's manufacturing origin. Confirm RoHS compliance status directly from the datasheet or certification documents provided by the supplier before finalizing acquisition.

Flip Flops Selection Notes

Select this component when system requirements demand high-speed operation combined with significant drive strength for bus applications. The AS series offers faster switching speeds compared to standard variants while maintaining higher power consumption. Evaluate thermal management needs due to the bipolar technology used in this specific logic family.

Flip Flops Part Context

This part is a member of the Texas Instruments 74AS (Advanced Schottky) logic family, which bridges the performance gap between standard 74S and 74LS series. It utilizes Schottky clamping diodes to prevent saturation, thereby reducing storage time and improving switching speed. The octal flip-flop architecture allows for efficient handling of wide data buses in complex digital designs.
