SN74LS379N

Flip Flops Overview

The SN74LS379N is a quad D-type flip-flop manufactured by Texas Instruments in the LS series. It features positive edge-triggered operation with complementary outputs and an enable function. The device operates within a temperature range of 0°C to +70°C. Key electrical parameters include a maximum clock frequency of 30MHz and a propagation delay of 17ns at 5V with a 15pF load. It utilizes a 16-pin dual in-line package (DIP) with terminals positioned on both sides.

Flip Flops Feature Summary

• Quad D-type flip-flop architecture with individual data inputs, outputs, and output enables
• Positive edge-triggered operation providing complementary outputs for each element
• Transparent latch functionality allowing direct data passage when enabled

Flip Flops Applications

• Digital logic circuits requiring parallel data storage
• System interfaces utilizing shift register configurations
• Control logic applications needing buffered output states

Flip Flops Procurement Notes

Verify the specific package variant, as datasheets indicate availability in both DIP and SOIC formats. Confirm the manufacturer source, noting that some listings may represent New Old Stock from third-party distributors rather than current production units. Ensure the component matches the required pin configuration and voltage specifications for your circuit design before purchase.

Flip Flops Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring quad D-type flip-flops with complementary outputs. Consider the 17ns propagation delay and 30MHz clock limit for timing constraints. Verify compatibility with existing logic families and ensure the 16-pin package fits the available board space. Check if the LS series power consumption meets system requirements compared to alternative logic families.

Flip Flops Part Context

This part belongs to the Texas Instruments SN74LS series, which provides low-power Schottky logic functions. The SN74LS379 specifically addresses needs for multi-bit storage elements with enable control. It serves as a standard solution for digital systems requiring reliable data latching and buffering capabilities within the TTL logic family ecosystem.

Flip Flops Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include the SN74LS379DR in SOIC-16 packaging or generic equivalents like the MC74LS379P. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical characteristics match the original specifications before substitution.
