Logic - Flip Flops

The 74AHCT374PW is an 8-Bit non-inverting D Flip-Flop with inputs, outputs and an active-low enable signal. The Flip-Flop consists of eight D-type registers, each with its own clock, enable, and outputs. The Flip-Flop has a positive-edge-triggering for the clock and a high enable input. It has an amplitude of 2.7V to 5.5V and a propagation delay of 17ns max.

Application fields

The 74AHCT374PW is commonly used in a wide range of applications such as in Control systems, Serial-To-Parallel conversion, Microprogram Counter, Synchronous Counters, Timers and many more. They can also be used in memory designs, digital systems and multiplexers. It is also used in medical devices, communication networks, aircraft applications, military and aerospace systems.

Working Principle

The working principle of the 74AHCT374PW is simple. Its input signals are evaluated by the clock pin and if the clock signal is high, the output levels of the Flip-Flop are stored. The Flip-Flop stores the input levels until the clock changesstate, at which point the Flip-Flop updates its output levels. The enable signal can be used to selectively enable or disable the Flip-Flop, allowing for more control over the Flip-Flop’s output.

The main benefit of the D-Flip-Flop is that it can transfer data from one flip-flop to another without losing any data along the way. This allows for a greater degree of flexibility in applications such as memory storage and signal routing.

The Flip-Flop is a powerful and reliable logic device that provides a wide range of features from simple data-storage to complex systems. It is typically used in control systems, signal routing, and microprocessors. The 74AHCT374PW is a great device for any application that requires a reliable and robust logic device.
