Logic-Flip Flops are logical circuits that are used as memory elements, and can provide important functions in digital circuit system. The 74LCX74FT is a type of bistable flip-flop device, with improved characteristics of stability and reusability, which means that it can maintain its state under a wide variety of conditions. Therefore, it’s considered an important and widely used integrated circuit. This article will discuss the application field and working principle of 74LCX74FT.

Application field

The 74LCX74FT are well known for their versatility in being used as a set and reset flip-flop. These flip-flops have many applications in engineering, such as a standard bistable flip-flop for general purpose digital logic circuits, for temporal storage of digital information and for conversion of serial digital data to parallel data. Additionally, the 74LCX74FT can be used in embedded systems, computer science, telecommunications and other electronics engineering applications.

Working Principle

The 74LCX74FT is a five-pin device, with two input pins (IN1 and IN2) and two output pins (OUT1 and OUT2). The fifth pin is the enable input (EN) which is used to enable or disable the inputs. When the enable input is high, the inputs are enabled and the outputs will follow the inputs, otherwise the outputs will be forced to 0. The 74LCX74FT operates on the principles of negative edge triggered logic, where the inputs are negative-edge triggered, which means that the output will transition on the rising edge of the clock cycle.The working of 74LCX74FT can be better understood with the help of its truth table, which shows how the output of the device behaves when certain combinations of inputs are given. The truth table is as follows:

As seen in the truth table, when EN is high, the IN1 and IN2 inputs will be enabled and the OUT1 and OUT2 outputs will follow the inputs. When EN is low, the outputs will be forced to 0.

The 74LCX74FT is also very versatile in its operation and can be used in many different ways like a level sensitive latch or a hold latch, depending on the application. When used as a level sensitive latch, the OUT1 and OUT2 signals will stay in the state of the IN1 and IN2 signals, as long as the EN signal is high. Whereas, when used as a hold latch, the OUT1 and OUT2 signals are held in their previous state, even when the IN1 and IN2 signals changes, as long as the EN signal is high.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the 74LCX74FT is a versatile device which can be used in many different applications, such as providing temporal storage of digital information and for conversion of serial digital data to parallel data. It also has improved characteristics of stability and reusability and operates based on the principles of negative edge triggered logic, where the output is triggered on the rising edge of the clock cycle.
