MC14027BDG

The MC14027BDG is a dual J-K flip-flop that is packaged in a 14-pin dual-in line package (DIP). Queued J-K flip-flops are a type of logic flip-flop that is commonly used in sequential logic circuits. They can act both as a "set/reset" flip-flop, as well as an edge-triggered unit. The MC14027BDG specifically is a dual J-K flip-flop composed of two J-K flip-flops with integrated preset and clear inputs. The anodes of both J-K flip-flops are tied together and the pins can be assigned as either J or K input.When it comes to its application field, MC14027BDG can be most commonly found in synchronous systems like digital clocks, frequency dividers and similar electronics that call for synchronous sequential logic. Its clear and preset inputs allow it to be used as a reset switch in clocks and peripheral logic circuits. Sequential logic circuits demand a state storage element. In these types of circuits, the input stream is fed into J and K input inputs and the clock pulse serves as a trigger pulse.The MC14027BDG is triggered by a sequence of pulses applied to a clock input. On the rising edge of the pulse, the state transition defined by a logical AND of the J and K input sets the flip-flop output. In the case of J-K flip-flop, the outputs transition just before the next clock pulse rises. The easy to control preset and clear inputs meanwhile give users the flexibility to decide whether or not to reset the circuit to a known state.In order to understand the working principle, let’s take a look at the functional block diagram of the MC14027BDG. Basically, it is a dual J-K flip-flop composed of two J-K flip-flops with integrated preset and clear inputs. The two flip-flops are connected in cascade; the Q output of the first flip-flop is connected to the D1 input of the second flip-flop, while the Q output of the second flip-flop is connected to the D2 input of the first flip-flop.When the preset (PR) and clear (CLR) inputs are held high and the clock input (CLK) transitions from low to high, the logical AND of the J and K inputs sets the outputs. This is known as the “flip” action of the J-K flip-flop. When PR is held at logic low and CLR is held at logic high and the clock input transitions from low to high, the outputs are forced to logic low, thus performing the “clear” action. Alternatively, when PR is held at logic high and CLR is held at logic low and the clock input transitions from low to high, the outputs are forced to logic high, thus performing the “set” action.The MC14027BDG is an incredibly useful product and provides a wide range of advantages over its competitors. Its most important application field is synchronous electronic circuits. Additionally, due to its preset and clear inputs, it can be used in clocks and peripheral logic circuits, thus providing users with flexibility to decide when and what to reset. Its logic AND of the J and K inputs makes the flip-flop capable of performing the “flip”, “clear” and “set” actions quickly, giving it an edge over competitors.In conclusion, the MC14027BDG is a versatile and reliable dual J-K flip-flop that is often used in synchronous systems. It is packaged in a 14-pin DIP package and provides users with preset and clear inputs that allow for resetting of the circuits as desired. The J and K inputs provide the “flip”, “clear” and “set” action, thus making it an advantageous choice in many contexts.
