74HC174

The 74HC174 is a high-speed CMOS hex D-type flip-flop IC providing six edge-triggered D-type flip-flops with a common clock and an asynchronous clear (reset) input. It is designed for dependable digital storage and signal processing in a wide range of electronic circuits, from logic subsystems to timing and register applications. Operating voltage range: 2 V to 6 V for broad system compatibility. Six edge-triggered D-type flip-flops with asynchronous clear for precise data latching. Maximum operating frequency up to 25 MHz for rapid data transfer and processing. Low standby current of approximately 8 µA to minimize power consumption in idle states. Standard 14-pin dual in-line package (DIP) format for straightforward PCB integration. Built on advanced CMOS technology, the 74HC174 combines improved switching speed with lower power dissipation compared to earlier designs, yielding enhanced overall performance in modern digital systems. Its CMOS implementation contributes to strong noise immunity and reduced crosstalk, supporting reliable signal integrity in complex layouts. The edge-triggered latching mechanism ensures consistent timing accuracy across all six flip-flops, and the asynchronous clear input enables rapid initialization of outputs during power-up or fault conditions. These characteristics make the 74HC174 suitable for applications that require fast, stable, and energy-efficient data storage elements within synchronous logic designs.
