The CD74AC74M, manufactured by Texas Instruments, is a dual D-type flip-flop with individual data inputs, clock inputs, and asynchronous set and reset inputs. Each flip-flop has independent outputs for Q and Q', allowing for versatile signal processing. It is designed for positive edge triggering, ensuring that the output state is updated at the rising edge of the clock signal. Encased in a 14-pin SOIC package, the CD74AC74M supports high-speed operation with a 24mA output drive capability, suitable for driving moderate loads. It features a low input capacitance of 10 pF, which helps in reducing the signal delay associated with capacitance loading.
