The SN74HCT273DW is an octal D-type flip-flop component manufactured by Texas Instruments. It is a logic device consisting of eight separate D-type flip-flops, with each flip-flop serving as a separate data user-controlled set-reset memory. It is equipped with both a clock and a clear (or reset) line to initiate and control the internal function. Along with high-speed operation, the device has an integrated hot-plug feature, allowing you to turn it off or on while the circuit is powered. This makes the SN74HCT273DW an ideal component for a variety of applications, such as digital logic systems, memory elements within digital systems, and counters or shift registers. The component operates over a supply voltage range of 2.0 - 6.0 V and the logic levels of the inputs, outputs, and clear are compatible with TTL.
