HD74HCT74A
Dual D–type Positive Edge–triggered Flip Flops
with Clear and Preset
ADE-205-290 (Z)
1st. Edition
June 1999
Description
The HD74HCT74A has independent data, preset, clear, and clock inputs Q and Q outputs in a 14 pin
package. The logic level present at the data input is transferred to the output during the positive going
transition of the clock pulse. Preset and clear are independent of the clock and accomplished by a low level
at the appropriate input.
Features
• VCC = 4.5 to 5.5 V operation
• Input terminal has protection diode
