Frequently Asked Questions
What is the CD74HC73M96 and how many flip-flop channels does it contain?
The CD74HC73M96 is a dual negative-edge-triggered J-K flip-flop IC from Texas Instruments, containing two independent J-K flip-flop stages in a single 14-pin SOIC package. Each flip-flop samples its J and K inputs on the falling edge of the clock signal and includes an asynchronous reset input for immediate state clearing independent of the clock, making it ideal for synchronous sequential logic and counters.
What is the maximum operating frequency of the CD74HC73M96?
The CD74HC73M96 can operate at a maximum clock frequency of 20 MHz (20,000,000 Hz) at nominal supply voltage, which is characteristic of the high-speed HC CMOS logic family. This makes it significantly faster than standard 4000B-series CMOS flip-flops and suitable for medium-speed digital timing, frequency division, and synchronous counter applications in the megahertz range.
What is the difference between a J-K flip-flop and a D flip-flop, and why choose the CD74HC73M96?
A J-K flip-flop (as in the CD74HC73M96) has two control inputs, J and K, allowing four distinct operations: hold (J=0, K=0), set (J=1, K=0), reset (J=0, K=1), and toggle (J=1, K=1). A D flip-flop only captures the D input on the clock edge. The J-K versatility makes the CD74HC73M96 especially efficient for toggle-mode frequency dividers and state machines where the toggle function eliminates external logic that a D flip-flop design would require.
What package does the CD74HC73M96 use and what does 'M96' mean?
The CD74HC73M96 is housed in a 14-pin SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) surface-mount package, corresponding to JESD-30 code R-PDSO-G14. The 'M96' suffix designates the tape-and-reel packaging format (2500 units per 13-inch reel) optimized for high-volume automated SMT assembly. It is RoHS compliant and Pb-free as indicated by the E4 JESD-609 code.
What are typical applications for the CD74HC73M96?
Typical applications include binary divide-by-2 frequency dividers in clock generation circuits, synchronous counters and shift registers in digital sequencers, toggle-mode latches for switch debouncing and edge detection, state machine flip-flop stages in FPGA prototype support circuits, and general-purpose bistable elements in microcontroller peripheral interfaces, industrial PLCs, and communication equipment timing circuits requiring negative-edge clock triggering.
