What are the key features of CD74HCT73EE4?

  • Dual J-K flip-flop with 2 independent functions in one package reduces component count and simplifies clocked sequential logic design in digital systems
  • HCT logic family compatibility with TTL-level inputs and CMOS outputs allows direct interfacing between legacy TTL and modern CMOS logic families without level-shifting
  • Up to 20MHz max frequency with 50pF load capacitance and 6mA output current in a 14-pin DIP package provides reliable performance for through-hole prototyping and production

What is CD74HCT73EE4 used for?

The CD74HCT73EE4 is well-suited for digital logic circuits requiring clocked sequential state storage, such as frequency dividers, counters, and shift registers in educational and hobbyist prototyping boards. Its HCT family compatibility enables reliable TTL-to-CMOS interfacing in legacy system upgrades and mixed-logic industrial control panels. The through-hole DIP-14 package makes it ideal for breadboard development, manual soldering, and applications where socketed IC replacement is preferred.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of logic device is the CD74HCT73EE4?

The CD74HCT73EE4 is a dual J-K flip-flop from Texas Instruments in the HCT logic family. It provides two independent J-K flip-flop functions, each capable of operating as a toggle, set, or reset flip-flop depending on the J and K input states, making it a fundamental building block for counters, state machines, and clocked sequential logic circuits.

What is the maximum operating frequency of the CD74HCT73EE4?

The CD74HCT73EE4 operates at a maximum frequency of 20MHz (20,000,000 Hz) with a load capacitance of 50pF. This performance level is sufficient for most digital control, counter, and divider applications while the HCT family's TTL-compatible inputs ensure reliable clocking from standard 5V logic sources without additional interface circuitry.

What package does the CD74HCT73EE4 use?

The CD74HCT73EE4 is housed in a 14-pin plastic dual-in-line package (PDIP-14), JESD-30 code R-PDIP-T14. This through-hole DIP package is ideal for breadboard prototyping, socketed installations, and any application where easy manual insertion, replacement, or field service of the logic IC is required.

Can the CD74HCT73EE4 interface directly with TTL logic?

Yes, the CD74HCT73EE4 belongs to the HCT logic family, which is specifically designed with TTL-compatible input thresholds. This allows it to accept signals directly from TTL-level outputs (5V logic) while providing CMOS-level output swings, making it suitable for bridging or upgrading legacy TTL-based systems to more power-efficient CMOS designs without additional level-shifting components.
