SN74HC273PW datasheet by Texas Instruments

SN74HC273PW Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum clock frequency that the SN74HC273PW can handle?
  The SN74HC273PW can handle clock frequencies up to 35 MHz.
• How do I ensure that the flip-flops are properly initialized on power-up?
  To ensure proper initialization, connect the CLR (clear) input to a power-on reset circuit or a manual reset button. This will ensure that the flip-flops are reset to a known state on power-up.
• What is the maximum capacitive load that the SN74HC273PW can drive?
  The SN74HC273PW can drive up to 50 pF of capacitive load per output.
• Can I use the SN74HC273PW in a 5V system?
  Yes, the SN74HC273PW is compatible with 5V systems. However, ensure that the input voltage (VCC) is within the recommended operating range of 2V to 6V.
• How do I reduce power consumption in the SN74HC273PW?
  To reduce power consumption, consider using a lower clock frequency, reducing the input signal transition times, and minimizing the number of outputs switching simultaneously.
