Product details

85 MHz clock ceiling and 13.5 ns propagation delay

The CD74ACT273E: This sets the data-rate ceiling for the bus — the output rise time into the load capacitance adds to the delay, so the actual toggle rate at the receiver is lower than the bare clock spec suggests. The 8 µA quiescent current keeps the standby power negligible in systems that gate the clock.

Military temperature grade and through-hole package

Housed in a 20-pin DIP (0.300-inch, 7.62 mm pitch) with a through-hole mounting footprint. The 20-PDIP supplier package mates with standard DIP sockets or wave-solder boards; the 0.100-inch pin spacing is compatible with breadboard prototyping.

Active lifecycle and compliance status

The 10 pF input capacitance per channel is typical for the 74ACT family; the positive-edge trigger and master-reset function are standard for this octal flip-flop architecture.

Frequently asked questions

What is the propagation delay of CD74ACT273E at 5V?

Maximum propagation delay is 13.5 ns at 5 V supply with a 50 pF load. This figure governs the maximum data rate through the flip-flop in a synchronous bus.

What compliance documentation does Texas Instruments provide for CD74ACT273E?

The part is RoHS3 compliant (2011/65/EU + 2015/863). No UL, IEC, or REACH certification is listed in the available documentation.
