What this dual flip-flop does on the board
Each element stores one bit, clocked at up to 160 MHz, making it a compact choice for register, shift-register, and control-latch functions on dense digital boards. The inverted output saves an external inverter when the logic needs the complement of the stored state.
160 MHz clock and 4.5 ns propagation delay
With a maximum clock frequency of 160 MHz and a propagation delay of 4.5 ns at 5 V and 50 pF load, this flip-flop can handle high-speed datapath pipelines and fast control handshakes. The 32 mA symmetric output drive (both high and low) means it can drive multiple CMOS inputs or a short trace without needing a buffer — useful when routing a critical inverted clock or reset signal across a dense board.
Package and footprint reality
The 8-VFSOP (2.30 mm width) package is a fine-pitch surface-mount part — the 0.5 mm lead pitch calls for a controlled reflow profile and a good stencil. The supplier device package is 8-VSSOP, so the land pattern matches the standard VSSOP-8 footprint. Input capacitance is 3.5 pF, which keeps the AC loading light on the driving gate.
