Instructions for Using 74HCT74AP

1. Power Supply:

   • Ensure the supply voltage (V_CC) is within the range of 2.0V to 6.0V.
   • Connect the ground (GND) pin to a stable 0V reference.

2. Input Signals:

   • Apply input signals within the specified voltage levels:
     • Low input (V_IL): -0.5V to 0.8V
     • High input (V_IH): 2.0V to V_CC+0.5V

3. Output Signals:

   • The output low voltage (V_OL) will be between -0.5V and 0.4V.
   • The output high voltage (V_OH) will be between 2.4V and V_CC-0.1V.

4. Current Handling:

   • Ensure that the input leakage current (I_IL) does not exceed ±1.0μA.
   • Ensure that the output leakage current (I_OL) does not exceed ±10μA.

5. Timing Considerations:

   • The propagation delay time (t_pd) is typically 12ns. Design your circuit to account for this delay to ensure proper operation.

6. Power Consumption:

   • The typical power consumption (P_d) is 2.5mW. Ensure that your power supply can handle this load.

7. Handling and Storage:

   • Handle the 74HCT74AP with care to avoid static damage.
   • Store in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and sources of heat.

8. Schematic Integration:

   • Refer to the datasheet for the pinout diagram and integrate the 74HCT74AP into your circuit according to the specified connections.

9. Testing:

   • After assembly, test the circuit to ensure all parameters are within the specified limits and the device is functioning correctly.
