Working Principles

The 74ACT11074DRG4 operates based on the principles of positive-edge-triggered D-type flip-flops. When a rising edge is detected on the clock input (CP1 or CP2), the data present at the corresponding data input (D1 or D2) is transferred to the respective output (Q1 or Q2). The complementary outputs (Q̅1 and Q̅2) provide inverted versions of the main outputs. The clear (CLR) and preset (PRE) inputs allow for initialization of the flip-flops to a known state.
