The 7473 is a dual JK flip-flop IC (integrated circuit) commonly used in digital electronics for storing data. It contains two individual JK flip-flops within a single package, each capable of storing one bit of information. The 7473 operates using positive-edge triggered clock inputs, with separate J (set) and K (reset) inputs for each flip-flop. When the clock signal transitions from low to high, the current state of the J and K inputs is transferred to the flip-flop outputs, updating the stored data. The 7473 also features complementary outputs Q and Q', which provide both the direct and inverted versions of the stored data. Additionally, the 7473 includes asynchronous preset (clear) inputs for setting the initial state of the flip-flops. Overall, the 7473 is a versatile and widely used component in digital design applications due to its reliable performance and flexibility in data storage and manipulation.
