What ever you do, don't use a Fairchild part. When I worked for Intel in the 80's, we finally band using Fairchild for any latching device. They failed on pullup current, even when the parts were sent back and they claimed they were good. We just gave up on them, we couldn't hold production

AFAIR LS can only drive one unit TTL load. I may have some 7474, even of that vintage, if you cannot find any anywhere else. cheers, Nigel Nigel Johnson, MSc., MIEEE, MCSE VE3ID/G4AJQ/VA3MCU Amateur Radio, the origin of the open-source concept! Skype: TILBURY2591 On 2022-05-14 13:48,

Hello, I have found a bad DEC 7474 chip on my M7133 board. Clearly it is a 7474 D flip flop. The problem is I don't know which modern series would be the best one to replace it with. I am sure I have seen a list somewhere of modern equivalents for some DEC chip numbers, but I can't remember
