A common application for the SN74LVC74A is a frequency divider. By connecting the Q output to the D input, the Q output toggles states on each positive edge of the incoming clock signal. Because it takes two positive edges, or two clock pulses, to complete one complete pulse on the output (one pulse to toggle from low to high, another to toggle from high to low), the incoming clock frequency is effectively divided by two.
