PRODUCTION DATA
The SN74ACT04-Q1 can be used to add an additional stage to a counter with an external flip-flop. Because counters use a negative edge trigger, the flip-flop's clock input must be inverted to provide this function. This function only requires one of the six available inverters in the SN74ACT04-Q1 device, so the remaining channels can be used for other applications needing an inverted signal. Unused inputs must be terminated at VCC or GND. Unused outputs can be left floating.
