The 74LS series of integrated circuits (ICs) was one of the most popular logic families of transistor-transistor logic (TTL) logic chips. 74LS series is a bipolar, low-power Schottky IC. The 74LS173A 4-bit registers include D-type flip-flops featuring totem-pole 3-state Outputs capable of driving highly capacitive or relatively low-impedance loads.

74LS173 Features
- 3-State Outputs Interface Directly With System Bus
- Gated Output-Control LInes for Enabling or Disabling the Outputs
- Fully Independent Clock Virtually
