Product details
Overview
74ACT11074NSR from Texas Instruments is a dual positive-edge-triggered D-type flip-flop with independent asynchronous preset and clear inputs, designed for synchronous logic control in digital systems. It operates over –40°C to 85°C, supports 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply, delivers 100 MHz maximum clock frequency, exhibits 1.5 ns minimum propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL), and features TTL-voltage-compatible inputs for mixed-logic interfacing.
For engineers reviewing the 74ACT11074NSR datasheet, 74ACT11074NSR pinout, 74ACT11074NSR application, or 74ACT11074NSR equivalent, this device is selected for high-speed edge-triggered state storage where deterministic setup/hold timing (4.5 ns tsu, 0 ns th), rail-to-rail output swing, and latch-up immunity (500 mA at 125°C) are critical in industrial control and test equipment designs.
Technical Context
The 74ACT11074NSR implements two independent D-type latches triggered on the low-to-high transition of CLK, with asynchronous PRE and CLR inputs overriding clocked behavior. Its EPIC (Enhanced-Performance Implanted CMOS) 1-µm process enables fast switching while maintaining TTL input compatibility and robust noise immunity via center-pin VCC/GND layout.
Functionally, it adheres to standard D-flip-flop behavior per the documented function table: PRE = L forces Q = H regardless of CLK/D; CLR = L forces Q = L; when both are high, data at D transfers to Q on CLK↑ provided tsu ≥ 4.5 ns and th ≥ 0 ns. Output drive capability is ±24 mA at VCC = 5.5 V, supporting direct fan-out to multiple TTL loads.
Key Specifications

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| EPIC 1-µm CMOS process | Delivers high speed (100 MHz) with low power consumption (ICC typ. 4 µA at 25°C) and 500-mA latch-up immunity. |

| Asynchronous preset/clear | Allows immediate initialization or reset of state without waiting for next clock edge, critical for system startup and fault recovery. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Expansion | Test Equipment Pattern Generation |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Latching parallel sensor inputs or actuator commands in programmable logic controller backplanes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual D-flip-flop providing synchronized registration of 8-bit status/control words with independent reset per channel.

| Digital Communication Interface Sync | Legacy System Bus Glue Logic |
Use Scenario: Synchronizing asynchronous UART or SPI handshake signals between domains with different clock domains. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-stage synchronizer using cascaded PRE/CLR-controlled flip-flops to eliminate metastability in control line transfers. Use Value: Independent asynchronous controls allow forced alignment to known states before enabling clocked transfer, improving reliability in cross-clock-domain handshaking. | Use Scenario: Interfacing modern microcontrollers to legacy 8-bit parallel buses (e.g., ISA, Z80, or 6502 peripherals). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Registering address/data strobes and generating chip-select timing with precise edge alignment. Use Value: TTL-compatible inputs accept legacy bus voltage levels directly; dual flip-flops support concurrent address latching and control signal generation in minimal board area. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual D-type flip-flop applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ACT74DR | Same ACT family, identical electrical specs, but includes complementary Q/Q̅ outputs per stage and uses SOIC-14 (D) package instead of SOP-14 (NS). | No functional difference in logic behavior; differs only in package footprint and reel packaging format. | Select SN74ACT74DR if SOIC-14 board layout or tube packaging is preferred; otherwise, 74ACT11074NSR offers identical performance in SOP-14 tape-and-reel form. |
| 74LCX74M | Lower-voltage (2.0–3.6 V) CMOS variant with 3.3 V compatibility; higher max fCLK (150 MHz), but not TTL-input compatible and lacks 5 V operation. | Requires level translation for 5 V systems; unsuitable for direct replacement where VCC = 5 V or TTL interfacing is mandatory. | Choose 74LCX74M only in new 3.3 V designs requiring higher speed; avoid in existing 5 V or mixed-voltage systems where 74ACT11074NSR's TTL compatibility is essential. |
Compared with SN74ACT74DR and 74LCX74M, the 74ACT11074NSR uniquely combines 5 V operation, TTL input compatibility, and SOP-14 tape-and-reel packaging-making it optimal for industrial upgrades requiring drop-in replacement in space-constrained, high-noise environments without redesigning power or interface circuitry.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the 74ACT11074NSR?
The 74ACT11074NSR supports a maximum clock frequency of 100 MHz under recommended operating conditions (VCC = 4.5 V to 5.5 V, TA = –40°C to 85°C). This rating is verified across temperature and voltage extremes, with typical operation reaching 125 MHz at 25°C. The 74ACT11074NSR achieves this performance using TI's EPIC 1-µm CMOS process and optimized internal gate design, making it suitable for high-speed digital control and test equipment applications.
Does the 74ACT11074NSR support 3.3 V operation?
No, the 74ACT11074NSR is specified only for 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply operation and is not rated for reliable 3.3 V use. Its input thresholds (VIL = 0.8 V, VIH = 2.0 V) and output drive characteristics are optimized for 5 V TTL/CMOS systems. Attempting to operate the 74ACT11074NSR at 3.3 V may result in marginal noise margins, reduced output swing, or functional failure. For 3.3 V designs, consider TI's 74LCX74 or 74LVC74 families instead.
What is the purpose of the center-pin VCC and GND configuration in the 74ACT11074NSR package?
Center-pin VCC and GND placement in the 74ACT11074NSR's SOP-14 (NS) package minimizes high-speed switching noise by reducing power/ground loop inductance and improving decoupling efficiency. This layout lowers simultaneous switching output (SSO) noise, suppresses ground bounce, and enhances signal integrity during fast transitions-especially critical at 100 MHz operation. The 74ACT11074NSR leverages this mechanical optimization to maintain timing accuracy and reduce EMI in dense PCB layouts.
Can the 74ACT11074NSR be used as a direct replacement for the 74LS74 in existing designs?
Yes, the 74ACT11074NSR can replace the 74LS74 in most 5 V systems due to identical pinout, same dual D-flip-flop functionality with PRE/CLR, and TTL-compatible inputs. However, the 74ACT11074NSR offers significantly faster propagation (1.5–9.6 ns vs. 15–40 ns), lower power (µA vs. mA ICC), and higher output drive (±24 mA vs. ±8 mA). Designers should verify that the increased speed does not induce timing violations in legacy layouts and confirm that the 74ACT11074NSR's higher drive strength doesn't overload downstream loads.
What does "EPIC" mean in the context of the 74ACT11074NSR process technology?
EPIC stands for Enhanced-Performance Implanted CMOS-a proprietary Texas Instruments fabrication process used for the 74ACT11074NSR. It employs ion implantation to precisely control transistor threshold voltages and doping profiles, resulting in higher speed, improved noise immunity, and 500-mA latch-up immunity at 125°C. Unlike standard CMOS, EPIC enables the 74ACT11074NSR to combine TTL-level input compatibility with full 5 V CMOS output swing and robust operation in electrically noisy industrial environments.
