Product details
Overview
74AHC74PW/S400J from NXP Semiconductors is a dual D-type flip-flop with complementary outputs, non-inverting inputs, and independent set/reset controls. It operates at 2V–5.5V supply, features 7.5ns typical propagation delay at 5V, and supports 100MHz maximum clock frequency in high-speed logic applications such as clock division and data synchronization in industrial control interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the 74AHC74PW/S400J datasheet, 74AHC74PW/S400J pinout, 74AHC74PW/S400J application, or 74AHC74PW/S400J equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 2V minimum VCC operation, rail-to-rail output swing, low dynamic power consumption (0.5µA ICC at standby), and compatibility with 3.3V/5V mixed-signal system interfacing.
Technical Context
This device implements two independent edge-triggered D flip-flops in a single TSSOP-14 package. Each section includes asynchronous active-low preset (PR̅) and clear (CLR̅) inputs, enabling direct state initialization without clock dependency. The flip-flops respond to the rising edge of the clock signal (CP), ensuring deterministic timing behavior in synchronous digital systems.
Designed for AHC logic family compatibility, it delivers CMOS-level input thresholds, TTL-compatible output drive capability (±8mA), and ESD protection exceeding 2kV HBM. Its propagation delay variation across voltage and temperature is tightly controlled to support reliable setup/hold timing margins in FPGA companion logic and microcontroller peripheral handshaking circuits.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Family | AHC - advanced high-speed CMOS with 5V tolerance and low power |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.0V to 5.5V - enables interoperability between 3.3V and 5V subsystems |
| Max Clock Frequency | 100 MHz at VCC = 5V - supports high-speed data latching in real-time control loops |
| Propagation Delay (tPD) | 7.5 ns typical at VCC = 5V - ensures tight timing alignment in multi-stage pipeline logic |
| Output Drive Strength | ±8 mA at VCC = 4.5V - sufficient to drive 50Ω transmission lines or multiple 74-series inputs |
| Input Threshold Voltage | VIH = 3.15V min, VIL = 1.35V max at VCC = 4.5V - provides noise margin >0.8V in noisy industrial environments |
Pinout & Package

| 2, 5, 11, 14 | Q Output | True output of respective D flip-flop; drives downstream logic or bus lines |
| 3, 6, 12 | Q̅ Output | Complementary output; enables differential signaling or reset feedback paths |
| 7 | GND | Ground reference for all internal circuitry and I/O buffers |
| 14 | VCC | Positive supply rail; must be decoupled locally with 100nF ceramic capacitor |
| 8, 9 | CP (Clock) | Rising-edge sensitive clock input; determines exact sampling instant of D input |
| 1, 3, 10, 12 | PR̅ / CLR̅ | Active-low asynchronous preset/clear; overrides clock and data to force known state |
Key Features

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74LVC74APW | Lower VCC range (1.65–3.6V); 3.3V-only operation; 3.5ns tPD at 3.3V | Suitable only for 3.3V systems; not 5V-tolerant | Select when system uses exclusively 3.3V logic and requires faster switching |
| SN74AUP2G74DCUR | Single-channel, ultra-low power (0.9µA ICC), 1.8–3.6V only, SC70-8 package | Limited to space-constrained, battery-powered designs; no 5V interface capability | Choose for portable devices where power budget is <1µA and dual-channel functionality is not required |
Compared with 74AHC74PW/S400J, the 74LVC74APW offers higher speed but sacrifices 5V interoperability, while the SN74AUP2G74DCUR reduces size and quiescent current at the cost of channel count and voltage flexibility-making the AHC variant optimal for mixed-voltage industrial control where robustness and compatibility are prioritized.

FAQ
Is 74AHC74PW/S400J compatible with 3.3V microcontroller GPIOs?
Yes. With VCC = 3.3V, its input thresholds (VIL ≤ 1.0V, VIH ≥ 2.0V) and output levels (VOH ≥ 3.1V, VOL ≤ 0.2V) meet 3.3V LVTTL specifications. It drives standard 3.3V logic loads directly without level shifters, and its 2V–5.5V supply range allows seamless integration into mixed-voltage boards.
What is the maximum allowable clock rise time for reliable operation?
The datasheet specifies a maximum input transition time of 10 ns for guaranteed setup/hold timing compliance. Exceeding this may cause metastability or missed clock edges. For reliable operation at 100 MHz, use controlled-impedance routing with <10 ns edge rate, and avoid slow-rising clock sources such as RC-filtered oscillators or unterminated traces.
Can PR̅ and CLR̅ be used simultaneously on the same flip-flop?
No. Asserting both PR̅ and CLR̅ low simultaneously violates the recommended operating conditions and results in undefined output states (Q and Q̅ may become identical). The datasheet explicitly prohibits concurrent assertion; only one asynchronous control should be active at a time to ensure predictable initialization behavior.
Does this device support hot insertion or live insertion into powered backplanes?
No. 74AHC74PW/S400J lacks hot-swap protection features such as power-up sequencing control, IOFF isolation, or bus-hold circuitry. Applying VCC while inputs are driven can cause latch-up or excessive current draw. Always power the device before applying signal voltages, and use series resistors or dedicated hot-swap controllers if live insertion is required.
