Product details
Overview
74AHCT273BQ-Q100 from Nexperia is an automotive-grade octal positive-edge-triggered D-type flip-flop with synchronous data capture and asynchronous master reset (MR). It operates across -40 °C to +125 °C, supports 4.5–5.5 V supply, features TTL-level inputs, and delivers propagation delay as low as 4.0 ns (CL = 15 pF) for reliable clock-domain synchronization in engine control units and ADAS sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the 74AHCT273BQ-Q100 datasheet, 74AHCT273BQ-Q100 pinout, 74AHCT273BQ-Q100 application, or 74AHCT273BQ-Q100 equivalent, this device serves as a robust, AEC-Q100 Grade 1–qualified register for high-noise automotive digital subsystems requiring deterministic edge-triggered state capture and fail-safe reset behavior.
Technical Context
This device implements eight independent D-type flip-flops sharing a common clock (CP) and active-low master reset (MR), enabling simultaneous latching of 8-bit parallel data on each LOW-to-HIGH CP transition. Input setup/hold times are fixed at 3.0 ns/1.0 ns respectively over full temperature and voltage range.
All inputs tolerate up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC, supporting mixed-voltage interfacing with legacy 5 V logic or microcontroller GPIOs. Outputs drive ±8 mA loads with VOH ≥ 3.94 V and VOL ≤ 0.36 V at VCC = 4.5 V, ensuring clean signal integrity in noisy under-hood environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Family | AHCT - TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max) enable direct connection to 5 V microcontrollers without level shifters. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.5–5.5 V - Matches automotive 5 V rail tolerances; supports operation during cold-crank transients down to 4.5 V. |
| Propagation Delay (tpd) | 4.0 ns (typ, CL = 15 pF, VCC = 5 V) - Enables reliable operation up to 100 MHz maximum frequency in timing-critical control loops. |
| Input Overvoltage Tolerance | 5.5 V absolute max - Allows safe interfacing with 5 V signals even when VCC is powered down or at 3.3 V. |
| Operating Temperature | -40 °C to +125 °C - Qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 1 for under-hood placement in powertrain and chassis modules. |
| ESD Protection | HBM > 2000 V, CDM > 1000 V - Meets stringent automotive ESD immunity requirements for assembly and field reliability. |
| Power Dissipation | ICC ≤ 4.0 μA (typ, VCC = 5.5 V, static) - Ultra-low quiescent current minimizes system-level power budget impact. |
Pinout & Package
DHVQFN20 package (SOT764-1): 2.5 × 4.5 × 0.85 mm body, side-wettable flanks for AOI-compatible solder joint inspection, thermal-enhanced construction for automotive under-hood thermal management.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (MR) | Master Reset input | Asynchronous active-LOW reset forcing all Q outputs LOW independently of clock; critical for fail-safe system initialization. |
| 2–9, 12–19 (D0–D7, Q0–Q7) | Data inputs / Flip-flop outputs | Eight independent D/Q pairs; Dn sampled on CP rising edge; Qn reflects prior Dn state after tpd delay. |
| 10 (GND) | Ground reference | 0 V return path; internal die substrate connection; must be low-impedance for noise immunity and timing stability. |
| 11 (CP) | Clock input | LOW-to-HIGH edge-triggered; defines precise sampling instant for all eight flip-flops simultaneously. |
| 20 (VCC) | Supply voltage | Primary power rail; decoupling capacitor required within 10 mm for stable switching performance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for automotive use from -40 °C to +125 °C ambient, including lifetime reliability testing per stress conditions. |
| Overvoltage-tolerant inputs | Accepts 0–5.5 V input signals regardless of VCC level - enables seamless integration into mixed-supply systems. |
| High noise immunity | Guaranteed 0.4 V noise margin at VCC = 4.5 V due to Schmitt-trigger input action and balanced threshold design. |
| Common clock and reset | Single CP and MR pins simplify PCB routing and reduce timing skew across all eight channels in safety-critical paths. |
| Low dynamic power | CPD = 18 pF - minimizes switching power consumption in high-frequency applications like CAN/LIN bus interface buffering. |
Applications
| Engine Control Unit (ECU) I/O Expansion | ADAS Camera Sensor Interface |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal D-type flip-flop applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74AHC273BQ-Q100 | CMOS-level inputs (VIH = 3.85 V @ VCC = 5.5 V); lower ICC (4 μA typ); 6.0 ns tpd (VCC = 5 V) | Better suited for 3.3 V–5 V mixed-signal domains where input voltage margins are tighter | Select when interfacing with CMOS microcontrollers or when ultra-low static power is prioritized over TTL compatibility. |
| SN74LVC273PWR | 3.3 V only (1.65–3.6 V); LVCMOS inputs; higher speed (3.3 ns tpd); no AEC-Q100 qualification | Limited to non-automotive or cabin-only applications with strict 3.3 V rails | Choose only for cost-sensitive consumer or industrial designs lacking automotive qualification requirements. |
Compared with 74AHC273BQ-Q100 and SN74LVC273PWR, the 74AHCT273BQ-Q100 uniquely balances AEC-Q100 compliance, 5 V TTL interoperability, and sub-5 ns propagation delay - making it the sole qualified option for under-hood timing-critical register functions.

FAQ
What is the minimum pulse width required on the MR pin to ensure reliable reset?
The MR pin requires a minimum LOW pulse width of 5.0 ns at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V and 6.0 ns at VCC = 3.0–3.6 V across the full -40 °C to +125 °C operating range. This specification ensures complete reset assertion across worst-case voltage and temperature corners without requiring external pulse stretching.
Can the 74AHCT273BQ-Q100 operate reliably with a 3.3 V supply?
No - the 74AHCT273BQ-Q100 is specified only for 4.5–5.5 V operation. Its TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V min) are optimized for 5 V systems; applying 3.3 V violates recommended operating conditions and risks unreliable logic recognition, especially at temperature extremes.
How does the DHVQFN20 package improve thermal performance in automotive applications?
The DHVQFN20 (SOT764-1) package features an exposed thermal pad and thin 0.85 mm profile, achieving 12.9 mW/K derating above 111 °C. This enables sustained 125 °C operation with lower junction temperature rise compared to SO20 or TSSOP20, critical for under-hood ECU modules with limited airflow.
Is the GND pad (Pin 10) required to be soldered to the PCB ground plane?
No - the GND pad (Pin 10) has no electrical or mechanical requirement to be soldered. If connected, it must remain floating or tied to system GND; improper grounding can introduce noise coupling or thermal stress. The functional ground connection is provided through Pin 10's internal bond wire, not the thermal pad.
