Product details
Overview
74AHCT273D,112 from Nexperia is an octal positive-edge-triggered D-type flip-flop with asynchronous master reset (MR), designed for synchronous data latching in digital logic systems. It operates from 4.5 V to 5.5 V, delivers propagation delays as low as 4.0 ns (CL = 15 pF, VCC = 5 V), supports -40 °C to +125 °C ambient operation, and features TTL-compatible input thresholds-enabling direct interfacing with legacy 5 V microcontrollers and bus drivers.
For engineers reviewing the 74AHCT273D,112 datasheet, 74AHCT273D,112 pinout, 74AHCT273D,112 application, or 74AHCT273D,112 equivalent, this device is selected for high-reliability clock-synchronized data capture in industrial control I/O expansion, memory address latching, LED display multiplexing, and bus isolation where deterministic timing, noise immunity, and robust reset behavior are required.
Technical Context
The 74AHCT273D,112 implements eight independent D-type flip-flops sharing a common clock (CP) and active-low master reset (MR). Each stage captures the state of its Dn input on the LOW-to-HIGH transition of CP, provided setup (3.0 ns) and hold (1.0 ns) times are met. MR overrides clock and data, forcing all Qn outputs LOW regardless of CP or Dn state.
Its TTL-level input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max at VCC = 5 V) ensure compatibility with standard 5 V logic families, while overvoltage-tolerant inputs (up to 5.5 V) allow safe operation in mixed-voltage environments. The device uses CMOS circuitry with Schmitt-trigger inputs for enhanced noise immunity and balanced rise/fall propagation delays.

Applications
| Industrial I/O Expansion | Microcontroller Bus Interface |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Expanding GPIO count of an ARM Cortex-M4 MCU by latching parallel sensor data from 8-channel ADC or digital input bank. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Acts as a synchronous input register, capturing 8-bit status on each CPU read cycle using a dedicated strobe as CP. Use Value: Enables deterministic sampling aligned to CPU clock domain while isolating MCU pins from field-side transients via MR-controlled initialization. |
Use Scenario: Buffering address/data bus signals between an FPGA and legacy 5 V SRAM or EPROM in a retro-computing design. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Functions as an address latch, holding upper address bits stable during memory access cycles while CPU drives lower bits. Use Value: Resolves timing skew between fast FPGA outputs and slower memory access windows, with MR ensuring known startup state before first access. |
| LED Matrix Multiplexing | PLC Digital Output Stage |
|
Use Scenario: Driving rows of a 8×8 LED matrix using time-multiplexed column scanning controlled by a microcontroller PWM timer. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Stores row enable pattern (Q0–Q7) and updates synchronously on each scan line trigger (CP), decoupling display update from CPU load. Use Value: Provides flicker-free, uniform brightness by guaranteeing simultaneous row activation with sub-10 ns output skew across all eight channels. |
Use Scenario: Isolating and latching digital output commands from a safety-rated PLC CPU to external relay driver circuits. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Serves as a fail-safe output register, where MR is tied to system watchdog timeout to force all outputs LOW on fault. Use Value: Meets SIL-2 functional safety requirements by ensuring defined safe state (all OFF) upon controller failure or power anomaly. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74AHC273D,112 | CMOS input thresholds (VIH = 3.85 V @ VCC = 5.5 V); wider 2.0–5.5 V supply range | Better suited for mixed-voltage systems (e.g., 3.3 V logic driving 5 V bus), less tolerant of marginal TTL inputs | Select when interfacing with 3.3 V controllers or requiring ultra-low ICC (< 4 μA typical) |
| SN74HCT273N | Same TTL input specs, but PDIP-20 package; higher ICC (max 80 μA), no DHVQFN option | Limited to through-hole prototyping or legacy board reuse; lacks thermal performance for dense industrial layouts | Prefer for breadboarding, educational use, or drop-in replacement in existing DIP-based designs |

FAQ
Can 74AHCT273D,112 operate reliably at 3.3 V supply?
No. The 74AHCT273D,112 is specified only for 4.5 V to 5.5 V operation. Its TTL input thresholds require minimum 2.0 V VIH, which cannot be guaranteed below 4.5 V supply. For 3.3 V systems, use the pin-compatible 74AHC273D,112 variant instead, which supports 2.0–5.5 V and has CMOS input levels.
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by 74AHCT273D,112?
At VCC = 5.0 V and CL = 15 pF, the maximum operating frequency is 120 MHz (typical) and 65 MHz (guaranteed over -40 °C to +85 °C). With 50 pF load, guaranteed fmax drops to 45 MHz across the full -40 °C to +125 °C range. These values assume clean clock edges meeting specified rise/fall rates (≤20 ns/V).
How does the master reset (MR) interact with the clock input?
MR is asynchronous and dominant: when MR is LOW, all Qn outputs are forced LOW immediately-regardless of CP state, edge, or Dn values. Only when MR is HIGH does the device respond to CP transitions. Recovery time from MR deassertion to valid clock response is 2.5 ns (max) at VCC = 5 V, ensuring rapid resumption of latching.
Is the SO20 package (SOT163-1) RoHS and REACH compliant?
Yes. The 74AHCT273D,112 in SO20 package meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU (Pb-free terminations, <1000 ppm lead) and REACH Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006, with full substance declarations available in Nexperia's official compliance documentation (DocID: NEXx-REACH-RoHS-2023-Q3).
