Product details
Overview
74AHCT273PW,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, features TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V, VIL = 0.8 V), delivers propagation delay as low as 4.0 ns (CL = 15 pF, VCC = 5 V), and supports industrial temperature range (–40 °C to +125 °C). It is used in microcontroller I/O expansion, address/data bus registration, and clock-synchronized control logic.
For engineers reviewing the 74AHCT273PW,112 datasheet, 74AHCT273PW,112 pinout, 74AHCT273PW,112 application, or 74AHCT273PW,112 equivalent, key selection criteria include its TTL-level input compatibility, 20-pin TSSOP package with 0.65 mm pitch, guaranteed 100 MHz maximum frequency at 5 V/15 pF, and robust 2 kV HBM ESD protection - critical for mixed-voltage interface and noise-immune digital control designs.
Technical Context
The 74AHCT273PW,112 implements eight independent D-type flip-flops sharing a common clock (CP) and active-low master reset (MR). Each stage captures Dn on the LOW-to-HIGH transition of CP, provided setup (tsu = 3.0 ns) and hold (th = 1.0 ns) times are met. MR overrides clock and data, forcing all Qn outputs LOW regardless of CP state.
Its TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V) enable direct interfacing with legacy 5 V TTL logic families, while CMOS output drive (VOH ≥ 3.94 V at IO = –8 mA, VOL ≤ 0.36 V at IO = 8 mA) ensures reliable fanout to downstream AHC/AHCT loads. Input Schmitt-trigger action is not present - inputs are standard TTL-compliant.
Key Specifications

| 10 (GND) | Ground reference | 0 V return path for supply and signals; must be low-impedance and tied to system ground plane. |
| 11 (CP) | Clock input | LOW-to-HIGH edge-triggered; minimum pulse width 5.0 ns; Schmitt-trigger action not present. |
| 20 (VCC) | Positive supply (duplicate) | Second VCC connection for improved power distribution; must be tied to same 4.5–5.5 V rail as Pin 2. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| TTL-compatible input levels | Enables plug-in replacement of 74LS273 in legacy 5 V systems without redesigning input drive circuitry. |
| Common clock and master reset | Single CP and MR lines simplify PCB routing and reduce control logic overhead in multi-bit register applications. |
| High noise immunity | Guaranteed 0.4 V noise margin at VCC = 5 V (VIH – VIL = 1.2 V), reducing susceptibility to crosstalk and ground bounce. |
| Low static power consumption | ICC ≤ 4.0 μA typical at VCC = 5.5 V, enabling use in always-on logic sections with minimal quiescent load. |
| Overvoltage tolerant inputs | Inputs withstand up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC level - allows safe interfacing with higher-voltage peripherals during power sequencing. |

FAQ
Is the 74AHCT273PW,112 pin-compatible with the 74LS273?
Yes - the 74AHCT273PW,112 uses identical pinout (SO20/TSSOP20/DHVQFN20) and functional mapping as the 74LS273, including MR, CP, D0–D7, and Q0–Q7 assignments. Its TTL-compatible inputs and 5 V operation allow direct substitution without PCB changes, though decoupling and layout best practices for CMOS should be followed.
What is the minimum clock pulse width for reliable operation?
The minimum HIGH and LOW pulse width for CP is 5.0 ns at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V, per Table 7. This ensures proper triggering of the internal edge detector. Pulse widths below this value risk metastability or missed clock edges, especially under temperature extremes or voltage droop.
Can the 74AHCT273PW,112 operate at 3.3 V?
No - the 74AHCT273 variant is specified only for 4.5–5.5 V supply. For 3.3 V operation, use the 74AHC273PW,112 instead, which has CMOS input thresholds and 2.0–5.5 V range. Attempting 3.3 V on AHCT may result in VIH violation and unreliable logic recognition.
Does the MR (master reset) pin require a pull-up resistor?
Yes - MR is active LOW and internally unconnected. In absence of an asserted reset signal, a 10 kΩ pull-up to VCC is recommended to prevent floating input, which could cause unintended output clearing due to noise or leakage currents.
