Product details
Overview
74AHCT74BQ-Q100 from Nexperia is an automotive-grade dual positive-edge-triggered D-type flip-flop with asynchronous active-LOW set (SD) and reset (RD), complementary Q/Q outputs, Schmitt-trigger clock inputs, and TTL-level input compatibility. It operates from -40 °C to +125 °C, delivers 80 MHz max frequency at 5 V/50 pF load, and features 5.3 ns typical propagation delay. It is used in automotive body control modules for synchronized signal latching and state retention.
For engineers reviewing the 74AHCT74BQ-Q100 datasheet, 74AHCT74BQ-Q100 pinout, 74AHCT74BQ-Q100 application, or 74AHCT74BQ-Q100 equivalent, this page provides verified functional identity, DHVQFN14 package mapping, confirmed timing parameters (tsu = 5.0 ns, tpd = 5.3–11.4 ns), AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification status, and validated alternatives with documented interface and speed differences.
Technical Context
This device implements two independent edge-triggered D flip-flops sharing no internal logic-each with dedicated D, CP, SD, RD, Q, and Q̅ terminals. Its TTL-compatible inputs (VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VIH ≥ 2.0 V at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V) enable direct interfacing with legacy 5 V logic families without level shifting.
Asynchronous SD and RD assert immediately regardless of clock state, overriding stored data with priority over clocked transitions. The Schmitt-trigger clock input ensures reliable triggering even with slow-rising (≤20 ns/V) or noisy waveforms, critical in electrically harsh automotive environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - Ensures compatibility with standard 5 V automotive power rails and noise margins per AEC-Q100. |
| Max Operating Frequency | 80 MHz at VCC = 5 V, CL = 50 pF - Supports high-speed sampling in engine control and ADAS sensor synchronization. |
| Propagation Delay (tpd) | 5.3 ns (typ) to 14.5 ns (max) - Enables sub-10 ns timing-critical state updates in real-time control loops. |
| Set-up Time (tsu) | 5.0 ns - Requires data stability only 5 ns before clock edge, easing timing closure in dense PCB layouts. |
| Input Compatibility | TTL-level - Directly interfaces with 74LS, 74F, and microcontroller GPIOs without external translators. |
| AEC-Q100 Grade | Grade 1 (−40 °C to +125 °C) - Qualified for under-hood and powertrain applications per automotive reliability standards. |
| ESD Protection | HBM > 2000 V, CDM > 1000 V - Withstands handling and board-level transients common in automotive assembly lines. |
Pinout & Package
DHVQFN14 (SOT762-1) package: 2.5 × 3.0 × 0.85 mm body, side-wettable flanks for AOI-compatible solder joint inspection, exposed thermal pad (non-electrical, optional GND connection).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1RD, 2RD | Asynchronous reset (active LOW) | Forces Q = LOW independently of clock; used for system-wide initialization or fault recovery. |
| 1SD, 2SD | Asynchronous set (active LOW) | Forces Q = HIGH independently of clock; enables fast state preloading or error flag assertion. |
| 1CP, 2CP | Positive-edge clock input | Triggers data capture on LOW→HIGH transition; Schmitt-trigger input tolerates slow/noisy edges. |
| 1D, 2D | Data input | Samples and stores logic level at clock edge; TTL-compatible input threshold ensures robust 5 V logic interfacing. |
| 1Q, 2Q | True output | Reflects stored D value after clock edge; drives loads up to 8 mA sink/source at VCC = 5 V. |
| 1Q, 2Q | Complementary output | Provides inverted logic state; eliminates need for external inverters in toggle or differential signaling paths. |
| VCC | Power supply | Single 4.5–5.5 V rail powers both flip-flops; low ICC (≤40 μA) minimizes quiescent current draw. |
| GND | Ground reference | 0 V return path; pin 7 is electrically isolated ground pad-soldering optional per layout requirements. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for −40 °C to +125 °C operation with full temperature cycling, HTOL, and ESD testing-required for powertrain and chassis ECUs. |
| Asynchronous set/reset with priority | SD/RD override clocked behavior instantly, enabling deterministic fail-safe states during voltage brownouts or watchdog timeouts. |
| Schmitt-trigger clock inputs | Input hysteresis rejects <1.0 Vpp noise on CP lines, eliminating metastability risk from slow-rising signals in CAN/LIN bus peripherals. |
| Dual independent flip-flops | No shared resources-each section operates autonomously, supporting parallel data latching (e.g., dual-sensor sampling or redundant control paths). |
| TTL-level input thresholds | VIL ≤ 0.8 V and VIH ≥ 2.0 V ensure interoperability with legacy 5 V microcontrollers and discrete logic without level shifters. |
Applications
| Engine Control Unit (ECU) Signal Synchronization | Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Capturing camshaft/crankshaft position sensor pulses in real time while rejecting electrical noise from ignition systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual D flip-flop latches two independent sensor edges on a common clock, providing glitch-free, synchronized digital inputs to the MCU.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74AHCT74PW-Q100 | TSSOP14 package (4.4 mm width); 7.3 mW/K thermal derating above 81 °C; identical electrical specs. | Better manual handling and rework visibility; lower thermal performance than DHVQFN in high-power-density modules. | Select when board-level test access or hand-soldering is required; avoid in space-constrained under-hood locations. |
| SN74LVC74AQPWRQ1 | 3.3 V-only operation (1.65–3.6 V); LVCMOS inputs; 6.7 ns tpd at 3.3 V; AEC-Q100 Grade 1. | Requires level translation for 5 V systems; optimized for low-voltage MCU interfaces and battery-powered subsystems. | Select for 3.3 V domains (e.g., infotainment SoCs); not drop-in compatible due to voltage and input threshold mismatch. |
Compared with 74AHCT74BQ-Q100, the PW variant trades thermal efficiency for assembly flexibility, while the SN74LVC74AQPWRQ1 shifts to 3.3 V logic ecosystems-neither matches the BQ's combination of 5 V TTL compatibility, DHVQFN thermal performance, and AEC-Q100 Grade 1 validation in a single package.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the 74AHCT74BQ-Q100?
The 74AHCT74BQ-Q100 supports up to 80 MHz at VCC = 5.0 V with 50 pF load capacitance, as specified in Table 7 of the Rev. 5 datasheet. This maximum frequency decreases to 65 MHz at the full −40 °C to +125 °C operating range due to process and temperature derating. Operation beyond 80 MHz violates guaranteed timing and may result in metastability or setup/hold violations.
Can the 74AHCT74BQ-Q100 be used with a 3.3 V supply?
No-the 74AHCT74BQ-Q100 is specified only for 4.5 V to 5.5 V operation per Table 5. At 3.3 V, input thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.0 V) remain valid, but output drive strength, propagation delay, and noise margins fall outside guaranteed specifications. For 3.3 V systems, use the pin-compatible SN74LVC74AQPWRQ1 or 74LVC74A-Q100 instead.
Is the exposed thermal pad on the DHVQFN14 package electrically connected?
No-the exposed pad (terminal 1 index area) is not electrically connected to any internal node. Per Section 5.1, it has no electrical or mechanical requirement to be soldered. If soldered, it must remain floating or be connected to GND; it serves only thermal conduction and mechanical stability-not signal or power routing.
How does the Schmitt-trigger clock input improve noise immunity?
The Schmitt-trigger action on CP pins provides ~0.5 V hysteresis (difference between rising and falling thresholds), rejecting transient noise spikes <0.5 V peak-to-peak and enabling reliable edge detection on waveforms with rise/fall times up to 20 ns/V. This eliminates false triggering from EMI coupling on long traces in automotive harnesses or near switching regulators.
