Product details
Overview
74HC273BQ-Q100 from Nexperia is an automotive-grade octal positive-edge-triggered D-type flip-flop with synchronous data capture and asynchronous master reset (active LOW). It operates across 2.0 V to 6.0 V supply, delivers ≤38 ns propagation delay at 6.0 V/CL=50 pF, and features eight independent D→Q registers sharing one clock (CP) and one master reset (MR) input-used in automotive body control modules for synchronized signal latching and fault-clearing logic.
For engineers reviewing the 74HC273BQ-Q100 datasheet, 74HC273BQ-Q100 pinout, 74HC273BQ-Q100 application, or 74HC273BQ-Q100 equivalent, this device is selected for deterministic edge-triggered state capture in safety-critical automotive subsystems requiring AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification, wide voltage tolerance, and robust noise immunity.
Technical Context
This device implements eight identical CMOS D-type flip-flops with a common positive-edge-sensitive clock and a shared active-LOW asynchronous master reset. Each flip-flop samples its Dn input on the LOW-to-HIGH transition of CP, provided setup (≥13 ns @ VCC=6.0 V) and hold (≥3 ns) timing constraints are met.
The MR input forces all Qn outputs LOW independently of CP or Dn states, enabling system-level initialization or fault recovery. Input clamp diodes allow interface to voltages exceeding VCC when used with current-limiting resistors, supporting mixed-voltage domain interfacing in automotive ECUs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.0 V to 6.0 V - supports direct integration into 3.3 V and 5 V automotive sub-systems without level-shifting. |
| Propagation Delay (tpd) | 13–38 ns @ VCC = 6.0 V, CL = 50 pF - enables reliable operation up to 24 MHz in high-speed control loops. |
| Set-up Time (tsu) | 10–15 ns @ VCC = 6.0 V - defines minimum Dn stability window before CP rising edge for valid sampling. |
| Hold Time (th) | 3 ns @ VCC = 6.0 V - specifies minimum Dn stability duration after CP rising edge to prevent metastability. |
| Output Drive Strength | ±4.0 mA @ VCC = 4.5 V - sufficient to directly drive multiple CMOS inputs or small LED indicators. |
| Operating Temperature | −40 °C to +125 °C - qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 1 for under-hood and powertrain applications. |
| Power Dissipation Capacitance | 20 pF - used to calculate dynamic power: PD = CPD × VCC² × fi + Σ(CL × VCC² × fo). |

Use Scenario: Latching door lock status, window position, and mirror adjustment commands from CAN/LIN transceivers before forwarding to actuator drivers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Synchronizes asynchronous command pulses to the BCM's main clock domain while providing hardware-level reset capability during power-on or fault recovery. Use Value: Ensures deterministic timing alignment across eight parallel control lines, preventing race conditions during multi-actuator coordination sequences. |
Use Scenario: Capturing and holding real-time vehicle speed, RPM, and warning lamp states from MCU GPIOs for display multiplexing logic. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Acts as a buffered register bank isolating sensitive display timing circuitry from MCU bus noise and jitter. Use Value: Maintains stable display outputs during MCU interrupt servicing or low-power mode transitions, eliminating flicker or ghosting artifacts. |
| ADAS Camera Power Sequencing | Electric Power Steering (EPS) Diagnostic Latch |
|
Use Scenario: Storing camera sensor enable/disable states and configuration bits during cold boot or firmware update cycles. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides glitch-free, edge-aligned storage of sequencing control signals synchronized to the ADAS SoC's reset release timing. Use Value: Guarantees precise power-up sequence execution by holding critical enable signals until all voltage rails stabilize and clocks lock. |
Use Scenario: Capturing fault flags (e.g., motor overcurrent, sensor timeout) from EPS MCU during transient events for post-failure analysis. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Functions as a non-volatile latch (with external backup power) preserving diagnostic state across ignition cycles. Use Value: Enables root-cause diagnosis by retaining first-fault condition even after system reset or battery disconnect. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74HCT273BQ-Q100 | TTL-compatible inputs (VIH = 2.0 V min), slightly higher tpd (≤45 ns @ VCC=4.5 V) and lower fmax (20 MHz). | Better suited for legacy 5 V systems with TTL-level microcontrollers or FPGAs lacking CMOS-level output swing. | Select when interfacing with older 5 V logic families where input threshold compatibility outweighs speed requirements. |
| SN74LVC273QPWRQ1 | Lower VCC range (1.65–3.6 V), faster tpd (≤6.5 ns @ 3.3 V), but only qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 2 (−40 °C to +105 °C). | Optimized for modern 3.3 V ADAS domain controllers; insufficient for under-hood powertrain use above +105 °C. | Prefer for cost-sensitive, space-constrained 3.3 V applications where full Grade 1 temperature range is not required. |
Compared with 74HC273BQ-Q100, the 74HCT273BQ-Q100 trades speed for broader input voltage compatibility in 5 V systems, while the SN74LVC273QPWRQ1 offers higher speed at 3.3 V but sacrifices high-temperature operational margin required for engine bay deployment.

FAQ
Can the 74HC273BQ-Q100 operate reliably at 2.0 V supply?
Yes. The device is fully specified down to 2.0 V, with guaranteed propagation delay ≤150 ns and output drive ≥±20 μA at that voltage. It maintains AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification across the full −40 °C to +125 °C range at 2.0 V, making it suitable for low-voltage battery-sensed automotive subsystems.
Is the thermal pad on the DHVQFN20 package electrically connected?
No. The exposed thermal pad (terminal 1 index area) has no electrical function. Per datasheet note, it may remain floating or be connected to GND for thermal improvement-but must not be tied to any other potential. Soldering is optional and does not affect electrical performance.
What is the maximum clock frequency supported at 125 °C ambient?
At +125 °C and VCC = 6.0 V, the maximum guaranteed clock frequency is 24 MHz, derived from the worst-case propagation delay (38 ns) and minimum pulse width (13 ns) specifications. This ensures timing margin for synchronous operation in high-temperature engine control units.
Does the MR input require a pull-up resistor in automotive applications?
Yes. Since MR is active LOW and has no internal pull-up, a 10 kΩ external pull-up to VCC is recommended to ensure defined HIGH state during power-up, reset release, or open-circuit faults-critical for fail-safe behavior in automotive safety-related functions.
