Product details
Overview
74HC73PW,112 from Nexperia is a dual negative-edge-triggered JK flip-flop with asynchronous reset, designed for synchronous logic control in digital state machines and clock-domain interfacing. It operates from 2.0 V to 6.0 V, delivers 48 ns max propagation delay at 4.5 V, features Schmitt-trigger clock inputs for noise immunity, and supports industrial temperature range (−40 °C to +125 °C) in TSSOP14 package.
For engineers reviewing the 74HC73PW,112 datasheet, 74HC73PW,112 pinout, 74HC73PW,112 application, or 74HC73PW,112 equivalent, this page provides verified functional identity, validated pin roles, confirmed timing behavior under load, real-world use cases in edge-sensitive control circuits, and cross-reference alternatives with documented electrical and functional distinctions.
Technical Context
The device implements two independent JK flip-flops sharing no internal coupling-each with dedicated J, K, clock (nCP), and asynchronous reset (nR) inputs, plus complementary nQ/nQ outputs. Clock triggering occurs on HIGH-to-LOW transitions, requiring stable J/K inputs one setup time (min. 14 ns at 6.0 V) prior to the falling edge.
Asynchronous reset (nR) forces nQ = LOW and nQ = HIGH regardless of clock state; Schmitt-trigger action on nCP enables robust operation with slow-rising/falling clocks; input clamp diodes allow safe interfacing to voltages beyond VCC using current-limiting resistors.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply voltage | 2.0 V to 6.0 V - supports mixed-voltage system interfacing and battery-powered logic |
| Propagation delay (nCP → nQ) | 15 ns typ. / 41 ns max at 6.0 V - defines maximum clock-to-output timing budget in critical paths |
| Maximum clock frequency | 24 MHz min. at −40 °C to +125 °C - sets upper limit for reliable toggle rate in extended-temperature applications |
| Input hysteresis (nCP) | Schmitt-trigger threshold - enables clean edge detection on noisy or slow-ramping clock signals |
| Output drive strength | ±4 mA at 4.5 V - sufficient to drive 10 LS-TTL loads or moderate capacitive bus loads |
| Operating temperature | −40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood, industrial control, and power-conversion environments |
| ESD protection | HBM >2000 V, CDM >1000 V - ensures robustness during PCB handling and assembly |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP14 plastic thin shrink small outline package (SOT402-1); 14-lead, 4.4 mm body width, 0.65 mm pitch; surface-mount compatible with standard reflow profiles.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 5 (1CP, 2CP) | Clock input (negative-edge triggered) | Falling-edge sensitive; Schmitt-triggered for noise tolerance; requires stable J/K ≥14 ns before edge at 6 V |
| 2, 6 (1R, 2R) | Asynchronous reset (active LOW) | Overrides clock and data; forces nQ = LOW / nQ = HIGH immediately; no setup/hold dependency |
| 3, 10 (1K, 2K) | Synchronous K input | Controls toggle/reset behavior on next clock edge; must meet setup/hold timing relative to nCP |
| 4 | VCC | Positive supply rail; decoupling capacitor required within 10 mm for stable high-speed switching |
| 7, 14 (2J, 1J) | Synchronous J input | Controls toggle/set behavior on next clock edge; functionally paired with corresponding K input |
| 8, 13 (2Q, 1Q) | Complement output | True inverse of Q output; usable as feedback or differential signaling node |
| 9, 12 (2Q, 1Q) | True output | Primary registered output; toggles, sets, resets, or holds based on J/K and clock sequence |
| 11 | GND | Reference ground plane; must be low-impedance and tied directly to VCC decoupling capacitor ground |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| CMOS low-power operation | ICC ≤ 80 μA max at 6.0 V - enables multi-stage logic in power-constrained embedded controllers |
| Wide VCC range (2.0–6.0 V) | Eliminates level-shifting between 3.3 V microcontrollers and 5 V legacy peripherals |
| Asynchronous reset per flip-flop | Enables independent initialization of dual control channels without shared reset propagation delay |
| Latch-up immunity >100 mA | Meets JESD78 Class II Level B - prevents destructive latch-up during transient overvoltage events |
| Input clamp diodes | Allows safe interface to 12 V control signals via series resistor, avoiding external protection components |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Input Latching | Digital Power Sequencing Control |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual JK flip-flop with reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74HC73PWR | Same logic function, SOIC-14 package (SOT108-1); 3.9 mm body width; 10.1 mW/K thermal derating above 100 °C | Better board-level thermal dissipation in high-airflow environments; less space-efficient than TSSOP | Select when PCB layout prioritizes thermal margin over footprint density |
| 74HCT73PW,112 | TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V min); identical TSSOP14 package and pinout | Interoperates directly with 5 V TTL logic without level shifters; higher ICC at 6 V due to HCT process | Select when integrating with legacy 5 V TTL systems where input voltage compatibility is critical |
Compared with SN74HC73PWR, the 74HC73PW,112 offers 25 % smaller PCB area and tighter thermal resistance in compact enclosures; compared with 74HCT73PW,112, it reduces static power by 3× at 5 V but requires explicit level translation when driven by 5 V TTL sources.

FAQ
What is the minimum pulse width required on the nR (reset) input for reliable assertion?
The minimum nR pulse width is 14 ns at VCC = 6.0 V, 20 ns at VCC = 4.5 V, and 22 ns at VCC = 2.0 V, as specified in the tW parameter under Dynamic Characteristics. This ensures full internal reset propagation across process/voltage/temperature corners without metastability.
Can the 74HC73PW,112 operate reliably with a 3.3 V supply driving 5 V-tolerant inputs?
Yes - its input structure includes clamp diodes and supports VI up to VCC + 0.5 V. When powered at 3.3 V, it safely accepts 5 V logic inputs if a current-limiting resistor ≥1 kΩ is used, per Section 1 of the datasheet.
Does the device support simultaneous toggle of both flip-flops on a shared clock edge?
Yes - both flip-flops share no internal coupling and respond independently to the same nCP edge. Their outputs update simultaneously if J/K inputs are stable and meet setup/hold requirements, enabling synchronized dual-state updates.
How does the Schmitt-trigger clock input affect timing analysis in synchronous designs?
The Schmitt trigger eliminates ambiguity in clock edge detection but adds fixed input hysteresis; timing margins must still respect the specified tSU (14 ns min at 6 V) and tH (3 ns min) relative to the actual crossing point of the input waveform through the Schmitt thresholds.
