Product details
Overview
74HC74BQ,115 from Nexperia is a dual positive-edge-triggered D-type flip-flop with independent asynchronous set (nSD) and reset (nRD) inputs, complementary Q and Q̅ outputs per section, 2.0–6.0 V supply range, and DHVQFN14 (SOT762-1) package rated for -40 °C to +125 °C operation. It stores data on LOW-to-HIGH clock transitions with 14 ns typical propagation delay at VCC = 6.0 V and supports robust interfacing via input clamp diodes.
For engineers reviewing the 74HC74BQ,115 datasheet, 74HC74BQ,115 pinout, 74HC74BQ,115 application, or 74HC74BQ,115 equivalent, this device serves as a foundational building block in synchronous logic design-particularly where low-power, rail-to-rail CMOS-compatible edge-triggered storage with independent async controls is required in space-constrained industrial control, serial interface state machines, or clock-domain synchronization circuits.
Technical Context
The 74HC74BQ implements two identical, electrically isolated D-type flip-flops sharing no internal coupling-each with dedicated nD, nCP, nSD, nRD, nQ, and nQ̅ terminals. Its Schmitt-trigger clock input ensures reliable triggering even with slow-rising clock edges, while input clamp diodes allow safe interfacing to voltages exceeding VCC when used with current-limiting resistors.
Functionally, it operates strictly on the LOW-to-HIGH transition of nCP; data at nD meeting setup (13 ns min at VCC = 6.0 V) and hold (3 ns min) timing is latched into the master-slave register and appears at nQ after tpd. Asynchronous nSD and nRD override clock action, forcing nQ HIGH or LOW respectively when asserted LOW, with recovery time of 7 ns minimum before next valid clock edge.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Family | 74HC high-speed CMOS - TTL-input compatible only in HCT variant; this part is HC, requiring CMOS-level inputs (VIH ≥ 3.15 V at VCC = 4.5 V). |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.0 V to 6.0 V - Enables direct integration with 3.3 V and 5 V systems without level translation. |
| Propagation Delay (tpd) | 14 ns typical (VCC = 6.0 V, CL = 50 pF) - Supports >24 MHz maximum clock frequency in worst-case industrial temp range. |
| Input Clamp Diodes | Integrated - Permits safe connection of nD/nCP/nSD/nRD to signals up to VCC + 0.5 V using external series resistors. |
| Operating Temperature | -40 °C to +125 °C - Qualified for under-hood automotive ancillary logic and industrial motor drive control panels. |
| Package Thermal Resistance | 9.6 mW/K derating above 98 °C (SOT762-1) - Sustains 500 mW total power dissipation at Tamb ≤ 98 °C with adequate PCB copper area. |
| ESD Robustness | HBM >2000 V, CDM >1000 V - Reduces susceptibility to handling damage during automated assembly and field service. |
Pinout & Package
DHVQFN14 (SOT762-1) package: leadless, 2.5 × 3.0 × 0.85 mm body, 0.5 mm pitch, exposed thermal pad (non-electrical, optional GND connection), 14 terminals, pin 1 index marked by corner cut.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1RD | Asynchronous reset for Flip-Flop 1 - Active LOW; forces 1Q = LOW regardless of clock or data state. |
| 2 | VCC | Positive supply - Must be decoupled locally (e.g., 100 nF ceramic) due to fast switching transients. |
| 3 | 1D | Data input for Flip-Flop 1 - Sampled on rising edge of 1CP if setup/hold times met. |
| 4 | 2RD | Asynchronous reset for Flip-Flop 2 - Independent control; no cross-talk with Flip-Flop 1. |
| 5 | 1CP | Clock input for Flip-Flop 1 - Schmitt-triggered; accepts slow edges (≥83 ns/V rise/fall at VCC = 6.0 V). |
| 6 | 2D | Data input for Flip-Flop 2 - Electrically isolated; may operate at different data rates than Flip-Flop 1. |
| 7 | 1SD | Asynchronous set for Flip-Flop 1 - Active LOW; forces 1Q = HIGH independent of clock. |
| 8 | 2CP | Clock input for Flip-Flop 2 - Identical Schmitt characteristics to 1CP; enables dual-clock domain use. |
| 9 | 1Q | Inverted output of Flip-Flop 1 - Complementary to 1Q; usable as feedback or enable signal. |
| 10 | 2SD | Asynchronous set for Flip-Flop 2 - Fully independent; allows asymmetric initialization of both sections. |
| 11 | 1Q | True output of Flip-Flop 1 - Latched value of 1D sampled at last valid 1CP rising edge. |
| 12 | 2Q | True output of Flip-Flop 2 - Retains state across power cycles only if VCC remains stable (no non-volatile storage). |
| 13 | 2RD | Asynchronous reset for Flip-Flop 2 - Pin 4 and Pin 13 are functionally identical but assigned to separate flip-flops. |
| 14 | GND | Ground reference - Connect exposed thermal pad to PCB ground plane for optimal thermal performance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Schmitt-trigger clock input | Enables reliable operation with RC-generated clocks or noisy microcontroller GPIOs without external shaping circuitry. |
| Independent async controls per flip-flop | Allows selective reset/set of one section without disturbing the other-critical for multi-phase sequencers and fault-isolated logic. |
| CMOS-level input thresholds | VIH = 3.15 V (min) at VCC = 4.5 V ensures noise margin >1.1 V in 3.3 V systems when VCC = 3.3 V. |
| Low dynamic power dissipation | CPD = 24 pF - Limits switching current to <1.2 μA/MHz per input at 3.3 V, reducing system-level heat generation. |
| Latch-up immunity | Exceeds 100 mA per JESD78 Class II Level B - Prevents destructive latch-up during transient overvoltage events on I/O pins. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Input Debouncing | Serial Data Bit Synchronization |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Eliminating mechanical contact bounce in 24 V DC sensor inputs routed through optocouplers to 3.3 V logic. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual flip-flop acts as synchronized edge detector: first stage captures raw debounced signal, second stage aligns to system clock domain. Use Value: Achieves <100 ns metastability resolution window using internal async reset, eliminating need for external synchronizer chains. |
Use Scenario: Aligning asynchronous UART RX data bits to a local 16× oversampling clock in an FPGA-based protocol analyzer. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Each flip-flop captures one bit edge (start/stop) with independent clock enables, feeding parallel load registers. Use Value: 14 ns tpd ensures <1.5 UI timing margin at 10 Mbps, enabling error-free sampling without additional delay calibration. |
| Motor Drive Enable Sequencing | LED Matrix Row Latching |
Use Scenario: Controlling six-phase IGBT gate drivers in a servo amplifier, where PWM enable must be staggered by 100 ns between phases. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Two flip-flops generate phase-shifted enable pulses using cascaded clock division and async set/reset for startup alignment. Use Value: 7 ns recovery time (trec) permits sub-100 ns inter-phase delays without race conditions or shoot-through risk. |
Use Scenario: Holding row-select signals in a 16×32 passive-matrix LED display driven by SPI-shifted column data. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: One flip-flop latches row address; the other holds blanking interval control to prevent ghosting during column update. Use Value: Symmetrical output impedance (typ. 25 Ω) ensures uniform row turn-on timing across all 16 lines, eliminating brightness gradients. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74HCT74BQ,115 | TTL-compatible inputs (VIH = 2.0 V min), otherwise identical pinout, timing, and package. | Required when driving from legacy 5 V TTL logic or microcontrollers with weak high-drive capability. | Select when interfacing to 5 V CMOS or TTL sources lacking full rail-swing drive strength. |
| SN74LVC74APWR | Lower VCC range (1.65–3.6 V), 3.3 V only; 5.5 ns tpd at 3.3 V; different pinout (TSSOP-14). | Optimized for modern low-voltage FPGAs and ARM SoCs; not drop-in replaceable due to voltage and pin mismatch. | Choose for new 3.3 V designs prioritizing speed and lower static current (<1 μA ICC), accepting PCB redesign. |
Compared with 74HCT74BQ,115, the HC version offers higher noise immunity in mixed-voltage systems but requires stronger high-level drive; versus SN74LVC74APWR, it trades 9 ns slower tpd for universal 2–6 V operation and direct compatibility with legacy 5 V infrastructure.

FAQ
Can 74HC74BQ,115 operate reliably at 2.0 V supply?
Yes. The device is fully specified down to 2.0 V: propagation delay is 220 ns max at -40 °C to +85 °C, VIH is 1.5 V min, and ICC remains below 40 μA. This enables battery-powered sensors and ultra-low-power wake-up logic where 3.3 V regulation is omitted.
Is the exposed thermal pad on the DHVQFN14 package electrically connected?
No. The exposed pad (pin 1 index area) has no internal electrical connection. It may be left floating, soldered to a non-connected copper pour, or tied to GND for thermal improvement-Nexperia explicitly states no mechanical or electrical requirement exists for soldering it.
What happens if both nSD and nRD are asserted LOW simultaneously?
The output enters a defined, metastable-free state: nQ = HIGH and nQ̅ = HIGH per the function table. This condition is not latched; releasing both inputs simultaneously returns the flip-flop to its prior state only if nCP remains stable during release-otherwise, next clock edge determines final state.
Does 74HC74BQ,115 support hot insertion?
No. The device lacks hot-swap protection circuitry. Applying VCC before GND or connecting live signals to inputs while unpowered risks exceeding absolute maximum ratings (e.g., VI > VCC + 0.5 V), potentially damaging clamp diodes or causing latch-up.
