Product details
Overview
74HC74BZZ from Nexperia is a dual positive-edge-triggered D-type flip-flop with independent asynchronous set (nSD) and reset (nRD) inputs, 2.0–6.0 V supply range, 14-terminal DHXQFN package (SOT8014-1), and operation up to +125 °C - used for synchronous data latching and state storage in digital control logic, clock domain synchronization, and edge-sensitive register stages.
For engineers reviewing the 74HC74BZZ datasheet, 74HC74BZZ pinout, 74HC74BZZ application, or 74HC74BZZ equivalent, this device supports robust edge-triggered storage with Schmitt-trigger clock inputs, TTL-compatible variants (74HCT74BZ), and precise setup/hold timing (e.g., tsu = 13 ns @ VCC = 6.0 V) critical for noise-immune sequential logic design.
Technical Context
The 74HC74BZZ implements two independent D-flip-flops sharing no internal coupling; each has dedicated nD, nCP, nSD, nRD, nQ, and nQ̅ terminals. Its Schmitt-trigger clock input enables reliable operation with slow-rising clock edges, while clamp diodes on all inputs allow safe interfacing to voltages exceeding VCC when used with current-limiting resistors.
It operates across industrial and extended temperature ranges (−40 °C to +125 °C), complies with JEDEC JESD7A and JESD8C standards, and delivers symmetrical output drive (±25 mA), balanced propagation delays (tpd = 14 ns @ VCC = 6.0 V, CL = 50 pF), and low static ICC (≤80 μA @ VCC = 6.0 V).
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) | 14 ns max @ VCC = 6.0 V, CL = 50 pF - enables reliable 24 MHz operation in synchronous systems. |
| Setup time (nD to nCP) | 13 ns min @ VCC = 6.0 V - defines minimum data stability window before clock edge for deterministic capture. |
| Output drive strength | ±25 mA - sufficient to directly drive multiple 74HC inputs or small LED loads without buffering. |
| Operating temperature | −40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial PLC, and high-reliability embedded control. |
| Power dissipation capacitance | 24 pF - used to calculate dynamic power: PD = CPD × VCC² × fi × N. |
| Input leakage current | ±1.0 μA max @ VCC = 6.0 V - ensures minimal loading on high-impedance signal sources. |
Pinout & Package
DHXQFN14 (SOT8014-1) package: leadless, 2.0 mm × 2.0 mm × 0.48 mm body, 0.4 mm pitch, 14 terminals, thermal pad (non-soldered or floating/GND-connected per design).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1RD | Asynchronous reset (active LOW) | Forces 1Q = LOW regardless of clock or data - used for hard initialization or fault recovery. |
| 1D | Data input (flip-flop 1) | Samples and stores logic level on rising nCP edge - primary data path for register stage. |
| 1CP | Clock input (flip-flop 1) | LOW-to-HIGH transition triggers sampling; Schmitt-trigger input tolerates slow edges. |
| 1SD | Asynchronous set (active LOW) | Forces 1Q = HIGH regardless of clock or data - enables preset functionality. |
| 1Q | True output (flip-flop 1) | Complements 1Q̅; drives downstream logic or feedback paths with CMOS-level swing. |
| 1Q̅ | Complement output (flip-flop 1) | Provides inverted state - eliminates need for external inverters in toggle or JK emulation. |
| GND | Ground reference (pin 7) | Primary return path for all I/O and supply currents; must be low-inductance connection. |
| 2Q̅ | Complement output (flip-flop 2) | Independent of flip-flop 1; enables dual-channel storage without cross-talk. |
| 2Q | True output (flip-flop 2) | Matches 1Q timing and drive - allows parallel register banks or dual-phase clocking. |
| 2SD | Asynchronous set (flip-flop 2) | Independent control of second flip-flop - supports asymmetric initialization sequences. |
| 2CP | Clock input (flip-flop 2) | Electrically isolated from 1CP - enables dual-clock domain operation within one IC. |
| 2D | Data input (flip-flop 2) | Independent data path - used for mirrored logic, dual counters, or redundant state tracking. |
| 2RD | Asynchronous reset (flip-flop 2) | Independent reset - essential for safety-critical systems requiring per-channel fault clearing. |
| VCC | Supply voltage (pin 14) | Must be decoupled locally (e.g., 100 nF ceramic) to suppress switching noise on shared rail. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Schmitt-trigger clock input | Enables reliable triggering with rise/fall times up to 83 ns/V @ VCC = 6.0 V - reduces need for external signal conditioning. |
| Input clamp diodes | Allow direct interface to voltages > VCC using series current-limiting resistors - simplifies level-shifting in mixed-supply systems. |
| Wide supply range (2.0–6.0 V) | Permits use across 3.3 V microcontroller peripherals, 5 V legacy logic, and 2.5 V low-power subsystems without voltage translation. |
| Latch-up immunity | Exceeds 100 mA per JESD78 Class II Level B - ensures robustness against transient overvoltage and ESD-induced latch-up. |
| ESD protection | HBM > 2000 V, CDM > 1000 V - meets industrial handling requirements without additional protection circuitry. |
Applications
| Industrial Control Logic | Digital Signal Synchronization |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Latching sensor status (e.g., limit switch, encoder index pulse) in programmable logic controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Edge-triggered storage element capturing asynchronous inputs into synchronous control state machines. Use Value: Asynchronous nSD/nRD inputs enable immediate fault reset or emergency stop assertion independent of main clock domain. |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the 74HC74BZZ?
The 74HC74BZZ achieves a maximum clock frequency of 24 MHz at VCC = 6.0 V with CL = 50 pF, verified by propagation delay (tpd ≤ 45 ns) and setup/hold timing margins. At lower VCC (e.g., 4.5 V), fmax drops to 20 MHz due to increased tpd and reduced drive strength.
Can the thermal pad on the DHXQFN14 package be soldered to ground?
Yes - the exposed thermal pad (pin 1 index area) may be soldered to GND or left floating per design needs. If connected, it must remain electrically isolated from other signals and tied only to the system ground plane to avoid shorting; no mechanical anchoring requirement exists.
How does the Schmitt-trigger clock input improve system robustness?
The Schmitt-trigger action on nCP provides hysteresis (≈0.4 V typical), allowing reliable edge detection even with slow-rising clock signals (up to 83 ns/V at VCC = 6.0 V). This eliminates false triggering from noise or ringing on long PCB traces without external RC filtering.
Is the 74HC74BZZ pin-compatible with the 74HCT74BZ?
Yes - both share identical DHXQFN14 (SOT8014-1) packaging, 14-terminal layout, and pin functions. The only difference is input threshold levels: 74HC74BZZ uses CMOS-compatible VIH/VIL, while 74HCT74BZ uses TTL-compatible thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.0 V), enabling drop-in replacement where logic family matching is confirmed.
