Product details
Overview
74HCT173D-Q100 from Nexperia is a quad positive-edge-triggered D-type flip-flop with 3-state outputs, asynchronous master reset (active HIGH), dual input enable (E1/E2, active LOW), and dual output enable (OE1/OE2, active LOW). It operates from 4.5 V to 5.5 V, supports -40 °C to +125 °C automotive temperature range, and delivers 20 ns typical propagation delay (VCC = 4.5 V, CL = 50 pF) in automotive-grade logic control paths.
For engineers reviewing the 74HCT173D-Q100 datasheet, 74HCT173D-Q100 pinout, 74HCT173D-Q100 application, or 74HCT173D-Q100 equivalent, this device serves as a synchronized register for bus interface buffering, parallel data latching, and fault-tolerant state retention in engine control units, ADAS sensor hubs, and body electronics modules where AEC-Q100 Grade 1 compliance and TTL-level input compatibility are required.
Technical Context
The 74HCT173D-Q100 implements four independent edge-triggered D flip-flops sharing common clock (CP), master reset (MR), and dual enable controls. Its TTL-compatible inputs accept 2.0 V minimum VIH at VCC = 4.5 V, enabling direct interfacing with legacy microcontroller GPIOs without level shifting. The asynchronous MR overrides all clock and data activity to force Qn = LOW.
Output enable logic is fully decoupled from internal register state: OE1/OE2 assertion places Q0–Q3 into high-impedance mode without altering stored data. Input clamping diodes allow safe interfacing to voltages exceeding VCC when used with current-limiting resistors.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Family | 74HCT - TTL-compatible input thresholds, CMOS output drive |
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - Matches automotive 5 V rail with ±10 % tolerance margin |
| Operating Temperature | -40 °C to +125 °C - Qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 1 for under-hood applications |
| Propagation Delay (tpd) | 20 ns typ @ VCC = 4.5 V, CL = 50 pF - Enables ≤20 MHz synchronous operation in real-time control loops |
| Output Drive | ±6.0 mA @ VOH/VOL - Sufficient to drive 10 LS-TTL loads or 50 pF PCB traces directly |
| Input Enable Logic | E1/E2 active LOW - Enables "hold" mode: outputs retain state regardless of CP or Dn transitions |
| Output Enable Logic | OE1/OE2 active LOW - Provides independent 3-state control per output pair (Q0/Q1, Q2/Q3) |
Pinout & Package
74HCT173D-Q100 is housed in a 16-pin SO16 plastic small outline package (SOT109-1), 3.9 mm body width, with standard JEDEC MS-012 footprint and gull-wing leads.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2 (OE1, OE2) | Output enable input | Active LOW control for 3-state output pairs; no effect on internal flip-flop state |
| 3–6 (Q0–Q3) | 3-state registered output | Reflects Dn state after positive CP edge when E1=E2=LOW and OE1=OE2=LOW |
| 7 (CP) | Clock input | Positive-edge triggered; LOW-to-HIGH transition samples Dn and updates Qn if enables satisfied |
| 8 (GND) | Ground reference | 0 V return path for all internal logic and I/O; must be low-impedance for noise immunity |
| 9, 10 (E1, E2) | Data enable input | Active LOW; both must be LOW to allow Dn→Qn transfer; either HIGH forces hold mode |
| 11–14 (D0–D3) | Data input | Synchronous parallel load inputs; require 12 ns set-up and 0 ns hold time @ VCC = 4.5 V |
| 15 (MR) | Master reset | Asynchronous active HIGH; forces Q0–Q3 = LOW independent of CP, Dn, or enables |
| 16 (VCC) | Supply voltage | +4.5 V to +5.5 V power rail; bypass capacitor required near pin for transient suppression |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for automotive use from -40 °C to +125 °C ambient with full reliability testing |
| TTL-level input compatibility | VIH(min) = 2.0 V @ VCC = 4.5 V - eliminates need for external level shifters with 5 V MCU I/O |
| Dual independent output enable | OE1 controls Q0/Q1; OE2 controls Q2/Q3 - enables selective bus segment isolation |
| Asynchronous master reset | MR asserts immediately to clear all outputs, critical for fail-safe system initialization |
| Input clamp diodes | Allows safe connection to signals up to VCC + 0.5 V using series current-limiting resistors |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad D-type flip-flop applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74HC173D-Q100 | CMOS-level inputs (VIH = 3.15 V min @ VCC = 4.5 V); higher noise margin but requires level translation with TTL sources | Better for mixed-signal systems with pure CMOS logic; less suitable for direct 5 V MCU GPIO interfacing | Select when interfacing to HC-family logic or when higher noise immunity is prioritized over compatibility |
| SN74HCT173QPWRQ1 | Identical function and pinout; TI's AEC-Q100 Grade 1 variant in TSSOP-16 package | Same electrical specs but different thermal resistance and board space footprint | Choose for design reuse in TI-centric platforms or when TSSOP-16 layout is preferred over SO16 |
Compared with 74HC173D-Q100, the HCT version offers native TTL compatibility for legacy MCU integration, while SN74HCT173QPWRQ1 provides identical functionality in a thermally superior TSSOP package-making the 74HCT173D-Q100 optimal for cost-sensitive SO16 layouts requiring direct 5 V logic interfacing.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the 74HCT173D-Q100?
The 74HCT173D-Q100 supports a maximum clock frequency of 24 MHz at -40 °C to +125 °C ambient (VCC = 4.5 V, CL = 50 pF), derived from its 44 ns maximum propagation delay (tpd) under worst-case automotive conditions. At 25 °C and VCC = 5.0 V with CL = 15 pF, fmax reaches 88 MHz, but system-level timing must account for setup/hold margins and board-level signal integrity.
Can OE1 and OE2 be used independently to control different output pairs?
Yes - OE1 controls the high-impedance state of Q0 and Q1 only, while OE2 controls Q2 and Q3 only. This allows partial bus isolation: for example, Q0/Q1 can remain active while Q2/Q3 enter high-Z during memory-mapped peripheral arbitration. Both OE pins operate asynchronously and do not affect internal flip-flop states.
Does the master reset (MR) override the output enable state?
No - MR forces Q0–Q3 to LOW only when outputs are enabled (OE1=OE2=LOW); if either OE1 or OE2 is HIGH, MR has no effect on output voltage levels (they remain in high-impedance), though internal flip-flop states are still cleared to zero. This preserves bus integrity during reset sequences.
Is there any difference in ESD robustness between 74HCT173D-Q100 and standard commercial-grade 74HCT173?
Yes - the 74HCT173D-Q100 is qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 1 and specifies HBM ESD >2000 V and CDM ESD >1000 V, verified across the full -40 °C to +125 °C temperature range. Standard commercial versions typically specify these ratings only at 25 °C and lack automotive-grade process validation and lot traceability.
