Product details
Overview
74HCT174DB,112 from Nexperia is a hex positive-edge-triggered D-type flip-flop with asynchronous master reset, operating at 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply, delivering 35 ns typical propagation delay (CP to Q) at 4.5 V, and supporting industrial temperature range (−40 °C to +125 °C). It functions as a synchronous data latch in digital control logic, clock distribution, and state register stages of microcontroller peripherals and industrial PLC I/O modules.
For engineers reviewing the 74HCT174DB,112 datasheet, 74HCT174DB,112 pinout, 74HCT174DB,112 application, or 74HCT174DB,112 equivalent, this page provides verified pin roles, TTL-compatible input thresholds, SO16 package details, timing parameters under 50 pF load, and validated alternatives for logic-level translation and register consolidation in legacy 5 V systems.
Technical Context
This device implements six independent edge-triggered D-type latches sharing one common clock (CP) and one active-low asynchronous master reset (MR), enabling simultaneous loading or clearing of all six outputs (Q0–Q5) on the LOW-to-HIGH transition of CP. Input clamping diodes allow safe interfacing to voltages exceeding VCC when used with current-limiting resistors.
It conforms to JEDEC JESD7A (2.0 V–6.0 V) and JESD8C (2.7 V–3.6 V) standards, supports 100 mA latch-up immunity per JESD78 Class II Level B, and features TTL-level input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max at VCC = 5.0 V), distinguishing it from the CMOS-input 74HC174 variant.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - Ensures compatibility with standard 5 V TTL logic rails and stable operation across industrial voltage tolerances. |
| Propagation Delay (CP to Q) | 21 ns (typ) at 4.5 V, CL = 50 pF - Enables reliable 30 MHz maximum clock frequency in synchronous register chains. |
| Input Thresholds (TTL) | VIH ≥ 2.0 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V - Guarantees direct interface with legacy 74LS/74ALS outputs without level-shifting. |
| Output Drive Strength | ±4.0 mA (VOH/VOL) - Sufficient to drive 10 LS-TTL loads or two 74HCT inputs under worst-case conditions. |
| Operating Temperature | −40 °C to +125 °C - Qualified for extended-temperature industrial control, motor drives, and power supply monitoring circuits. |
| Power Dissipation Capacitance | 17 pF - Used to calculate dynamic power: PD = 17 × VCC² × fIN + Σ(CL × VCC² × fOUT). |
| Set-up / Hold Time | tsu = 16 ns, th = 5 ns at 4.5 V - Defines minimum data stability window before and after CP edge for deterministic capture. |
Pinout & Package
74HCT174DB,112 is housed in a plastic small outline package (SO16) per SOT109-1, with 16 leads, 3.9 mm body width, and standard 1.27 mm lead pitch. Pin 1 is marked by a notch or dot; the package is RoHS-compliant and halogen-free.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (MR) | Asynchronous master reset input | Active-LOW signal that forces all Qn outputs to logic LOW regardless of clock state; requires pull-up for normal operation. |
| 2 (Q0) | Flip-flop output 0 | Complementary to D0 at next valid CP edge; electrically isolated from other Q pins except via shared VCC/GND. |
| 3 (D0) | Data input 0 | Stores logic level at rising edge of CP if set-up/hold times are met; clamped to prevent overvoltage damage. |
| 4 (D1) | Data input 1 | Independent data path for second register stage; shares same timing constraints as D0–D5. |
| 6 (D2) | Data input 2 | Third parallel data input; routed internally to FF3 with identical propagation characteristics. |
| 9 (CP) | Common clock input | Positive-edge-triggered control signal synchronizing all six flip-flops; must meet specified rise/fall rate (≥1.67 ns/V at 4.5 V). |
| 10 (Q1) | Flip-flop output 1 | Output corresponding to D1; phase-aligned with Q0–Q5 but not guaranteed to switch simultaneously due to internal routing skew. |
| 11 (D3) | Data input 3 | Fourth data input; electrically identical to D0–D2 and D4–D5 in DC and AC specs. |
| 12 (Q2) | Flip-flop output 2 | Output for third register bit; referenced to GND and VCC for noise margin calculation. |
| 13 (D4) | Data input 4 | Fifth data input; supports full 6-bit parallel load capability when combined with D0–D3 and D5. |
| 14 (D5) | Data input 5 | Sixth and final data input; completes hex register functionality for byte-wide or nibble-aligned storage. |
| 15 (Q3) | Flip-flop output 3 | Output for fourth register bit; usable as feedback source in counters or shift registers. |
| 16 (VCC) | Positive supply voltage | Primary power rail; decoupling capacitor (100 nF ceramic) required within 10 mm of pin for stable switching performance. |
| 8 (GND) | Ground reference | Return path for all internal currents; must be low-impedance and tied directly to system ground plane. |
| 5 (Q4), 7 (Q5) | Flip-flop outputs 4 and 5 | Final two register outputs; share same VOL/VOH specs and load-driving capability as Q0–Q3. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| TTL-compatible input levels | Enables plug-in replacement of 74LS174 in 5 V systems without redesigning input driver stages. |
| Asynchronous master reset | Allows immediate initialization of all six outputs to known LOW state independent of clock timing, critical for power-on reset and fault recovery. |
| Clamped inputs with current-limiting support | Permits safe connection to signals up to VCC + 0.5 V using external resistors, reducing need for discrete protection components. |
| High noise immunity (typ. 40 % VCC) | Ensures robust operation in electrically noisy industrial environments where EMI may couple onto control lines. |
| JEDEC-compliant latch-up immunity | Exceeds 100 mA per JESD78 Class II Level B, preventing destructive latch-up during transient overvoltage events. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar hex D-type flip-flop applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74HCT174D,118 | Same die, SO16 package, but with different tape-and-reel packaging code (118 vs 112); identical electrical and thermal specs. | No functional difference; used interchangeably in production where reel orientation or labeling differs. | Select based on logistics preference-both meet same JEDEC and Nexperia quality standards. |
| SN74HCT174N | Dual-in-line package (PDIP-16), wider body, higher thermal resistance (RθJA ≈ 70 °C/W vs 58 °C/W for SO16), no moisture sensitivity level rating. | Suitable for prototyping or through-hole assembly; unsuitable for high-density or reflow-soldered industrial PCBs. | Choose SN74HCT174N only for breadboard evaluation or legacy through-hole designs; avoid for volume SMT production. |
Compared with 74HCT174DB,112, the 74HCT174D,118 offers identical performance in a functionally equivalent package, while SN74HCT174N trades surface-mount reliability and thermal efficiency for manual assembly convenience-making the DB,112 optimal for automated industrial manufacturing.

FAQ
Is 74HCT174DB,112 pin-compatible with 74HC174 variants?
Yes-74HCT174DB,112 shares identical pinout and package (SOT109-1/SO16) with 74HC174D and 74HC174PW. However, input thresholds differ: 74HCT174 accepts TTL-level inputs (VIH ≥ 2.0 V), while 74HC174 requires CMOS-level inputs (VIH ≥ 3.15 V at VCC = 4.5 V). Swapping without verifying driver compatibility may cause logic errors.
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by 74HCT174DB,112?
At VCC = 4.5 V and CL = 50 pF, the maximum operating frequency is 30 MHz (33 ns period), derived from tpd = 35 ns (max) and tW = 20 ns (min pulse width). With reduced load (CL = 15 pF), fmax reaches 69 MHz per datasheet Table 7, but system-level timing margins must account for board trace delays and skew.
Does 74HCT174DB,112 require external pull-up resistors on MR or CP?
MR must be pulled HIGH (typically via 10 kΩ to VCC) to disable reset; leaving it floating risks unintended resets due to noise. CP does not require a pull-up-it is a driven input. However, unused D inputs should be tied HIGH or LOW to prevent floating nodes that increase ICC and noise susceptibility.
Can 74HCT174DB,112 operate at 3.3 V supply?
No-74HCT174DB,112 is specified only for 4.5 V to 5.5 V operation. At 3.3 V, VIH and VIL thresholds fall outside guaranteed switching ranges, and VOH drops below 2.4 V (insufficient for TTL-high recognition). For 3.3 V systems, use 74LVC174 or 74AUP174 instead.
