Product details
Overview
74HCT273DB,112 from Nexperia is an octal positive-edge-triggered D-type flip-flop with asynchronous master reset (MR), designed for synchronous data latching in digital logic systems. It operates at 4.5 V to 5.5 V, delivers 15 ns typical propagation delay (CP to Qn) at VCC = 4.5 V and CL = 50 pF, supports -40 °C to +125 °C industrial temperature range, and features TTL-compatible input thresholds for direct interfacing with legacy logic families. It is used in address/data register staging, bus interface synchronization, and control state retention in microcontroller peripheral subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the 74HCT273DB,112 datasheet, 74HCT273DB,112 pinout, 74HCT273DB,112 application, or 74HCT273DB,112 equivalent, this device is selected when precise edge-triggered octal storage with active-low global reset and robust noise immunity are required - especially in mixed-voltage 5 V logic domains where TTL-level compatibility and low dynamic power (CPD = 23 pF) matter.
Technical Context
The 74HCT273DB,112 implements eight independent D-type flip-flops sharing a common clock (CP) and a single asynchronous master reset (MR) input. Each flip-flop captures the logic state of its Dn input on the LOW-to-HIGH transition of CP, provided setup (tsu = 12 ns min) and hold (th = 3 ns min) timing requirements are met.
MR overrides clock and data: a LOW on MR forces all Qn outputs LOW regardless of CP or Dn states. Inputs include clamp diodes enabling safe interfacing to voltages exceeding VCC via current-limiting resistors, and the device complies with JEDEC JESD7A (2.0 V–6.0 V) and JESD8C (2.7 V–3.6 V) standards.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Family | 74HCT - TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max at VCC = 4.5 V–5.5 V) |
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - matches standard 5 V logic rails; not rated below 4.5 V |
| Propagation Delay (CP → Qn) | 16 ns (typ) / 45 ns (max) at VCC = 4.5 V, CL = 50 pF - defines maximum clock-to-output timing budget |
| Maximum Clock Frequency | 30 MHz (min) / 56 MHz (typ) at VCC = 4.5 V - sets upper limit for synchronous register update rate |
| Input Capacitance (CI) | 3.5 pF - contributes to total capacitive loading on driving source |
| Power Dissipation Capacitance (CPD) | 23 pF - used to calculate dynamic power: PD = CPD × VCC² × fi |
| Operating Temperature | -40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for extended industrial environments |
Pinout & Package
74HCT273DB,112 is supplied in SOT339-1 (SSOP20) package: 20-pin shrink small outline plastic package, 0.65 mm pitch, body width 5.3 mm, height 1.8 mm. Pin numbering follows standard SSOP convention with pin 1 index marker at top-left corner.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | MR | Master reset input - active LOW; forces all Qn outputs LOW asynchronously |
| 2 | Q0 | Flip-flop 0 output - reflects D0 state after next valid CP edge |
| 3 | D0 | Data input 0 - sampled on LOW-to-HIGH CP transition if tsu/th met |
| 4 | D1 | Data input 1 - independent of other Dn pins; no internal fanout limitation |
| 5 | Q1 | Flip-flop 1 output - electrically isolated from Q0 except shared CP/MR |
| 11 | CP | Clock input - edge-sensitive; only LOW-to-HIGH transitions trigger sampling |
| 10 | GND | Ground reference - return path for all inputs, outputs, and supply current |
| 20 | VCC | Positive supply - must be decoupled locally (e.g., 100 nF ceramic) near pin 20 |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| TTL-compatible inputs | VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max at VCC = 5 V - enables direct connection to 74LS/74F outputs without level shifters |
| Asynchronous master reset | MR asserts within 23 ns (max) at VCC = 4.5 V - ensures deterministic system initialization independent of clock domain |
| Low dynamic power | CPD = 23 pF - reduces switching power by ~15% vs. 74HC273 (20 pF) at same frequency and voltage |
| High noise immunity | Typical HNM = 1.2 V at VCC = 5 V - rejects transient coupling on data/clock lines in noisy industrial PCBs |
| ESD protection | HBM > 2000 V, CDM > 1000 V - withstands handling and board assembly without special ESD controls |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Expansion | Microcontroller Bus Interface |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Latching parallel sensor data (e.g., 8-channel analog front-end status flags) into a microcontroller's GPIO port before readout. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Octal D-flip-flop acting as synchronized input register; MR clears stale data on power-up or fault recovery. Use Value: Eliminates metastability risk during asynchronous signal capture; enables deterministic sampling aligned to MCU clock domain. |

Use Value: Provides clean, glitch-free bus separation without requiring dedicated latch enable logic or additional gates. |
| LED Matrix Row Driver Control | Legacy System Data Staging |
Use Scenario: Storing row-select bits for multiplexed 8×8 LED display driven by PWM controller. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Output register staging row enable signals; MR resets display to blank state on startup. Use Value: Ensures zero-initialization of display rows, preventing unintended illumination during boot or reset sequences. |
Use Scenario: Interfacing modern FPGA I/O banks to legacy 74LS-based backplane logic operating at 5 V. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Level-shifting and timing-synchronizing data between 3.3 V FPGA outputs and 5 V TTL inputs.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal D-type flip-flop applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74HCT273PW,118 | TSSOP20 package (SOT360-1); 4.4 mm body width; 0.65 mm pitch; thermal resistance 100 K/W (vs. 115 K/W for SSOP) | Better thermal performance in high-density layouts; requires finer-pitch reflow profile | Select for space-constrained boards needing improved power dissipation margin |
| SN74HCT273N | PDIP20 package (SOT146-1); through-hole mounting; no lead finish restriction; higher parasitic inductance | Suitable for prototyping, educational kits, or legacy wave-soldered assemblies | Select only when manual soldering or socket-based testing is required |
Compared with 74HCT273DB,112, the PW variant offers superior thermal management in compact designs, while the N variant trades miniaturization for mechanical robustness and ease of hand assembly - neither provides functional or timing equivalence beyond core flip-flop behavior.

FAQ
What is the minimum pulse width required on the MR input to guarantee reset?
The MR input requires a minimum LOW pulse width of 16 ns (typical) and 24 ns (maximum) at VCC = 4.5 V to ensure reliable asynchronous reset across all eight flip-flops. This value is specified in Table 7 under tW for MR input, and applies across the full -40 °C to +125 °C operating range. Pulse widths shorter than 16 ns may result in incomplete or metastable reset behavior.
Can 74HCT273DB,112 operate at 3.3 V supply?
No. The 74HCT273DB,112 is not characterized or guaranteed for operation at 3.3 V. Its recommended operating conditions specify VCC = 4.5 V to 5.5 V only (Table 5). At 3.3 V, input thresholds (VIH/VIL) fall outside TTL specification, and propagation delay increases significantly - potentially exceeding 100 ns - making timing closure unreliable. Use 74LVC273 or 74AUP273 for 3.3 V applications.
Is the SOT339-1 package RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes. The 74HCT273DB,112 in SOT339-1 package is manufactured with 100 % matte tin (Sn) lead finish and fully complies with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and China RoHS. Lead content is below 0.1 wt%, and all homogeneous materials meet Annex II substance restrictions. Full compliance documentation is available via Nexperia's product change notifications.
How does the CPD value of 23 pF affect power consumption?
The 23 pF CPD value directly determines dynamic power dissipation using PD = CPD × VCC² × fi, where fi is input toggle frequency. At VCC = 5 V and fi = 10 MHz, dynamic power is ≈ 5.75 mW. This excludes static ICC (≤160 μA at +125 °C), so total power remains under 6 mW - enabling use in thermally constrained spaces without forced cooling or derating.
