Product details
Overview
74HCT273PW,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 control and interface circuits. It operates from 4.5 V to 5.5 V, delivers 15 ns typical propagation delay at 4.5 V/50 pF, supports -40 °C to +125 °C industrial temperature range, and features TTL-compatible inputs for seamless integration with legacy logic systems.
For engineers reviewing the 74HCT273PW,112 datasheet, 74HCT273PW,112 pinout, 74HCT273PW,112 application, or 74HCT273PW,112 equivalent, this device is selected for precise edge-triggered state capture in microcontroller I/O expansion, LED matrix drivers, and industrial PLC input staging where deterministic timing, noise immunity, and robust reset behavior are required.
Technical Context
The 74HCT273PW,112 implements eight independent D-type flip-flops sharing a common clock (CP) and active-low master reset (MR). Each flip-flop captures the logic level present on its Dn input on the LOW-to-HIGH transition of CP, provided setup (12 ns min at 4.5 V) and hold (3 ns min) timing constraints 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 when used with current-limiting resistors.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - Ensures compatibility with 5 V TTL and mixed-voltage systems without level shifters. |
| Propagation Delay (CP→Qn) | 16 ns (typ) / 45 ns (max) at 4.5 V, 50 pF - Defines maximum clock-to-output timing uncertainty in synchronous pipelines. |
| Set-up Time (Dn→CP) | 12 ns (min) at 4.5 V - Specifies minimum stable data window before clock edge for reliable sampling. |
| Hold Time (Dn→CP) | 3 ns (min) at 4.5 V - Determines minimum data stability duration after clock edge to prevent metastability. |
| Output Drive Strength | ±4.0 mA (VOH/VOL) at VCC = 4.5 V - Sufficient to drive standard TTL loads or multiple 74-series inputs directly. |
| Input Compatibility | TTL-level - Accepts 2.0 V (VIH min) and 0.8 V (VIL max) thresholds, enabling direct connection to 5 V microcontrollers and legacy logic. |
| Operating Temperature | -40 °C to +125 °C - Qualified for under-hood automotive modules, industrial motor drives, and high-ambient embedded controllers. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP20 plastic thin shrink small outline package (SOT360-1); 20-lead, 4.4 mm body width, 0.65 mm pitch; lead-free and RoHS compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (MR) | Master Reset input | Asynchronous active-LOW signal forcing all Qn outputs LOW; overrides clock and data, critical for system initialization and fault recovery. |
| 2 (VCC) | Positive supply | Primary power rail (4.5–5.5 V); decoupling capacitor placement near this pin minimizes switching noise coupling into logic paths. |
| 3–4, 7–8, 13–14, 17–18 (D0–D7) | Data inputs | Eight independent parallel data lines sampled on CP rising edge; each requires individual setup/hold compliance for deterministic latching. |
| 5, 6, 9, 12, 15, 16, 19 (Q0–Q7) | Flip-flop outputs | Eight buffered, non-inverted latched outputs; fan-out limited by ±4.0 mA drive capability and capacitive load (CL ≤ 50 pF typical). |
| 10 (GND) | Ground reference | 0 V return path for all internal circuitry and output currents; must be low-impedance and tied to system ground plane. |
| 11 (CP) | Clock input | Edge-sensitive input triggering simultaneous capture across all eight flip-flops; requires clean, monotonic rising edge with <20 ns rise time. |
| 20 (VCC) | Positive supply (duplicate) | Second VCC connection improves power distribution integrity and reduces supply bounce during simultaneous output transitions. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| TTL-compatible input thresholds | VIH = 2.0 V (min), VIL = 0.8 V (max) at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V - Eliminates need for external level translators when interfacing with 5 V MCUs or legacy logic families. |
| High noise immunity | Typical 400 mV noise margin at VCC = 5 V - Ensures reliable operation in electrically noisy industrial environments with EFT and burst interference. |
| ESD protection | HBM > 2000 V, CDM > 1000 V - Reduces risk of handling damage during PCB assembly and field service without requiring special ESD protocols. |
| Latch-up immunity | Exceeds 100 mA per JESD78 Class II Level B - Prevents destructive parasitic SCR conduction during transient overvoltage events on I/O pins. |
| Wide temperature operation | -40 °C to +125 °C - Enables use in under-dash automotive ECUs, outdoor telecom equipment, and high-power industrial inverters. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74HCT273PWR (TI) | Identical logic function, same TSSOP-20 package, but specified only to +85 °C (not +125 °C); higher ICC (160 μA max vs. 80 μA) | Not suitable for under-hood automotive or high-ambient industrial enclosures requiring full -40 °C to +125 °C operation | Select if cost sensitivity outweighs extended temperature need and ambient stays below 85 °C. |
| 74HCT374PW,118 (Nexperia) | Octal D-type latch (transparent) instead of edge-triggered flip-flop; identical pinout but CP functions as enable, not clock | Cannot replace 74HCT273PW,112 in edge-sensitive sampling applications; suited for bus-hold or gated data pass-through | Choose only when synchronous latching is unnecessary and data transparency during enable is required. |
Compared with SN74HCT273PWR, the 74HCT273PW,112 offers guaranteed +125 °C operation and lower quiescent current-critical for thermally constrained automotive modules. Against 74HCT374PW,118, it provides true edge-triggered behavior essential for clock-domain crossing and deterministic state capture.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the 74HCT273PW,112?
The 74HCT273PW,112 supports a maximum clock frequency of 30 MHz at VCC = 4.5 V and CL = 50 pF, based on its 16 ns typical propagation delay and 12 ns minimum setup time. At 5.0 V and reduced load (CL = 15 pF), operation up to 36 MHz is achievable per datasheet Table 7.
Can the 74HCT273PW,112 be used with a 3.3 V microcontroller?
No-the 74HCT273PW,112 requires 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply and has TTL-level inputs (VIH min = 2.0 V), making it incompatible with direct 3.3 V logic interfacing. A level-shifter or 74LVC273 variant is required for 3.3 V systems.
Is the master reset (MR) input synchronous or asynchronous?
The MR input is asynchronous and active LOW: asserting MR immediately forces all Qn outputs LOW within 23 ns (max at 4.5 V), independent of the CP signal or Dn states. This enables immediate system-wide reset without waiting for the next clock edge.
Does the 74HCT273PW,112 require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on unused inputs?
No-unused Dn or CP inputs should be tied HIGH or LOW via direct connection to VCC or GND. The device includes internal clamp diodes and does not require external biasing; floating inputs may cause increased ICC and unpredictable output states due to noise susceptibility.
