Product details
Overview
74HCT74BQ,115 from Nexperia is a dual positive-edge-triggered D-type flip-flop with independent asynchronous set (nSD) and reset (nRD) inputs, complementary Q/nQ outputs per section, TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V), and operation over -40 °C to +125 °C. It enables synchronous data latching in clock-domain crossing, state retention, and edge-sensitive control logic in industrial PLC I/O modules.
For engineers reviewing the 74HCT74BQ,115 datasheet, 74HCT74BQ,115 pinout, 74HCT74BQ,115 application, or 74HCT74BQ,115 equivalent, this device serves as a robust, temperature-stable, dual-register building block for digital control systems requiring precise timing alignment, metastability mitigation, and noise-immune level translation between TTL and CMOS domains.
Technical Context
The 74HCT74BQ,115 implements two independent D-flip-flops sharing no internal coupling-each with dedicated nD, nCP, nSD, nRD, nQ, and nQ terminals. Its Schmitt-trigger clock input ensures reliable triggering even with slow-rising edges (Δt/ΔV down to 139 ns/V at VCC = 4.5 V), while clamp diodes on all inputs permit safe interfacing to voltages exceeding VCC via current-limiting resistors.
Functionally, it operates strictly on LOW-to-HIGH clock transitions; data at nD is captured only when setup (tsu = 15 ns min at VCC = 4.5 V) and hold (th = 3 ns min) times are met. Asynchronous nSD/nRD override clock action, forcing nQ HIGH or LOW respectively, with recovery time trec = 8 ns min before next valid clock edge.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 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 (tpd) | 18 ns to 53 ns (VCC = 4.5 V, CL = 50 pF) - Determines maximum achievable clock frequency (fmax = 22 MHz min) in synchronous logic chains. |
| Input Thresholds | VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max - Guarantees direct interoperability with legacy 5 V TTL outputs without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Output Drive | ±4 mA (VOH/VOL @ VCC = 4.5 V) - Sufficient to drive multiple 74-series inputs or small capacitive loads (< 50 pF) without fanout degradation. |
| Operating Temperature | -40 °C to +125 °C - Validated for under-hood automotive ECUs, motor drives, and industrial controllers exposed to thermal cycling. |
| Power Dissipation | ICC ≤ 80 μA (static, VCC = 5.5 V) - Enables low-quiescent-power operation in battery-backed or energy-constrained subsystems. |
| ESD Robustness | HBM > 2000 V, CDM > 1000 V - Reduces risk of field failure during PCB handling and system integration in unshielded environments. |
Pinout & Package
DHVQFN14 (SOT762-1) package: 2.5 mm × 3.0 mm × 0.85 mm body, 0.5 mm pitch, 14-terminal leadless construction with exposed thermal pad (non-soldered or GND-connected). Optimized for high-density routing and improved thermal performance over SO14/TSSOP variants.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1RD | Asynchronous reset (active LOW) | Forces 1Q LOW independently of clock; critical for power-on initialization and fault recovery in safety-critical logic. |
| 1D | Data input (Channel 1) | Sampled on rising edge of 1CP; must be stable ≥15 ns before and ≥3 ns after clock transition. |
| 1CP | Clock input (Channel 1) | Schmitt-triggered; accepts slow edges (≥139 ns/V rise/fall); defines timing reference for Channel 1 register. |
| 1SD | Asynchronous set (active LOW) | Forces 1Q HIGH regardless of clock or data; used for preset states in finite-state machines. |
| 1Q / 1Q | True/complement outputs (Channel 1) | Provide differential signaling capability; enable direct connection to downstream logic or bus drivers. |
| GND (Pin 7) | Ground reference | Primary return path for all internal switching currents; requires low-inductance PCB plane connection. |
| VCC (Pin 14) | Supply voltage | Must be decoupled with ≥100 nF ceramic capacitor within 3 mm of pin to suppress supply bounce during output transitions. |
| 2Q / 2Q | True/complement outputs (Channel 2) | Electrically isolated from Channel 1; supports independent clock domains or mirrored signal paths. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| TTL-compatible input levels | Enables direct interface to legacy microcontrollers, FPGAs, and peripheral ICs without external level shifters. |
| Schmitt-trigger clock input | Eliminates need for external RC filtering on noisy clock lines; supports reliable operation with rise/fall times up to 20 ns. |
| Asynchronous set/reset per channel | Allows independent initialization or forced state override-essential for watchdog timers and error-handling circuits. |
| High noise immunity (CMOS design) | Input hysteresis ≥0.4 V and VIH/VIL margins ensure robust operation in electrically noisy industrial enclosures. |
| Thermally enhanced DHVQFN package | 0.85 mm profile and exposed pad reduce junction-to-ambient thermal resistance by ~30% vs. TSSOP14, enabling higher sustained clock rates. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Modules | Automotive Body Control Units |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual D-type flip-flop applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74HCT74DR (TI) | SOIC-14 package; identical electrical specs but larger footprint (8.75 mm × 3.9 mm) and higher thermal resistance. | Limited to space-tolerant designs; unsuitable for compact motor control boards or automotive modules with strict volume constraints. | Select when board real estate is abundant and hand-soldering or legacy reflow profiles are required. |
| 74HCT74PW,118 (Nexperia) | TSSOP-14 package (4.4 mm width); same die but 0.65 mm pitch and 1.2 mm height-lower profile than SOIC but taller than DHVQFN. | Better density than SOIC but inferior thermal performance vs. DHVQFN; not recommended for >25 MHz continuous operation. | Choose for mid-density layouts where thermal load is moderate and JEDEC-standard TSSOP tooling is already deployed. |

FAQ
Is the 74HCT74BQ,115 pin-compatible with the 74HC74BQ variant?
No-the 74HCT74BQ,115 uses TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V min), while the 74HC74BQ requires CMOS-level inputs (VIH = 3.15 V min at VCC = 4.5 V). Swapping them risks logic misreads when driven by 5 V TTL sources, as the HC version may interpret marginal HIGH signals as LOW.
Can the exposed thermal pad on the DHVQFN package be left unconnected?
Yes-the exposed pad (Pin 1 index area) has no electrical function and may remain floating. If soldered, it must connect only to GND or remain isolated; connecting to any other net violates the datasheet's mechanical and thermal specifications and risks latch-up or parametric shift.
What is the minimum clock pulse width required for reliable operation?
The minimum HIGH and LOW clock pulse widths are both 23 ns at VCC = 4.5 V (tW parameter). Violating this-e.g., using sub-20 ns pulses-causes metastability or skipped state transitions, especially under temperature extremes or voltage droop conditions.
Does the 74HCT74BQ,115 support hot-swap or live-insertion?
No-it lacks hot-swap protection circuitry. Applying VCC before GND or sequencing power to VCC/GND out-of-spec (e.g., VCC ramping before GND stabilizes) can cause latch-up or permanent damage due to internal parasitic SCR activation, as confirmed in JESD78 Class II Level B testing.
