Product details
Overview
74HCT74PW,118 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 = 5 V), 14-lead TSSOP package (SOT402-1), and operation over -40 °C to +125 °C. It functions as a synchronous storage element in digital control logic, clock domain synchronization, and state machine sequencing.
For engineers reviewing the 74HCT74PW,118 datasheet, 74HCT74PW,118 pinout, 74HCT74PW,118 application, or 74HCT74PW,118 equivalent, this device is selected for edge-triggered data latching in industrial PLC I/O modules, automotive body control units requiring TTL-level compatibility, and low-power embedded sequencers where propagation delay (tpd = 18 ns typ at VCC = 4.5 V, CL = 50 pF) and rail-to-rail output swing are critical.
Technical Context
The 74HCT74PW,118 implements two independent D-type flip-flops sharing no internal coupling-each with dedicated nD, nCP, nSD, nRD, nQ, and nQ terminals. Its TTL-compatible inputs accept standard 5 V logic levels while operating from a 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply, enabling direct interfacing with legacy microcontrollers and bus drivers without level translation.
Schmitt-trigger action on the clock input (nCP) ensures robust triggering under slow-rising or noisy clock edges, and internal clamp diodes allow safe interface to voltages exceeding VCC when used with current-limiting resistors-critical in mixed-voltage system backplane designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - Ensures compatibility with standard 5 V TTL systems and stable operation across industrial temperature range. |
| Propagation Delay (tpd) | 18 ns typical (VCC = 4.5 V, CL = 50 pF) - Enables reliable operation up to 22 MHz maximum clock frequency in synchronous logic chains. |
| Input Thresholds | VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max - Guarantees unambiguous recognition of TTL logic levels without external biasing. |
| Output Drive | ±4 mA (VOH/VOL at VCC = 4.5 V) - Sufficient to drive 10 LS-TTL loads or directly interface with 74ALVC/74LVC series inputs. |
| Operating Temperature | -40 °C to +125 °C - Qualified for under-hood automotive ECUs and industrial motor drives with extended thermal cycling. |
| Power Dissipation | 80 μA ICC max (VCC = 5.5 V, static) - Supports low-quiescent-current battery-backed control circuits and sleep-mode retention. |
| ESD Robustness | HBM > 2000 V, CDM > 1000 V - Reduces risk of field failure during automated PCB assembly and handling in high-volume manufacturing. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP14 plastic thin shrink small outline package (SOT402-1); 14 leads; body width 4.4 mm; 0.65 mm lead pitch; exposed pad not present; RoHS-compliant; moisture sensitivity level MSL3.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (1RD) | Asynchronous reset (active LOW) | Forces nQ = LOW regardless of clock or data; overrides all other inputs for immediate state clearing. |
| 2 (1D) | Data input (flip-flop 1) | Samples and stores logic level on rising edge of 1CP; requires 15 ns setup and 3 ns hold time at VCC = 4.5 V. |
| 3 (1CP) | Clock input (flip-flop 1) | Positive-edge-triggered; Schmitt-triggered for noise immunity; minimum pulse width 23 ns HIGH, 20 ns LOW. |
| 4 (1SD) | Asynchronous set (active LOW) | Forces nQ = HIGH regardless of clock or data; provides priority override for known initial state. |
| 5 (1Q) | True output (flip-flop 1) | Reflects stored data after clock edge; complements 1Q; drives CMOS/TTL loads with symmetrical rise/fall times. |
| 6 (1Q) | Complement output (flip-flop 1) | Inverted version of 1Q; enables direct implementation of toggle or JK-like behavior without external gates. |
| 7 (GND) | Ground reference | Primary return path for all internal logic and output currents; must be low-impedance for stable timing margins. |
| 8 (2Q) | Complement output (flip-flop 2) | Matches 1Q functionality for second section; allows independent dual-channel storage in single package. |
| 9 (2Q) | True output (flip-flop 2) | Independent of first section; supports parallel data capture or dual-phase clock division applications. |
| 10 (2SD) | Asynchronous set (flip-flop 2) | Set control isolated from flip-flop 1; enables selective initialization of one channel without affecting the other. |
| 11 (2CP) | Clock input (flip-flop 2) | Electrically identical to 1CP; permits independent clocking of each section using separate timing sources. |
| 12 (2D) | Data input (flip-flop 2) | Functionally identical to 1D; supports dual-data-path architectures such as dual-edge sampling or mirrored registers. |
| 13 (2RD) | Asynchronous reset (flip-flop 2) | Independent reset for second section; essential for fault recovery in redundant control subsystems. |
| 14 (VCC) | Supply voltage | Must be decoupled with 100 nF ceramic capacitor near pin; regulates internal bias and output driver strength. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| TTL-compatible input levels | Enables plug-in replacement of legacy 74LS74 without redesigning input conditioning networks or pull-ups. |
| Schmitt-trigger clock input | Accepts clock rise/fall times up to 120 ns (VCC = 2.0 V) without metastability-ideal for RC-generated clocks or noisy environments. |
| Asynchronous set/reset per section | Allows independent initialization or forced state control of each flip-flop-critical for safety-critical watchdog or fail-safe logic. |
| Symmetrical output impedance | Ensures matched rise/fall times (tt = 7 ns typ) and eliminates duty-cycle distortion in clock-dividing configurations. |
| High noise immunity | CMOS input structure with 400 mV typical noise margin at VCC = 5 V reduces susceptibility to crosstalk in dense PCB layouts. |

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 (Texas Instruments) | Same 14-pin SOIC package; identical VIH/VIL specs; 20 ns tpd typ at VCC = 4.5 V; higher ICC (160 μA max). | Preferred for through-hole prototyping or legacy board rework where SOIC footprint is fixed. | Select when existing design uses SOIC-14 and no PCB revision is permitted. |
| 74LVC74ABQ,115 (Nexperia) | 3.3 V only (1.65–3.6 V); LVCMOS inputs; 3.5 ns tpd typ; 14-terminal DHVQFN package (SOT762-1); no 5 V tolerance. | Required for modern low-voltage FPGA/CPU interfaces; incompatible with 5 V buses without level shifters. | Choose for new 3.3 V designs prioritizing speed and board space over 5 V interoperability. |
Compared with SN74HCT74DR, the 74HCT74PW,118 offers superior thermal performance in TSSOP due to lower junction-to-ambient resistance, while 74LVC74ABQ,115 delivers 5× faster switching but sacrifices 5 V system compatibility-making the 74HCT74PW,118 optimal for cost-sensitive, thermally constrained 5 V industrial controls.

FAQ
Can the 74HCT74PW,118 operate at 3.3 V?
No. The 74HCT74PW,118 is specified only for 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply operation. At 3.3 V, input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V min) become marginal, and output drive degrades significantly-potentially causing logic misreads. For 3.3 V systems, use the 74LVC74ABQ,115 instead, which is fully characterized down to 1.65 V.
What is the purpose of the Schmitt-trigger on the clock input?
The Schmitt-trigger on nCP provides hysteresis (typically 0.5 V at VCC = 5 V), allowing reliable edge detection even with slow-rising or electrically noisy clock signals-such as those from RC oscillators or long PCB traces. This prevents multiple triggering and metastability that would occur with a standard CMOS input under similar conditions.
How does the asynchronous reset differ from the synchronous clear function?
The asynchronous reset (nRD) forces nQ LOW immediately upon signal assertion, independent of the clock edge-enabling immediate state clearing for safety or initialization. In contrast, a synchronous clear would require waiting for the next clock edge, introducing up to one full clock period of latency before the reset takes effect.
Is the TSSOP package (SOT402-1) compatible with reflow soldering?
Yes. The 74HCT74PW,118 in TSSOP14 (SOT402-1) is qualified for standard lead-free reflow profiles (J-STD-020, MSL3). Peak temperature must not exceed 260 °C, and time above 217 °C must be limited to 60–150 seconds. Proper thermal profiling is required to avoid solder bridging on the 0.65 mm pitch leads.
