Product details
Overview
74LS174FP-E from Renesas Electronics is a hex D-type positive-edge-triggered flip-flop with asynchronous clear, implemented in TTL logic. It features six independent D-inputs, six Q-outputs, shared clock and clear inputs, operates at 5 V supply, supports up to 30 MHz clock frequency, and is housed in a 16-pin SOP package (JEITA standard FP-16DAV). It is used in digital control logic, register storage, and synchronous data latching in industrial instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the 74LS174FP-E datasheet, 74LS174FP-E pinout, 74LS174FP-E application, or 74LS174FP-E equivalent, key selection considerations include its 30 MHz maximum clock rate, 20 ns minimum clock pulse width, 25 ns clear setup time, 5 ns data hold time, and compatibility with standard LS-TTL input/output voltage thresholds.
Technical Context
This device implements six edge-triggered storage elements sharing a common clock and asynchronous clear line. Each flip-flop transfers the D-input state to its Q-output on the rising edge of the clock signal, provided setup and hold timing requirements are met. The clear function forces all Q-outputs low independently of the clock.
It uses bipolar TTL circuitry with guaranteed operation across –20°C to +75°C, 4.75–5.25 V supply, and meets standard LS-TTL DC electrical specifications: VIH ≥ 2.0 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VOH ≥ 2.7 V (at –400 µA), VOL ≤ 0.4 V (at 8 mA).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Family | 74LS (Low-power Schottky TTL) - ensures compatibility with legacy TTL systems and predictable noise margins. |
| Function | Hex D-type flip-flop with asynchronous clear - provides six independent storage bits for synchronous register applications. |
| Max Clock Frequency | 30 MHz - supports high-speed digital control loops and data capture in mid-frequency logic designs. |
| Propagation Delay | tPLH/tPHL ≤ 30 ns - enables reliable timing closure in multi-stage synchronous circuits with 15 pF load. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.75 V to 5.25 V - requires stable 5 V rail; not tolerant of wider voltage swings or 3.3 V operation. |
| Operating Temperature | –20°C to +75°C - rated for commercial/industrial environments, excluding automotive or extended temperature use. |
| Output Drive | IOL = 8 mA / IOH = –400 µA - sufficient to drive standard TTL loads or multiple 74LS inputs without buffering. |
Pinout & Package
74LS174FP-E is supplied in a 16-pin SOP package conforming to JEITA standard FP-16DAV (Renesas code PRSP0016DH-B), with 1.27 mm pitch, gull-wing leads, and Ni/Pd/Au plating.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Clear (Active-Low) | Asynchronous reset: pulls all six Q outputs low regardless of clock state; must be held high for normal operation. |
| 2–7 | D1–D6 Inputs | Data inputs for each of six flip-flops; sampled on next positive clock edge if setup/hold times met. |
| 8 | GND | Ground reference for all internal circuitry and I/O; required for proper biasing and noise immunity. |
| 9–14 | Q1–Q6 Outputs | True (non-inverted) outputs corresponding to D1–D6; each sourced/sunk per LS-TTL output specs. |
| 15 | Clock (CK) | Positive-edge-triggered clock input; transition from low to high initiates data transfer from D to Q. |
| 16 | VCC | +5 V power supply; must be decoupled locally to suppress switching noise affecting timing stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Positive-edge triggering | Ensures deterministic sampling aligned to clock rise time, eliminating metastability risks from asynchronous data changes. |
| Asynchronous clear | Allows immediate, clock-independent initialization of all six registers-critical for system reset and fault recovery. |
| Standard LS-TTL compatibility | Guarantees interoperability with 74LS-series logic families without level-shifting or interface conditioning. |
| 20 ns minimum clock pulse width | Supports robust operation even with moderate clock skew or jitter in board-level timing budgets. |
| 25 ns clear setup time | Permits reliable assertion of clear before clock edge without requiring tight synchronization to clock domain. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Register Bank | Digital Test Equipment Latch |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar D-type flip-flop applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LS174N | DIP-16 package (not surface-mount); identical electrical specs and pinout except physical form factor. | Suitable for through-hole prototyping or legacy PCBs; lacks SOP thermal and space advantages. | Select SN74LS174N only when DIP mounting is required; 74LS174FP-E offers better density and reflow compatibility. |
| 74HC174PW | CMOS family (74HC), 2–6 V supply range, higher speed (up to 90 MHz), but incompatible input thresholds and lower drive strength (IOL = 4 mA). | Requires level-shifting or redesign when replacing 74LS174FP-E in existing TTL systems. | Choose 74HC174PW only for new low-voltage or high-speed designs; not a drop-in replacement due to voltage and drive mismatch. |
Compared with SN74LS174N, 74LS174FP-E offers surface-mount reliability and smaller footprint; compared with 74HC174PW, it maintains full LS-TTL compatibility but trades off speed and supply flexibility for proven interoperability in legacy 5 V systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the 74LS174FP-E?
The 74LS174FP-E is specified for operation from –20°C to +75°C, as confirmed in the Recommended Operating Conditions table of the Renesas HD74LS174 datasheet (Rev. 3.00, Jul. 2005). This range qualifies it for commercial and general industrial applications but excludes automotive or extended-temperature deployments. Operation outside this range may result in timing violations or functional failure.
Does the 74LS174FP-E support 3.3 V logic interfacing?
No, the 74LS174FP-E does not support 3.3 V logic interfacing. Its absolute minimum supply voltage is 4.75 V, and its input thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.0 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V) and output drive levels are defined strictly for 5 V TTL operation. Connecting it directly to 3.3 V logic may cause unreliable switching or excessive current draw. Level-shifting circuitry is required for mixed-voltage systems.
Is the 74LS174FP-E pin-compatible with the SN74LS174N?
Yes, the 74LS174FP-E is electrically and functionally pin-compatible with the SN74LS174N. Both share identical pin assignments, logic behavior, and DC/AC electrical specifications. The sole difference is package type: 74LS174FP-E uses SOP-16 (FP-16DAV), while SN74LS174N uses DIP-16 (DP-16FV). No PCB layout change is needed beyond adapting for surface-mount vs. through-hole mounting.
What is the minimum required clock pulse width for reliable operation of the 74LS174FP-E?
The minimum clock pulse width for reliable operation of the 74LS174FP-E is 20 ns, as specified in the Recommended Operating Conditions table. This applies to both high- and low-time duration of the clock signal. Violating this specification risks incomplete internal state transitions and metastable output behavior, especially under worst-case temperature and voltage conditions.
Can the 74LS174FP-E be used without connecting the clear pin?
Yes, the 74LS174FP-E can be used with the clear pin (Pin 1) left unconnected only if it is externally held high (e.g., via pull-up resistor to VCC), since clear is active-low. Leaving Pin 1 floating risks unintended resets due to noise coupling. Renesas recommends tying Pin 1 to VCC through a 10 kΩ resistor for robust operation unless active reset control is required.
