Product details
Overview
74LV273N,112 from Philips Semiconductors is an octal D-type positive-edge-triggered flip-flop with synchronous common clock (CP) and active-low master reset (MR), operating from 1.0 V to 5.5 V supply, delivering 110 MHz max clock frequency at VCC = 3.3 V, 12–13 ns propagation delay (CP→Qn), and standard-output drive capability - used for parallel data latching in low-voltage microprocessor bus interfaces and memory address registration.
For engineers reviewing the 74LV273N,112 datasheet, 74LV273N,112 pinout, 74LV273N,112 application, or 74LV273N,112 equivalent, key selection criteria include its wide VCC range (1.0–5.5 V), TTL-input compatibility at 2.7–3.6 V, guaranteed operation down to 1.2 V, low ground bounce (0.8 V typical @ 3.3 V), and pin/function compatibility with 74HC/HCT273 for legacy system upgrades.
Technical Context
The 74LV273N,112 implements eight independent edge-triggered D flip-flops sharing a single LOW-to-HIGH clock transition (CP) and a common active-LOW asynchronous master reset (MR). All Q outputs are forced LOW regardless of CP or D inputs when MR is asserted.
Its Si-gate CMOS architecture supports mixed-voltage interfacing: inputs accept TTL levels at VCC = 2.7–3.6 V, while output VOH/VOL meet standard logic thresholds across 1.2–5.5 V, enabling direct connection to 3.3 V or 5 V systems without level shifters.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 1.0 V to 5.5 V - enables single-supply operation in battery-powered, mixed-voltage, and legacy 5 V systems |
| Max Clock Frequency | 110 MHz @ VCC = 3.3 V - supports high-speed data capture in microprocessor address/data latching |
| Propagation Delay (CP→Qn) | 12 ns (tPHL), 13 ns (tPLH) @ CL = 15 pF, VCC = 3.3 V - ensures tight timing margins in synchronous control paths |
| Input Voltage Compatibility | TTL-level inputs accepted at VCC = 2.7–3.6 V - allows direct interface with 5 V TTL outputs without external translators |
| Output Drive | Standard outputs: ±25 mA sink/source @ VCC = 3.0 V - drives multiple CMOS/TTL loads without buffering |
| Set-up Time (Dn→CP) | 13 ns @ VCC = 3.0–3.6 V - defines minimum data stability window before clock edge for reliable sampling |
| Hold Time (Dn→CP) | 5 ns @ VCC = 3.0–3.6 V - constrains maximum allowable data change after clock edge to prevent metastability |
Pinout & Package
74LV273N,112 is supplied in a 20-pin plastic dual in-line package (DIP), SOT146-1 footprint, with 300-mil body width and through-hole mounting. Pin 10 is GND, pin 20 is VCC, and all pins conform to JEDEC MS-001 standard dimensions.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | MR | Active-LOW asynchronous master reset - forces all Q outputs LOW independently of clock or data |
| 2,5,6,9,12,15,16,19 | Q0–Q7 | True (non-inverted) flip-flop outputs - provide registered parallel data for bus hold or address staging |
| 3,4,7,8,13,14,17,18 | D0–D7 | Data inputs - sampled on LOW-to-HIGH CP transition; require stable setup/hold timing |
| 10 | GND | Ground reference - must be low-impedance return path for all internal switching currents |
| 11 | CP | Positive-edge-triggered clock input - synchronizes loading of all eight D inputs to corresponding Q outputs |
| 20 | VCC | Positive supply - powers internal logic and output drivers; decoupling capacitor required near pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide VCC range (1.0–5.5 V) | Supports direct integration into 1.2 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V systems without voltage translation |
| TTL-input compatibility | Accepts standard 5 V TTL logic levels at VCC = 2.7–3.6 V - eliminates need for external level-shifting circuitry |
| Low ground bounce (VOLP) | 0.8 V typical @ VCC = 3.3 V - reduces noise coupling into adjacent signal lines and power rails |
| Common clock & reset | Single CP and MR control all eight flip-flops - simplifies timing control and reduces PCB routing complexity |
| Pin/function compatibility with 74HC/HCT273 | Enables drop-in replacement in existing designs using higher-voltage families - no layout changes required |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74HC273PW,118 | Higher VCC min (2.0 V), slower max fmax (60 MHz @ 4.5 V), higher ICC (160 µA vs. 20 µA @ 5.5 V) | Not suitable for sub-2.0 V operation; less efficient in battery-powered systems | Select when only 5 V operation is needed and lower quiescent current is not critical |
| SN74LV273APWR | Same LV family specs, identical pinout, but TI-marked; slightly tighter AC limits (tPLH/tPHL ≤12 ns @ 3.3 V) | No functional difference; qualified for automotive AEC-Q100 Grade 2 (–40°C to +105°C) | Prefer for automotive-grade designs requiring extended temperature validation and TI supply chain assurance |
Compared with 74HC273PW,118 and SN74LV273APWR, the 74LV273N,112 uniquely supports 1.0 V operation and delivers lowest ICC in the LV family - making it optimal for ultra-low-power embedded controllers where supply headroom and standby current are constrained.

FAQ
What is the minimum supply voltage at which 74LV273N,112 guarantees functional operation?
The 74LV273N,112 guarantees functional operation down to VCC = 1.0 V when inputs are driven to GND or VCC, and DC characteristics are fully specified from VCC = 1.2 V to 5.5 V. This makes the 74LV273N,112 suitable for battery-backed or energy-harvesting systems where supply voltage may dip below 1.2 V during brownout conditions while retaining basic logic functionality.
Does 74LV273N,112 support TTL-level inputs when powered from 3.3 V?
Yes - the 74LV273N,112 explicitly accepts TTL input levels when VCC is between 2.7 V and 3.6 V, meaning a 5 V TTL HIGH (≥2.0 V) is recognized as valid VIH and a 5 V TTL LOW (≤0.8 V) as valid VIL. This allows direct connection to legacy 5 V microcontrollers or peripherals without level-shifting components, preserving signal integrity and reducing BOM cost.
What is the function of pin 1 (MR) on the 74LV273N,112, and how does it interact with the clock?
Pin 1 is the Master Reset (MR) input, active-LOW and asynchronous - asserting MR LOW forces all Q0–Q7 outputs LOW immediately, regardless of CP state or D input values. The 74LV273N,112 does not require CP to be active for MR to take effect, and MR overrides all clock-triggered behavior, making it ideal for system-wide initialization or fault recovery sequences.
Is 74LV273N,112 pin-compatible with the 74HC273 family?
Yes - the 74LV273N,112 is pin and function compatible with the 74HC/HCT273 devices, sharing identical pin configuration, logic behavior, and package outline (SOT146-1 for DIP). This allows direct substitution in existing 74HC273-based designs when upgrading to lower supply voltages or reduced power consumption, with no PCB or firmware changes required.
What thermal derating applies to 74LV273N,112 in its plastic DIP package?
In its plastic DIP (SOT146-1) package, the 74LV273N,112 has a maximum power dissipation of 750 mW at ambient temperatures up to +70°C; above +70°C, power must be linearly derated at 12 mW/K. This derating ensures safe junction temperature operation across the full –40°C to +125°C industrial range, especially under sustained high-frequency switching or heavy capacitive loading.
