Product details
Overview
74LVX174M from Fairchild Semiconductor is a low-voltage, hex D-type flip-flop with master reset, designed as a 6-bit edge-triggered storage register. It operates from 2.0V to 3.6V, features simultaneous asynchronous reset (MR), and transfers data on the LOW-to-HIGH clock transition. Used in digital control logic, state machines, and data latching for industrial microcontroller interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the 74LVX174M datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its 3.3V-compatible input voltage translation (0–5.5V inputs), guaranteed tPLH/tPHL ≤ 11.5 ns at 3.3V, master reset synchronization, and SOIC-16 package compatibility with legacy 74-series board layouts.
Technical Context
The 74LVX174M implements six independent positive-edge-triggered D flip-flops sharing a common clock (CP) and active-low master reset (MR). All outputs (Q0–Q5) update synchronously on the rising edge of CP when MR is HIGH; all outputs force LOW when MR is LOW, regardless of CP state.
It supports mixed-voltage interfacing: inputs tolerate up to 5.5V while operating from a 2.0–3.6V VCC rail, enabling direct connection to 5V logic without level shifters. Its noise immunity is characterized by specified VOLP/VOLV (±0.5V dynamic output swing) and VIHD/VILD (2.0V/0.8V dynamic input thresholds) at 3.3V with 50 pF load.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.0V to 3.6V - Enables operation in 3.3V systems with margin for supply variation. |
| Input Voltage Range | 0V to 5.5V - Allows direct interfacing with 5V TTL/CMOS logic without external level shifters. |
| tPLH / tPHL (max) | 11.5 ns at VCC = 3.3V, CL = 15 pF - Supports >85 MHz reliable operation in synchronous control paths. |
| fMAX | 115 MHz typical at 3.3V - Sufficient for high-speed register staging in FPGA I/O bridging or microcontroller peripheral buffering. |
| ICC (max) | 40 µA at VCC = 3.6V - Ultra-low static power ideal for battery-backed or always-on logic subsystems. |
| Output Drive | ±4 mA at VCC = 3.3V - Drives standard CMOS loads (10–15 pF) with clean edges and minimal overshoot. |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +85°C - Qualified for industrial temperature environments without derating. |
Pinout & Package
74LVX174M is housed in a 16-lead Small Outline Integrated Circuit (SOIC) package per JEDEC MS-012, 0.150" narrow body (Package Number M16A), with standard 1.27 mm pitch and gull-wing leads.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (D0) | Data Input 0 | Asynchronous data source for first flip-flop; sampled on next CP rising edge if MR is HIGH. |
| 2 (D1) | Data Input 1 | Independent data input for second flip-flop; no internal coupling to D0 or other D inputs. |
| 3 (D2) | Data Input 2 | One of six dedicated D inputs; each maps 1:1 to corresponding Q output. |
| 4 (D3) | Data Input 3 | Supports parallel 6-bit data capture; all D inputs must be stable before CP edge per tS/tH timing. |
| 5 (D4) | Data Input 4 | Valid during MR HIGH only; ignored when MR is LOW (outputs forced LOW regardless). |
| 6 (D5) | Data Input 5 | Final bit of 6-bit register; enables full byte-latch capability when used with external bus control. |
| 7 (GND) | Ground Reference | Primary return path for all I/O and internal logic; requires low-impedance PCB plane connection. |
| 8 (Q5) | Output 5 | Inverted only if external inversion applied; true-level output reflecting stored D5 value after CP edge. |
| 9 (Q4) | Output 4 | Non-inverting registered output; synchronized to CP and gated by MR status. |
| 10 (Q3) | Output 3 | Provides deterministic timing: tPLH/tPHL measured from CP edge to Qn valid transition. |
| 11 (Q2) | Output 2 | Shares same propagation delay spec as Q0–Q5; output-to-output skew ≤1.5 ns ensures tight timing alignment. |
| 12 (Q1) | Output 1 | Used for feedback or status monitoring; output loading affects tPLH/tPHL per CL specification. |
| 13 (Q0) | Output 0 | First bit of 6-bit latch; matches D0 after one CP cycle (when MR = HIGH). |
| 14 (CP) | Clock Pulse Input | Positive-edge sensitive; internal Schmitt trigger not present - requires monotonic rise/fall per ∆t/∆V spec. |
| 15 (MR) | Master Reset Input | Active-LOW asynchronous reset; forces all Qn = LOW immediately, overriding CP and D inputs. |
| 16 (VCC) | Supply Voltage | Must be decoupled locally with 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor; ripple < 50 mV peak-to-peak required for noise margin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Input voltage translation | Accepts 0–5.5V inputs while powered from 2.0–3.6V VCC - eliminates external level shifters in mixed-voltage systems. |
| Simultaneous master reset | Single MR pin asynchronously clears all six Q outputs to LOW - simplifies system initialization and fault recovery. |
| Low dynamic noise | Guaranteed VOLP/VOLV (±0.5V) and VIHD/VILD (2.0V/0.8V) at 3.3V/50 pF - ensures robust noise immunity in dense PCB layouts. |
| High-speed 3.3V operation | fMAX = 115 MHz typical, tPLH/tPHL ≤ 11.5 ns - meets timing closure for fast control-state sequencing in PLC modules. |
| Industrial temperature range | Specified from −40°C to +85°C - supports deployment in uncontrolled enclosures, motor drives, and remote sensors. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar hex D-type flip-flop with master reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC174APWR | 3.3V-only inputs (0–3.6V), no 5V-tolerant inputs; slightly faster tPLH (7.5 ns typ); same SOIC-16 footprint. | Requires external level shifting for 5V signal sources; better suited for pure 3.3V systems with tighter timing budgets. | Select when system uses only 3.3V logic and needs marginal speed improvement; avoid if interfacing legacy 5V peripherals. |
| 74AHC174PW | Wider VCC range (2.0–5.5V); 5V-tolerant inputs only when VCC = 5V; higher ICC (100 µA max); TSSOP-16 package only. | Not pin-compatible with 74LVX174M SOIC layout; requires PCB redesign; supports direct 5V operation but lacks 3.3V-input-with-5V-sources capability. | Choose for 5V-native designs needing higher drive strength; not drop-in for existing 74LVX174M SOIC footprints. |
Compared with SN74LVC174APWR and 74AHC174PW, the 74LVX174M uniquely combines 5V-tolerant inputs with 3.3V supply operation and SOIC-16 packaging - making it optimal for retrofitting 5V legacy systems onto modern low-voltage rails without layout changes.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the 74LVX174M?
The 74LVX174M supports a maximum clock frequency of 115 MHz typical and 95 MHz minimum over the full −40°C to +85°C temperature range at VCC = 3.3V ± 0.3V. This is derived from AC Electrical Characteristics table values for fMAX under recommended operating conditions, validated with 15 pF load. The 74LVX174M achieves this performance while maintaining guaranteed setup/hold and propagation delay margins essential for reliable state machine operation.
Does the 74LVX174M support 5V logic inputs while operating from a 3.3V supply?
Yes, the 74LVX174M supports input voltages from 0V to 5.5V independent of VCC, which can be as low as 2.0V. This 5V-tolerant input capability is explicitly specified in the Recommended Operating Conditions table and enables direct connection to 5V TTL or CMOS outputs without level-shifting circuitry. The 74LVX174M maintains correct logic interpretation and noise margins across this range when VCC is set to 3.3V.
What is the function of the Master Reset (MR) pin on the 74LVX174M?
The MR pin on the 74LVX174M is an active-LOW asynchronous reset that forces all six Q outputs (Q0–Q5) to LOW regardless of clock or data input states. Its removal time (tREC = 3.0 ns min at 3.3V) ensures rapid, deterministic clearing of the register. Unlike clock-synchronous resets, MR overrides all internal timing - making the 74LVX174M suitable for fail-safe initialization and emergency shutdown sequences in industrial control hardware.
Is the 74LVX174M pin-compatible with standard 74LS174 or 74HC174 devices?
The 74LVX174M shares identical pinout (D0–D5, CP, MR, Q0–Q5, VCC, GND) and SOIC-16 package (M16A) with 74LS174 and 74HC174, but voltage and timing behavior differ significantly. While physical replacement is possible, the 74LVX174M requires 2.0–3.6V VCC and offers 5V-tolerant inputs - unlike 74LS174 (5V-only) or 74HC174 (3–6V with no 5V tolerance). System validation is required before substitution.
What decoupling capacitance is recommended for stable operation of the 74LVX174M?
A minimum 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor placed as close as possible to the 74LVX174M VCC and GND pins is required for stable operation. This mitigates switching noise and maintains supply integrity during simultaneous output transitions. For systems with high di/dt or multiple 74LVX174M devices, adding a bulk 4.7 µF tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitor nearby further suppresses low-frequency ripple. The 74LVX174M's low ICC (40 µA max) reduces average current demand but does not eliminate need for local high-frequency decoupling.
