Product details
Overview
74LVX273TTR from STMicroelectronics is a low-voltage CMOS octal D-type flip-flop with asynchronous clear, designed for 3.3V logic systems requiring 5V-tolerant inputs, 150 MHz max clock frequency (typ.), 4 µA max quiescent current, and symmetrical 4 mA output drive. It serves as a synchronous data latch in bus interface and control register applications.
For engineers reviewing the 74LVX273TTR datasheet, 74LVX273TTR pinout, 74LVX273TTR application, or 74LVX273TTR equivalent, key selection criteria include 2V–3.6V operating range, 0.8V/2.0V input thresholds, balanced tPLH/tPHL propagation delays, and TSSOP-20 package compatibility with legacy 74-series footprint.
Technical Context
This device implements eight edge-triggered D flip-flops sharing a common clock and asynchronous active-low clear. Each stage transfers D-input data to Q-output on the rising edge of CLOCK, with CLEAR overriding all other inputs to force Q outputs low regardless of clock or data state.
Input protection enables safe operation with 0–7V input voltages independent of VCC, supporting 5V-to-3.3V level translation. The sub-micron C2MOS process delivers low noise (0.3V typical VOLP), high latch-up immunity, and 2 kV ESD protection on all I/O pins.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Operating Voltage | 2.0–3.6 V - Enables direct use in 3.3V systems with 1.2V data retention during power-down |
| Max Clock Frequency | 150 MHz (typ.) at VCC = 3.3V - Supports high-speed synchronous latching in timing-critical control paths |
| Input Voltage Range | 0–5.5 V - Allows interfacing with 5V logic without external level shifters |
| Output Drive | ±4 mA (min) at VCC = 3.0V - Ensures robust fan-out to multiple CMOS loads under worst-case conditions |
| Quiescent Current | 4 µA (max) at TA = 25°C - Critical for battery-powered and ultra-low-power standby modes |
| Propagation Delay | 7.1 ns (tPLH, typ.) at VCC = 3.3V, CL = 15 pF - Guarantees tight timing margins in high-frequency register chains |
| Input Thresholds | VIL = 0.8 V, VIH = 2.0 V at VCC = 3.0V - Provides 0.7V noise margin for reliable switching in noisy environments |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-20 package: 6.5 mm × 4.4 mm body, 0.65 mm pitch, 1.05 mm max height, lead-free and RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | CLEAR | Asynchronous active-low reset - forces all Q outputs low immediately, independent of clock or data |
| 2,5,6,9,12,15,16,19 | Q0–Q7 | Registered outputs - retain last clocked D-input value until next rising clock edge or CLEAR assertion |
| 3,4,7,8,13,14,17,18 | D0–D7 | Data inputs - sampled on rising edge of CLOCK; 5V-tolerant with no external clamping required |
| 11 | CLOCK | Positive-edge-triggered clock - initiates synchronous transfer of Dn to Qn only on rising transition |
| 10 | GND | Ground reference - must be connected to system 0V plane for stable logic thresholds and noise immunity |
| 20 | VCC | Positive supply - powers internal logic; accepts 2.0–3.6V with full functionality and 1.2V data retention |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 5V-tolerant inputs | Accepts 0–5.5V signals with no damage or functional degradation, enabling mixed-voltage board design |
| Power-down input protection | Inputs remain safe up to 7V even when VCC = 0V - prevents back-powering and latch-up during hot-insertion |
| Symmetrical output drive | |IOH| = IOL = 4 mA (min) ensures matched rise/fall times and reduces signal skew across Q outputs |
| Balanced propagation delays | tPLH ≅ tPHL minimizes duty-cycle distortion in clocked feedback paths and timing-critical state machines |
| ESD immunity | 2 kV HBM rating on all pins - eliminates need for external transient suppression in industrial control interfaces |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Modules | Automotive Body Control Units |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC273PWR | Lower max fMAX (110 MHz), higher ICC (10 µA), same TSSOP-20 footprint | Optimized for 1.65–3.6V operation but lacks 5V input tolerance | Select when strict 3.3V-only interface is used and cost sensitivity outweighs voltage flexibility |
| 74ALVC273MTCX | Higher speed (200 MHz), tighter skew (0.3 ns), but requires 2.3–3.6V and has no 5V-tolerant inputs | Targeted at high-performance FPGA glue logic where timing closure is critical | Choose for sub-ns skew requirements in test equipment or high-speed instrumentation |
Compared with SN74LVC273PWR and 74ALVC273MTCX, the 74LVX273TTR uniquely supports 5V input tolerance and 2V minimum VCC, making it the only option for mixed-voltage industrial interfaces requiring both ultra-low ICC and robust level translation.

FAQ
Is the 74LVX273TTR pin-compatible with standard 74HC273 or 74LS273?
Yes - the 74LVX273TTR maintains identical pinout and logic function with the 74-series 273 family, including CLEAR, CLOCK, D0–D7, and Q0–Q7 assignments. However, its 2.0–3.6V operating range and 5V-tolerant inputs differ electrically from 5V-only HC/LS variants, requiring voltage domain verification in mixed designs.
What is the minimum VCC required to retain valid Q-output states?
The 74LVX273TTR retains stored data down to 1.2V VCC, as specified in the Recommended Operating Conditions table. Below this threshold, output states become undefined; however, the device remains undamaged and resumes normal operation upon VCC restoration above 2.0V.
Can the CLEAR input be driven by a 5V signal while VCC = 3.3V?
Yes - the CLEAR input is 5V-tolerant and accepts 0–5.5V signals regardless of VCC level. When VCC = 3.3V, a 5V CLEAR signal will correctly assert the asynchronous reset function without damaging the device or requiring external resistors or clamps.
Does the 74LVX273TTR support hot-swap or live-insertion scenarios?
Yes - its power-down protection allows all inputs to safely accept 0–7V signals even when VCC = 0V, preventing back-powering and latch-up during hot-plug events. This makes it suitable for modular backplanes and field-replaceable I/O cards where connectors mate before power is applied.
