Product details
Overview
CD54HCT174F from Texas Instruments is a military-grade, high-speed CMOS hex D-type flip-flop with asynchronous common reset, designed for synchronous data latching in harsh-environment digital systems. It features positive-edge clock triggering, -55°C to +125°C operating range, 4.5V–5.5V supply, 60ns max setup time at 5V, and direct LSTTL input compatibility (VIL ≤ 0.8V, VIH ≥ 2.0V).
For engineers reviewing the CD54HCT174F datasheet, CD54HCT174F pinout, CD54HCT174F application, or CD54HCT174F equivalent, key selection criteria include its CERDIP-16 packaging for hermetic reliability, guaranteed operation across extended temperature extremes, compatibility with legacy TTL logic families, and deterministic edge-triggered behavior in radiation-tolerant or aerospace control subsystems.
Technical Context
The CD54HCT174F implements six independent master-slave D flip-flops sharing a single buffered clock (CP) and common asynchronous reset (MR). Its silicon-gate CMOS architecture delivers TTL-compatible input thresholds while maintaining CMOS-level quiescent current (≤160 µA over full temperature range).
Timing behavior is strictly edge-controlled: data on D₀–D₅ is captured on the low-to-high transition of CP, provided setup (≥16 ns min at 5V) and hold (≥5 ns min) requirements are met; MR asserts all Q outputs low independently of clock state, with removal time ≤18 ns relative to next CP edge.

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CD74HCT174E | Plastic DIP package, commercial/military temp (-55°C to +125°C), same logic function and pinout | Lacks hermetic seal and MIL-PRF-38535 qualification; suitable for non-critical ground-based systems | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs need for CERDIP-level reliability and radiation tolerance |
| SN74HCT174N | Commercial-grade PDIP, 0°C to +70°C only, identical electrical specs except temperature range | Not qualified for extended temperature or high-reliability environments; limited to benign indoor applications | Choose only for prototyping or non-mission-critical consumer/industrial control where ambient conditions remain stable |

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the CD54HCT174F?
The CD54HCT174F supports a maximum clock frequency of 17 MHz at VCC = 5V over the full -55°C to +125°C temperature range, based on worst-case propagation delay (60 ns) and setup/hold timing constraints. This value is derived from fMAX = 1 / (tPLH + tSU) under specified load and voltage conditions, and is validated per MIL-PRF-38535 test procedures.
Does the CD54HCT174F require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on its inputs?
No, the CD54HCT174F does not require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on CP, MR, or D inputs. Its CMOS input structure exhibits ≤1 µA leakage current (II ≤ ±1 µA), and input thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.0V, VIL ≤ 0.8V at 5V) are internally defined. Unused inputs should be tied to VCC or GND per MIL-STD-883 requirement, but passive termination is unnecessary.
Is the CD54HCT174F pin-compatible with the standard LS174 TTL device?
Yes, the CD54HCT174F is functionally and pin-compatible with the 74LS174, as confirmed in the datasheet: "The 'HCT174 is functional as well as, pin compatible to the 'LS174." Pin assignments for D₀–D₅, Q₀–Q₅, CP, MR, VCC, and GND match exactly, enabling drop-in replacement in legacy TTL designs while delivering lower power and improved noise immunity.
What is the absolute maximum supply voltage rating for the CD54HCT174F?
The absolute maximum DC supply voltage (VCC) for the CD54HCT174F is 7V, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. Operation above 5.5V violates the recommended HCT operating range and risks accelerated parametric degradation or latent failure, especially under temperature stress. Sustained operation must remain within 4.5V–5.5V per datasheet limits.
How is the CD54HCT174F marked on the package for traceability?
The CD54HCT174F carries the part marking "5962-8974301EA" on the top surface of its CERDIP package, per the TI Packaging Information Addendum. This 5962-number denotes its QML-38535 Class B qualification, and is accompanied by date code, lot trace, and manufacturer logo per MIL-STD-883 requirements for full traceability in defense supply chains.
