Product details
Overview
CD74AC74M96G4 from Texas Instruments is a dual positive-edge-triggered D-type flip-flop with independent clear and preset inputs per channel, operating across 1.5 V to 5.5 V supply range, delivering 125 MHz max clock frequency at 5 V, ±24 mA output drive, and balanced propagation delays - used in synchronous logic control, state machine sequencing, and data synchronization in industrial PLCs and test equipment.
For engineers reviewing the CD74AC74M96G4 datasheet, CD74AC74M96G4 pinout, CD74AC74M96G4 application, or CD74AC74M96G4 equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-channel edge-triggered operation, rail-to-rail input compatibility, active-low asynchronous controls, SOIC-14 package footprint, and guaranteed performance over −55°C to +125°C.
Technical Context
This device implements two independent D-type flip-flops sharing no internal coupling - each with dedicated CLK, D, PRE, CLR, Q, and Q̅ terminals. Clock triggering is voltage-level sensitive, not edge-slope dependent, enabling robust timing across varying slew rates.
It uses SCR-latchup-resistant CMOS process technology, supports 30% supply noise immunity, and features balanced tPLH/tPHL propagation (e.g., 2.6 ns typical at 5 V), ensuring minimal skew between true and complement outputs under identical load conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.5 V to 5.5 V - enables direct interface with 1.8 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V logic families without level shifters. |
| Max Clock Frequency | 125 MHz at VCC = 5 V - supports high-speed state transitions in digital controllers and counters. |
| Output Drive Current | ±24 mA - drives up to 15 F-series TTL loads or terminates 50 Ω transmission lines at 85°C. |
| Propagation Delay | 2.6 ns (tPLH/tPHL, VCC = 5 V) - ensures tight timing margins in pipelined or cascaded register stages. |
| Input Thresholds | VIH = 3.85 V, VIL = 1.65 V at VCC = 5.5 V - provides 30% noise margin for reliable signal discrimination. |
| Operating Temperature | −55°C to +125°C - qualified for extended industrial, aerospace, and automotive under-hood applications. |
| ESD Rating | ±2000 V HBM - meets standard handling requirements for automated assembly and field service. |
Pinout & Package
CD74AC74M96G4 is packaged in a 14-pin SOIC (D package) with 8.65 mm × 6.0 mm body size and 1.75 mm maximum height, compatible with standard surface-mount reflow profiles (MSL Level-1).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1CLR | Channel 1 Clear Input | Active-low asynchronous reset - forces 1Q = L, 1Q̅ = H independent of clock or data. |
| 1D | Channel 1 Data Input | Stores logic level on rising clock edge when PRE/CLR are inactive (high). |
| 1CLK | Channel 1 Clock Input | Positive-edge-triggered sampling node - insensitive to rise time; triggers at ~VCC/2 threshold. |
| 1PRE | Channel 1 Preset Input | Active-low asynchronous set - forces 1Q = H, 1Q̅ = L regardless of other inputs. |
| 1Q / 1Q̅ | Channel 1 True/Complement Outputs | Differential pair with matched delay - enables glitch-free feedback or XOR-based toggling. |
| GND / VCC | Power Supply Terminals | Single-supply operation; requires local 0.1 µF ceramic bypass capacitor at VCC pin. |
| 2CLR–2CLK | Channel 2 Control Inputs | Functionally identical and electrically isolated from Channel 1 - no crosstalk or shared timing path. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail input voltage tolerance | Supports VI from 0 V to VCC - eliminates need for external biasing on unused inputs. |
| Balanced tPLH/tPHL propagation | ≤0.4 ns skew between Q and Q̅ outputs - critical for phase-sensitive applications like quadrature decoding. |
| Low dynamic power consumption | ICC = 4 µA typical at 25°C - enables low-power standby modes in battery-backed control logic. |
| SCR-latchup immunity | Rated per JEDEC JESD78 - prevents destructive latch-up during transient overvoltage or hot-insertion events. |
| Wide temperature operation | Specified from −55°C to +125°C - validated for use in unheated outdoor enclosures and engine compartments. |
Applications
| Industrial Motion Control | Automated Test Equipment |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual D-type flip-flop applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74AC74DR | Same AC logic family, identical pinout and timing, but rated only to 85°C ambient. | Limited to commercial/industrial indoor applications; not qualified for extended temperature or military use. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs extended temperature requirement and board space allows same SOIC-14 footprint. |
| CD74HC74M96 | HC family: lower drive (±5.2 mA), slower max speed (60 MHz @ 6 V), higher input capacitance (10 pF vs 5 pF). | Suitable for low-noise, low-power systems where fanout and speed are secondary to EMI reduction. | Choose for battery-powered instrumentation where ICC < 2 µA and reduced switching noise are prioritized over speed. |
Compared with SN74AC74DR and CD74HC74M96, CD74AC74M96G4 uniquely combines military-grade temperature range, full 5.5 V operation, and 125 MHz capability - making it the only option for high-reliability, wide-voltage, high-speed dual-DFF applications requiring guaranteed performance beyond 85°C.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by CD74AC74M96G4?
CD74AC74M96G4 supports a maximum clock frequency of 125 MHz when operated at VCC = 5 V ± 0.5 V and TA = −40°C to +85°C. At VCC = 3.3 V ± 0.3 V, the max frequency drops to 90 MHz, and at VCC = 1.5 V, it is 10 MHz. These values are specified in the Switching Characteristics tables of the official TI datasheet SCHS231E.
Does CD74AC74M96G4 require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on unused inputs?
No - CD74AC74M96G4 does not require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on unused inputs. Its CMOS inputs have high impedance and must be tied directly to VCC or GND to prevent floating states, as stated in Section 4.3 of the datasheet. Floating inputs can cause increased ICC, erratic outputs, or localized heating.
Is CD74AC74M96G4 pin-compatible with CD74HC74M96?
Yes, CD74AC74M96G4 is pin-compatible with CD74HC74M96 - both use the same SOIC-14 (D) package with identical pin functions and layout. However, they differ electrically: CD74AC74M96G4 offers higher speed (125 MHz vs 60 MHz), stronger drive (±24 mA vs ±5.2 mA), and wider temperature range (−55°C to +125°C vs −40°C to +85°C).
What is the recommended bypass capacitor for CD74AC74M96G4?
The recommended bypass capacitor for CD74AC74M96G4 is a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor placed as close as possible to the VCC pin (Pin 14) and GND (Pin 7). This minimizes high-frequency supply noise and prevents logic glitches during fast output transitions, per TI's Application and Implementation guidelines in Section 7.
Can CD74AC74M96G4 operate reliably at 1.8 V supply?
Yes, CD74AC74M96G4 operates reliably at 1.8 V supply - its specified minimum VCC is 1.5 V. At 1.8 V, it delivers guaranteed functionality including 9 MHz max clock frequency, 132 ns propagation delay, and full logic-level compatibility. Performance parameters at 1.8 V are interpolated from the 1.5 V and 3.3 V characterization data in Sections 4.6 and 4.7.
