Product details
Overview
CD74ACT112M from Texas Instruments is a dual J-K negative-edge-triggered flip-flop with independent preset and clear inputs, operating at 4.5–5.5 V supply, delivering ±24-mA output drive, 114-MHz max clock frequency, and balanced 2.6–10.3 ns propagation delays. It serves as a synchronous logic building block in digital control, state machines, and clock-domain interfacing circuits.
For engineers reviewing the CD74ACT112M datasheet, CD74ACT112M pinout, CD74ACT112M application, or CD74ACT112M equivalent, this page provides verified functional identity, SOIC-16 package mapping, timing-critical parameters (tsu = 3.5 ns, th = 1 ns), ESD robustness (2-kV), and TTL-compatible input thresholds - all essential for high-reliability industrial and aerospace logic design.
Technical Context
The CD74ACT112M implements two fully independent J-K flip-flops sharing no internal coupling; each responds solely to its dedicated CLK, J, K, PRE, and CLR signals. Clock triggering occurs on the negative edge at a defined voltage threshold-not dependent on fall time-enabling stable operation across varying slew rates.
Its SCR-latchup-resistant CMOS process supports operation from –55°C to +125°C, while TTL-voltage-compatible inputs (VIH = 2 V, VIL = 0.8 V) allow direct interfacing with legacy bipolar logic without level-shifting. Output drive capability (±24 mA) ensures fanout to 15 F-series devices under worst-case temperature and voltage conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - compatible with standard 5-V logic rails and tolerant of ±10% regulation variation |
| Max Clock Frequency | 114 MHz at –40°C to +85°C - enables high-speed synchronous control in real-time sequencers |
| Propagation Delay | 2.6–10.3 ns (tPLH/tPHL) - tightly balanced rise/fall delays minimize skew in dual-output applications |
| Setup/Hold Time | tsu = 3.5 ns, th = 1 ns - defines minimum data stability window before/after CLK↓ for reliable state capture |
| Output Drive | ±24 mA - sufficient to directly drive transmission lines (50 Ω/75 Ω) and multiple downstream logic loads |
| ESD Protection | ≥2 kV per MIL-STD-883 Method 3015 - ensures handling robustness in non-EPA assembly environments |
| Input Compatibility | TTL-voltage thresholds (VIH = 2 V, VIL = 0.8 V) - eliminates need for external level translators when interfacing with 74LS/74F families |
Pinout & Package
CD74ACT112M is housed in a 16-pin SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) package, designated "M" by Texas Instruments, with 1.27-mm pitch, JEDEC MS-012AC compliant footprint, and RoHS-compliant NiPdAu lead finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 | Functional I/O (CLK, J, K, PRE, CLR, Q, Q) | Two complete J-K flip-flop channels with complementary outputs; pins assigned per TI M-package top-view diagram |
| 8 | GND | Power return reference for both flip-flops; must be low-impedance connection to minimize ground bounce |
| 16 | VCC | Positive supply rail; decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF ceramic) required within 5 mm of this pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Negative-edge clock triggering | Enables precise synchronization to falling edges of system clocks, avoiding metastability risks from asynchronous rising-edge sampling |
| Asynchronous preset/clear | Allows immediate state initialization or reset independent of clock timing - critical for power-up sequencing and fault recovery |
| SCR-latchup immunity | Guarantees no destructive latchup under transient overvoltage or ESD events, meeting MIL-PRF-38535 reliability requirements |
| Balanced tPLH/tPHL | Minimizes duty-cycle distortion in toggle-mode operation, preserving 50% output duty cycle across temperature and voltage extremes |
| Unit-load input characterization | J/CLK inputs draw 1 unit load (2.4 mA), while K/PRE/CLR draw ≤0.58 units - simplifies fanout calculation and bus loading analysis |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the CD74ACT112M?
The CD74ACT112M is specified for continuous operation from –55°C to +125°C, validated per MIL-PRF-38535 requirements. This extended range is confirmed in the ordering information table and absolute maximum ratings section of the SCHS323 datasheet, making CD74ACT112M suitable for under-hood automotive, downhole, and aerospace applications where ambient temperatures exceed commercial-grade limits.
Does the CD74ACT112M support true TTL-level input compatibility?
Yes, the CD74ACT112M features TTL-voltage-compatible inputs with VIH = 2.0 V (min) and VIL = 0.8 V (max) across its full temperature range. This allows direct connection to 74LS, 74F, and other bipolar logic families without level-shifting components - a key specification explicitly stated in the "Features" section of the SCHS323 datasheet.
Can the CD74ACT112M be used in toggle mode, and what design considerations apply?
Yes, the CD74ACT112M supports toggle mode by tying both J and K inputs HIGH. In this configuration, the Q output toggles on each negative clock edge. Designers must ensure tsu ≥ 3.5 ns and th ≥ 1 ns for stable operation, and verify that output loading does not exceed ±24 mA per pin - values confirmed in the switching characteristics and recommended operating conditions tables of the CD74ACT112M datasheet.
Is the CD74ACT112M pin-compatible with the CD74HC112M?
No, the CD74ACT112M and CD74HC112M are not pin-compatible. While both are dual J-K flip-flops in SOIC-16 packages, their pin assignments differ: CD74ACT112M follows the M-package layout (e.g., Pin 1 = 1CLK), whereas CD74HC112M uses a different pinout (e.g., Pin 1 = 1Q). This difference is documented in their respective TI datasheets (SCHS323 vs. SCRS079) and confirmed by TI's package drawings.
What packaging and reel specifications apply to the CD74ACT112M96.A variant?
The CD74ACT112M96.A is supplied in tape-and-reel format: 2500 units per reel, 16.4-mm reel width, 330-mm reel diameter, Q1 quadrant pin-1 orientation, and Level-1 moisture sensitivity rating (260°C peak reflow). These details are specified in TI's Package Option Addendum dated 15-Jul-2026 and match the CD74ACT112M96 ordering variant referenced in the original data sheet.
