Product details
Overview
CD74ACT273MPWREP from Texas Instruments is an octal D-type flip-flop with asynchronous master reset, fabricated in ACT CMOS technology. It operates at 4.5V–5.5V supply, delivers ±24mA output drive, exhibits 3.5ns typical propagation delay (CP to Qn, VCC = 5V), and supports industrial temperature range (–55°C to +125°C). It serves as a synchronous data latch in digital control logic, bus interface buffering, and state register stages.
For engineers reviewing the CD74ACT273MPWREP datasheet, CD74ACT273MPWREP pinout, CD74ACT273MPWREP application, or CD74ACT273MPWREP equivalent, key selection criteria include its TTL-compatible input thresholds, rail-to-rail output swing, 97MHz maximum clock frequency, and TSSOP-20 packaging for high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The CD74ACT273MPWREP implements eight edge-triggered D flip-flops sharing a common rising-edge clock (CP) and active-low asynchronous master reset (!MR). Its ACT logic family ensures TTL-level input compatibility (VIL ≤ 0.8V, VIH ≥ 2.0V at VCC = 4.5–5.5V) and robust noise immunity across the full operating temperature range.
Each output provides ±24mA DC drive capability-sufficient to fan out to 15 FAST™ ICs or directly terminate 50Ω transmission lines. The device features SCR-latchup-resistant construction and meets ±2000V HBM ESD rating, enabling reliable operation in harsh industrial environments without external protection circuitry.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by CD74ACT273MPWREP?
The CD74ACT273MPWREP supports a maximum clock frequency of 97MHz at VCC = 5V and TA = 25°C, with guaranteed minimum of 85MHz across the full –55°C to +125°C operating range. This is derived from its 3.5ns typical propagation delay and validated timing margins in the official datasheet's switching characteristics table.
Does CD74ACT273MPWREP support 3.3V operation?
No, CD74ACT273MPWREP does not support 3.3V operation. Its ACT-family specification mandates a minimum supply voltage of 4.5V. For 3.3V-compatible octal D flip-flops, consider AC-family variants like CD74AC273M96, which operate from 1.5V to 5.5V but with slower timing and reduced drive strength.
What is the function of pin 1 (!MR) on CD74ACT273MPWREP?
Pin 1 of CD74ACT273MPWREP is the active-low master reset (!MR) input. When asserted low, it asynchronously forces all eight Q outputs to logic low, independent of the clock signal. The minimum pulse width required is 4.4ns at VCC = 5V, and the input threshold is VIL ≤ 0.8V.
Is CD74ACT273MPWREP pin-compatible with standard 74ACT273 devices?
Yes, CD74ACT273MPWREP is pin-compatible with industry-standard 74ACT273 devices in TSSOP-20 (PW) packaging. It shares identical pin numbering, electrical characteristics, and timing behavior-but adds enhanced product qualifications including extended temperature range, tighter parametric limits, and controlled manufacturing lot traceability.
What package type is used for CD74ACT273MPWREP?
CD74ACT273MPWREP uses the TSSOP-20 (PW) package: 5.00 mm × 6.4 mm body size, 0.65 mm lead pitch, 2.0 mm maximum height, RoHS-compliant NIPDAU lead finish, and moisture sensitivity level (MSL) Level-1. This surface-mount package supports high-density PCB layouts and automated assembly.
