Product details
Overview
CD74ACT74QM96G4Q1 from Texas Instruments is an automotive-qualified dual positive-edge-triggered D-type flip-flop with independent preset and clear inputs, 85 MHz maximum clock frequency, ±24 mA output drive, TTL-compatible inputs, and operation across −40°C to 125°C. It implements synchronous data latching in safety-critical vehicle control logic, such as transmission shift sequencing and airbag deployment timing circuits.
For engineers reviewing the CD74ACT74QM96G4Q1 datasheet, CD74ACT74QM96G4Q1 pinout, CD74ACT74QM96G4Q1 application, or CD74ACT74QM96G4Q1 equivalent, key selection criteria include automotive AEC-Q100 qualification, balanced propagation delays (2.4–9.5 ns), SCR-latchup-resistant CMOS process, and SOIC-14 package compatibility with legacy board layouts.
Technical Context
This device integrates two independent edge-triggered D flip-flops in a single SOIC-14 package, each with asynchronous active-low PRE and CLR inputs that override clocked behavior. Its TTL-voltage-compatible inputs accept 0.8 V/2.0 V thresholds while operating from a 4.5–5.5 V supply, enabling direct interfacing with legacy bipolar logic without level-shifting.
Propagation delays are tightly balanced between Q and Q outputs (tPLH/tPHL = 2.4–9.5 ns), and setup/hold timing (tsu = 4 ns, th = 0 ns) supports high-speed sampling of sensor signals in engine control units. The ±24 mA drive capability allows fanout to 15 F-series devices without external buffers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures stable operation under automotive battery transients (e.g., load dump, cold crank). |
| Max Clock Frequency | 85 MHz - supports real-time sampling of high-speed CAN FD or LIN bus status signals in ECU timing paths. |
| Output Drive | ±24 mA - drives multiple downstream logic gates or small-signal LEDs directly, eliminating buffer stages. |
| Propagation Delay | 2.4 ns (min) to 9.5 ns (max) - enables precise edge-aligned timing in dual-channel PWM synchronization circuits. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood applications including powertrain and chassis control modules. |
| Input Compatibility | TTL voltage thresholds (VIL = 0.8 V, VIH = 2.0 V) - interoperates with legacy 74LS/74F logic without level translators. |
| Quiescent Current | 4 µA (typ) to 80 µA (max) at 25°C - minimizes standby power in always-on vehicle subsystems like body control modules. |
Pinout & Package
CD74ACT74QM96G4Q1 uses a 14-pin SOIC (D) package with 1.27 mm pitch, 8.75 mm × 3.9 mm body, and 1.75 mm max height - compatible with standard surface-mount reflow profiles (MSL Level-1, 260°C peak).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 4, 10, 13 | PRE / CLR / CLK / D (per flip-flop) | Asynchronous preset/clear and synchronous clock/data inputs - enable deterministic reset/set independent of clock edge. |
| 2, 5, 11, 14 | Q / Q / Q / Q (complementary outputs) | True and inverted latched outputs - support differential signaling or redundant logic checking in ASIL-B systems. |
| 7 | GND | Power return reference - requires low-inductance connection to minimize ground bounce during simultaneous output switching. |
| 14 | VCC | Positive supply rail - decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF ceramic) must be placed within 3 mm for stable high-speed operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Qualified | Automotive-grade reliability validated per Grade 1 temperature range (−40°C to +125°C) and stress testing requirements. |
| SCR-Latchup Resistant | CMOS process prevents destructive latch-up during ESD events or supply rail transients common in vehicle electrical systems. |
| Balanced Q/Q Delays | Matched tPLH/tPHL ensures symmetrical timing margins when both outputs feed complementary logic paths (e.g., H-bridge gate drivers). |
| TTL-Compatible Inputs | Accepts standard 74LS logic levels directly - eliminates need for external level shifters in mixed-technology ECUs. |
| Low Input Capacitance | 10 pF typical - reduces loading on upstream clock or data sources, preserving signal integrity in high-frequency routing. |
Applications
| Engine Control Unit (ECU) | Transmission Control Module (TCM) |
|---|---|

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC74AQPWRQ1 | Lower supply range (1.65–5.5 V), 32 mA drive, but only 24 MHz max clock at 3.3 V; no TTL input compatibility. | Suitable for 3.3 V-only domains (e.g., infotainment SoC interfaces); not drop-in for 5 V legacy systems. | Select when migrating to lower-voltage domains and requiring higher drive strength at reduced speed. |
| CD74HC74QME4Q1 | Same pinout and function, but HC logic family: slower (25 MHz max), lower drive (±5.2 mA), wider VCC range (2–6 V). | Used where cost or wide supply tolerance matters more than speed - e.g., HVAC control panels with variable battery input. | Choose for cost-sensitive, lower-speed automotive subsystems where 85 MHz performance is unnecessary. |
Compared with CD74ACT74QM96G4Q1, SN74LVC74AQPWRQ1 offers higher drive but sacrifices 5 V TTL compatibility and speed headroom, while CD74HC74QME4Q1 trades performance for broader voltage flexibility and lower cost - making CD74ACT74QM96G4Q1 optimal for 5 V, high-speed, legacy-interfaced automotive logic.

FAQ
What is the AEC-Q100 qualification status of CD74ACT74QM96G4Q1?
CD74ACT74QM96G4Q1 is fully qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 1 standards, covering temperature cycling, HTOL, ESD, and latch-up testing for automotive use. The "Q1" suffix explicitly denotes this qualification, and test reports confirm operation from −40°C to +125°C ambient with full parametric compliance throughout the range. This makes CD74ACT74QM96G4Q1 suitable for powertrain and chassis applications where reliability is critical.
Does CD74ACT74QM96G4Q1 support true 5 V TTL input compatibility?
Yes, CD74ACT74QM96G4Q1 features TTL-voltage-compatible inputs with guaranteed VIL ≤ 0.8 V and VIH ≥ 2.0 V at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V. This allows direct connection to 74LS, 74F, and other legacy bipolar logic families without level-shifting circuitry - a key differentiator from LVC or HC variants that require 3.3 V logic levels or have tighter input thresholds.
What is the minimum setup time required for reliable operation of CD74ACT74QM96G4Q1?
The CD74ACT74QM96G4Q1 requires a minimum data setup time (tsu) of 4 ns relative to the clock's positive-going edge, specified over the full −40°C to +125°C temperature range at VCC = 5 V ± 0.5 V. This tight timing enables integration into high-speed control loops, such as those found in electric power steering motor commutation logic, where deterministic sampling is essential.
Can CD74ACT74QM96G4Q1 operate with a 3.3 V supply?
No - CD74ACT74QM96G4Q1 is not characterized or guaranteed for operation below 4.5 V. Its recommended operating conditions specify VCC = 4.5–5.5 V only. Attempting 3.3 V operation may result in undefined logic states, increased propagation delay variation, or failure to meet timing specifications. For 3.3 V systems, consider SN74LVC74AQPWRQ1 instead.
How does the SCR-latchup resistance of CD74ACT74QM96G4Q1 benefit automotive designs?
CD74ACT74QM96G4Q1 employs a proprietary SCR-latchup-resistant CMOS process that prevents destructive parasitic thyristor conduction during ESD events or supply rail transients - common in automotive environments due to load dump or jump-start conditions. This eliminates need for external protection components and improves field reliability in harsh electrical environments.
