Product details
Overview
CD74HCT174M96G4 from Texas Instruments is a hex D-type flip-flop with asynchronous common reset, implemented in silicon-gate CMOS technology for LSTTL-compatible operation at 4.5V–5.5V. It features positive-edge clock triggering, six master-slave stages sharing one clock and one reset pin, and delivers 15 LSTTL load fanout. It is used in digital control logic, state register banks, and synchronous data latching in industrial timing circuits.
For engineers reviewing the CD74HCT174M96G4 datasheet, CD74HCT174M96G4 pinout, CD74HCT174M96G4 application, or CD74HCT174M96G4 equivalent, key selection criteria include its HCT-level input compatibility (VIH ≥ 2V, VIL ≤ 0.8V), -55°C to +125°C operating range, SOIC-16 package, and guaranteed 25 MHz max clock frequency at 5V with 50 pF load.
Technical Context
The CD74HCT174M96G4 implements six independent D-type flip-flops in a single SOIC-16 package, each synchronized to the rising edge of a shared clock (CP) and cleared simultaneously by an active-low MR signal. Its architecture uses master-slave latching to prevent race conditions and ensure deterministic output transitions.
It operates strictly within the 4.5V–5.5V supply range and maintains full DC and AC compatibility with standard LS-TTL inputs-no level-shifting required. Propagation delay from CP to Q is 40 ns (typical) at 5V/50 pF, and setup/hold times are 16 ns/5 ns respectively, enabling reliable interfacing with legacy TTL bus controllers and microcontroller peripherals.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Family | HCT - TTL-compatible CMOS, enables direct connection to 74LS-series without level shifters |
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.5V to 5.5V - ensures stable operation across industrial 5V rails with ±10% tolerance |
| Max Clock Frequency | 25 MHz at 5V/50 pF - supports medium-speed synchronous logic in control sequencers and I/O expanders |
| Propagation Delay (CP→Q) | 40 ns typical at 5V/50 pF - defines minimum cycle time for reliable state capture in pipeline registers |
| Input Compatibility | VIH ≥ 2.0V, VIL ≤ 0.8V - matches LS-TTL thresholds, eliminating need for external pull-ups or buffers |
| Operating Temperature | -55°C to +125°C - qualified for aerospace, military, and under-hood automotive applications |
| Fanout Capability | 15 LSTTL loads - drives multiple downstream gates without buffer amplification |
Pinout & Package
CD74HCT174M96G4 is housed in a 16-pin SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) package with standard 1.27 mm pitch, JEDEC MS-012AC compliant, and RoHS-compliant NiPdAu lead finish. The device uses quadrant Q1 orientation in tape-and-reel delivery (2500 pcs/reel).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (MR) | Master Reset | Active-low asynchronous reset controlling all six Q outputs; overrides clock and forces Qn = L |
| 2–7 (D0–D5) | Data Inputs | Independent D inputs for each flip-flop; sampled on rising CP edge if setup/hold times met |
| 8 (GND) | Ground Reference | Power return path for logic core and I/O; requires low-impedance PCB connection |
| 9–14 (Q0–Q5) | Registered Outputs | Complementary latched outputs updated only on CP rising edge; no internal inversion |
| 15 (CP) | Clock Input | Buffered positive-edge-triggered clock; must meet minimum pulse width (20 ns @ 5V) |
| 16 (VCC) | Power Supply | CMOS core supply; bypassing with 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor near pin recommended |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Asynchronous Common Reset | Single MR pin clears all six Q outputs to logic low regardless of clock state - simplifies system initialization and fault recovery |
| LSTTL Input Compatibility | Guaranteed VIH ≥ 2.0V and VIL ≤ 0.8V at VCC = 5V - eliminates interface logic when upgrading from 74LS174 |
| High Fanout (15 LSTTL) | Drives up to 15 standard TTL inputs directly - reduces component count in bus-hold or address latch designs |
| Wide Temperature Range | Specified from -55°C to +125°C - supports deployment in extended-environment systems without derating |
| Low Quiescent Current | ICC ≤ 8 µA at 25°C (max 160 µA over full temp range) - enables use in low-power standby modes |
Applications

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the CD74HCT174M96G4?
The CD74HCT174M96G4 supports a maximum clock frequency of 25 MHz at VCC = 5V with a 50 pF load, as specified in the switching characteristics table. This value is guaranteed over the full -55°C to +125°C operating temperature range, making CD74HCT174M96G4 suitable for real-time control applications where deterministic timing is critical.
Is the CD74HCT174M96G4 pin-compatible with the 74LS174?
Yes, the CD74HCT174M96G4 is both functionally and pin-compatible with the 74LS174. Its HCT input thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.0V, VIL ≤ 0.8V) match LS-TTL levels, and its SOIC-16 pinout mirrors the PDIP-16 layout of the 74LS174 - enabling drop-in replacement without PCB modification when migrating from bipolar to CMOS technology.
What does the 'G4' suffix in CD74HCT174M96G4 signify?
Within Texas Instruments' part numbering system, the 'G4' suffix in CD74HCT174M96G4 identifies a specific assembly and test flow revision, indicating compliance with TI's latest quality and reliability standards. It does not alter functionality, timing, or electrical specifications - CD74HCT174M96G4 remains fully interchangeable with CD74HCT174M96 in design and application.
Can the CD74HCT174M96G4 operate outside the 4.5V–5.5V supply range?
No - the CD74HCT174M96G4 is characterized and guaranteed only for operation between 4.5V and 5.5V. Operation below 4.5V risks violating input threshold margins and may cause metastability; operation above 5.5V exceeds absolute maximum ratings and risks permanent damage. For wider voltage operation, consider the HC-family variant CD74HC174M96 instead.
Does the CD74HCT174M96G4 require external pull-up resistors on its inputs?
No - the CD74HCT174M96G4 has CMOS input structure with leakage current ≤ ±1 µA and defined VIH/VIL thresholds. Pull-up resistors are unnecessary unless interfacing with open-collector/drain sources or implementing wired-OR logic. For standard TTL or microcontroller GPIO drivers, direct connection suffices.
