Product details
Overview
CD74HCT174MT from Texas Instruments is a high-speed CMOS hex D-type flip-flop with asynchronous common reset, designed for synchronous data latching in digital control and timing circuits. It features positive-edge clock triggering, 4.5V–5.5V operation, -55°C to +125°C temperature range, and pin compatibility with LS174 logic. Used in industrial PLC I/O modules for parallel data capture.
For engineers reviewing the CD74HCT174MT datasheet, CD74HCT174MT pinout, CD74HCT174MT application, or CD74HCT174MT equivalent, key selection criteria include LSTTL input compatibility (VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VIH ≥ 2.0 V), 60 ns max setup time at 5 V, 50 ns propagation delay (CL = 50 pF), and SOIC-16 package thermal resistance of 73°C/W.
Technical Context
The CD74HCT174MT implements six master-slave D flip-flops sharing one clock (CP) and one asynchronous master reset (MR), enabling synchronized state capture across all six outputs (Q0–Q5). Its silicon-gate CMOS architecture delivers TTL-compatible inputs while maintaining CMOS-level quiescent current (≤160 µA over full temperature range).
It operates strictly within 4.5 V–5.5 V, ensuring direct interface with legacy LSTTL systems without level-shifting. Input thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.0 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V) and output drive capability (4 mA sink/source at VOH/VOL) are specified under TTL load conditions, confirming functional equivalence to 74LS174 in mixed-logic designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Family | HCT - TTL-compatible CMOS, enabling direct replacement of 74LS174 without redesign. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures stable operation across standard 5 V ±5% rails in industrial power domains. |
| Max Clock Frequency | 25 MHz at TA = -55°C to +125°C - supports reliable high-speed control sequencing in harsh environments. |
| Propagation Delay (CP→Q) | 60 ns max (CL = 50 pF, VCC = 4.5 V, TA = 125°C) - defines worst-case timing margin for synchronous state updates. |
| Input Thresholds | VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VIH ≥ 2.0 V - guarantees robust noise immunity and guaranteed recognition of LS-TTL output levels. |
| Output Drive | ±4 mA (TTL loads) - sufficient to drive 10 LSTTL inputs directly, eliminating need for buffer stages. |
| Operating Temperature | -55°C to +125°C - qualified for military, aerospace, and under-hood automotive applications per MIL-PRF-38535. |
Pinout & Package
CD74HCT174MT is housed in a 16-pin SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) package with 1.27 mm pitch, JEDEC MS-012AC compliant, and moisture sensitivity level (MSL) Level-1 (unlimited floor life at ≤30°C/60% RH).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (MR) | Master Reset | Asynchronous active-low reset; forces all Q outputs low regardless of clock state - critical for system initialization and fault recovery. |
| 2–7, 9–14 (D0–D5) | Data Inputs | Six independent D inputs; each latches on rising edge of CP only if MR is high - enables parallel data acquisition from sensors or buses. |
| 3, 4, 6, 11, 13, 14 (Q0–Q5) | True Outputs | Complementary Q outputs (no Q̅ provided); fanout supports 10 LSTTL loads - suitable for driving downstream logic or LED indicators. |
| 8 (GND) | Ground Reference | Primary ground return path; must be low-impedance connection to minimize switching noise coupling into logic states. |
| 16 (VCC) | Power Supply | Positive supply rail (4.5–5.5 V); decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF ceramic) required within 10 mm for stable high-frequency operation. |
| 15 (CP) | Clock Input | Buffered positive-edge-triggered clock; requires minimum 20 ns pulse width at 125°C - constrains minimum clock period in real-time controllers. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Direct LSTTL Input Compatibility | Eliminates level-shifters when interfacing with 74LS-series logic, reducing BOM count and board space in legacy upgrades. |
| Asynchronous Common Reset | Enables deterministic system-wide state clearing via single control line - essential for safety-critical reset sequences in motor drives. |
| Wide Temperature Range Support | Validated operation from -55°C to +125°C allows deployment in unheated outdoor enclosures or engine-control units without derating. |
| Low Quiescent Current | ICC ≤ 160 µA at 125°C reduces standby power in battery-backed systems and eases thermal management in dense logic arrays. |
| CMOS Input Leakage | II ≤ ±1 µA ensures minimal loading on upstream drivers - preserves signal integrity in high-impedance sensor interface chains. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar hex D-type flip-flop with reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74HCT174N | PDIP-16 package; identical electrical specs but higher θJA (67°C/W) and no extended temp rating (0°C to 70°C only). | Limited to commercial-grade applications; unsuitable for under-hood or outdoor deployments requiring -55°C startup. | Select SN74HCT174N only for cost-sensitive, non-ruggedized prototypes where temperature range is not constrained. |
| CD74HC174M96 | HC variant (2V–6V operation); lacks LSTTL input compatibility (VIH min = 1.5 V at 2 V, 3.15 V at 4.5 V) and higher propagation delay (250 ns max at 2 V). | Requires level-shifting when interfacing with 74LS logic; incompatible with existing LS174 drop-in replacements. | Choose CD74HC174M96 only for new designs using pure CMOS signaling or wider supply ranges - not for legacy TTL interoperability. |
Compared with SN74HCT174N and CD74HC174M96, CD74HCT174MT uniquely combines military-grade temperature range, true LSTTL input compatibility, and SOIC packaging - making it the sole option for drop-in LS174 replacement in extended-temperature industrial systems.

FAQ
Is CD74HCT174MT pin-compatible with the 74LS174?
Yes, CD74HCT174MT is functionally and pin-compatible with the 74LS174. Its input voltage thresholds (VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VIH ≥ 2.0 V) and output drive strength (±4 mA) match LS-TTL specifications, allowing direct substitution without PCB changes. The SOIC-16 footprint aligns with industry-standard 74LS174 PDIP-to-SOIC adapter layouts.
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by CD74HCT174MT at 125°C?
CD74HCT174MT supports a maximum clock frequency of 25 MHz at TA = 125°C (VCC = 4.5 V, CL = 50 pF). This is verified in the datasheet's switching specifications table under "HCT TYPES" for fMAX across the full temperature range, ensuring reliable operation in high-ambient environments like engine bays or industrial enclosures.
Does CD74HCT174MT require external pull-up resistors on its inputs?
No, CD74HCT174MT does not require external pull-up resistors on its inputs. Its CMOS inputs exhibit leakage current ≤ ±1 µA, and internal structure ensures defined logic states with clean TTL-level signals. Pull-ups are unnecessary unless interfacing with open-collector sources or implementing wired-OR logic - which is outside the device's intended use case.
Can CD74HCT174MT operate at 3.3 V supply voltage?
No, CD74HCT174MT is not rated for 3.3 V operation. Its HCT specification mandates 4.5 V–5.5 V supply range to guarantee LSTTL input compatibility and specified timing performance. At 3.3 V, VIH and VIL thresholds become undefined, and propagation delays exceed datasheet limits - risking functional failure in production systems.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the CD74HCT174MT SOIC package?
The CD74HCT174MT in SOIC-16 package has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 73°C/W, as specified in the Thermal Information section of the datasheet. This value assumes standard JEDEC 2-layer board layout (1 in² copper pad); actual performance may vary with PCB copper area and airflow in the final assembly.
