Product details
Overview
CY74FCT273CTSOCTE4 from Texas Instruments is an 8-bit edge-triggered D-type flip-flop register with common clock (CP) and master-reset (MR) inputs, 5.8 ns maximum propagation delay, 64 mA sink / 32 mA source output drive, and SOIC-20 package. It operates across –40°C to +85°C and supports partial-power-down via Ioff, enabling safe bus-hold in mixed-voltage systems such as industrial control backplanes.
For engineers reviewing the CY74FCT273CTSOCTE4 datasheet, CY74FCT273CTSOCTE4 pinout, CY74FCT273CTSOCTE4 application, or CY74FCT273CTSOCTE4 equivalent, key selection criteria include TTL-compatible input thresholds, matched rise/fall times for EMI reduction, edge-rate control circuitry, Ioff-enabled power sequencing, and 5-V supply operation with 3.3-V logic-level compatibility.
Technical Context
This device implements eight synchronous D-type latches triggered on the low-to-high CP transition, with all Q outputs updated simultaneously based on D-input states sampled one setup time prior. The MR input asynchronously forces all Q outputs low, independent of CP timing.
It features edge-rate controlled outputs to minimize switching noise, Ioff circuitry that disables outputs when VCC = 0 V to prevent back-drive current, and full TTL input/output voltage level compatibility - including VIH = 2.0 V min and VOL = 0.55 V max at 64 mA sink - ensuring interoperability with legacy 5-V logic families.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Function | 8-bit positive-edge-triggered D-type register with asynchronous master reset |
| Propagation Delay (tPLH/tPHL) | 5.8 ns max - enables reliable operation in 100-MHz clock domains with margin |
| Output Drive | 64 mA sink / 32 mA source - drives heavy capacitive loads or multiple TTL inputs without buffering |
| Ioff Support | Active at VCC = 0 V - prevents damaging current flow during hot-insertion or partial power-down |
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.75 V to 5.25 V - tight 5-V tolerance ensures stable timing and noise immunity in regulated systems |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded control and automation equipment |
| Input Compatibility | Fully TTL-compatible - accepts standard 5-V logic levels without level-shifting circuitry |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOIC-20 (DW), 7.5 mm × 12.8 mm body, 1.27 mm pitch, RoHS-compliant NIPDAU lead finish, MSL Level-1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | MR (Master Reset) | Asynchronous active-low reset: forces all Q outputs low regardless of CP state |
| 2–9 | D0–D7 | Data inputs sampled on rising CP edge; latched into corresponding flip-flops |
| 10 | GND | Ground reference for all internal logic and output drivers |
| 11 | VCC | 5-V power supply; powers internal logic and output stages |
| 12–19 | Q0–Q7 | Registered outputs reflecting D-input states captured at last CP↑ transition |
| 20 | CP | Buffered clock input; rising-edge sensitive; controls simultaneous latch update |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Edge-Rate Controlled Outputs | Reduces simultaneous switching noise (SSN) and EMI emissions by limiting dV/dt on output transitions |
| Matched Rise/Fall Times | Ensures symmetrical signal integrity in bidirectional data paths and reduces duty-cycle distortion |
| TTL-Compatible Input Thresholds | VIH = 2.0 V min / VIL = 0.8 V max - eliminates need for external level shifters in mixed-logic systems |
| ESD Protection | 2000-V HBM, 200-V MM, 1000-V CDM - exceeds JEDEC JESD22 standards for robust board-level handling |
| Partial-Power-Down Support | Ioff limits leakage to ±1 µA when VCC = 0 V - enables safe insertion into live backplanes |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 8-bit register applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74FCT273NSR | Same logic function, 7 ns max tPD, 32 mA sink/source, SOIC-20, identical pinout | Lower drive strength; suitable where load capacitance < 30 pF and fanout ≤ 10 TTL units | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs need for 64 mA drive or tighter timing margin. |
| 74AC273M | CMOS-based, 10 ns max tPD, 24 mA drive, wider 4.5–5.5 V supply range, same pinout | Higher static current, no Ioff, less noise-immune edge control | Choose only if system requires broader VCC tolerance and can accept reduced noise performance and no partial-power-down. |
Compared with SN74FCT273NSR and 74AC273M, CY74FCT273CTSOCTE4 delivers superior noise immunity via edge-rate control, higher sink current for direct driver interfacing, and guaranteed Ioff behavior critical for modular industrial systems - making it the preferred choice for robust, high-reliability 5-V register applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by CY74FCT273CTSOCTE4?
CY74FCT273CTSOCTE4 has a maximum propagation delay of 5.8 ns, supporting reliable operation up to approximately 100 MHz in well-designed PCB layouts with controlled impedance and minimal capacitive loading. Actual maximum frequency depends on setup/hold timing margins, trace routing, and output load - design verification using the 2 ns setup and 1.5 ns hold specifications is required for 100-MHz use cases.
Does CY74FCT273CTSOCTE4 support partial-power-down mode?
Yes, CY74FCT273CTSOCTE4 fully supports partial-power-down mode via its Ioff circuitry. When VCC = 0 V, output leakage is limited to ±1 µA, preventing damaging back-current flow from powered bus lines into the unpowered device - a critical feature for hot-pluggable industrial backplanes and modular automotive ECUs.
Is CY74FCT273CTSOCTE4 pin-compatible with standard 74-series 273 registers?
Yes, CY74FCT273CTSOCTE4 uses the industry-standard 20-pin SOIC footprint and identical pinout to 74LS273, 74HC273, and 74AC273 devices - including MR on Pin 1, D0–D7 on Pins 2–9, GND on Pin 10, VCC on Pin 11, Q0–Q7 on Pins 12–19, and CP on Pin 20 - enabling drop-in replacement in most 5-V logic designs.
What is the purpose of the edge-rate control circuitry in CY74FCT273CTSOCTE4?
The edge-rate control circuitry in CY74FCT273CTSOCTE4 intentionally limits output slew rate to reduce simultaneous switching noise (SSN) and electromagnetic interference (EMI). This design feature improves signal integrity in dense PCB layouts and meets stringent CISPR-22 Class B emissions requirements without requiring external series resistors or ferrite beads.
Can CY74FCT273CTSOCTE4 operate with a 3.3-V supply?
No, CY74FCT273CTSOCTE4 is specified only for 4.75 V to 5.25 V operation per its recommended operating conditions. While its inputs are TTL-compatible (accepting 3.3-V logic highs), the core logic and output drivers require a 5-V supply to meet timing, drive, and noise specifications. For 3.3-V systems, consider TI's 74LVC273 or SN74AVC273 families instead.
