Product details
Overview
M74HC73TTR from STMicroelectronics is a high-speed CMOS dual J-K flip-flop with independent asynchronous clear, fabricated in silicon gate C2MOS technology. It operates across 2V–6V supply, delivers 80MHz max clock frequency (typ.) at 6V, and features symmetrical 4mA output drive, balanced tPLH/tPHL propagation delays, and 2µA max ICC at 25°C. Used in synchronous logic control, state machines, and clock-domain synchronization in industrial PLCs and instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the M74HC73TTR datasheet, M74HC73TTR pinout, M74HC73TTR application, or M74HC73TTR equivalent, key selection criteria include dual J-K functionality with asynchronous reset, TSSOP-14 package compatibility, guaranteed operation from –55°C to +125°C, and verified 4.5V/6V AC timing performance per STMicroelectronics specification sheets.
Technical Context
The M74HC73TTR implements two independent edge-triggered J-K flip-flops, each responding to the negative-going transition of its dedicated clock input (1CK/2CK). Clear inputs (1CLR/2CLR) are active-low and asynchronous, overriding clock and J/K states to force Q = L and Q̅ = H regardless of clock phase.
Input thresholds meet 28% VCC noise immunity (VIH ≥ 3.15V @ 4.5V, VIL ≤ 1.35V), and DC output drive is specified at ±4mA (VOH ≥ 4.18V, VOL ≤ 0.26V @ 4.5V, IO = 4mA). Propagation delay from CK to Q is 25ns (typ.) and 38ns (max) at 4.5V, with setup time ts = 15ns (max) and zero hold time requirement.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2V to 6V - supports mixed-voltage system interfacing and battery-powered operation down to 2V |
| Max Clock Frequency | 80MHz (typ.) at VCC = 6V - enables high-speed state sequencing in real-time control loops |
| Output Drive Strength | ±4mA (min.) - sufficient to drive 10 LS-TTL loads or multiple CMOS inputs without buffering |
| Propagation Delay (CK→Q) | 25ns (typ.) @ 4.5V - ensures predictable timing margins in 25MHz+ synchronous designs |
| Quiescent Current | 2µA (max.) @ TA = 25°C - critical for low-power standby modes in energy-sensitive applications |
| Operating Temperature | –55°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial motor drives, and outdoor equipment |
| Noise Immunity | VNIH/VNIL = 28% VCC (min.) - rejects >1.26V noise spikes on 4.5V rails without false triggering |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-14 package: 4.9 × 6.4 mm body, 0.65 mm pitch, 1.2 mm height, lead-free and RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 5 | 1CK, 2CK | Negative-edge clock inputs - trigger state change only on falling edge; require clean monotonic transitions |
| 2, 6 | 1CLR, 2CLR | Active-low asynchronous reset - forces Q = L / Q̅ = H immediately, independent of clock or J/K |
| 12, 9 | 1Q, 2Q | True outputs - provide registered logic state; fan-out limited by 4mA drive capability |
| 13, 8 | 1Q̅, 2Q̅ | Complement outputs - enable direct implementation of toggle or toggle-enable functions without inverters |
| 14, 7, 3, 10 | 1J, 2J, 1K, 2K | Synchronous data inputs - define next-state behavior (set, reset, toggle, hold) on next clock edge |
| 11 | GND | Ground reference - must be low-impedance connection to minimize ground bounce in high-speed switching |
| 4 | VCC | Positive supply - bypass with 100nF ceramic capacitor near pin to suppress supply transients |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent J-K flip-flops | Enables compact implementation of two-bit counters, shift registers, or parallel load registers in single IC |
| Asynchronous active-low clear | Allows immediate, clock-independent initialization of control logic-critical for safe startup and fault recovery |
| High noise immunity (28% VCC) | Reduces susceptibility to EMI-induced glitches in electrically noisy industrial environments |
| Balanced tPLH/tPHL delays | Minimizes duty-cycle distortion in clock-divided outputs, supporting stable 50% duty cycle generation |
| Wide 2V–6V operating range | Permits direct interface with 3.3V microcontrollers and 5V legacy peripherals without level-shifting |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual J-K flip-flop applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74HC73DR | TI part in SOIC-14; identical AC/DC specs but rated only to +85°C (vs. +125°C) | Limited to commercial/industrial ambient; unsuitable for under-hood or extended-temperature deployments | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs extended temperature need and SOIC footprint is preferred |
| 74HC73PW,118 | Nexperia TSSOP-14; same pinout and function, but CPD = 30pF (vs. 35pF) and fMAX = 75MHz (typ.) | Slightly lower dynamic power at high frequency; marginally reduced max clock rate | Choose for lower average power in battery-operated portable diagnostics equipment |
Compared with SN74HC73DR and 74HC73PW,118, the M74HC73TTR provides the widest temperature range (–55°C to +125°C), highest guaranteed fMAX (80MHz), and best noise immunity-making it optimal for mission-critical automotive and industrial control where environmental robustness is non-negotiable.

FAQ
Is M74HC73TTR pin-compatible with standard 74LS73?
Yes-M74HC73TTR is pin- and function-compatible with 74LS73 and 74HC73 variants, sharing identical TSSOP-14 pinout and truth table. However, it operates at higher speed (80MHz vs. 30MHz) and lower power (2µA vs. 15mA), with CMOS input thresholds instead of TTL. Level-shifting is not required when replacing 74LS73 in 5V systems.
Does M74HC73TTR support preset functionality?
No-the M74HC73TTR implements only asynchronous clear (CLR), not preset (PRE). Its truth table confirms no PRE input; state initialization is achieved solely via CLR. For preset-capable dual J-K flip-flops, consider M74HC107 or SN74HC109, which include separate PRE̅ inputs.
What is the maximum capacitive load this device can drive reliably?
At VCC = 4.5V and TA = 25°C, M74HC73TTR maintains valid VOH/VOL levels driving up to 50pF (per AC test condition). With heavier loads (>100pF), propagation delay increases and rise/fall times degrade; external buffer drivers are recommended for >100pF or transmission-line routing.
Can M74HC73TTR operate at 3.3V supply?
Yes-it is fully specified from 2V to 6V, including 3.3V. At 3.3V, fMAX = 40MHz (min.), tPLH/tPHL ≈ 35ns (max), and VIH/VIL thresholds scale to 2.31V/1.09V (28% of 3.3V), ensuring reliable interfacing with 3.3V microcontrollers and FPGAs without level translation.
