Product details
Overview
M74HC74B1R from STMicroelectronics is a high-speed CMOS dual D-type flip-flop with independent asynchronous preset and clear, operating across 2V–6V supply, delivering tPLH/tPHL ≈ 13 ns (typ. at VCC = 6V), fMAX = 67 MHz (typ.), and symmetrical 4 mA output drive. It serves as edge-triggered storage logic in synchronous digital systems such as clock domain synchronization and state machine registers.
For engineers reviewing the M74HC74B1R datasheet, M74HC74B1R pinout, M74HC74B1R application, or M74HC74B1R equivalent, key selection criteria include propagation delay matching, asynchronous control timing margins, supply voltage flexibility, and DIP-14 mechanical compatibility for legacy board layouts.
Technical Context
The device implements two independent positive-edge-triggered D flip-flops, each with active-low asynchronous set (PR) and reset (CLR) inputs that override clock and data. Its C2MOS silicon gate process enables low ICC = 2 µA (max) at 25°C while maintaining noise immunity of ≥28% VCC.
All inputs feature ESD protection; outputs exhibit balanced |IOH| = IOL = 4 mA (min) drive capability and matched tPLH ≅ tPHL propagation delays. Input rise/fall time limits are specified per VCC (e.g., ≤400 ns at 6V), ensuring reliable edge detection under real-world signal integrity conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2 V to 6 V - supports mixed-voltage system interfacing and battery-powered operation down to 2 V. |
| fMAX | 67 MHz (typ. at VCC = 6 V) - enables use in high-speed control sequencers and data latching up to ~15 ns clock period. |
| tPLH / tPHL | 13 ns (typ. at VCC = 6 V, CL = 50 pF) - ensures tight setup/hold timing budgets in synchronous pipelines. |
| IOH / IOL | –4 mA / +4 mA (min) - drives standard TTL loads and multiple 74HC inputs without buffering. |
| VNIH / VNIL | ≥28% VCC (min) - provides robust noise margin against ground bounce and crosstalk in dense PCB layouts. |
| ICC (Quiescent) | 2 µA (max at TA = 25°C) - minimizes standby power in always-on logic monitoring circuits. |
| ts / th | 3 ns setup / 0 ns hold (at VCC = 6 V) - simplifies timing closure with minimal data-to-clock skew constraints. |
Pinout & Package
Package: Plastic Dual In-line Package (DIP-14), 20.0 mm × 8.5 mm body, 2.54 mm lead pitch, through-hole mounting.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 13 | 1CLR, 2CLR | Active-low asynchronous reset - forces Q = L, Q̄ = H independent of clock; requires pull-up for static high. |
| 2, 12 | 1D, 2D | Data input - sampled on rising clock edge; latched value appears at Q after tPLH/tPHL. |
| 3, 11 | 1CK, 2CK | Positive-edge-triggered clock - transition from L to H initiates sampling; minimum pulse width = 6 ns (at 6 V). |
| 4, 10 | 1PR, 2PR | Active-low asynchronous preset - forces Q = H, Q̄ = L independent of clock; overrides D and CK. |
| 5, 9 | 1Q, 2Q | True output - complements Q̄; fan-out limited by IOH/IOL and capacitive load. |
| 6, 8 | 1Q̄, 2Q̄ | Inverted output - complements Q; electrically identical to Q in drive strength and timing. |
| 7 | GND | Ground reference - must be low-impedance connection to minimize switching noise coupling. |
| 14 | VCC | Positive supply - bypassing with 100 nF ceramic capacitor near pin is mandatory for stable AC operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent flip-flops | Two fully isolated storage cells share only VCC/GND - enables compact dual-channel register design without inter-cell timing dependency. |
| Asynchronous preset/clear | PR and CLR assert within tPLH ≈ 13 ns (6 V) - allows immediate state initialization prior to clock enable in boot-up or fault recovery sequences. |
| Supply voltage range | 2 V–6 V operation - interoperable with 3.3 V microcontrollers and 5 V legacy peripherals without level shifters. |
| High noise immunity | VNIH/VNIL ≥ 28% VCC - tolerates ≥1.68 V noise on 6 V rails, reducing false triggering in industrial EMI environments. |
| Low quiescent current | ICC ≤ 2 µA at 25°C - extends battery life in portable logic monitors and sensor interface wake-up controllers. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Modules | Digital Power Supply Sequencing |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Capturing status signals from isolated field sensors before CPU readout in cyclic scan mode. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Edge-triggered data latch synchronizing asynchronous sensor interrupts to the PLC's deterministic scan clock.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Asynchronous state controller holding enable signals until upstream rail reaches regulation threshold. Use Value: Independent PR/CLR allows hard-wired power-good assertion without clock dependency, improving startup reliability. |
| Legacy Test Equipment Control Logic | Automotive Body Control Unit Registers |
Use Scenario: Storing test pattern bits in automated functional testers where DIP-14 sockets simplify field-replaceable logic modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Static register bank holding stimulus vectors synchronized to tester master clock. Use Value: DIP-14 package enables socket-based reconfiguration; 67 MHz fMAX supports >10 MHz pattern rates. | Use Scenario: Latching door lock/unlock commands from LIN bus transceivers in low-power sleep/wake cycles. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-ICC storage element retaining command state across microcontroller deep-sleep modes. Use Value: 2 µA max quiescent current prevents battery drain; 2 V min VCC supports operation during cranking voltage dips. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74HC74N | Same pinout, identical AC/DC specs, TI-branded DIP-14 variant; tPLH/tPHL = 15 ns (typ. at 6 V). | Qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 3; preferred for automotive production where TI sourcing is mandated. | Select when requiring TI-specific qualification documentation or dual-source procurement strategy. |
| 74HC74D | SO-14 surface-mount package; same logic function but no DIP-14 mechanical compatibility. | Designed for space-constrained PCBs; lacks through-hole serviceability and socket-based prototyping support. | Select when board area is constrained and rework via hot-air station is acceptable. |
Compared with SN74HC74N and 74HC74D, M74HC74B1R uniquely combines DIP-14 through-hole mountability, STMicroelectronics' extended –55°C to +125°C operating range, and documented 2 µA max ICC - making it optimal for industrial field equipment requiring serviceability and wide-temperature reliability.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by M74HC74B1R?
The M74HC74B1R supports a maximum clock frequency of 67 MHz (typical) at VCC = 6 V and CL = 50 pF, with guaranteed minimum fMAX = 30 MHz across the full –55°C to +125°C operating range. This rating assumes clean 6 ns input rise/fall times and proper power supply decoupling.
Can M74HC74B1R operate reliably at 3.3 V?
Yes - M74HC74B1R is fully specified from 2 V to 6 V, including 3.3 V operation. At VCC = 3.3 V, it delivers tPLH/tPHL ≤ 38 ns (max), fMAX ≥ 25 MHz, and VIH ≥ 2.31 V, making it interoperable with 3.3 V microcontrollers and FPGAs without level translation.
Does M74HC74B1R require external pull-up resistors on PR and CLR pins?
Yes - PR and CLR are active-low inputs with no internal pull-ups. To prevent unintended reset or preset during power-up or floating states, external 10 kΩ pull-up resistors to VCC are required unless actively driven low by system logic.
Is M74HC74B1R RoHS compliant and halogen-free?
Yes - M74HC74B1R (DIP-14 package) conforms to RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and is manufactured as a halogen-free device per IEC 61249-2-21, with lead finish composed of matte tin over nickel underplate and no intentionally added antimony or phosphorus flame retardants.
