Product details
Overview
M74HC74TTR from STMicroelectronics is a high-speed CMOS dual D-type flip-flop with independent asynchronous preset and clear, edge-triggered on the rising clock transition, operating from 2V to 6V supply, with tPLH/tPHL ≤ 26 ns (VCC = 6V), IOH/IOL ≥ 4 mA, and fMAX = 67 MHz (typ.) - used in synchronous logic control, clock domain synchronization, and data latching in industrial PLC I/O modules.
For engineers reviewing the M74HC74TTR datasheet, M74HC74TTR pinout, M74HC74TTR application, or M74HC74TTR equivalent, key selection criteria include propagation delay symmetry, rail-to-rail input noise immunity (VNIH/VNIL = 28% VCC min), guaranteed 4 mA drive strength at 6V, and TSSOP-14 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The M74HC74TTR implements two independent edge-triggered D flip-flops using silicon gate C2MOS technology, each with separate asynchronous active-low preset (PR) and clear (CLR) inputs that override clock and data. Its symmetrical output impedance ensures matched rise/fall times (tTLH ≈ tTHL) and balanced propagation delays (tPLH ≅ tPHL).
It supports wide-voltage operation (2–6 V), delivers rail-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 3.15 V @ 4.5 V, VIL = 1.35 V @ 4.5 V), and maintains low quiescent current (ICC = 2 µA max @ TA = 25°C), enabling use in battery-backed or low-power control subsystems without sacrificing speed.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2 V to 6 V - enables direct interface with 3.3 V and 5 V logic families without level shifters |
| fMAX | 67 MHz (typ. @ VCC = 6 V) - supports high-speed state machine clocking up to ~15 ns cycle time |
| tPLH / tPHL | 13 ns / 13 ns (typ. @ VCC = 6 V, CL = 50 pF) - ensures deterministic setup/hold timing in synchronous pipelines |
| IOH / IOL | –4.0 mA / +4.0 mA (min. @ VCC = 4.5 V) - drives standard TTL loads or multiple 74HC inputs directly |
| VNIH / VNIL | 28 % VCC (min.) - provides robust noise margin against EMI in industrial control environments |
| ICC (Quiescent) | 2 µA (max. @ TA = 25°C) - suitable for always-on monitoring circuits with µA-level power budgets |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-14 package: 4.9 × 6.4 mm body, 0.65 mm pitch, 1.2 mm height, lead-free, moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL1).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 13 | 1CLR, 2CLR | Asynchronous active-low reset - forces Q = 0, Q̅ = 1 regardless of clock or D state |
| 2, 12 | 1D, 2D | Data input - sampled on rising edge of corresponding clock; determines next-state Q output |
| 3, 11 | 1CK, 2CK | Positive-edge-triggered clock - initiates state update only on LOW→HIGH transition |
| 4, 10 | 1PR, 2PR | Asynchronous active-low preset - forces Q = 1, Q̅ = 0 independently of clock or D |
| 5, 9 | 1Q, 2Q | True output - reflects stored D value after clock edge or asynchronous PR/CLR assertion |
| 6, 8 | 1Q̅, 2Q̅ | Inverted output - complementary to Q; usable as feedback or differential signaling pair |
| 7 | GND | Ground reference - return path for all internal logic and I/O currents |
| 14 | VCC | Positive supply - powers all gates and output drivers; must be decoupled locally |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Symmetrical output drive | |IOH| = IOL = 4 mA min - eliminates skew between rising/falling edges in bus-driving applications |
| Balanced propagation delays | tPLH ≅ tPHL (≤ 26 ns diff @ 6 V) - critical for glitch-free sampling in dual-edge-sensitive systems |
| High noise immunity | VNIH = VNIL = 28 % VCC min - rejects >1 V peak noise on 5 V rails without false triggering |
| Wide voltage operation | 2–6 V supply range - interoperable across legacy 5 V and modern 3.3 V microcontroller I/O domains |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Input Latching | Serial-to-Parallel Data Capture |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Capturing momentary sensor signals (e.g., limit switches, photoelectric triggers) in noisy factory environments. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual D flip-flop latches synchronized to system clock, holding input state until CPU read cycle. Use Value: Asynchronous CLR/PR allows hardware-initiated reset on fault detection; 28% VCC noise margin prevents spurious toggling. | Use Scenario: Converting serial bitstream from UART or SPI peripheral into parallel byte for MCU GPIO read. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Two-stage shift register stage - first FF captures bit, second FF holds stable byte-aligned output. Use Value: Matched tPLH/tPHL ensures clean byte boundary alignment; 4 mA drive supports direct connection to 8-bit MCU port pins. |
| Motor Control State Synchronization | Power Sequencing Logic |
Use Scenario: Aligning enable/disable commands between isolated MCU and gate driver ICs across different supply domains. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Synchronizer for asynchronous control signals crossing clock domains (e.g., 100 MHz MCU → 10 MHz motor PWM timer). Use Value: Dual FF structure provides metastability hardening; 67 MHz fMAX accommodates fast handshake protocols. | Use Scenario: Generating sequenced enable signals for multi-rail power supplies (e.g., 12 V → 5 V → 3.3 V → 1.8 V). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Edge-triggered storage element in discrete sequencing logic, replacing microcontroller-based soft sequencing. Use Value: Asynchronous PR/CLR allows manual override or fault-induced shutdown; 2 µA ICC enables always-on sequencing monitor. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74HC74DR | Same logic function, SOIC-14 package (3.9 × 8.7 mm), higher ICC (40 µA max @ –55°C to 125°C) | Less suitable for ultra-low-power designs; better thermal dissipation in high-ambient environments | Select when board space permits larger SOIC and long-term reliability under thermal cycling is prioritized |
| 74LVC74ABQ | 3.3 V only (1.65–3.6 V), lower VCC range, faster tPD (2.5 ns typ. @ 3.3 V), smaller XSON-14 package | Not compatible with 5 V systems; requires level translation if interfacing with legacy 5 V peripherals | Select for compact, high-speed 3.3 V-only designs where 5 V tolerance is unnecessary |
Compared with SN74HC74DR and 74LVC74ABQ, the M74HC74TTR uniquely balances 2–6 V interoperability, TSSOP-14 footprint efficiency, and sub-µA static current - making it optimal for mixed-voltage industrial control boards needing layout density and supply flexibility.

FAQ
Is M74HC74TTR compatible with 5 V TTL inputs?
Yes - its VIH threshold is 3.15 V (min.) at VCC = 4.5 V and 4.2 V (min.) at VCC = 6 V, exceeding TTL's 2.0 V high-level requirement. It accepts standard 5 V TTL outputs directly without level shifting, provided VCC is set to 5 V or 6 V.
What is the minimum pulse width required on CLR and PR inputs?
At VCC = 6 V, the minimum pulse width for CLR and PR is 6 ns (typ.) and 16 ns (max.) over –55°C to +125°C. This ensures reliable asynchronous assertion even in fast transient conditions, verified per AC electrical characteristics table on page 5 of the official datasheet.
Does M74HC74TTR support hot insertion or live insertion?
No - it lacks Ioff protection or power-off isolation. Applying input signals while VCC is unpowered may cause latch-up or excessive ICC due to internal diode conduction. Always power VCC before applying logic signals, per Absolute Maximum Ratings (VI = –0.5 V to VCC + 0.5 V).
Can both Q and Q̅ outputs drive separate loads simultaneously?
Yes - each output is fully buffered and rated for ±4 mA (min.) at VCC = 4.5 V. Driving independent loads (e.g., one to MCU input, one to LED indicator) is supported, but total capacitive load per output should remain ≤ 50 pF to maintain specified tPLH/tPHL and avoid ringing.
