Product details
Overview
M74HCT174RM13TR from STMicroelectronics is a high-speed CMOS hex D-type flip-flop with asynchronous clear, operating up to 56 MHz (typ.) at VCC = 4.5 V, featuring TTL-compatible inputs (VIH ≥ 2.0 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V), symmetrical 4 mA output drive, and balanced tPLH/tPHL propagation delays. It is used in synchronous data latching and register staging within digital control logic, such as industrial PLC I/O modules.
For engineers reviewing the M74HCT174RM13TR datasheet, M74HCT174RM13TR pinout, M74HCT174RM13TR application, or M74HCT174RM13TR equivalent, key selection criteria include clock frequency margin, clear timing robustness, input/output voltage compatibility with legacy TTL systems, and TSSOP-16 footprint constraints for high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The device implements six independent edge-triggered D flip-flops sharing a common clock and asynchronous active-low clear. Each stage transfers D-input data to Q-output on the rising edge of CK, with no internal feedback or preset functionality.
It uses silicon gate C2MOS technology for low static power (ICC ≤ 4 µA at 25°C) and robust ESD protection on all pins. Input thresholds and output drive are fully specified across –55°C to +125°C, supporting extended industrial operation without derating.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - Ensures stable operation with standard 5 V logic rails and ±5% supply tolerance. |
| fMAX | 56 MHz (typ.) at VCC = 4.5 V - Supports high-throughput data capture in real-time control loops. |
| tPLH/tPHL | 28 ns (max) at VCC = 4.5 V - Enables precise timing alignment between parallel register stages. |
| IOH/IOL | ±4 mA (min) - Drives standard TTL loads or multiple 74HCT inputs without buffering. |
| VIH/VIL | 2.0 V (min) / 0.8 V (max) - Guarantees interoperability with legacy 5 V TTL outputs. |
| Operating Temp | –55°C to +125°C - Qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial motor drive environments. |
| ICC (quiescent) | 4 µA (max) at 25°C - Minimizes standby power in battery-backed or energy-sensitive systems. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-16 package: 4.4 mm × 5.0 mm body, 0.65 mm pitch, 1.2 mm height, lead-free and RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | CLEAR | Asynchronous active-low master reset - forces all Q outputs low regardless of clock or data state. |
| 2,5,7,10,12,15 | Q0–Q5 | True outputs of six D flip-flops - provide registered data storage synchronized to CK rising edge. |
| 3,4,6,11,13,14 | D0–D5 | Data inputs - sampled only on CK rising edge; unaffected by CLEAR when high. |
| 9 | CLOCK | Rising-edge-triggered clock - initiates synchronous transfer from Dn to Qn. |
| 8 | GND | Reference ground - must be low-impedance return path for all switching currents. |
| 16 | VCC | Positive supply - powers internal logic and output drivers; requires local 100 nF decoupling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| TTL-compatible input thresholds | Enables direct interfacing with 74LS/74F outputs without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Symmetrical 4 mA output drive | Supports fan-out of ≥10 74HCT inputs or driving 50 Ω transmission lines with controlled edge rates. |
| Balanced tPLH/tPHL | Reduces skew between parallel register outputs, critical for multi-bit bus synchronization. |
| Asynchronous clear with no setup/hold dependency | Allows immediate register reset during fault conditions without waiting for clock edge or data stability. |
| Extended temperature range (–55°C to +125°C) | Validates operation in uncontrolled ambient environments like motor control enclosures or outdoor telecom cabinets. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Register | Automotive Body Control Module |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Latching sensor status (e.g., door open/closed, brake pedal position) before scanning by microcontroller. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Synchronous data register holding parallel inputs until next scan cycle; CLEAR resets on system power-up or error recovery. Use Value: Eliminates metastability risk via edge-triggered sampling and ensures deterministic reset behavior across wide temperature ranges. | Use Scenario: Staging switch commands (e.g., window up/down, mirror fold/unfold) prior to PWM driver activation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Hex D flip-flop providing glitch-free command hold with simultaneous reset capability across all channels. Use Value: Prevents spurious actuation during MCU boot or CAN message retransmission by enforcing clean state initialization. |
| Test Equipment Pattern Generator | Legacy System Bus Interface |
Use Scenario: Generating repeatable digital stimulus waveforms for IC functional testing using FPGA-controlled clocking. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-speed data latch synchronizing pattern bits to test clock domain; fMAX ≥ 56 MHz supports >20 Mbps vector rates. Use Value: Delivers sub-30 ns propagation delay consistency across all six bits, minimizing inter-channel skew in multi-bit test vectors. | Use Scenario: Interfacing modern microcontrollers to legacy 74LS-based address/data latches in retro-computing or instrumentation upgrades. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Drop-in replacement for 74LS174 with identical pinout and function, leveraging HCT's lower power and higher noise immunity. Use Value: Maintains full timing compatibility while reducing board-level power dissipation by >90% versus original bipolar implementation. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar hex D-type flip-flop with clear applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74HCT174PWR | Same logic function and AC specs; SOIC-16 package (4.4 mm × 9.9 mm), larger footprint than TSSOP. | Preferred where hand-soldering or socketing is required; less suitable for space-constrained boards. | Select when mechanical robustness or reworkability outweighs density requirements. |
| 74VHC174FT | Higher VCC range (2–5.5 V); lower ICC (1 µA typ.), but reduced drive (±8 mA) and no guaranteed TTL compatibility below 4.5 V. | Used in mixed-voltage systems (e.g., 3.3 V logic with 5 V peripherals); not drop-in for pure 5 V TTL interfaces. | Select only if supply flexibility or ultra-low quiescent current is prioritized over guaranteed 5 V TTL interoperability. |
Compared with SN74HCT174PWR and 74VHC174FT, the M74HCT174RM13TR uniquely combines TSSOP-16 compactness, guaranteed 5 V TTL compatibility, and industrial temperature support - making it optimal for high-density, mission-critical 5 V control logic.

FAQ
Is M74HCT174RM13TR pin-compatible with 74LS174?
Yes - it features identical pinout, logic function, and DC/AC timing specifications to the 74LS174, including TTL-compatible input thresholds and same 16-pin TSSOP footprint. No PCB redesign is needed for drop-in replacement in existing 5 V systems.
What is the minimum pulse width required on the CLEAR input?
The minimum CLEAR pulse width is 15 ns (max) over –40°C to +85°C at VCC = 4.5 V. This ensures reliable asynchronous reset even under fast transient conditions, such as power-on sequencing or fault recovery in real-time controllers.
Does M74HCT174RM13TR support hot insertion?
No - the device lacks hot-swap protection circuitry. Applying VCC while signals are present may exceed absolute maximum ratings. Power sequencing must ensure VCC is stable before applying input signals or clock edges.
Can unused D inputs be left floating?
No - unused D inputs must be tied to VCC or GND. Floating inputs cause increased ICC, potential oscillation, and ESD vulnerability due to undefined CMOS gate bias. Internal protection diodes do not eliminate this risk.
