Product details
Overview
M74HCT74B1R from STMicroelectronics is a high-speed CMOS dual D-type flip-flop with asynchronous preset and clear, fabricated in silicon gate C2MOS technology. It operates at up to 48 MHz (typ.) at VCC = 4.5 V, delivers symmetrical output drive (|IOH| = IOL = 4 mA min), and features balanced propagation delays (tPLH ≅ tPHL). It directly interfaces HSC2MOS systems with TTL/NMOS logic in clocked data storage applications.
For engineers reviewing the M74HCT74B1R datasheet, M74HCT74B1R pinout, M74HCT74B1R application, or M74HCT74B1R equivalent, key selection criteria include its 14-pin DIP package, TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.0 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V), guaranteed operation from –55 °C to +125 °C, and low quiescent current (ICC ≤ 2 µA at TA = 25 °C).
Technical Context
The M74HCT74B1R implements two independent edge-triggered D flip-flops, each with asynchronous active-low preset (PR) and clear (CLR) inputs that override clock and data. Its positive-edge-triggered clock (CK) transfers the D-input state to Q on the rising transition, while Q̅ provides the complement.
Designed for mixed-logic interfacing, it meets TTL voltage compatibility (VIH min = 2.0 V, VIL max = 0.8 V) and drives ±4 mA outputs symmetrically. Input protection circuits guard against ESD and transient overvoltage, supporting robust operation in industrial control and instrumentation environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| fMAX | 48 MHz (typ.) at VCC = 4.5 V - supports high-speed synchronous logic in timing-critical control paths |
| tPLH / tPHL | 21–50 ns (max) - ensures predictable, balanced signal delay between clock and Q/Q̅ transitions |
| VIL / VIH | 0.8 V (max) / 2.0 V (min) - guarantees reliable recognition of TTL-level inputs without level-shifting |
| IOL / IOH | 4 mA (min) - enables direct fan-out to multiple standard TTL loads |
| ICC (quiescent) | 2 µA (max) at TA = 25 °C - minimizes standby power in battery-backed or energy-sensitive systems |
| Operating Temp | –55 °C to +125 °C - qualified for extended industrial and automotive under-hood applications |
| Supply Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - aligns with standard 5 V logic rails and tolerates supply ripple |
Pinout & Package
Package: Plastic Dual In-line Package (DIP-14), 0.3" wide, lead pitch 2.54 mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 13 | 1CLR, 2CLR | Asynchronous active-low reset - forces Q = L, Q̅ = H independently of clock |
| 2, 12 | 1D, 2D | Data input - sampled on rising clock edge and latched to Q output |
| 3, 11 | 1CK, 2CK | Positive-edge-triggered clock - initiates data capture only on rising transition |
| 4, 10 | 1PR, 2PR | Asynchronous active-low preset - forces Q = H, Q̅ = L independently of clock |
| 5, 9 | 1Q, 2Q | True output - reflects latched D-state after clock edge or async control |
| 6, 8 | 1Q̅, 2Q̅ | Inverted output - complements Q; usable as feedback or differential signaling |
| 7 | GND | Ground reference - return path for all internal currents and logic thresholds |
| 14 | VCC | Positive supply - powers internal logic and output drivers at 4.5–5.5 V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| TTL-compatible inputs | VIH ≥ 2.0 V and VIL ≤ 0.8 V enable direct connection to legacy TTL without interface circuitry |
| Symmetrical output drive | IOH = IOL = 4 mA (min) ensures matched rise/fall times and consistent loading across logic families |
| Asynchronous control | Dedicated PR/CLR pins per flip-flop allow immediate state initialization or reset regardless of clock phase |
| High noise immunity | Input protection diodes and 10 pF typical CIN suppress transients and reduce coupling-induced glitches |
| Wide temperature range | Specified from –55 °C to +125 °C supports deployment in harsh environmental conditions |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74HCT74N | Same logic function, identical AC/DC specs, but TI's DIP-14 packaging uses different mold compound and lead finish | No functional difference; validated for same industrial temp range (–40 to +85 °C), not rated to –55 °C | Select when full –55 °C qualification is not required and TI supply chain preference applies |
| 74HCT74D | NXP variant in SO-14 package; identical electrical specs but 150 °C max junction rating vs. ST's 150 °C (same) | SO-14 footprint requires PCB redesign; thermal resistance differs due to package geometry | Select for space-constrained designs where surface-mount assembly is mandatory |
Compared with SN74HCT74N and 74HCT74D, the M74HCT74B1R uniquely supports –55 °C operation and uses ST's proprietary C2MOS process for lower leakage, making it preferred for extended-temperature industrial and aerospace upgrades.

FAQ
Is M74HCT74B1R compatible with 74LS74 in existing PCB layouts?
Yes - M74HCT74B1R uses the same DIP-14 package (P001A) and pinout as 74LS74, with identical pin numbering and function mapping. Electrical compatibility is ensured by TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.0 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V) and output drive capability (IOL/IOH ≥ 4 mA), allowing direct replacement without layout changes.
What is the maximum clock frequency supported across the full temperature range?
The M74HCT74B1R guarantees fMAX ≥ 22 MHz from –40 °C to +85 °C and ≥ 18 MHz from –55 °C to +125 °C, based on AC characterization with CL = 50 pF and input tr/tf ≤ 6 ns. At 25 °C and VCC = 4.5 V, typical operation reaches 48 MHz.
Does M74HCT74B1R require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on unused inputs?
No - all inputs feature internal protection diodes and have defined logic thresholds. However, floating inputs must be avoided: unused D, PR, or CLR pins should be tied to VCC or GND to prevent metastability or excessive ICC. The datasheet specifies II ≤ ±1 µA at VI = VCC/GND, confirming safe static biasing.
Can both flip-flops share the same clock signal while maintaining independent data and control?
Yes - the device contains two fully independent D flip-flops (1D/1CK/1PR/1CLR/1Q/1Q̅ and 2D/2CK/2PR/2CLR/2Q/2Q̅) sharing only VCC and GND. Each has dedicated control and data lines, enabling simultaneous but distinct operations - e.g., one stage synchronized to system clock, the other to an external event trigger.
