Product details
Overview
M74HCT74TTR from STMicroelectronics is a high-speed CMOS dual D-type flip-flop with asynchronous preset and clear, designed for edge-triggered synchronous logic in TTL-compatible digital systems. It operates at up to 48 MHz (typ.) at VCC = 4.5 V, features balanced propagation delays (tPLH ≅ tPHL), symmetrical output drive (±4 mA), and supports industrial temperature range (–55 °C to +125 °C). Used in clocked data latching, state machine control, and bus interface synchronization.
For engineers reviewing the M74HCT74TTR datasheet, M74HCT74TTR pinout, M74HCT74TTR application, or M74HCT74TTR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 14-pin TSSOP package, dual independent DFFs with asynchronous set/reset, guaranteed 4.5–5.5 V operation, TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VIH ≥ 2.0 V), and low quiescent current (ICC ≤ 2 µA at 25 °C).
Technical Context
The M74HCT74TTR implements two independent positive-edge-triggered D flip-flops, each with active-low asynchronous preset (PR) and clear (CLR) inputs that override clock and data. Its silicon gate C2MOS process ensures compatibility with TTL-level signals while maintaining CMOS power efficiency.
Propagation delay is tightly matched between rising and falling edges (tPLH/tPHL ≤ 50 ns max at VCC = 4.5 V), and output impedance is symmetrical (|IOH| = IOL ≥ 4 mA), enabling robust driving of capacitive loads and fan-out to multiple CMOS/TTL inputs without skew-induced timing violations.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - Ensures stable operation across standard 5 V supply rails with ±10% tolerance. |
| fMAX | 48 MHz (typ.) at VCC = 4.5 V - Supports high-speed data sampling and clock domain transfer in real-time control logic. |
| tPLH/tPHL | 21–50 ns (max) - Enables precise setup/hold timing margins in synchronous pipelines with minimal clock-to-Q skew. |
| IOH/IOL | ≥ 4 mA - Drives ≥10 LS-TTL loads or ≥20 HCMOS inputs without external buffering. |
| ICC (quiescent) | ≤ 2 µA at 25 °C - Allows use in low-power standby modes without significant battery drain. |
| Operating Temp | –55 °C to +125 °C - Qualified for automotive engine control units, industrial PLCs, and aerospace avionics. |
| VIH/VIL | ≥ 2.0 V / ≤ 0.8 V - Directly interfaces legacy 5 V TTL logic without level-shifting circuitry. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 14-lead TSSOP (Thin Shrink Small Outline Package), 4.9 × 6.4 mm body, 0.65 mm pitch, lead-free and RoHS-compliant per STMicroelectronics specification.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 13 | 1CLR, 2CLR | Active-low asynchronous reset - forces Q = L, Q̄ = H independently of clock or D input. |
| 2, 12 | 1D, 2D | Data input - sampled on rising clock edge and transferred to Q output. |
| 3, 11 | 1CK, 2CK | Positive-edge-triggered clock - initiates synchronous data capture only on LOW-to-HIGH transition. |
| 4, 10 | 1PR, 2PR | Active-low asynchronous preset - forces Q = H, Q̄ = L independently of clock or D input. |
| 5, 9 | 1Q, 2Q | True output - reflects stored D value after clock edge or asynchronous PR/CLR assertion. |
| 6, 8 | 1Q̄, 2Q̄ | Inverted output - complementary to Q, enabling direct implementation of toggle or JK-like behavior. |
| 7 | GND | Ground reference - must be connected to system 0 V plane with low-impedance path to minimize noise coupling. |
| 14 | VCC | Positive supply - decoupling capacitor (100 nF ceramic) required within 5 mm of pin for stable AC operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| TTL-compatible inputs | VIH ≥ 2.0 V and VIL ≤ 0.8 V enable direct connection to 74LS/74ALS families without pull-ups or level shifters. |
| Asynchronous control | Independent PR and CLR pins per flip-flop allow immediate state initialization or reset without waiting for clock edge. |
| Balanced propagation | tPLH ≅ tPHL minimizes duty cycle distortion when used in clock division or pulse shaping circuits. |
| Low power consumption | 2 µA max ICC at 25 °C enables integration into always-on monitoring subsystems with microamp-level budget constraints. |
| Wide temperature range | –55 °C to +125 °C operation supports deployment in under-hood automotive ECUs and outdoor industrial controllers. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Expansion | Automotive Body Control Module |
|---|---|

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Synchronizes asynchronous microcontroller GPIO outputs to system clock domain before driving isolation drivers. Use Value: Guaranteed 48 MHz fMAX supports sub-microsecond response; low ICC reduces thermal load in sealed enclosures. | Use Scenario: Building programmable logic sequences for stimulus generation in boundary-scan or functional test fixtures. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Forms basic shift register or state register stage in custom pattern engines where pin count and speed are constrained. Use Value: TSSOP-14 footprint saves PCB area vs. DIP/SO-14; symmetrical drive strength ensures clean waveform edges into 50 Ω test loads. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74HCT74DR | Same logic function, SOIC-14 package; slightly higher max ICC (4 µA vs. 2 µA) and lower fMAX (36 MHz typ. at 4.5 V). | SOIC footprint requires larger board area; better suited for prototyping or through-hole assembly. | Select when SOIC handling or legacy board compatibility is prioritized over space-constrained layouts. |
| 74LVC74AD,118 | 3.3 V only (1.65–3.6 V); faster tPLH/tPHL (2.5 ns typ.); no TTL input compatibility (VIH = 2.0 V min only at VCC = 3.3 V). | Requires level translation for 5 V systems; optimized for modern low-voltage FPGAs and microcontrollers. | Select only in new 3.3 V designs where power and speed outweigh legacy interface needs. |
Compared with SN74HCT74DR and 74LVC74AD,118, the M74HCT74TTR uniquely balances 5 V TTL interoperability, ultra-low quiescent current, and TSSOP space efficiency-making it optimal for cost-sensitive, thermally constrained, and mixed-voltage industrial control modules.

FAQ
Is M74HCT74TTR pin-compatible with standard 74LS74 devices?
Yes, M74HCT74TTR is pin- and function-compatible with 74LS74 and other 74-series dual D-type flip-flops in the same 14-pin TSSOP package. Its pinout matches the industry-standard arrangement for dual DFFs, including identical placement of VCC, GND, CLK, D, PR, CLR, Q, and Q̄ terminals. No PCB redesign is needed when upgrading from LS to HCT technology.
What is the maximum capacitive load this device can drive reliably?
M74HCT74TTR guarantees 4 mA output drive (IOL/|IOH|) into resistive loads, supporting up to 50 pF total load capacitance with specified AC performance (tPLH, tPHL, fMAX). For heavier loads (>50 pF), propagation delays increase linearly; design margin requires derating fMAX by ~10 MHz per additional 20 pF beyond CL = 50 pF.
Does this part support hot insertion or live insertion into powered backplanes?
No, M74HCT74TTR is not hot-plug rated. Its absolute maximum ratings specify VI and VO limits relative to GND and VCC, and no built-in current-limiting or precharge circuitry is provided. Applying VCC or signals before establishing GND connection risks latch-up or permanent damage due to uncontrolled current paths through internal protection diodes.
Can both preset and clear be asserted simultaneously on the same flip-flop?
Yes, asserting both PR and CLR low simultaneously results in an undefined output state (Q and Q̄ may both go high briefly), but the device recovers predictably upon release: the next clock edge determines final Q state based on D input. This condition is electrically safe and does not damage the IC, though system-level logic should avoid simultaneous assertion to prevent transient glitches.
