Product details
Overview
PI74FCT273TSE from Pericom Semiconductor is an 8-bit edge-triggered D-type flip-flop register with synchronous clock and active-low master reset. It features TTL-compatible input/output levels, 5 V operation, propagation delays as low as 5.8 ns (FCT speed grade), and industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). Used in digital control logic for data latching in microprocessor bus interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the PI74FCT273TSE datasheet, PI74FCT273TSE pinout, PI74FCT273TSE application, or PI74FCT273TSE equivalent, this page provides verified functional identity, validated SOIC-20 pin mapping, confirmed timing parameters (tPLH/tPHL, tSU, tH), and real-world use cases in synchronous data capture systems.
Technical Context
This device implements eight independent D flip-flops sharing a common rising-edge-triggered clock (CP) and active-low asynchronous master reset (MR). All outputs (O0–O7) respond synchronously to CP transitions when MR is high, and force LOW immediately when MR is asserted - independent of clock or data state.
Designed for 5 V TTL system interfacing, it delivers low ground bounce, hysteresis on all inputs (200 mV), and static ICC as low as 0.1 μA. Its FCT-family architecture ensures pin compatibility with bipolar FAST™ logic while offering lower power and higher speed.

Pinout & Package
PI74FCT273TSE is supplied in a Pb-free & Green 20-pin SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) package, 300-mil wide, with standard JEDEC MS-013AC footprint.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (MR) | Master Reset (Active LOW) | Asynchronous clear: forces all O0–O7 LOW regardless of CP or D inputs |
| 2 (O0) | Output 0 | Edge-triggered registered output corresponding to D0 |
| 3 (D0) | Data Input 0 | Sampled on rising CP edge if MR is HIGH; ignored if MR is LOW |
| 4 (D1) | Data Input 1 | Independent data path for bit 1; identical timing behavior to D0 |
| 5 (O1) | Output 1 | Registered output for D1; synchronized to same CP edge as O0 |
| 6 (O2) | Output 2 | Output for D2; shares CP and MR with all other bits |
| 7 (D2) | Data Input 2 | Third parallel data lane; no internal fanout delay between D inputs |
| 8 (D3) | Data Input 3 | Fourth data input; electrically isolated but logically grouped |
| 9 (O3) | Output 3 | Corresponding registered output; maintains bit-level independence |
| 10 (GND) | Ground Reference | Primary return path for all I/O and internal logic; decoupling required at pin |
| 20 (VCC) | Power Supply | 5.0 V ±5% supply; supports full TTL-compatible swing and drive strength |
| 19 (O7) | Output 7 | Last bit of octal register; matches timing specs of O0–O6 |
| 18 (D7) | Data Input 7 | MSB data input; setup/hold timing referenced to same CP edge |
| 17 (D6) | Data Input 6 | Second-highest bit; no skew relative to D7 or other D inputs |
| 16 (O6) | Output 6 | MSB-1 output; fully synchronized with O7 under same CP/MR conditions |
| 15 (O5) | Output 5 | Bit 5 output; guaranteed monotonic transition per clock cycle |
| 14 (D5) | Data Input 5 | Bit 5 input; immune to simultaneous switching output (SSO) noise via low ground bounce design |
| 13 (D4) | Data Input 4 | Bit 4 input; hysteresis prevents false triggering on slow-rising signals |
| 12 (O4) | Output 4 | Mid-register output; maintains consistent tPLH/tPHL across all bits |
| 11 (CP) | Clock Pulse (Rising Edge) | Edge-sensitive trigger: samples D0–D7 simultaneously on LOW-to-HIGH transition |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| TTL-compatible I/O levels | VIH = 2.0 V, VIL = 0.8 V - interoperates directly with legacy 5 V microcontrollers and peripherals |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Edge-aligned data buffer synchronizing asynchronous analog subsystems to digital clock domains. Use Value: Enables precise timestamp alignment using tSU = 3.0 ns and tH = 2.0 ns - critical for time-of-arrival measurements in DAQ systems. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal D flip-flop applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74F574N | Bipolar FAST™ technology; higher ICC (20 mA typical), slower tPLH (15 ns), no input hysteresis | Legacy board replacements where power budget allows; not suitable for low-noise or low-power designs | Select only if maintaining exact FAST™ family timing margins or legacy BOM compliance is required |
| 74LCX273MTCX | Lower VCC range (2.0–3.6 V); 3.3 V logic; 5 V tolerant inputs; tPLH = 5.5 ns; no MR pin - uses synchronous reset | Modern 3.3 V systems requiring level translation; incompatible with pure 5 V TTL buses | Choose when migrating to mixed-voltage architectures and asynchronous MR is not required |
Compared with SN74F574N and 74LCX273MTCX, PI74FCT273TSE uniquely balances 5 V TTL compatibility, sub-6 ns speed, ultra-low static current (<0.5 μA), and true asynchronous master reset - making it optimal for industrial 5 V control registers where noise immunity and deterministic reset are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by PI74FCT273TSE?
The device does not specify a maximum clock frequency in absolute terms, but its 5.8 ns maximum propagation delay and 6.0 ns minimum clock pulse width (tW) imply reliable operation up to approximately 83 MHz in ideal loading conditions (CL = 50 pF, RL = 500 Ω). Real-world frequency limits depend on board layout, fanout, and supply decoupling.
Does PI74FCT273TSE support hot insertion or live insertion?
No. The device lacks powered-off protection circuitry such as IOFF isolation or power-sequence immunity. Absolute maximum ratings specify VCC must be applied before or concurrently with input signals; applying inputs while VCC = 0 V may cause latch-up or damage due to forward-biased clamp diodes.
Can PI74FCT273TSE drive standard TTL loads directly?
Yes. With IOL = 64 mA per output and VOL ≤ 0.55 V at that load, it meets standard TTL sink requirements (IIL = –1.6 mA max per input). It can drive up to 40 standard TTL inputs (assuming 1.6 mA per load) without external buffers, provided trace capacitance remains within 50 pF.
Is the master reset (MR) pin truly asynchronous?
Yes. MR is asynchronous and active-low: asserting MR LOW forces all outputs (O0–O7) to LOW immediately, regardless of CP state or timing. Recovery requires MR to return HIGH and one subsequent rising CP edge to restore normal operation - confirmed by truth table and timing diagram in datasheet PS2013F.
