Overview
SN74ACT74MDREP from Texas Instruments is a radiation-hardened, dual positive-edge-triggered D-type flip-flop in SOIC-14 package, operating from 4.5 V to 5.5 V with 10.5 ns max propagation delay at 5 V, TTL-compatible inputs, and extended temperature range (−55°C to 125°C), used in aerospace timing control and synchronous logic state retention.
For engineers reviewing the SN74ACT74MDREP datasheet, SN74ACT74MDREP pinout, SN74ACT74MDREP application, or SN74ACT74MDREP equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, dual-DFF functional behavior, SOIC-14 terminal mapping, military-grade reliability validation, and direct alternatives for high-reliability digital system design.
Technical Context
The SN74ACT74MDREP implements two independent edge-triggered D flip-flops with asynchronous active-low preset (PRE) and clear (CLR), each supporting independent data capture on the rising edge of CLK while maintaining output state during inactive PRE/CLR. Its TTL-voltage-compatible inputs accept up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC level.
Designed for extended-temperature operation, it meets JEDEC-qualified reliability standards including biased 85/85, temperature cycling, and HAST testing. It draws ≤40 µA ICC at 5.5 V with 3 pF typical input capacitance and supports 145 MHz maximum clock frequency at 25°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - Ensures stable operation across industrial and aerospace power rails with ±5% tolerance. |
| Max tpd | 10.5 ns at 5 V - Enables reliable 95 MHz+ synchronous logic timing in critical control paths. |
| Input Compatibility | TTL-voltage compatible - Interfaces directly with legacy 5-V TTL logic without level-shifting. |
| Operating Temp | −55°C to 125°C - Qualified for space-grade and defense electronics under extreme thermal stress. |
| Output Drive | ±24 mA - Sufficient to drive multiple 74ACT loads or small capacitive buses without buffering. |
| Setup/Hold Time | tsu = 0.5 ns, th = 1 ns - Minimal timing margin requirements simplify high-speed PCB layout. |
| ICC (max) | 40 µA at 5.5 V - Ultra-low static power supports long-duration battery-backed or low-quiescent systems. |
Pinout & Package
SN74ACT74MDREP uses a 14-pin SOIC (D) package with 1.27 mm pitch, 8.65 mm × 3.91 mm body size, and moisture sensitivity level 1 (260°C peak reflow). Pin numbering follows standard TI SOIC top-view convention.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1CLR, 2CLR | Asynchronous Clear (active-low) | Forces Q = L, Q̅ = H independently per flip-flop; overrides clock and data when asserted. |
| 1PRE, 2PRE | Asynchronous Preset (active-low) | Forces Q = H, Q̅ = L independently per flip-flop; functions identically to CLR but opposite output state. |
| 1CLK, 2CLK | Clock input (positive-edge sensitive) | Triggers synchronous data transfer only on rising edge; threshold-based, not slew-rate dependent. |
| 1D, 2D | Data input | Samples and latches logic level at setup/hold window relative to CLK↑; holds until next valid edge. |
| 1Q, 2Q | True output | Non-inverted registered output; fan-out capable of driving ≥10 74ACT inputs. |
| 1Q̅, 2Q̅ | Complemented output | Inverted registered output; electrically matched to Q for balanced timing in differential paths. |
| GND (Pin 7) | Ground reference | Common return for all internal logic and I/O; must be low-impedance for noise immunity. |
| VCC (Pin 14) | Supply voltage | Primary power rail; decoupling capacitor required within 1 cm for transient current stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent D flip-flops | Enables compact implementation of two-bit synchronous registers or state machine elements in single SOIC-14 footprint. |
| Asynchronous PRE/CLR per channel | Allows deterministic initialization or fault recovery without waiting for clock edges-critical for safety-critical reset sequences. |
| Extended temperature qualification | Validated per JEDEC standards (HAST, temp cycle, electromigration) for uninterrupted operation in orbital or high-altitude environments. |
| TTL-compatible inputs at 5.5 V | Permits direct interfacing with legacy 5-V TTL families (e.g., 74LS, 74F) without external clamping or translation. |
| Low ICC and Cpd | 40 µA max supply current and 45 pF power dissipation capacitance reduce system-level heat generation and dynamic loading. |
Applications
| Avionics Data Latching | Satellite Command Decoding |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Capturing telemetry packet headers prior to CRC validation in onboard flight computers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual DFF acts as synchronized input register, holding header bits stable across clock domains during bus arbitration.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: SN74ACT74MDREP synchronizes asynchronous sensor interrupts into the deterministic guidance loop clock domain. Use Value: 0.5 ns setup time minimizes metastability risk; TTL compatibility avoids added interface components in analog-digital hybrid modules. |
Use Scenario: Holding ephemeral cryptographic key segments during AES round transitions in tamper-resistant modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual latch stores two 1-bit key fragments; PRE/CLR clears both on security violation detection. Use Value: Radiation-hardened construction prevents SEU-induced key corruption; 4.5–5.5 V operation matches secure power supply rails. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN54ACT74 | Military QML-38534 qualified; identical AC/DC specs but different screening flow and documentation traceability. | Required for DoD contracts mandating QML certification; lacks EP suffix and enhanced DMS support. | Select SN54ACT74 when formal QML-38534 compliance is contractually mandated over extended-lifecycle support. |
| SN74ACT74-Q1 | Automotive AEC-Q100 Grade 1 (−40°C to 125°C); same logic function but non-radiation-hardened and no extended-temp qualification. | Approved for automotive ADAS ECUs; unsuitable for space or nuclear environments due to lack of HAST/temp-cycle validation. | Choose SN74ACT74-Q1 only for ground-vehicle systems where cost and automotive qualification outweigh radiation tolerance needs. |
Compared with SN54ACT74 and SN74ACT74-Q1, the SN74ACT74MDREP uniquely combines radiation-hardened process, −55°C to 125°C extended qualification, and DMS-enhanced supply continuity-making it the sole option for sustained operation in LEO spacecraft and strategic defense platforms.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the SN74ACT74MDREP?
The SN74ACT74MDREP supports a maximum clock frequency of 145 MHz at 25°C and 5 V supply, as specified in its switching characteristics table. At full temperature range (−55°C to 125°C), the guaranteed minimum fmax is 85 MHz. This performance enables use in high-speed synchronous control loops where deterministic timing is essential, and the SN74ACT74MDREP maintains consistent edge-trigger behavior across its entire operating envelope.
Does the SN74ACT74MDREP require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on unused inputs?
Yes - per TI's recommended operating conditions, all unused inputs of the SN74ACT74MDREP must be held at VCC or GND to prevent floating nodes that could cause increased ICC, erratic switching, or ESD susceptibility. This requirement applies to spare PRE, CLR, D, and CLK pins across both flip-flops. The SN74ACT74MDREP does not include internal termination, so discrete resistors (typically 10 kΩ) are necessary for robust operation in flight hardware.
Is the SN74ACT74MDREP pin-compatible with standard SN74ACT74 devices?
Yes - the SN74ACT74MDREP shares identical SOIC-14 pinout, electrical interface, and functional behavior with the commercial SN74ACT74 and automotive SN74ACT74-Q1. All three parts use the same D-package mechanical outline, terminal numbering, and logic diagram. However, the SN74ACT74MDREP adds radiation tolerance and extended-temperature qualification not present in the base catalog version, making it a drop-in replacement where enhanced reliability is required.
What is the meaning of "MDREP" in the SN74ACT74MDREP part number?
The "MDREP" suffix in SN74ACT74MDREP denotes Texas Instruments' Enhanced Product (EP) designation: "M" indicates military-temperature range (−55°C to 125°C), "D" specifies SOIC package, "R" signifies tape-and-reel packaging, "E" identifies the Enhanced Product family, and "P" confirms lead-free (NIPDAU) finish. This full suffix confirms the SN74ACT74MDREP as a controlled-baseline, DMS-supported, extended-lifecycle variant intended for high-reliability applications.
Can the SN74ACT74MDREP drive 50-pF loads reliably at 100 MHz?
Yes - the SN74ACT74MDREP is characterized with CL = 50 pF in its timing test conditions and delivers 10.5 ns max tPLH/tPHL at 5 V, enabling clean 100 MHz square-wave output delivery. Its ±24 mA output drive strength and 45 pF typical Cpd ensure minimal rise/fall time degradation into 50-pF loads, and the SN74ACT74MDREP maintains signal integrity without external buffers in most FPGA- or ASIC-interface scenarios.
