Product details
Overview
SN74AHC74PWRG4 from Texas Instruments is a dual positive-edge-triggered D-type flip-flop with independent preset (PRE) and clear (CLR) inputs, operating across 2 V to 5.5 V supply range, supporting clock frequencies up to 110 MHz at 5 V, and delivering ±8 mA output drive. It implements synchronous data latching per channel and is used in digital logic control, clock division, and signal debouncing circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SN74AHC74PWRG4 datasheet, SN74AHC74PWRG4 pinout, SN74AHC74PWRG4 application, or SN74AHC74PWRG4 equivalent, key selection considerations include its TSSOP-14 package, dual-channel edge-triggered behavior, active-low asynchronous controls, guaranteed timing margins at industrial temperature (–40°C to +125°C), and compatibility with mixed-voltage 3.3 V/5 V systems.
Technical Context
The SN74AHC74PWRG4 integrates two independent D-type flip-flops sharing no internal coupling-each with dedicated CLK, D, PRE, CLR, Q, and Q̅ terminals. Clock triggering occurs on the rising voltage threshold of CLK, not dependent on edge slew rate, enabling robust operation with slow or noisy clocks when paired with external Schmitt triggers.
Each flip-flop supports asynchronous set/reset via low-active PRE and CLR pins that override clock and data inputs. When both PRE and CLR are high, data at D transfers to Q on the next positive clock edge, provided setup (5 ns min at 5 V) and hold (0.5 ns) times are met. Output states remain stable between clock edges, supporting reliable storage in control and sequencing logic.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2 V to 5.5 V - enables direct interface with 3.3 V and 5 V logic families without level shifters |
| Max Clock Frequency | 110 MHz at VCC = 5 V, CL = 15 pF - supports high-speed divide-by-2 clock generation and data sampling |
| Output Drive Strength | ±8 mA at VCC = 5 V - sufficient to drive multiple 74AHC inputs or moderate capacitive loads (≤50 pF) |
| Propagation Delay | 4.6 ns (tPLH, CLK→Q, VCC = 5 V) - ensures tight timing budgets in synchronous state machines |
| Input Thresholds | VIH = 3.85 V, VIL = 1.65 V at VCC = 5.5 V - provides 0.65 V noise margin for TTL-compatible signaling |
| ESD Protection | ±2000 V HBM, ±1000 V CDM - meets industrial handling requirements without additional protection circuitry |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for automotive under-hood and industrial motor-control environments |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-14 (PW) package: 4.4 mm × 5.0 mm body, 0.65 mm pitch, exposed pad optional, RoHS-compliant, moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1CLK, 2CLK | Asynchronous clock input (rising-edge sensitive) | Triggers data transfer from D to Q on voltage-threshold crossing; immune to slow rise/fall times |
| 1D, 2D | Data input | Samples and holds value at next active clock edge if PRE/CLR inactive; requires 5 ns setup before CLK↑ at 5 V |
| 1PRE, 2PRE | Active-low preset | Forces Q = HIGH regardless of CLK/D state; overrides all synchronous functions when pulled LOW |
| 1CLR, 2CLR | Active-low clear | Forces Q = LOW regardless of CLK/D state; operates independently per channel |
| 1Q, 2Q | True output | Reflects stored D value after clock edge; drives loads up to ±8 mA at 5 V |
| 1Q̅, 2Q̅ | Inverted output | Complementary to Q; enables direct implementation of toggle mode when fed back to D |
| VCC | Positive supply | Power rail for logic core and I/O; bypassing with 0.1 µF capacitor near pin required for noise immunity |
| GND | Ground reference | Return path for all currents; must be low-impedance to maintain VOL ≤ 0.5 V under 8 mA sink |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent flip-flops | Enables compact implementation of two-bit registers or separate control paths without inter-channel timing dependency |
| Asynchronous PRE/CLR | Allows immediate initialization or reset of each channel without waiting for clock edge-critical for system startup and fault recovery |
| Wide VCC range (2–5.5 V) | Permits single-supply operation across legacy 5 V and modern 3.3 V systems, reducing BOM count in mixed-voltage designs |
| High noise immunity | Guaranteed 0.65 V input hysteresis margin at 5.5 V supports reliable operation in electrically noisy motor-drive or power-conversion environments |
| Low dynamic power | ICC ≤ 20 µA at 5.5 V enables use in battery-backed or always-on logic monitoring applications with minimal quiescent drain |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual D-flip-flop applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC74APWR | Lower VCC range (1.65–5.5 V); 32 mA drive; higher ICC (max 10 µA vs. 20 µA) | Better suited for 1.8 V logic domains and higher fanout; less optimal for 2 V operation or ultra-low-power standby | Select when interfacing with LVC-family peripherals or requiring stronger drive into heavy capacitive loads |
| MC74HC74ADTR2G | Same pinout; wider temp range (–55°C to +125°C); slower max fCLK (25 MHz at 5 V) | Preferred for extended-temperature military/aerospace use but unsuitable for >25 MHz clock division | Choose only when extreme temperature qualification outweighs speed requirements |
Compared with SN74LVC74APWR and MC74HC74ADTR2G, the SN74AHC74PWRG4 uniquely balances 110 MHz operation, 2 V minimum supply, and industrial temperature rating-making it the optimal choice for cost-sensitive, high-reliability embedded control where both performance and voltage flexibility matter.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the SN74AHC74PWRG4?
The SN74AHC74PWRG4 supports a maximum clock frequency of 110 MHz when operated at VCC = 5 V with a 15 pF load. This value is specified in the Switching Characteristics table (Section 5.9) of the official datasheet and is validated across the full industrial temperature range (–40°C to +125°C). At 3.3 V, the max frequency drops to 70 MHz due to reduced drive strength.
Does the SN74AHC74PWRG4 require external pull-up resistors on PRE and CLR pins?
No, the SN74AHC74PWRG4 does not require external pull-up resistors on PRE and CLR pins for basic functionality-but unused PRE/CLR inputs must be actively held HIGH (to VCC) to prevent unintended resets. TI's datasheet (Section 5.3) specifies that all unused inputs must be terminated to VCC or GND; floating PRE/CLR pins can cause metastability or erratic output behavior, especially in noisy environments.
Can the SN74AHC74PWRG4 operate reliably at 2.0 V supply voltage?
Yes, the SN74AHC74PWRG4 is fully specified to operate down to 2.0 V supply voltage, as confirmed in Section 5.3 (Recommended Operating Conditions). At 2 V, it delivers 50 µA output drive, supports 1.5 V VIH and 0.5 V VIL thresholds, and maintains functional timing with 7 ns minimum clock pulse width-making it suitable for battery-powered or energy-harvesting systems with brown-out conditions.
What is the thermal resistance (RθJA) of the SN74AHC74PWRG4 in its TSSOP-14 package?
The SN74AHC74PWRG4 in the PW (TSSOP-14) package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 147.7°C/W, as published in Section 5.4 of the datasheet. This value assumes standard JEDEC 2-layer board conditions; actual thermal performance improves significantly with PCB copper pour and thermal vias beneath the exposed pad (if present), though the PW package variant does not include an exposed thermal pad.
How is toggle-mode operation implemented using the SN74AHC74PWRG4?
Toggle-mode operation is implemented by connecting the inverted output (Q̅) directly to the data input (D) of the same flip-flop channel in the SN74AHC74PWRG4. Each rising edge on CLK then toggles the Q output state. This configuration is explicitly validated in TI's Application Information (Section 8.1) and requires no external logic-enabling compact, low-cost momentary-to-toggle conversion in user interface and control logic.
