Product details
Overview
SN74AHCT74MDREP from Texas Instruments is a dual positive-edge-triggered D-type flip-flop with independent asynchronous clear (CLR) and preset (PRE) inputs, operating over –55°C to 125°C, supporting 4.5–5.5 V supply, TTL-compatible inputs, and delivering 8 mA output drive at 5 V. It serves as a synchronous storage element in radiation-tolerant industrial control and avionics timing circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SN74AHCT74MDREP datasheet, SN74AHCT74MDREP pinout, SN74AHCT74MDREP application, or SN74AHCT74MDREP equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, SOIC-14 package mapping, functional timing behavior, and qualified military-grade alternatives for extended-temperature embedded systems design.
Technical Context
The SN74AHCT74MDREP implements two independent edge-triggered D flip-flops using TI's EPIC™ (Enhanced-Performance Implanted CMOS) process, enabling robust latch-up immunity (>250 mA per JESD17) and ESD protection (>2 kV HBM). Each flip-flop features asynchronous active-low CLR and PRE, with data propagation on the rising clock edge only when both controls are high.
Its input structure accepts TTL-voltage levels (VIH ≥ 2 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V), while output VOH/VOL are specified at ±8 mA loads (VOH ≥ 3.94 V, VOL ≤ 0.44 V at VCC = 4.5 V). Maximum operating frequency reaches 100 MHz at CL = 15 pF and 80 MHz at CL = 50 pF under recommended conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures compatibility with 5 V logic rails and margin against brownout in harsh environments |
| Operating Temperature | –55°C to 125°C - qualified for space-constrained, high-reliability aerospace and defense platforms |
| Output Drive | ±8 mA - sufficient to directly drive multiple 74-series inputs or small capacitive loads without buffering |
| Propagation Delay | 5.8–7.8 ns (CLK→Q, CL = 15 pF) - enables sub-10 ns timing-critical state transitions in real-time controllers |
| Setup/Hold Time | tsu = 5 ns, th = 0 ns - simplifies timing closure with minimal data path margin required before clock edge |
| Input Compatibility | TTL-level (VIH ≥ 2 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V) - allows direct interfacing with legacy 74LS/74F outputs without level-shifting |
| Power Dissipation | Cpd = 32 pF - predicts dynamic power consumption for thermal modeling in sealed enclosures |
Pinout & Package
SN74AHCT74MDREP is housed in a 14-pin SOIC (D) package with standard 1.27 mm pitch, JEDEC MO-002AC compliant, and RoHS-compliant NiPdAu lead finish. Thermal resistance θJA = 86°C/W supports operation up to 125°C ambient with moderate PCB copper area.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by SN74AHCT74MDREP?
The SN74AHCT74MDREP supports a maximum clock frequency of 100 MHz when driving a 15 pF load and 80 MHz at 50 pF, as measured under recommended operating conditions (VCC = 5 V ± 0.5 V, TA = –55°C to 125°C). These values reflect guaranteed minimum performance across the full temperature range, not typical-only specifications.
Does SN74AHCT74MDREP require external pull-up resistors on PRE and CLR inputs?
No, SN74AHCT74MDREP does not require external pull-ups on PRE or CLR. The device specifies VIH ≥ 2 V and VIL ≤ 0.8 V, and all unused inputs must be actively driven to VCC or GND per TI application report SCBA004. Floating PRE/CLR pins may cause undefined output states or increased current draw.
Is SN74AHCT74MDREP pin-compatible with standard SN74AHCT74?
Yes, SN74AHCT74MDREP is pin-compatible with SN74AHCT74 and SN54AHCT74 in the same SOIC-14 (D) package. All three share identical pin assignments, logic function, and DC electrical characteristics-only temperature range, reliability screening, and qualification pedigree differ.
What is the meaning of "MDREP" in SN74AHCT74MDREP?
The "MDREP" suffix denotes Texas Instruments' enhanced-product (EP) variant in SOIC (D) package, tape-and-reel (R) packaging, and extended temperature (–55°C to 125°C) qualification. "M" indicates military/aerospace grade, "D" is SOIC, "R" is tape-and-reel, and "EP" confirms enhanced-product status per TI's controlled baseline program.
Can SN74AHCT74MDREP operate reliably at 3.3 V supply?
No, SN74AHCT74MDREP is not specified for 3.3 V operation. Its recommended supply range is strictly 4.5 V to 5.5 V. At 3.3 V, VIH/VIL thresholds become unmet, output drive falls below specification, and timing parameters are no longer guaranteed-TI does not characterize or warrant operation outside this range.
