Product details
Overview
SN74ALS175NSR from Texas Instruments is a quad D-type flip-flop with complementary (Q and Q̅) outputs, direct-clear input, and positive-edge clock triggering. It operates at 5 V, supports up to 50 MHz clock frequency, delivers ±4 mA output drive, and features TTL-compatible logic levels. It is used in synchronous digital systems requiring data latching with dual-rail output buffering - such as industrial control registers and legacy bus interface circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SN74ALS175NSR datasheet, SN74ALS175NSR pinout, SN74ALS175NSR application, or SN74ALS175NSR equivalent, this page provides verified functional specifications, package-confirmed terminal mapping, real-world timing constraints, and validated alternative options for legacy TTL system upgrades and repair.
Technical Context
This device implements four independent edge-triggered D flip-flops using bipolar ALS (Advanced Low-Power Schottky) TTL circuitry. Each stage includes buffered clock and direct-clear inputs, and produces true/complement outputs simultaneously on the rising edge of CLK. Input setup time is 15 ns, hold time is 0 ns, and propagation delays range from 3 ns (tPLH) to 18 ns (tPHL) under standard load conditions.
All flip-flops share a common asynchronous CLR signal that forces Q = LOW and Q̅ = HIGH regardless of clock state. Outputs are fully buffered to minimize coupling from external noise, and unused inputs must be tied to VCC or GND per TI application guidance SCBA004.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Family | ALS TTL - ensures compatibility with legacy 74LS/74S systems and predictable DC noise margins |
| Flip-Flop Count | 4 independent D-type stages - enables compact 4-bit register implementation without external gating |
| Output Type | Complementary (Q and Q̅) - supports differential signaling, enable/disable logic, and inverted path routing |
| Max Clock Frequency | 50 MHz at VCC = 5 V, TA = 25°C - sufficient for high-speed control sequencing in industrial PLC modules |
| Output Drive | IOL = 4 mA / IOH = –0.4 mA - drives standard TTL loads directly; no external pull-ups required for fanout ≤10 |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - accommodates nominal 5 V rails with ±10% tolerance; not 3.3 V compatible |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to 70°C - commercial-grade rating suitable for non-military embedded equipment |
Pinout & Package
SOP-16 (NS package), 16-pin small-outline plastic package with gull-wing leads, 1.27 mm pitch, 10.4 mm × 5.4 mm body size, and 2.00 mm max height. Pin 1 located at top-left corner with notch or dot marking.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | CLR | Asynchronous clear input - active-low, overrides clock and data to force Q = L / Q̅ = H |
| 2 | 1D | Data input for Flip-Flop 1 - sampled on rising CLK edge if CLR is HIGH |
| 3 | 1Q | True output for Flip-Flop 1 - reflects stored D value after clock edge |

| 10 | 3Q | True output for Flip-Flop 3 |
| 11 | 3D | Data input for Flip-Flop 3 |
| 12 | 4Q̅ | Inverted output for Flip-Flop 4 |
| 13 | 4Q | True output for Flip-Flop 4 |
| 14 | 4D | Data input for Flip-Flop 4 |

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Quad D-type with Q/Q̅ outputs | Enables single-chip 4-bit latch with both polarities available - eliminates need for external inverters in toggle or enable logic |
| Direct-clear (asynchronous) | Allows immediate reset of all four stages independently of clock timing - critical for system initialization and fault recovery |
| Positive-edge clock trigger | Ensures deterministic sampling aligned to rising transitions - simplifies timing analysis in synchronous designs |
| Full TTL compatibility | Interoperates with 74LS, 74S, and 74F families without level-shifting - preserves legacy board designs |
| Buffered outputs | Provides high noise immunity and stable drive into capacitive loads up to 50 pF - reduces signal integrity risk in dense PCB layouts |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar D-type flip-flop applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ALS175N | Same logic function and timing, but in 16-pin PDIP (N) package - larger footprint, through-hole mounting | Preferred for prototyping, repair of legacy through-hole boards, or manual soldering environments | Select when mechanical compatibility with existing DIP sockets or hand-soldered assemblies is required |
| SN74AS175BNSR | Faster AS-family variant: 100 MHz max clock, lower propagation delay (3–7.5 ns), higher ICC (22.5–34 mA) | Better suited for high-speed control loops or timing-critical instrumentation where ALS speed is insufficient | Choose when upgrading performance without changing board layout - same SOP-16 (NS) package and pinout |
Compared with SN74ALS175N, SN74ALS175NSR offers surface-mount compatibility and smaller PCB area; compared with SN74AS175BNSR, it trades speed and drive strength for lower power consumption and broader voltage margin tolerance in noisy industrial settings.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by SN74ALS175NSR?
The SN74ALS175NSR supports a maximum clock frequency of 50 MHz under recommended operating conditions (VCC = 4.5 V to 5.5 V, TA = 0°C to 70°C, CL = 50 pF). This specification is confirmed in the SDAS207E datasheet switching characteristics table for SN74ALS175 devices. Exceeding this limit may result in metastability or incorrect state capture in the SN74ALS175NSR.
Does SN74ALS175NSR have complementary outputs?
Yes, the SN74ALS175NSR provides complementary (true and inverted) outputs for each of its four D-type flip-flops - labeled Q and Q̅ on pins 3/4, 6/7, 10/9, and 13/12 respectively. This is explicitly stated in the device description: "'ALS175 and 'AS175B feature complementary outputs from each flip-flop." The SN74ALS175NSR implements this architecture in SOP-16 packaging.
What is the operating voltage range for SN74ALS175NSR?
The SN74ALS175NSR operates over a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V, as specified in the "Recommended Operating Conditions" table of the SDAS207E datasheet. Operation outside this range - including 3.3 V or 12 V - is not supported and may cause functional failure or permanent damage to the SN74ALS175NSR.
Is SN74ALS175NSR pin-compatible with SN74AS175BNSR?
Yes, SN74ALS175NSR and SN74AS175BNSR share identical SOP-16 (NS) package dimensions, pin count, pinout assignment, and terminal functions - confirmed by TI's ordering information and package drawings. However, they differ electrically: SN74AS175BNSR offers higher speed (100 MHz) and drive (20 mA), while SN74ALS175NSR provides lower power and wider noise margin. Both are drop-in replacements at the board level.
What is the purpose of the CLR input on SN74ALS175NSR?
The CLR (clear) input on the SN74ALS175NSR is an asynchronous, active-low signal that forces all four Q outputs LOW and all Q̅ outputs HIGH, regardless of clock or data states. As described in the function table and logic diagrams, this allows immediate, clock-independent reset - essential for system initialization, error recovery, and deterministic startup sequences in the SN74ALS175NSR.
