Product details
Overview
SN74AS175BD from Texas Instruments is a quad D-type positive-edge-triggered flip-flop with complementary (Q and Q̅) outputs, direct-clear (CLR) input, and fully buffered clock and output stages. It operates at 5 V, supports 100 MHz clock frequency, delivers ±2 mA high-level and 20 mA low-level output drive, and is housed in a 16-pin SOIC (D) package for industrial logic control and register applications.
For engineers reviewing the SN74AS175BD datasheet, SN74AS175BD pinout, SN74AS175BD application, or SN74AS175BD equivalent, key selection criteria include its double-rail output architecture, TTL-compatible 5-V operation, fast 3–10 ns propagation delays, and suitability for synchronous storage, shift registers, and pattern generation in noise-sensitive digital systems.
Technical Context
The SN74AS175BD implements four independent D-type latches triggered on the positive edge of CLK, with each stage featuring true and complement outputs (Q, Q̅). Its direct-clear (CLR) input asynchronously resets all four outputs to low (Q = L, Q̅ = H), independent of clock state.
All inputs and outputs are fully buffered using AS-series TTL circuitry, providing high noise immunity and driving capability. The device is compatible with standard TTL logic families and requires no external pull-ups or termination for typical 50-pF load conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Family | 74AS (Advanced Schottky TTL) - enables high-speed operation with low power-delay product |
| Flip-Flop Count & Type | Quad D-type with complementary outputs - supports simultaneous access to true and inverted data per stage |
| Max Clock Frequency | 100 MHz - allows use in high-throughput synchronous logic and pipeline register stages |
| Propagation Delay (tPLH/tPHL) | 3–10 ns (CLK to Q/Q̅) - ensures tight timing margins in fast-counting and state-machine designs |
| Output Drive | IOL = 20 mA, IOH = –2 mA - directly drives multiple TTL loads or small-signal MOSFET gates without buffers |
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - maintains stable operation across standard 5-V rail tolerances |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to 70°C - certified for commercial-grade embedded and industrial control environments |
Pinout & Package
SN74AS175BD is supplied in a 16-pin SOIC (D) package (JEDEC MS-012AC, 3.9 mm body width, 1.27 mm pitch), optimized for surface-mount assembly and thermal performance (θJA = 73°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | CLR | Asynchronous active-low clear - forces all Q outputs low and Q̅ high regardless of CLK or D state |
| 2 | 1D | Data input for first flip-flop - sampled on rising CLK edge |
| 3 | 1Q | True output of first flip-flop |
| 4 | 1Q̅ | Inverted output of first flip-flop - enables differential signaling or logic inversion without external gate |

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 | Lower speed (50 MHz max), higher propagation delay (15 ns), ALS-family lower power (~9 mA ICC) | Suitable for cost-sensitive, lower-frequency control logic where timing margin is generous | Select when power efficiency > speed; not drop-in due to timing and drive differences |
| SN74AS174N | Hex (6-stage) single-rail output version; no Q̅ outputs; same speed and drive specs | Better for pure storage/register use without need for inverted outputs | Choose when board space permits larger PDIP and inverted outputs are unnecessary |
Compared with SN74ALS175N and SN74AS174N, the SN74AS175BD offers superior timing performance and built-in complementary outputs-making it optimal for high-speed, noise-immune register design where dual-rail access reduces component count and improves signal integrity.

FAQ
What is the function of the CLR pin on the SN74AS175BD?
The CLR (clear) pin on the SN74AS175BD is an asynchronous active-low input that forces all four Q outputs low and all Q̅ outputs high, regardless of clock or data states. This provides immediate, clock-independent reset capability essential for system initialization and fault recovery. The SN74AS175BD's CLR functionality is electrically identical across all temperature and voltage operating conditions specified in its datasheet.
Does the SN74AS175BD require external pull-up resistors on its outputs?
No, the SN74AS175BD does not require external pull-up resistors on its outputs. Its totem-pole (push-pull) output structure actively drives both high and low logic levels, delivering up to 20 mA sink and 2 mA source current. External pull-ups would interfere with proper logic level definition and are unnecessary for standard TTL or CMOS interfacing within its specified VCC range.
Can the SN74AS175BD operate reliably at 5.5 V supply?
Yes, the SN74AS175BD is rated for continuous operation from 4.5 V to 5.5 V, with all electrical characteristics-including propagation delay, output drive, and noise margins-guaranteed across this full range. At 5.5 V, the device maintains its 100 MHz maximum clock frequency and meets all switching and DC specifications per the SDAS207E datasheet revision.
How many flip-flops does the SN74AS175BD contain, and what is their output configuration?
The SN74AS175BD contains four independent D-type flip-flops, each with complementary (true and inverted) outputs (Q and Q̅). This differs from hex variants like SN74AS174, which provide six single-rail outputs. The dual-rail configuration of the SN74AS175BD eliminates external inverters in applications requiring both logic polarities, such as bus transceivers and differential clock distribution.
Is the SN74AS175BD pin-compatible with SN74ALS175DR?
Yes, the SN74AS175BD and SN74ALS175DR share identical 16-pin SOIC (D) package dimensions, pinout, and terminal functions-including CLR, CLK, D, Q, Q̅, VCC, and GND assignments. However, they differ in speed (100 MHz vs. 50 MHz), drive strength, and propagation delay; thus, while physically interchangeable, timing-critical designs must verify setup/hold and clock-to-output margins when substituting.
