Product details
Overview
SN74AS175BN from Texas Instruments is a quad D-type flip-flop with complementary outputs, direct-clear input, and positive-edge clock triggering in a 16-pin PDIP package. It operates at 5 V, supports 100 MHz clock frequency, delivers ±2 mA output drive, features 3 ns typical tPLH (CLK→Q), and is used in synchronous digital logic for data latching and register storage.
For engineers reviewing the SN74AS175BN datasheet, SN74AS175BN pinout, SN74AS175BN application, or SN74AS175BN equivalent, this page provides verified functional specifications, validated pin assignments, confirmed TTL-compatible timing behavior, and real-world use cases in industrial control registers and test equipment pattern generation.
Technical Context
The SN74AS175BN implements four independent D-type flip-flops with fully buffered complementary Q and Q̅ outputs per stage. Its direct-clear (CLR) input asynchronously resets all outputs to low/high states without clock dependency.
It uses advanced Schottky (AS) TTL circuitry for high-speed operation: propagation delays are specified under 10 ns (tPLH/tPHL), setup time is 3 ns, and hold time is 1 ns - all guaranteed over 0°C to 70°C with VCC = 4.5–5.5 V and CL = 50 pF.
Key Specifications

| 2 | 1D | Data input for first flip-flop - sampled on rising edge of CLK |
| 3 | 1Q | True output of first flip-flop - reflects stored 1D value after clock edge |
| 4 | 1Q̅ | Complementary output of first flip-flop - inverted version of 1Q, no external inverter needed |

| 6 | 2Q | True output of second flip-flop |
| 7 | 2Q̅ | Complementary output of second flip-flop |
| 8 | GND | Ground reference for power and signal integrity |

| 13 | 4Q | True output of fourth flip-flop |
| 14 | 4D | Data input for fourth flip-flop |
| 15 | CLK | Positive-edge-triggered clock input - initiates data transfer from D to Q/Q̅ on rising transition |
| 16 | VCC | +5 V supply pin - powers internal TTL circuitry and output drivers |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad D-type flip-flop applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74AS175BD | SOIC-16 package; same electrical specs, 100 MHz speed, and pinout as SN74AS175BN | Suitable for surface-mount production; requires reflow assembly instead of through-hole soldering | Select when board space is constrained and automated SMT assembly is used. |
| SN74ALS175N | Lower-speed ALS family: 50 MHz max clock, higher propagation delay (15 ns), lower drive (4 mA sink) | Acceptable where timing margin is relaxed and power consumption must be minimized | Choose only if cost sensitivity outweighs performance requirements and legacy ALS design reuse is prioritized. |
Compared with SN74AS175BD, SN74AS175BN offers identical logic functionality and timing but enables through-hole prototyping and repair; versus SN74ALS175N, it delivers double the clock rate and tighter setup/hold windows - critical for modern high-speed digital interfaces.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating clock frequency for SN74AS175BN?
The SN74AS175BN supports a maximum clock frequency of 100 MHz under recommended operating conditions (VCC = 4.5–5.5 V, TA = 0°C to 70°C, CL = 50 pF). This specification is verified by TI's switching characteristics data and applies to both commercial-grade SN74AS175BN and its SOIC variant SN74AS175BD.
Does SN74AS175BN have complementary outputs?
Yes, SN74AS175BN provides true (Q) and complementary (Q̅) outputs for each of its four D-type flip-flops. This is explicitly defined in the device's function description and confirmed in the logic diagram and function table of the SDAS207E datasheet - distinguishing it from the hex 'AS174 variant which lacks Q̅ outputs.
What is the pinout configuration of SN74AS175BN?
SN74AS175BN uses a standard 16-pin PDIP layout with pin 1 = CLR, pins 2–4 = 1D/1Q/1Q̅, pins 5–7 = 2D/2Q/2Q̅, pin 8 = GND, pins 9–11 = 3Q̅/3Q/3D, pins 12–14 = 4Q̅/4Q/4D, pin 15 = CLK, and pin 16 = VCC. This matches the top-view diagram for N-package devices in the SDAS207E datasheet.
Can SN74AS175BN replace SN74ALS175N in an existing design?
SN74AS175BN can replace SN74ALS175N only if timing margins allow - it offers faster speed (100 MHz vs. 50 MHz), lower propagation delay (3–7.5 ns vs. 3–15 ns), and higher output drive (20 mA sink vs. 8 mA), but consumes more current (22.5–34 mA ICC vs. 9–14 mA). Verify setup/hold timing and power delivery before substitution.
Is SN74AS175BN RoHS compliant?
Yes, SN74AS175BN is RoHS compliant, as confirmed in TI's packaging addendum: "Yes" under RoHS (3) column for orderable part number SN74AS175BN, with lead finish "NIPDAU" and MSL rating "N/A for Pkg Type" due to its through-hole PDIP construction.
