Product details
Overview
SN74HC74QDRG4Q1 from Texas Instruments is an automotive-qualified dual D-type positive-edge-triggered flip-flop with independent asynchronous clear and preset inputs per channel. It operates from 2 V to 6 V, supports fanout up to 10 LSTTL loads, and delivers guaranteed timing performance up to 36 MHz at 6 V across –40°C to +125°C. It is used in clock division (÷2/÷4) and momentary-to-toggle switch conversion in vehicle body control modules.
For engineers reviewing the SN74HC74QDRG4Q1 datasheet, SN74HC74QDRG4Q1 pinout, SN74HC74QDRG4Q1 application, or SN74HC74QDRG4Q1 equivalent, key selection criteria include AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification, dual-channel independent asynchronous control, propagation delay ≤59 ns (6 V), and SOIC-14 package compatibility with industrial-grade thermal derating.
Technical Context
The SN74HC74QDRG4Q1 implements two fully independent CMOS D-flip-flop channels, each with separate active-low asynchronous preset (PRE) and clear (CLR) inputs that override clock and data. Its positive-edge-triggered clock inputs respond only to rising transitions, and internal logic ensures metastability immunity under valid setup/hold timing.
It uses balanced push-pull CMOS outputs capable of sourcing/sinking ±25 mA, with input clamp diodes for ESD robustness (HBM ±2000 V, CDM ±1000 V). The device meets AEC-Q100 Grade 1 requirements and features standard CMOS inputs with ≤10 pF input capacitance and <±1000 nA leakage at 6 V.

| Power Dissipation Cap. | 35 pF per gate - enables accurate dynamic power estimation in battery-sensitive applications |
Pinout & Package
SN74HC74QDRG4Q1 is housed in a 14-pin SOIC (D) package measuring 8.70 mm × 3.90 mm, with standard 1.27 mm pitch and gull-wing leads. The package is RoHS-compliant, moisture sensitivity level 1, and rated for reflow up to 260°C.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1CLR, 2CLR | Asynchronous Clear Input (active low) | Forces Q = LOW and Q̅ = HIGH independently per channel, overriding CLK and D |
| 1D, 2D | Data Input | Samples value on rising CLK edge; determines next-state Q output |
| 1CLK, 2CLK | Clock Input (positive edge) | Triggers state update only on rising transition; insensitive to pulse width or fall time |
| 1PRE, 2PRE | Asynchronous Preset Input (active low) | Forces Q = HIGH and Q̅ = LOW independently per channel, overriding CLK and D |
| 1Q, 2Q | True Output | Reflects stored D value after CLK↑; drives downstream logic or indicators |
| 1Q̅, 2Q̅ | Inverted Output | Complementary to Q; enables direct implementation of toggle or JK-like behavior |
| GND (Pin 7) | Ground Reference | Return path for all I/O and supply currents; must be low-impedance for noise immunity |
| VCC (Pin 14) | Positive Supply | Primary power rail; requires local 0.1 µF bypass capacitor per device |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual D-type flip-flop applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74AHC74QDRG4Q1 | Faster propagation (≤7.5 ns at 5 V), higher drive (±8 mA), but narrower VCC range (2–5.5 V) | Better suited for high-speed digital interfaces where timing margin is critical; less tolerant of 6 V supply rails | Select when operating at 3.3 V with sub-10 ns timing budgets; avoid if 5 V or 6 V supply is used |
| MC74HC74ADTR2G | Identical logic function and pinout; different packaging (TSSOP-14), slightly higher RθJA (151.7°C/W vs. 133.6°C/W) | Same functional replacement but requires layout revision due to smaller footprint and different thermal profile | Choose for space-constrained designs where TSSOP-14 is preferred; verify thermal derating in sealed enclosures |
Compared with SN74HC74QDRG4Q1, SN74AHC74QDRG4Q1 trades supply voltage flexibility for speed, while MC74HC74ADTR2G maintains identical electrical behavior but shifts thermal management responsibility to PCB layout-neither offers pin-compatible drop-in replacement without validation.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the SN74HC74QDRG4Q1 at 5 V?
The SN74HC74QDRG4Q1 supports a maximum clock frequency of 31 MHz at 5 V, as specified in the Timing Characteristics table under Recommended Operating Conditions. This value is guaranteed across the full –40°C to +125°C temperature range and accounts for worst-case propagation delay (tpd ≤ 69 ns) and minimum pulse width (tw ≥ 20 ns). The SN74HC74QDRG4Q1 achieves this performance using optimized CMOS process technology while maintaining low power consumption.
Does the SN74HC74QDRG4Q1 require external pull-up resistors on PRE and CLR inputs?
No, the SN74HC74QDRG4Q1 does not require external pull-up resistors on PRE and CLR inputs when actively driven, as these are standard CMOS inputs with negligible DC leakage (<±1000 nA at 6 V). However, if left unused, they must be terminated to VCC or GND to prevent floating states; a 10-kΩ resistor is commonly used for default HIGH or LOW biasing. Internal clamp diodes provide ESD protection but do not replace proper DC termination.
Can the SN74HC74QDRG4Q1 operate reliably at 2.5 V supply voltage?
Yes, the SN74HC74QDRG4Q1 is fully specified to operate at 2.5 V supply voltage, with guaranteed functionality across –40°C to +125°C. At 2.5 V, its maximum clock frequency is 6 MHz, setup time is 150 ns, and propagation delay is up to 345 ns. All electrical characteristics-including VOH ≥ 2.3 V and VOL ≤ 0.1 V-are validated at this voltage, making it suitable for mixed-voltage automotive domains such as low-power sensor interfaces.
How does the SN74HC74QDRG4Q1 handle simultaneous assertion of PRE and CLR?
When both PRE and CLR are asserted low simultaneously on the same channel of the SN74HC74QDRG4Q1, the output enters a defined nonstable state where Q = Q̅ = HIGH, as documented in the Function Table. This condition is not latched and resolves to a valid Q/Q̅ complementary pair upon release of either PRE or CLR. The device does not latch or retain this state-designers must avoid concurrent assertion in production logic to ensure predictable behavior.
Is the SN74HC74QDRG4Q1 pin-compatible with the commercial-grade SN74HC74DR?
Yes, the SN74HC74QDRG4Q1 is pin-compatible with the commercial-grade SN74HC74DR, sharing identical SOIC-14 pinout, terminal functions, and logic behavior. However, SN74HC74QDRG4Q1 adds AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification, enhanced ESD ratings (HBM ±2000 V), and extended temperature validation (–40°C to +125°C), making it suitable for automotive deployment where the commercial part is not qualified. No PCB changes are required for drop-in replacement in existing layouts.
