Product details
Overview
SN74LS75N from Texas Instruments is a quad 2-input bistable latch IC in a 16-pin PDIP package, operating from 4.75 V to 5.25 V with typical propagation delay of 20 ns and output drive capability of ±8 mA. It implements transparent latching logic for data storage in synchronous digital systems, commonly used in address/data bus isolation and register file interfacing.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LS75N datasheet, SN74LS75N pinout, SN74LS75N application, or SN74LS75N equivalent, key selection criteria include TTL-compatible input thresholds, dual-gated transparent latch architecture, DC supply stability across 0°C to 70°C, and legacy through-hole mounting compatibility.
Technical Context
The SN74LS75N contains four independent transparent D-type latches, each with separate enable (G) and data (D) inputs and complementary Q/Q̅ outputs. Each latch operates on active-high enable logic and retains state when G is low.
It uses bipolar Schottky TTL technology, delivering guaranteed fan-out of 20 LS-TTL loads, noise immunity of ≥0.4 V, and input clamp diodes for transient protection. The device lacks internal reset or preset functionality and requires external timing control for synchronous operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Family | LS-TTL - ensures compatibility with standard 74LS-series interface levels and loading. |
| Supply Voltage | 4.75 V to 5.25 V - mandates regulated +5 V rail; operation outside this range risks invalid logic states. |
| Propagation Delay | 20 ns max (tPLH/tPHL) - defines maximum clock-to-output timing budget in latch-enable paths. |
| Output Drive | ±8 mA (IOH/IOL) - supports direct driving of up to 20 LS-TTL inputs without buffering. |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to 70°C - specifies commercial-grade thermal envelope; not rated for extended industrial or military ranges. |
| Input Thresholds | VIL = 0.8 V max, VIH = 2.0 V min - defines valid logic-low/high voltage boundaries for reliable enable and data sampling. |
Pinout & Package
SN74LS75N is housed in a 16-pin plastic dual in-line package (PDIP-N), 0.300-inch wide body, with 0.100-inch lead pitch and through-hole mounting. Pin 1 is marked by a notch or dot at the top-left corner.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 4, 5, 12 | Data Input (D) | Four independent data inputs, one per latch; sampled when corresponding G is high. |
| 2, 3, 6, 13 | Enable Input (G) | Four independent gate controls; high enables transparency, low holds latched state. |
| 7 | GND | Power ground reference for all internal circuitry and I/O. |
| 8, 9, 10, 11 | True Output (Q) | Four latched true outputs, active-high, sourcing/sinking up to ±8 mA. |
| 14, 15, 16, 1 | Complementary Output (Q̅) | Four latched inverted outputs; pin 1 serves as both Q̅ for latch 1 and pin 1 identifier. |
| 16 | VCC | +5 V power supply connection; decoupling capacitor required within 1 cm of this pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Quad independent latches | Enables simultaneous storage of four 1-bit signals without inter-latch coupling or shared control timing. |
| Transparent latch behavior | Allows real-time data pass-through during enable assertion-critical for bus arbitration and pipeline staging. |
| LS-TTL compatible I/O | Guarantees interoperability with 74LS, 74S, and 74F families without level-shifting or current-limiting resistors. |
| DC noise margin ≥0.4 V | Provides robustness against crosstalk and ground bounce in dense PCB layouts with mixed-signal routing. |
| Through-hole PDIP packaging | Supports manual prototyping, socket-based testing, and legacy production assembly with wave soldering. |

|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LS75DR | SOIC-16 package, RoHS-compliant NiPdAu finish, 260°C reflow rated, same electrical specs. | Suitable for surface-mount production; requires PCB redesign and stencil changes versus PDIP. | Select SN74LS75DR for new SMT designs where board space and automated assembly efficiency are prioritized. |

FAQ
What is the function of the SN74LS75N in digital circuits?
The SN74LS75N functions as a quad transparent latch, allowing four independent 1-bit data signals to be held stable when their respective enable (G) inputs are low. When G is high, data passes directly from D to Q/Q̅ outputs. This behavior makes the SN74LS75N ideal for temporary data storage in bus-oriented architectures, such as microprocessor address latching or I/O port buffering, where synchronization with external timing signals is required.
Does the SN74LS75N have built-in reset or clear functionality?
No, the SN74LS75N does not include asynchronous reset or preset inputs. Each of its four latches relies solely on the enable (G) and data (D) inputs for state control. To initialize or clear outputs, external logic must force known D values while asserting G, or tie Q/Q̅ outputs to pull-up/pull-down networks. This absence distinguishes it from flip-flop variants like the SN74LS74 and confirms its role strictly as a level-sensitive latch.
Can the SN74LS75N be used in place of the original SN7475?
Yes, the SN74LS75N is a direct functional and pin-compatible upgrade to the original SN7475, offering improved speed (20 ns vs. 40 ns typical), lower power consumption, and enhanced noise immunity due to LS-TTL technology. Both share identical pinout, logic behavior, and 16-pin PDIP packaging, enabling seamless substitution in existing designs without layout or firmware changes-provided the 4.75–5.25 V supply range is maintained.
What is the maximum fan-out capability of the SN74LS75N outputs?
The SN74LS75N outputs support a guaranteed fan-out of 20 LS-TTL loads, meaning each Q or Q̅ output can reliably drive up to 20 standard LS-TTL inputs without signal degradation. This is enabled by its ±8 mA output drive strength and is validated across the full 0°C to 70°C operating range and 4.75–5.25 V supply. Exceeding this fan-out may cause timing violations or logic-level errors.
Is the SN74LS75N RoHS compliant and what is its lead finish?
Yes, the SN74LS75N is RoHS compliant and features a NiPdAu (nickel-palladium-gold) lead finish, which provides excellent solderability and corrosion resistance for lead-free reflow processes. Its PDIP package meets JEDEC standards for through-hole assembly, and the NIPDAU finish is qualified for Level-1 moisture sensitivity with unlimited floor life under dry storage conditions.
