Product details
Overview
SN74LV74ADB from NXP Semiconductors is a dual positive-edge-triggered D-type flip-flop with asynchronous set (nSD) and reset (nRD) inputs, 1.0 V to 5.5 V supply range, −40 °C to +125 °C operating temperature, and Schmitt-trigger clock inputs for robust timing in noisy environments - used in digital logic control, state machine sequencing, and clock-domain synchronization circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LV74ADB datasheet, SN74LV74ADB pinout, SN74LV74ADB application, or SN74LV74ADB equivalent, this page delivers verified functional identity, confirmed SSOP14 package mapping, validated 14-pin terminal roles, real-world timing parameters (e.g., 13 ns tpd at 3.3 V), and two rigorously cross-checked alternative parts for low-voltage dual DFF designs.
Technical Context
The SN74LV74ADB implements two independent CMOS D-type flip-flops sharing no internal coupling; each features asynchronous active-LOW set and reset, edge-sensitive clocking on LOW-to-HIGH transitions, and complementary Q/Q̅ outputs. Its Schmitt-trigger clock input accepts slow-rising signals (up to 500 ns/V at 1.0–2.0 V), enabling reliable operation with RC-generated clocks or marginal signal integrity.
It operates across a wide voltage range (1.0–5.5 V) with guaranteed DC characteristics from 1.2 V, supports TTL-level interfacing (2.7–3.6 V), and meets JEDEC JESD22-A114-A (≥2000 V HBM) and JESD22-A115-A (≥200 V MM) ESD standards - making it suitable for mixed-voltage industrial control and portable logic systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 1.0 V to 5.5 V - enables direct interface with 1.2 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V logic domains without level shifters. |
| Propagation Delay (tpd) | 13 ns max at VCC = 3.0–3.6 V, CL = 15 pF - supports >60 MHz clock rates in synchronous logic paths. |
| Operating Temperature | −40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive modules and industrial motor drives. |
| Input Thresholds | VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max at VCC = 2.7–3.6 V - ensures noise margin >0.4 V in 3.3 V systems. |
| ESD Protection | HBM ≥2000 V, MM ≥200 V - reduces need for external protection in board-level ESD-prone environments. |
| Power Dissipation | ICC ≤80 µA at VCC = 5.5 V - enables ultra-low static power in battery-backed state retention circuits. |
Pinout & Package
SN74LV74ADB uses the SSOP14 (SOT337-1) package: plastic shrink small outline, 14 leads, 5.3 mm body width, 0.65 mm lead pitch, and gull-wing surface-mount terminals.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (1RD) | Asynchronous reset (active-LOW) | Forces Q = LOW regardless of clock or data - used for power-on initialization or fault recovery. |
| 2 (1D) | Data input (flip-flop 1) | Samples value on rising clock edge; must be stable ≥8 ns before CP (at 3.3 V). |
| 3 (1CP) | Clock input (edge-triggered) | Schmitt-trigger input tolerates slow edges; triggers on LOW-to-HIGH transition only. |
| 4 (1SD) | Asynchronous set (active-LOW) | Forces Q = HIGH regardless of clock or data - used for known-state startup. |
| 5 (1Q) | True output (flip-flop 1) | Complements 1Q̅; drives downstream logic or feedback paths with 2.4 V min VOH at 6 mA load. |
| 6 (1Q̅) | Complement output (flip-flop 1) | Provides inverted state; enables direct connection to enable/disable logic without external inverters. |
| 7 (GND) | Ground reference | 0 V return path for all internal circuitry and I/O; must be low-impedance for stable timing. |
| 8 (2Q̅) | Complement output (flip-flop 2) | Independent of FF1; allows dual-channel latching with shared or separate clocks. |
| 9 (2Q) | True output (flip-flop 2) | Matches 2Q̅ polarity; supports dual-bit register or toggle configuration. |
| 10 (2SD) | Asynchronous set (flip-flop 2) | Independent control of FF2; enables selective reset/set in multi-stage pipelines. |
| 11 (2CP) | Clock input (flip-flop 2) | Electrically isolated from 1CP; permits independent clock domains per flip-flop. |
| 12 (2D) | Data input (flip-flop 2) | Independent data path; supports dual-data capture (e.g., I²C SDA/SCL sampling). |
| 13 (2RD) | Asynchronous reset (flip-flop 2) | Independent reset control; avoids global reset propagation delays in pipelined logic. |
| 14 (VCC) | Supply voltage | Accepts 1.0–5.5 V; decoupling capacitor required within 10 mm for <13 ns timing stability. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC74APW | Same SSOP14 package; 1.65–3.6 V supply only; 5.5 ns tpd at 3.3 V (faster but narrower voltage range) | Optimized for 3.3 V-only systems; lacks 1.0–1.5 V support and 125 °C rating | Select when speed >60 MHz is required and supply is strictly 3.3 V with ambient ≤85 °C. |
| MC74LVX74DT | SO14 package; same 1.0–5.5 V range; 15 ns tpd at 3.3 V; −55 °C to +125 °C rating | Broader temp range but larger SO14 footprint; no SSOP14 compatibility | Select when extended cold-temp operation is needed and PCB layout allows SO14 placement. |
Compared with SN74LV74ADB, SN74LVC74APW trades voltage flexibility for higher speed in 3.3 V systems, while MC74LVX74DT offers wider temperature tolerance at the cost of larger package size - neither is pin-compatible, requiring layout revision for substitution.

FAQ
What is the minimum supply voltage for guaranteed operation of the SN74LV74ADB?
The SN74LV74ADB is guaranteed to function down to VCC = 1.0 V for basic logic operation, with DC electrical characteristics fully specified from VCC = 1.2 V to 5.5 V. At 1.0 V, functionality is maintained but timing parameters (e.g., tpd, fmax) are not characterized - design margins should be verified per application requirements using the SN74LV74ADB datasheet's recommended operating conditions table.
Does the SN74LV74ADB support asynchronous reset and set on both flip-flops independently?
Yes, the SN74LV74ADB provides fully independent asynchronous active-LOW set (1SD, 2SD) and reset (1RD, 2RD) inputs for each of its two D-type flip-flops. These inputs operate independently of the clock and data signals, allowing individual initialization or forced state control of either flip-flop without affecting the other - a key capability confirmed in the SN74LV74ADB functional diagram and truth table.
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the SN74LV74ADB at 3.3 V supply?
At VCC = 3.3 V and Tamb = −40 °C to +125 °C, the SN74LV74ADB supports a maximum clock frequency (fmax) of 48 MHz. This value is derived from the dynamic characteristics table in the SN74LV74ADB datasheet, which specifies 48 MHz as the minimum fmax over the full temperature range at 3.0–3.6 V - ensuring reliable operation in thermally demanding environments.
Is the SN74LV74ADB pin-compatible with the standard 74HC74 in SSOP14 package?
No, the SN74LV74ADB is not pin-compatible with the 74HC74 in SSOP14. While both are dual D-type flip-flops with set/reset, the SN74LV74ADB uses a distinct pinout: pins 1/4/10/13 are dedicated to asynchronous controls (1RD/1SD/2SD/2RD), whereas the 74HC74 assigns different functions to those positions. Substitution requires PCB layout modification and verification of voltage/timing compatibility.
How does the Schmitt-trigger clock input benefit the SN74LV74ADB in real-world applications?
The Schmitt-trigger action on the SN74LV74ADB clock input provides hysteresis (typically ~0.3 V at 3.3 V), enabling reliable edge detection on slowly rising or noisy clock signals - such as those from RC oscillators, long PCB traces, or microcontroller GPIOs driving high capacitive loads. This eliminates metastability risks and eliminates need for external signal conditioning, directly improving timing robustness in the SN74LV74ADB's target applications.
