Product details
Overview
SN74LV74APWRE4 from Texas Instruments is a dual positive-edge-triggered D-type flip-flop IC designed for 2-V to 5.5-V VCC operation, supporting mixed-mode voltage translation across I/O ports. It delivers 8.5 ns maximum propagation delay at 5 V, features Ioff partial-power-down protection, and operates across –40°C to 125°C for industrial programmable logic controller (PLC) and server motherboard timing control.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LV74APWRE4 datasheet, SN74LV74APWRE4 pinout, SN74LV74APWRE4 application, or SN74LV74APWRE4 equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual DFF architecture with independent preset/clear, 14-pin TSSOP package, 25 mA output drive capability, and guaranteed operation down to 2 V supply - critical for low-voltage interface synchronization and state-holding in mixed-supply systems.
Technical Context
This device implements two independent edge-triggered D flip-flops with asynchronous active-low preset (PRE) and clear (CLR) inputs. Each flip-flop transfers data from D to Q on the positive clock edge when PRE and CLR are high, while low assertion of either control forces Q/Q to defined logic states regardless of clock or data.
It supports mixed-voltage I/O: inputs tolerate up to 5.5 V independent of VCC, enabling level translation from higher-voltage logic domains into 2.5 V or 3.3 V systems. The Ioff circuitry disables outputs during power-down to prevent backflow current, satisfying JEDEC JESD78 latch-up requirements (>250 mA).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2 V to 5.5 V - enables interoperability across 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V logic domains without level shifters. |
| tpd Max | 8.5 ns at VCC = 5 V - ensures sub-10 ns timing margin for high-speed synchronous logic in PLC I/O modules. |
| IOL/IOH | ±12 mA at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V - provides sufficient drive for fanout to multiple CMOS loads or light bus termination. |
| Ioff | 5 µA max at VCC = 0 V - guarantees safe isolation during partial power-down in modular server PSU control circuits. |
| ESD Rating | 2000 V HBM, 500 V CDM - meets industrial-grade robustness requirements for factory automation equipment. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive-adjacent industrial environments and server motherboard edge zones. |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | 0 V to 5.5 V on all inputs - allows direct interfacing with 5 V microcontrollers driving 3.3 V FPGA configuration logic. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-14 (PW) package: 5.00 mm × 4.40 mm body, 0.65 mm pitch, exposed pad optional, RoHS-compliant NiPdAu lead finish, MSL Level-1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 13 | 1CLR / 2CLR | Asynchronous active-low clear for Flip-Flop 1 / 2 - forces Q = L, Q̅ = H independently of clock. |
| 2, 12 | 1D / 2D | Data input for Flip-Flop 1 / 2 - sampled on rising CLK edge when PRE/CLR are inactive (high). |
| 3, 11 | 1CLK / 2CLK | Positive-edge clock input for Flip-Flop 1 / 2 - triggers synchronous data transfer only on rising transition. |
| 4, 10 | 1PRE / 2PRE | Asynchronous active-low preset for Flip-Flop 1 / 2 - forces Q = H, Q̅ = L independently of clock. |
| 5, 9 | 1Q / 2Q | True output for Flip-Flop 1 / 2 - reflects stored D value after clock edge, unless overridden by PRE/CLR. |
| 6, 8 | 1Q̅ / 2Q̅ | Inverted output for Flip-Flop 1 / 2 - complementary to Q, maintained during PRE/CLR assertion. |
| 7 | GND | Ground reference for all internal circuitry and output drivers - must be low-impedance connection. |
| 14 | VCC | Primary power supply - bypassed with 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin per TI layout guidance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide VCC range (2–5.5 V) | Eliminates need for external level translators when interfacing 5 V sensors to 3.3 V microcontrollers in DCS analog input modules. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC74APWR | Lower VCC min (1.65 V), faster tpd (6.7 ns @ 3.3 V), no 5.5 V input tolerance. | Better suited for battery-powered portable devices but incompatible with legacy 5 V logic interfaces. | Select when operating exclusively in 1.8 V/3.3 V systems and maximum speed is prioritized over voltage flexibility. |
| MC74LCX74DT | Higher IOL/IOH (±24 mA), wider temp range (–55°C to +125°C), no Ioff support. | Preferred for military/aerospace where extended temperature and drive strength outweigh partial-power-down needs. | Choose for extreme-environment applications requiring higher output current and broader thermal qualification. |
Compared with SN74LVC74APWR and MC74LCX74DT, SN74LV74APWRE4 uniquely balances 2–5.5 V operation, 5.5 V-tolerant inputs, and Ioff protection - making it optimal for industrial mixed-supply systems where interoperability and safe power sequencing are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by SN74LV74APWRE4 at 3.3 V?
At VCC = 3.3 V ± 0.3 V and CL = 15 pF, SN74LV74APWRE4 supports a maximum clock frequency (fmax) of 140 MHz under typical conditions. This value drops to 70 MHz at CL = 50 pF. These figures are specified across –40°C to +125°C and reflect guaranteed performance for synchronous state transitions in real-world industrial designs using SN74LV74APWRE4.
Does SN74LV74APWRE4 support 5 V logic inputs when powered from 3.3 V?
Yes, SN74LV74APWRE4 supports 5.5 V-tolerant inputs across all pins - meaning it accepts 0 V to 5.5 V logic levels regardless of VCC setting. When powered from 3.3 V, this enables direct interfacing with legacy 5 V microcontrollers or sensors without external level-shifting circuitry, a key design advantage confirmed in the SN74LV74APWRE4 datasheet Section 6.3.
How does the Ioff feature function in SN74LV74APWRE4 during power-down?
The Ioff circuitry in SN74LV74APWRE4 automatically disables all outputs when VCC is near 0 V, limiting leakage current to ≤5 µA. This prevents damaging back-current flow through the device when connected to live buses in partially powered systems - a critical requirement verified in SN74LV74APWRE4's electrical characteristics table (Section 6.4) and explicitly called out in its feature list.
What is the recommended bypass capacitor for SN74LV74APWRE4?
Texas Instruments recommends a 0.1-µF ceramic capacitor placed as close as possible to the VCC pin (Pin 14) of SN74LV74APWRE4 to suppress high-frequency noise and stabilize supply rail during output switching. For multi-rail systems, additional 0.01–0.022 µF capacitors may be used per power terminal, as documented in SN74LV74APWRE4 Application Report SCLS381M Section 10.
Can SN74LV74APWRE4 replace SN74LV74APWR in existing designs?
Yes - SN74LV74APWRE4 is a drop-in replacement for SN74LV74APWR, sharing identical TSSOP-14 (PW) package dimensions, pinout, electrical specifications, and thermal characteristics. The "E4" suffix denotes TI's standard green packaging and tape-and-reel configuration, with no functional or timing differences from the base SN74LV74APWR part number.
