Product details
Overview
SN74LVC1G79YEAR from Texas Instruments is a single positive-edge-triggered D-type flip-flop designed for 1.65V to 5.5V operation, delivering 6ns max propagation delay at 3.3V/50pF, ±24mA output drive, and Ioff-enabled partial-power-down protection. It serves as a compact data latch in low-voltage digital control paths, such as GPIO-expansion interfaces in portable electronics and power-glitch-resilient state retention circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LVC1G79YEAR datasheet, SN74LVC1G79YEAR pinout, SN74LVC1G79YEAR application, or SN74LVC1G79YEAR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package, 160MHz max clock frequency, 1.3ns min setup time at 3.3V, 0.5ns max hold time at 5V, and guaranteed data retention down to 1.5V VCC - critical for battery-backed or brownout-tolerant designs.
Technical Context
The SN74LVC1G79YEAR implements a standard CMOS D-flip-flop architecture with voltage-level–based clock triggering, decoupling timing behavior from input slew rate. Its logic diagram confirms non-inverting Q output and no reset/set pins - strictly edge-triggered storage with no asynchronous controls.
It features balanced push-pull outputs, over-voltage tolerant inputs (up to 5.5V regardless of VCC), and Ioff circuitry that disables all I/Os during power-down to prevent back-drive current. These traits enable safe level translation and hot-insertion compatibility in mixed-voltage systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 1.65V to 5.5V - supports direct interface with 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V, and 5V logic domains without level shifters. |
| tpd (max) | 6ns at 3.3V/50pF - enables reliable operation in high-speed control loops up to 160MHz clock frequency. |
| Output Drive | ±24mA at 3.3V - sufficient to directly drive multiple LVC inputs or small capacitive loads without buffering. |
| Ioff Leakage | ±10µA max - ensures robust isolation during partial power-down, preventing back-current damage in subsystem sleep modes. |
| Data Retention | Down to 1.5V VCC - maintains Q-state through brief supply dips, eliminating need for external backup latches in low-power MCU peripherals. |
| ESD Rating | ±2000V HBM - meets industrial-grade ESD immunity requirements without additional protection circuitry. |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | Up to 5.5V independent of VCC - allows interfacing with higher-voltage signals while powered from lower rails (e.g., 1.8V). |
Pinout & Package
SN74LVC1G79YEAR is packaged in the 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) NanoFree™ package (2.90mm × 2.80mm), where the silicon die serves as the package substrate - minimizing footprint and thermal resistance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - D | Data input | CMOS input accepting 0–5.5V; must meet tsu = 1.2ns (min) before CLK↑ at 3.3V to guarantee state capture. |
| 2 - CLK | Clock input | Positive-edge-triggered; threshold-based (not slew-dependent); requires tw ≥ 2.5ns pulse width at all VCC levels. |
| 3 - GND | Ground reference | Return path for all internal logic and output currents; must be low-impedance to maintain noise margin and timing integrity. |
| 4 - Q | Non-inverted output | Push-pull CMOS output; drives high/low actively; supports fan-out to ≥10 LVC loads at 3.3V. |
| 5 - VCC | Power supply | Supplies core logic and output drivers; requires local 0.1µF bypass capacitor to suppress switching noise and ensure stable tpd. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| NanoFree™ packaging | Die-as-package construction reduces board area by >50% vs. standard SOT-23, enabling ultra-compact PCB layouts in space-constrained modules. |
| Ioff partial-power-down | Automatically places D, CLK, and Q in high-Z when VCC = 0V - eliminates back-drive risk during hot-swap or multi-rail sequencing. |
| Over-voltage tolerant inputs | Accepts 5.5V signals while operating at 1.65V VCC - enables direct connection to legacy 5V buses without external translators. |
| Low ICC | 10µA max quiescent current - minimizes standby power in always-on monitoring circuits and battery-powered edge nodes. |
| Guaranteed data retention | Maintains Q-state at VCC ≥ 1.5V - provides fail-safe memory hold during microsecond-scale brownouts in automotive body-control modules. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar D-type flip-flop applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC1G74YEAR | Dual D-flip-flop in same DBV package; double the logic density but fixed dual-channel topology. | Requires both flip-flops; unsuitable when only single-bit storage is needed due to unused channel leakage and layout overhead. | Select SN74LVC1G74YEAR only when dual-latch functionality is required - avoids doubling component count in multi-signal systems. |
| 74LVC1G80GW,125 | Single D-type flip-flop in SC70-5 package; identical electrical specs but 2.0mm × 2.1mm footprint and 125°C rating. | Better thermal performance in high-ambient environments (e.g., enclosed telecom enclosures), but larger pad layout than DBV. | Choose 74LVC1G80GW,125 for extended temperature operation; SN74LVC1G79YEAR remains optimal for space-constrained 85°C designs. |
Compared with SN74LVC1G74YEAR and 74LVC1G80GW,125, the SN74LVC1G79YEAR offers the smallest footprint (2.90mm × 2.80mm), lowest layout overhead for single-bit use cases, and verified 1.5V data retention - making it the preferred choice for miniaturized, low-power, single-latch implementations.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the SN74LVC1G79YEAR?
The SN74LVC1G79YEAR supports a maximum clock frequency of 160MHz across its full operating range (–40°C to +125°C) and all valid VCC levels (1.65V to 5.5V), as confirmed by timing characterization with CL = 15pF, 30pF, and 50pF loads. This rating holds under worst-case process/voltage/temperature corners.
Does the SN74LVC1G79YEAR retain its output state during brief VCC drops?
Yes, the SN74LVC1G79YEAR guarantees data retention - maintaining the Q output state - down to VCC = 1.5V. Below 1.5V, retention is not specified. This behavior is validated per TI's application note and Figure 8-2 in the official datasheet, supporting robust operation during power glitches in battery-powered systems.
Can the SN74LVC1G79YEAR inputs safely accept 5V signals when powered from 1.8V?
Yes, the SN74LVC1G79YEAR inputs are over-voltage tolerant up to 5.5V regardless of VCC level. When operating at 1.8V, the D and CLK pins accept 0–5.5V input voltages without damage or functional degradation - enabling direct interfacing with 5V legacy peripherals without external level-shifting components.
What package type is used for the SN74LVC1G79YEAR?
The SN74LVC1G79YEAR uses the 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) NanoFree™ package, measuring 2.90mm × 2.80mm. This die-as-package construction eliminates traditional leadframe and mold compound, reducing thickness and thermal resistance while maximizing board-area efficiency.
How does the Ioff feature function in the SN74LVC1G79YEAR?
The Ioff feature in the SN74LVC1G79YEAR disables all inputs and outputs (D, CLK, Q) when VCC = 0V, limiting leakage current to ±10µA max. This prevents back-drive current from live signal lines into a powered-down subsystem - protecting both the SN74LVC1G79YEAR and upstream drivers during hot-swap or multi-rail power sequencing events.
