Product details
Overview
SN74LVC74ADRE4 from Texas Instruments is a dual positive-edge-triggered D-type flip-flop with independent preset and clear inputs, operating from 1.65 V to 3.6 V supply voltage, supporting 5.5 V-tolerant inputs, delivering ≤5.2 ns propagation delay at 3.3 V, and rated for –40°C to 125°C industrial temperature range - used in clock domain synchronization and data latching in digital control logic.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LVC74ADRE4 datasheet, SN74LVC74ADRE4 pinout, SN74LVC74ADRE4 application, or SN74LVC74ADRE4 equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-channel edge-triggered storage function, 14-pin SOIC (D) package, overvoltage-tolerant I/Os, low-voltage operation down to 1.65 V, and guaranteed timing performance across extended temperature.
Technical Context
The SN74LVC74ADRE4 implements two independent CMOS D flip-flops, each with asynchronous active-low preset (PRE) and clear (CLR) inputs that override clock and data states. Its positive-edge clock triggering occurs at a defined voltage threshold, not dependent on input slew rate.
Each flip-flop supports simultaneous Q and Q̅ outputs, enabling direct implementation of toggle-mode frequency division (÷2), synchronous state holding, and bus interface control - all while maintaining rail-to-rail output swing and robust noise immunity via hysteresis-free TTL-compatible thresholds.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 1.65 V to 3.6 V - enables direct interfacing with 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V logic domains without level shifters. |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | Up to 5.5 V - allows safe connection to higher-voltage buses or legacy 5 V signals without external protection. |
| Max Propagation Delay | 5.2 ns at VCC = 3.3 V - supports reliable operation up to 100 MHz clock frequency in high-speed digital control paths. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to 125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial motor drives, and telecom infrastructure applications. |
| Output Drive Strength | ±24 mA at VCC = 3 V - sufficient to drive multiple LVC loads or moderate PCB trace capacitance without buffering. |
| ESD Rating | ±2000 V HBM - meets JEDEC JESD22-A114A for robust handling in automated assembly and field environments. |
Pinout & Package
The SN74LVC74ADRE4 is supplied in a 14-pin SOIC (D) package measuring 8.65 mm × 6.00 mm (body size 8.65 mm × 3.91 mm), with standard 1.27 mm pitch and gull-wing leads compatible with IPC-7351B footprint IPC7351SOIC14_865X600_P127.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1CLK, 2CLK | Positive-edge clock input | Triggers synchronous data capture on rising edge; threshold-based triggering ensures consistent timing regardless of input slew rate. |
| 1D, 2D | Data input | Samples and transfers to Q/Q̅ outputs only when PRE and CLR are high and setup/hold times met relative to CLK↑. |
| 1PRE, 2PRE | Asynchronous preset input | Active-low: forces Q = HIGH, Q̅ = LOW immediately, overriding clock and data - used for known initial state assertion. |
| 1CLR, 2CLR | Asynchronous clear input | Active-low: forces Q = LOW, Q̅ = HIGH immediately - essential for reset-on-power-up or fault recovery sequences. |
| 1Q, 2Q | True output | Reflects stored D value after CLK↑; complementary to Q̅; capable of sourcing/sinking ±24 mA at 3 V. |
| 1Q̅, 2Q̅ | Inverted output | Logic complement of Q; enables direct implementation of toggle dividers or differential signaling without external inverters. |
| VCC | Power supply | Single 1.65–3.6 V rail; requires local 0.1 µF ceramic bypass capacitor placed adjacent to pin for stable switching noise suppression. |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return path for all I/O and internal logic; must be connected to low-impedance system ground plane. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent D flip-flops | Enables compact implementation of two synchronized storage elements in one IC - reduces board area vs discrete solutions. |
| Asynchronous PRE/CLR per channel | Allows deterministic initialization or forced reset without waiting for clock edges - critical for safety-critical startup and error recovery. |
| 5.5 V tolerant inputs | Eliminates need for external level translators when interfacing with mixed-voltage systems (e.g., 5 V sensors into 3.3 V FPGA logic). |
| Guaranteed timing at 125°C | Ensures functional correctness in high-temperature environments like industrial PLCs or automotive engine control units without derating. |
| Low dynamic power consumption | Typical ICC = 10 µA at VCC = 3.6 V - supports battery-backed or energy-constrained embedded control applications. |

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the SN74LVC74ADRE4?
The SN74LVC74ADRE4 supports up to 100 MHz at VCC = 3.3 V and TA = –40°C to 125°C, and up to 150 MHz at TA = –40°C to 85°C under same voltage conditions. These values are guaranteed by TI's switching characteristics tables and validated across process corners and temperature extremes.
Does the SN74LVC74ADRE4 require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on PRE and CLR inputs?
No - the SN74LVC74ADRE4 has no internal weak pull-ups or pull-downs on PRE or CLR. Unused PRE/CLR inputs must be actively tied to VCC (to disable) or GND (to assert) per TI's SCBA004 guidance; floating inputs risk metastability or unintended state changes.
Can the SN74LVC74ADRE4 safely interface with 5 V logic outputs?
Yes - the SN74LVC74ADRE4 inputs tolerate up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC level, allowing direct connection to 5 V CMOS or TTL outputs without level-shifting circuitry, provided output current limits (±50 mA) are respected.
What is the recommended bypass capacitor for the SN74LVC74ADRE4 VCC pin?
Texas Instruments recommends a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor placed as close as possible to the VCC pin of the SN74LVC74ADRE4, with short, low-inductance traces to GND - this suppresses high-frequency switching noise and prevents supply droop during output transitions.
Is the SN74LVC74ADRE4 RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes - the SN74LVC74ADRE4 is RoHS compliant and features NiPdAu (NIPDAU) lead finish, with MSL Level-1 rating (260°C peak reflow, unlimited floor life), per TI's official packaging documentation and orderable part status.
