Product details
Overview
SN74LVC74APWG4 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, delivering 5.2 ns propagation delay at 3.3 V, and supporting 5.5 V-tolerant inputs for mixed-voltage interfacing in digital control logic circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LVC74APWG4 datasheet, SN74LVC74APWG4 pinout, SN74LVC74APWG4 application, or SN74LVC74APWG4 equivalent, this device serves as a low-voltage, high-speed edge-triggered storage element in clock-domain synchronization, state machine sequencing, and frequency division-requiring precise setup/hold timing, rail-to-rail output drive, and robust ESD immunity.
Technical Context
The SN74LVC74APWG4 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 is voltage-level sensitive-not dependent on input slew rate-and supports operation across –40°C to 125°C.
Input overvoltage tolerance up to 5.5 V enables safe level translation between 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V domains. The device exhibits balanced push-pull outputs with ±24 mA drive capability at 3.0 V, and maintains sub-1 ns output skew under specified load conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.65 V to 3.6 V - Enables direct integration into modern low-power 1.8 V and 2.5 V systems without level shifters. |
| Max Propagation Delay | 5.2 ns at VCC = 3.3 V - Supports >100 MHz clock operation in synchronous logic paths with tight timing budgets. |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | Up to 5.5 V - Allows connection to legacy 5 V buses or higher-voltage control signals without external protection. |
| Output Drive Strength | ±24 mA at VCC = 3.0 V - Sufficient to drive multiple LVC loads or moderate PCB traces without signal degradation. |
| ESD Rating | ±2000 V HBM - Meets industrial-grade robustness requirements for handling and board assembly environments. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - Qualified for automotive under-hood, industrial motor control, and telecom infrastructure applications. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-14 (PW) package: 5.0 mm × 6.4 mm body, 0.65 mm pitch, exposed pad not present, RoHS-compliant NiPdAu finish, moisture sensitivity level 1 (260°C peak reflow).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1CLK, 2CLK | Positive-edge clock input | Triggers synchronous data capture on rising transition; threshold defined by VCC/2, insensitive to input slew rate. |
| 1D, 2D | Data input | Samples and latches logic level at CLK↑ if setup/hold times are met; unaffected by subsequent D changes after hold interval. |
| 1PRE, 2PRE | Asynchronous preset input | Active-low: forces Q = HIGH regardless of CLK or D state; overrides all synchronous functions when asserted. |
| 1CLR, 2CLR | Asynchronous clear input | Active-low: forces Q = LOW regardless of CLK or D state; provides hardware reset independent of clock domain. |
| 1Q, 2Q | True output | CMOS-compatible push-pull output; drives full VCC or GND rails with <0.55 V VOL and >VCC–0.2 V VOH at rated loads. |
| 1Q, 2Q | Inverted output | Complementary to true output; enables direct implementation of toggle or differential signaling without external inverters. |
| VCC | Power supply | Single 1.65–3.6 V supply; requires local 0.1 µF ceramic bypass capacitor placed adjacent to pin for noise suppression. |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return path for all I/O and internal logic; must be low-impedance and tied to system ground plane. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide supply range | 1.65 V to 3.6 V operation supports interoperability across 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V logic families without voltage translation. |
| 5.5 V-tolerant inputs | Enables direct interface to 5 V microcontrollers or sensors while powered from lower VCC, eliminating external level shifters. |
| Sub-6 ns propagation delay | Ensures reliable timing closure in high-speed digital systems such as clock dividers, pipeline registers, and state machines. |
| Asynchronous preset/clear | Provides deterministic initialization and emergency reset functionality independent of clock presence or frequency. |
| High ESD immunity | ±2000 V HBM rating reduces risk of field failure during handling, assembly, or end-user operation in harsh environments. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC74ADBR | TSSOP-14 replaced with SSOP-14 (6.2 mm × 7.8 mm); identical electrical specs and pinout; slightly higher RθJA (140.4°C/W vs. 150.8°C/W). | Preferred where board space allows larger footprint and existing SSOP tooling is in place; same thermal derating required above 50 mW. | Select SN74LVC74ADBR only when SSOP packaging is mandated by legacy layout or assembly line constraints. |
| 74LVC74ABQAR | WQFN-14 (3 mm × 2.5 mm) replaces TSSOP; identical logic function and timing; improved thermal resistance (RθJA = 102.3°C/W); no exposed pad. | Better suited for space-constrained portable or wearable devices requiring minimal PCB area and enhanced power density. | Choose 74LVC74ABQAR when board real estate is critical and reflow profile supports QFN mounting; verify solder mask clearance per TI SLUA754. |
Compared with SN74LVC74APWG4, SN74LVC74ADBR offers identical functionality in a wider SSOP package for legacy compatibility, while 74LVC74ABQAR delivers superior thermal performance and 45% smaller footprint in WQFN-enabling denser layouts without sacrificing timing or drive strength.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by SN74LVC74APWG4 at 3.3 V?
The SN74LVC74APWG4 supports a maximum clock frequency of 100 MHz at VCC = 3.3 V ± 0.3 V and TA = –40°C to 125°C. At TA = –40°C to 85°C, it achieves up to 150 MHz under the same supply conditions. These values are validated per TI's switching characteristics test methodology in the official datasheet SCAS287W.
Does SN74LVC74APWG4 require external pull-up resistors on PRE and CLR inputs?
No, SN74LVC74APWG4 does not require external pull-up resistors on PRE or CLR inputs. These inputs are internally biased and function correctly when left unconnected only if actively driven; however, TI recommends tying unused PRE/CLR pins to VCC via a 10 kΩ resistor or directly to VCC to prevent floating states and ensure deterministic operation per Application Report SCBA004.
Can SN74LVC74APWG4 safely interface with 5 V logic outputs?
Yes, SN74LVC74APWG4 supports 5.5 V-tolerant inputs, allowing direct connection to 5 V logic outputs without damage or level-shifting circuitry. Input voltage ratings remain valid across the full operating temperature range (–40°C to 125°C), provided VCC is within 1.65 V to 3.6 V and absolute maximum ratings are not exceeded.
What is the recommended bypass capacitor for SN74LVC74APWG4?
A 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor is recommended for SN74LVC74APWG4, placed as close as possible to the VCC pin with minimal trace length. This value is specified in TI's layout guidelines to suppress high-frequency supply noise and maintain stable output drive during fast edge transitions, especially critical given the device's 5.2 ns tpd and ±24 mA output capability.
How does the asynchronous clear function behave in SN74LVC74APWG4?
In SN74LVC74APWG4, asserting CLR low forces the corresponding Q output to LOW and Q to HIGH immediately-regardless of clock state or data input. This action overrides all synchronous behavior and persists until CLR is deasserted (returned high), at which point normal edge-triggered operation resumes on the next CLK↑, provided setup/hold timing is met.
