NEXPERIA 74HC74 Dual D Flip-Flop, 14-Pin SOIC, 14ns

The NEXPERIA 74HC74 is a high-performance, dual positive edge-triggered D-type flip-flop presented in a compact SOIC-14 package. This integrated circuit (IC) is designed for reliable data storage and transfer in digital systems, offering individual control inputs and complementary outputs for each of its two independent flip-flops. Each section features dedicated data (nD), clock (nCP), set (nSD), and reset (nRD) inputs, providing maximum flexibility in circuit design.

Data present at the nD input is transferred to the nQ output on the low-to-high (positive edge) transition of the clock signal, provided it meets the specified set-up and hold time requirements. A key feature is the inclusion of Schmitt-trigger action on the clock input, which significantly enhances noise immunity and makes the device highly tolerant to slower clock rise and fall times, ensuring stable operation in real-world environments. Input protection is provided by clamp diodes, allowing the use of current-limiting resistors to safely interface the inputs with voltage signals exceeding the VCC supply.

Engineered for efficiency and robustness, the 74HC74 boasts symmetrical output impedance, balanced propagation delays, and low power dissipation. It is specified in compliance with JEDEC standard no. 7A, guaranteeing consistent quality and performance. With a wide operating voltage range from 2V to 6V and an extensive temperature range from -40°C to 125°C, this component is suited for demanding industrial and commercial applications. Its small outline integrated circuit (SOIC) package is ideal for space-constrained PCB designs.
