SN74AHC174N

Flip Flops Overview

The SN74AHC174N is a hex D-type flip-flop from the Texas Instruments AHC logic series, housed in a 16-pin PDIP package. It features six independent positive-edge-triggered D-type flip-flops with a common asynchronous clear input. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 2 V to 5.5 V and supports through-hole mounting. Key electrical parameters include a propagation delay of 14.5 ns, high-level output current of -8 mA, and low-level output current of 8 mA. It functions reliably across an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Flip Flops Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific part number matches the required AHC logic family specifications. Confirm the PDIP-16 package type aligns with PCB footprint requirements. Ensure the operating temperature range meets the environmental conditions of the target application. Cross-reference datasheet electrical characteristics against system design constraints before finalizing procurement decisions.

Flip Flops Selection Notes

Select this component when a hex D-type flip-flop with asynchronous clear functionality is required. The AHC series offers compatibility with standard 5 V logic levels while supporting lower voltages down to 2 V. Consider the PDIP-16 package for through-hole assembly needs. Evaluate propagation delay and drive current capabilities against circuit timing requirements.

Flip Flops Part Context

This component belongs to the SN74AHC174 series of hex D-type flip-flops manufactured by Texas Instruments. It is part of the broader AHC logic family, which provides advanced high-speed CMOS performance. The N suffix indicates the PDIP-16 through-hole package variant. This series is designed for applications requiring multiple synchronized storage elements with efficient power management.

Flip Flops Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include SN74AHCT174N for TTL-compatible inputs and SN74HCS174DR for Schmitt-trigger inputs in surface-mount packages. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical specifications before substitution.
