These dual positive-edge-triggered D-type
flip-flops are designed for 2-V to 5.5-V V
CC
operation.
A low level at the preset (PRE
) or clear (CLR)
inputs sets or resets the outputs, regardless of the
levels of the other inputs. When PRE
and CLR are
inactive (high), data at the data (D) inputs meeting
the setup-time requirements is transferred to the
outputs on the positive-going edge of the clock
pulse. Clock triggering occurs at a voltage level
and is not directly related to the rise time of the
clock pulse. Following the hold-time interval, data
at the D input can be changed without affecting the
levels at the outputs.
The SN54LV74A is characterized for operation over the full military temperature range of –55°C to 125°C.
The SN74LV74A is characterized for operation from –40°C to 85°C.

Stresses beyond those listed under “absolute maximum ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and
functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under “recommended operating conditions” is not
implied. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
NOTES: 1. The input and output voltage ratings may be exceeded if the input and output current ratings are observed.
2. This value is limited to 7 V maximum.
3. The package thermal impedance is calculated in accordance with JESD 51.
