SN74HC74N-NG Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SN74HC74N-NG is a dual D-type flip-flop logic integrated circuit manufactured by Texas Instruments. This component functions as a 2-element D-type flip-flop with 1-bit per element, featuring complementary outputs and positive edge triggering. The device is classified as an active product with full RoHS3 compliance.

Substitute parts are identified when components share identical electrical characteristics, functional specifications, and mechanical compatibility within the 74HC logic family. Alternative part numbers may differ in packaging configuration or supplier inventory status while maintaining full functional equivalence.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SN74HC74N-NG is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Functional Parameters: Type (D-Type), number of elements (2), bits per element (1), output configuration (Complementary), and trigger mechanism (Positive Edge) must be identical.

Electrical Parameters: Clock frequency (60 MHz), propagation delay (30 ns @ 6V, 50pF), supply voltage range (2V–6V), output current (5.2 mA), quiescent current (4 µA), and input capacitance (3 pF) must match exactly.

Mechanical Parameters: Package type (14-DIP with 0.300" / 7.62mm pitch) and mounting method (Through Hole) must be identical.

Compliance Parameters: RoHS3 compliance status must be maintained.

Substitute parts within the 74HC series that satisfy all these criteria are considered parametric equivalents regardless of packaging configuration (Tube vs. other formats) or inventory source.
