SN74HCS174DR Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SN74HCS174DR is a D-Type flip-flop logic integrated circuit manufactured by Texas Instruments. This device functions as a single element, 6-bit positive edge-triggered flip-flop with complementary outputs and integrated set/preset and reset functionality. The part is classified as an active product and is supplied in a 16-SOIC surface mount package.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical performance, mechanical compatibility, and functional characteristics align with the original specification. The primary substitute for the SN74HCS174DR is the SN74HCS174QDRQ1, which maintains identical electrical parameters while adding automotive-grade qualification and AEC-Q100 compliance.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the SN74HCS174DR is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Equivalence Requirements:

  • Clock frequency: 200 MHz
  • Maximum propagation delay: 11 ns @ 6V, 50pF
  • Supply voltage range: 2V ~ 6V
  • Output current capability: 7.8 mA (high and low)
  • Quiescent current: 2 µA
  • Input capacitance: 5 pF
  • Operating temperature range: -40°C ~ 125°C

Functional Equivalence Requirements:

  • Type: D-Type flip-flop
  • Number of elements: 1
  • Number of bits per element: 6
  • Output type: Complementary
  • Trigger type: Positive edge
  • Function: Set(Preset) and Reset

Mechanical Equivalence Requirements:

  • Package: 16-SOIC (0.154", 3.90mm Width)
  • Mounting type: Surface mount
  • Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)

The SN74HCS174QDRQ1 meets all electrical, functional, and mechanical equivalence criteria and is therefore a direct parametric substitute for the SN74HCS174DR.
