Dual D-type flip-flop in a through-hole DIP
The Texas Instruments 74AC11074N is a dual D-type flip-flop with independent set (preset) and reset inputs, positive-edge triggering, and complementary outputs. Each of the two elements stores one bit, clocked up to 150 MHz. The 14-pin DIP package is a through-hole part, so it sits on a breadboard or a production board with 0.300-inch row spacing — no reflow profile needed, just a clean wave or hand-solder joint.
Supply range and drive capability
Supply voltage spans 3 V to 5.5 V. Quiescent current is 4 µA.
150 MHz clock — timing margin for fast counters
Maximum clock frequency is 150 MHz. Propagation delay is 7.5 ns at 5 V, 50 pF.
Temperature range and environment
Rated for -40°C to 85°C ambient, this is an industrial-temperature part. It fits outdoor telecom cabinets, factory-floor PLC I/O modules, and engine-bay-adjacent electronics that see thermal cycling but not continuous under-hood heat. The 14-PDIP package has a modest thermal mass — no heatsinking needed, but keep it away from high-power resistors or regulators on the same board if ambient runs near the upper limit.
Lifecycle and sourcing posture
The 74AC11074N carries an Active lifecycle status and is ROHS3 compliant. For BOM planning, this means no last-time-buy scramble and no forced redesign to a different logic family.
