The 74S174PCQR is a D flip-flop in the S Series TTL logic family, designed for high-speed clocked storage in legacy digital systems. It is commonly used in counters, shift registers, and state-machine logic where the Schottky-clamped TTL process provides faster propagation than the standard 74LS series. The part is RoHS non-compliant, which means it is intended for repair, maintenance, or exempt-production runs where leaded solder is still permitted. For new designs requiring RoHS compliance, a 74ACT or 74AC equivalent should be evaluated.
Lifecycle and sourcing reality
Because this is a legacy TTL part, availability may vary by distributor inventory depth. We source and quote this part to order against an RFQ, with current pricing and lead time confirmed at quote time.
Package and handling
Supplied in bulk packaging, the 74S174PCQR is a through-hole device — typically a 16-pin DIP — suited for prototyping, rework, or low-volume production where tape-and-reel is not required. Bulk format also simplifies kitting for MRO and repair depots.
