Preset and Reset — not just a clocked flip-flop
The Set and Reset inputs are asynchronous and active-low. That means you can force the output high or low independent of the clock — useful for a power-on clear, a manual override, or a test-mode latch. The complementary outputs (Q and Q-bar) give you both polarities without an external inverter. Input capacitance is 2.5 pF, light enough to not load the driving gate.
Temperature grade and environment
Rated -40°C to 85°C, the industrial temperature range. This covers outdoor telecom cabinets, factory-floor controllers, and indoor equipment that sees ambient swings. Not automotive-grade (no AEC-Q100 claim), so not for under-hood or chassis-domain applications. The 8-VSSOP package is surface-mount only; no through-hole variant exists in this series.
Lifecycle and sourcing
TI lists the SN74AUC1G74DCUR as Active and ROHS3 compliant. No end-of-life notice or last-time-buy is in effect.
