The Texas Instruments SN74LV174APW is a 6-bit D-type flip-flop with a master-reset function, positive-edge triggered, and non-inverted outputs. It belongs to the 74LV family — low-voltage CMOS logic that operates from 2V to 5.5V. The 180 MHz clock frequency covers fast parallel buses, SPI clock lines, or address latching in a moderate-speed controller.
12 mA output drive — enough for standard fan-out
Each output can source or sink 12 mA. That drives a handful of 74LV or 74HC inputs, a small LED, or a relay-driver transistor base. It is not a heavy line driver — if you need to push a long backplane trace or a 50-ohm terminated line, plan on a buffer. The quiescent current is only 20 µA, so the part does not waste power when idle.
That means no last-time-buy scramble, no forced redesign to a different footprint.
