What this 74LV D-type flip-flop is and where it fits
The SN74LV175AD is a single-element 4-bit D-type flip-flop from the 74LV series. It captures data on the positive edge of the clock and presents complementary outputs. A master-reset input forces all outputs low asynchronously.
165 MHz clock and 9.3 ns propagation delay — what they mean for the bus
The 165 MHz clock frequency is the maximum toggle rate. Propagation delay is 9.3 ns at 5V with a 50 pF load. The 12 mA output drive charges a short trace or one to two standard CMOS loads.
Sourcing and lifecycle — active, no LTB risk
The SN74LV175AD carries an active lifecycle status and is ROHS3 compliant. There is no last-time-buy or end-of-life notice on this part. It is a current-production 74LV device from TI, so it qualifies for new designs and volume production without obsolescence risk. For BOM resilience, the 16-SOIC footprint is shared across the 74LV and 74LVC families, so a pin-compatible second source from another logic family is straightforward if supply tightens.
