DM74LS74A
Dual Positive-Edge-Triggered D Flip-Flops with Preset,
Clear and Complementary Outputs
General Description
This device contains two independent
positive-edge-triggered D flip-flops with complementary out-
puts. The information on the D input is accepted by the
flip-flops on the positive going edge of the clock pulse. The
triggering occurs at a voltage level and is not directly related
to the transition time of the rising edge of the clock. The data
on the D input may be changed while the clock is low or high
without affecting the outputs as long as the data setup and
hold times are not violated. A low logic level on the preset or
clear inputs will set or reset the outputs regardless of the
logic levels of the other inputs.
Features
nAlternate military/aerospace device (54LS74) is
available. Contact a Fairchild Semiconductor Sales
Office/Distributor for specifications.

Note 2:
The “Absolute Maximum Ratings” are those values beyond which the safety of the device cannot be guaranteed. The device should not be operated at these
limits. The parametric values defined in the “Electrical Characteristics” table are not guaranteed at the absolute maximum ratings. The “Recommended Operating
Conditions” table will define the conditions for actual device operation.

Note 7: All typicals are at VCC =5V, TA=25˚C.
Note 8: Not more than one output should be shorted at a time, and the duration should not exceed one second. For devices, with feedback from the outputs, where
shorting the outputs to ground may cause the outputs to change logic state an equivalent test may be performed where VO=2.25V and 2.125V for DM54 and DM74
series, respectively, with the minimum and maximum limits reduced by one half from their stated values. This is very useful when using automatic test equipment.
Note 9: With all outputs open, ICC is measured with CLOCK grounded after setting the Q and Q outputs high in turn.
