Hi,
What is the input impedance of the CLR\ pin on SN74LVC1G175?
Can I drive this pin directly from the output of and AND gate?
I am having problem where the output Q will go low before the CLR\ pin drops to 0.3Vcc.
Thanks!

These are CMOS inputs so they would be high impedance. greater than 1Mohm.
It can be driven by and AND gate.
Hi Chris,
I am using this part as described in my design. I have the output of an AND gate directly connected to the /CLR input. What I noticed happening is the output of the flip-flop going low with very small changes on the /CLR input. The datasheet says that the low input at 5V Vcc should be 0.3 x Vcc (1.5V). I monitored the /CLR input and flip-flop output with a scope and I found that the output would go low before I could even notice a drop on the /CLR input. I decided to add some series resistance between the AND gate output and the /CLR input to see if it would fix the problem. With 1K series resistance the output would go low when /CLR dropped to about 4.0V. With 10K series resistance the output would go low when /CLR dropped to about 2.5V. This is still not 1.5V as the datasheet says, but it was improving.
I am not understanding the reason for this behavior. I just recently noticed in the datasheet that there is a dt/dV limit of 10ns/V on any input. Could this be the cause of the problem? With a 1K series resistance I noticed a dt/dV of about 8ns/V, and with a 10K resistance I noticed a dt/dV of about 25ns/V. Would exceeding the dt/dV rating of the part cause the output to change prematurely?
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Hi Matthew
I dont have any answers here. The part was tested to datasheet Vih and Vil so it should work here. Slow rise and fall on the inputs can cause problems i really dont think 25ns/V would cause any problems at romm temp. Could any of the other inputs be causing the problem.
The other inputs are not changing state. I was able to fix the problem by adding 10K series resistance and a 10nF cap to GND on the /CLR input pin. I am not sure why this fixed it, but it seems that the /CLR input is extremely sensitive to noise. It is still triggering at 2.5V, not 1.5V like the datasheet says. Maybe some of these parts are out of spec?
