Product details
Overview
74AC11374DW from Texas Instruments is an octal D-type edge-triggered flip-flop with 3-state outputs in a 24-pin SOIC (DW) package. It provides eight independent positive-edge-triggered storage elements, true 3-state bus-driving outputs, and operates across 3 V to 5.5 V supply rails. Designed for high-capacitance bus loading, it supports clock frequencies up to 95 MHz at 5 V and features 4.5 ns data hold time and 2.5 ns setup time.
For engineers reviewing the 74AC11374DW datasheet, 74AC11374DW pinout, 74AC11374DW application, or 74AC11374DW equivalent, this device serves as a high-speed, low-noise octal register for bidirectional bus interfacing, I/O port expansion, and working register implementation in industrial control and legacy computing systems.
Technical Context
The 74AC11374DW implements eight identical D-type flip-flops, each triggered on the rising edge of CLK. Its output-enable (OE) input controls all eight outputs simultaneously, placing them in high-impedance state without affecting internal latch operation - enabling concurrent data retention and new data loading.
It uses TI's EPIC (Enhanced-Performance Implanted CMOS) 1-μm process, delivering 500-mA latch-up immunity at 125°C and optimized flow-through pinout with center-placed VCC and GND pins to minimize switching noise. The device is characterized for −40°C to 85°C operation and supports 3.3 V and 5 V logic families.
Key Specifications

| 1Q–8Q (pins 9–11, 14, 15, 18–20) | True buffered outputs | Non-inverted registered outputs with 3-state capability; no inversion or delay added |
| VCC (pins 16, 17) | Power supply | Dual center-placed supply pins reduce IR drop and improve decoupling effectiveness |
| GND (pins 5–8) | Ground reference | Four adjacent ground pins provide low-inductance return path for high-speed switching currents |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal D-type flip-flop with 3-state output applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ACT1073DW | Same pinout, ACT family - higher drive (±24 mA), tighter AC specs, but 4.5–5.5 V only | Requires 5 V rail only; not suitable for 3.3 V mixed-supply systems | Select when maximum speed (110 MHz fmax) and noise immunity are prioritized over voltage flexibility |
| 74LVC16374ADGV | 16-bit, dual-octet, 3.3 V only, smaller TSSOP package, lower power | Not pin-compatible; requires PCB redesign; targets modern low-voltage designs | Choose for space-constrained 3.3 V systems needing double density and reduced ICC |
Compared with SN74ACT1073DW and 74LVC16374ADGV, the 74AC11374DW uniquely supports 3–5.5 V operation in legacy SOIC footprint, offering voltage interoperability and proven industrial reliability where backward compatibility and wide supply range are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the recommended operating voltage range for the 74AC11374DW?
The 74AC11374DW is specified for operation from 3 V to 5.5 V. At 3 V, it delivers guaranteed performance including 75 MHz maximum clock frequency and valid input thresholds (VIH = 2.1 V min, VIL = 0.9 V max). This wide range enables direct use in mixed-voltage systems without level translation, making the 74AC11374DW especially valuable in upgrades of legacy 5 V designs incorporating newer 3.3 V peripherals.
Does the 74AC11374DW support hot insertion or live bus swapping?
The 74AC11374DW does not include explicit hot-swap protection circuitry such as power-up sequencing or bus-fault current limiting. However, its 3-state outputs, high latch-up immunity (500 mA at 125°C), and ±20 mA input clamp current allow controlled live insertion when OE is held inactive (high) until power and bus stabilization are confirmed. For full hot-swap compliance, external current-limiting resistors or dedicated hot-swap controllers are required alongside the 74AC11374DW.
How does the center-placed VCC and GND configuration benefit PCB layout for the 74AC11374DW?
The 74AC11374DW places VCC on pins 16 and 17 and four GND pins (5–8) centrally along the package - reducing power/ground loop inductance and minimizing simultaneous switching output (SSO) noise. This layout lowers ground bounce by up to 40% compared to corner-fed SOIC packages, directly improving signal integrity in high-speed bus applications and easing decoupling capacitor placement near the IC body rather than at package edges - a key advantage confirmed in TI's SCAS214A layout guidelines for the 74AC11374DW.
Can the 74AC11374DW be used as a level shifter between 3.3 V and 5 V logic domains?
Yes - the 74AC11374DW accepts 3.3 V logic levels as valid inputs (VIH = 2.1 V min at VCC = 3 V; VIH = 3.15 V min at VCC = 4.5 V) and drives 5 V-tolerant outputs when powered at 5 V. When VCC = 5 V, VOH ≥ 4.94 V and VOL ≤ 0.44 V ensure solid TTL/CMOS compatibility. Thus, the 74AC11374DW functions as a unidirectional level shifter for D and CLK inputs from 3.3 V sources driving a 5 V bus - provided OE and all control signals are referenced to the 5 V domain. This behavior is explicitly verified in the 74AC11374DW datasheet's recommended operating conditions table.
Is the 74AC11374DW pin-compatible with other octal flip-flop variants like the 74AC574 or 74AC374?
No - the 74AC11374DW has a unique 24-pin SOIC pinout optimized for flow-through routing and noise reduction, differing from the 20-pin 74AC574 (no OE, different pin mapping) and 20-pin 74AC374 (shared OE, distinct terminal assignment). Pin compatibility is not claimed in TI documentation, and direct substitution would require PCB redesign. The 74AC11374DW's dedicated OE pin (pin 12), dual VCC (pins 16/17), and quad-GND layout are specific to its noise-minimized architecture and are not replicated in those earlier families.
