Product details
Overview
74AC11374DWR from Texas Instruments is an octal D-type edge-triggered flip-flop with 3-state outputs in a 24-pin SOIC (DW) package, operating from −40°C to 85°C at VCC = 3–5.5 V. It features positive-edge clock triggering, independent output-enable control, and bus-driving capability with ±24 mA output drive at 5 V. It is used in bidirectional bus interfaces and I/O port expansion.
For engineers reviewing the 74AC11374DWR datasheet, 74AC11374DWR pinout, 74AC11374DWR application, or 74AC11374DWR equivalent, this page delivers verified functional behavior, timing constraints (95 MHz max clock at 5 V), 3-state switching specs (tPZL/tPHZ ≤ 9.4 ns), and real-world use context for legacy logic system design and bus buffering.
Technical Context
This device implements eight independent D-type flip-flops sharing a common clock (CLK) and output-enable (OE) input. Each flip-flop captures D-input data on the rising edge of CLK and holds it until the next active clock edge. OE controls all eight outputs simultaneously, placing them in high-impedance (Z) state without affecting internal latch operation.
The 74AC11374DWR uses EPIC (Enhanced-Performance Implanted CMOS) 1-μm process technology, delivering 500-mA latch-up immunity at 125°C and optimized flow-through pinout for PCB layout. Its center-pin VCC/GND configuration reduces high-speed switching noise, supporting stable operation in dense digital systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Family | Advanced CMOS (AC), compatible with TTL input thresholds |
| Supply Voltage Range | 3 V to 5.5 V - supports mixed-voltage system interfacing |
| Max Clock Frequency | 95 MHz at VCC = 5 V - enables high-speed synchronous data latching |
| Output Drive Strength | ±24 mA at VCC = 5 V - sufficient to drive 50-pF loads or standard TTL inputs |

Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Expansion | Legacy Bus Interface Buffering |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Adding parallel digital I/O capability to programmable logic controllers using ISA or VME backplanes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Acts as an 8-bit synchronized input latch and tri-state output register, isolating field-side signals from controller bus timing. Use Value: Enables deterministic sampling of sensor inputs and glitch-free output updates via shared CLK and OE control, reducing firmware overhead. |
Use Scenario: Interfacing microprocessor address/data buses to peripheral devices with mismatched timing or drive strength. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides level-shifted, latched, and bus-isolated data path between CPU and slower peripherals (e.g., ADCs, DACs, EEPROM). Use Value: Eliminates need for discrete pull-ups or bus transceivers by delivering ±24 mA drive and sub-10 ns 3-state transitions at 5 V. |
| Bidirectional Data Bus Transceiver | Buffer Register for Test Equipment |
Use Scenario: Implementing half-duplex communication on shared 8-bit data buses in automated test systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Functions as direction-controlled register: D inputs capture upstream data on CLK↑, Q outputs drive downstream bus when OE = L. Use Value: Supports precise timing alignment across multiple 74AC11374DWR devices using common CLK/OE, enabling synchronized multi-byte transfers. |
Use Scenario: Capturing and holding stimulus patterns during high-speed digital pattern generation or boundary-scan testing. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Serves as static hold register - retains pattern after clock edge while test sequencer executes other operations. Use Value: Maintains stable output during OE high-impedance state, allowing safe reconfiguration of adjacent logic without bus contention. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal D-type flip-flop applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ACT138N | 3-to-8 decoder (not flip-flop); no storage, no CLK or OE | Used for address decoding, not data latching or bus driving | Not functionally substitutable - lacks sequential logic and 3-state outputs |
| 74AC574DW | Octal D-type latch (edge-triggered), same DW package, but single OE per group of 4 outputs | Less flexible bus control - requires two OE signals vs. one for full 8-bit control | Acceptable where partial bus isolation suffices; otherwise 74AC11374DWR offers superior centralized control |
Compared with SN74ACT138N and 74AC574DW, the 74AC11374DWR uniquely combines full 8-bit edge-triggered storage, single-pin OE control, and bus-optimized 3-state outputs - making it the only direct fit for applications requiring synchronized, isolated 8-bit register functionality with minimal control logic.

FAQ
What is the function of the OE pin on the 74AC11374DWR?
The OE (output enable) pin on the 74AC11374DWR is an active-low control that places all eight Q outputs into high-impedance state when asserted high. It does not affect internal flip-flop operation - data can be latched or retained while outputs remain isolated. This allows safe bus sharing without contention, and is critical for multi-master or hot-swap-capable designs using the 74AC11374DWR.
Does the 74AC11374DWR support 3.3 V operation?
Yes, the 74AC11374DWR supports 3.3 V operation within its specified supply range of 3 V to 5.5 V. At VCC = 3.3 V, it delivers guaranteed 75 MHz maximum clock frequency, 2.58 V VOH (IOH = −4 mA), and 0.44 V VOL (IOL = 12 mA), making it interoperable with mixed-voltage 3.3 V/5 V systems when used with appropriate level-aware timing margins for the 74AC11374DWR.
What is the pin count and package type of the 74AC11374DWR?
The 74AC11374DWR uses a 24-pin plastic small-outline (SOIC) package designated DW, with 300-mil body width and gull-wing leads. Its pinout features dual VCC (pins 19–20), quad GND (pins 5–8), and flow-through arrangement - D inputs on left, Q outputs on right - optimizing PCB layout for the 74AC11374DWR in high-density digital boards.
Is the 74AC11374DWR still in active production?
No, the 74AC11374DWR is marked OBSOLETE by Texas Instruments per their packaging addendum. However, Aetrix Electronics maintains verified inventory through authorized surplus channels with full traceability, enabling continued use in maintenance, repair, and legacy system sustainment programs relying on the 74AC11374DWR.
How does the 74AC11374DWR differ from standard 74AC574 devices?
The 74AC11374DWR integrates eight independent D-type flip-flops with a single global OE pin and flow-through pinout, whereas the 74AC574DW groups outputs into two banks each controlled by separate OE pins. The 74AC11374DWR also features center-placed VCC/GND pins to suppress noise - a distinction critical for stable high-speed bus operation not found in the base 74AC574 design.
