Product details
Overview
74ACT11374DW from Texas Instruments is an octal edge-triggered D-type flip-flop with 3-state outputs in a 24-pin SOIC (DW) package, operating from 4.5 V to 5.5 V, featuring 24 mA output drive, 55 MHz max clock frequency, and –40°C to 85°C industrial temperature range-designed for bus interface, I/O port buffering, and bidirectional data latching in digital systems.
For engineers reviewing the 74ACT11374DW datasheet, 74ACT11374DW pinout, 74ACT11374DW application, or 74ACT11374DW equivalent, this device delivers TTL-compatible inputs, flow-through PCB layout optimization, center-pin VCC/GND noise reduction, and high-impedance bus isolation without external pull-ups-key for legacy 5 V logic interfacing and industrial control backplanes.
Technical Context
This device implements eight independent positive-edge-triggered D-type flip-flops with synchronous parallel loading and asynchronous 3-state output control via a shared OE input. Each flip-flop captures D-input state on CLK↑ and holds it until the next clock edge, while OE independently places all Q outputs into high-impedance mode without affecting internal latch state.
The 74ACT11374DW uses TI's EPIC (Enhanced-Performance Implanted CMOS) 1-μm process, delivering 500 mA latch-up immunity at 125°C, TTL-voltage-compatible inputs (VIH = 2 V, VIL = 0.8 V), and low-noise center-pin power/ground configuration-enabling robust operation in mixed-signal environments with minimal crosstalk.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the 74ACT11374DW?
The 74ACT11374DW supports a maximum clock frequency of 55 MHz across its full operating temperature range (–40°C to 85°C). This rating is verified under recommended conditions (VCC = 4.5 V to 5.5 V) and reflects guaranteed timing performance-not typical or best-case values. The 74ACT11374DW achieves this speed while maintaining 3 ns setup and 5.5 ns hold times, making it suitable for high-speed 5 V bus synchronization tasks.
Does the 74ACT11374DW require external pull-up resistors on its 3-state outputs?
No, the 74ACT11374DW does not require external pull-up resistors on its 3-state outputs. Its high-impedance state (Z) presents >1 MΩ off-state impedance, and the outputs are designed to float cleanly when OE is inactive-eliminating bus contention and enabling direct connection to shared lines without passive components. This behavior is confirmed in the function table and electrical characteristics section of the SCAS217A datasheet for the 74ACT11374DW.
Is the 74ACT11374DW pin-compatible with other 74ACT-series octal flip-flops like the 74ACT574?
No, the 74ACT11374DW is not pin-compatible with the 74ACT574. While both are 24-pin SOIC octal D-type devices, the 74ACT11374DW has dedicated D and Q pins on opposite sides (flow-through layout), whereas the 74ACT574 uses a different pinout with shared D/Q bidirectional ports and no separate OE pin. Substituting them requires PCB redesign. The 74ACT11374DW pinout is fixed per the DW package drawing in the SCAS217A datasheet.
What is the purpose of the multiple GND and VCC pins on the 74ACT11374DW?
The 74ACT11374DW features four GND pins (1–4, 21–24) and two VCC pins (14, 15) positioned centrally to minimize power distribution inductance and suppress simultaneous switching noise. This center-pin configuration reduces ground bounce during high-speed 3-state transitions and improves signal integrity across all eight channels-verified in TI's EPIC process characterization and explicitly called out in the SCAS217A datasheet as a key layout optimization.
Can the 74ACT11374DW operate reliably at 4.5 V supply voltage?
Yes, the 74ACT11374DW is fully specified and guaranteed to operate reliably at 4.5 V supply voltage-the minimum of its recommended operating range (4.5 V to 5.5 V). All key parameters-including 24 mA output drive, 55 MHz clock rate, and TTL-compatible input thresholds-are validated at VCC = 4.5 V per the SCAS217A datasheet's recommended operating conditions and electrical characteristics tables.
