Product details
Overview
74ACT374FP-E from Renesas is an octal D-type flip-flop with 3-state outputs, TTL-compatible inputs, and positive-edge-triggered clock logic. It operates from 4.5 V to 5.5 V, delivers ±24 mA output drive, supports bus-oriented data latching in industrial control and digital instrumentation, and features common buffered Clock (CP) and Output Enable (OE) inputs.
For engineers reviewing the 74ACT374FP-E datasheet, 74ACT374FP-E pinout, 74ACT374FP-E application, or 74ACT374FP-E equivalent, this page provides verified functional specifications, package mapping to SOP-20 (FP-20DAV), truth table behavior, timing constraints including 90 MHz max clock frequency at VCC = 5.0 V, and real-world design implications for bus isolation and synchronous data capture.
Technical Context
The 74ACT374FP-E implements eight independent edge-triggered D flip-flops sharing a single buffered CP input and a common OE control line. Each flip-flop samples its Dn input on the low-to-high CP transition and holds the value until the next valid clock edge, satisfying setup (min 7.0 ns) and hold (min 1.5 ns) requirements at VCC = 5.0 V.
When OE is low, all eight Q outputs (O0–O7) drive actively with VOH ≥ 3.80 V and VOL ≤ 0.37 V at IOL/IOH = ±24 mA; when OE is high, outputs enter high-impedance state with IOZ ≤ ±5.0 µA across –40°C to +85°C. The device uses AC-characterized propagation delays (tPLH/tPHL ≤ 11.5 ns) and disable times (tHZ/tLZ ≤ 12.5 ns) under CL = 50 pF loading.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ACT374N | DIP-20 package, same AC/DC specs, no lead-free plating | Through-hole prototyping or legacy board repair where SOP footprint unavailable | Select when mechanical mounting or hand-soldering is required; identical logic function and timing. |
| 74AC374FP-E | Lower drive (±24 mA vs ±24 mA), higher VIH (2.1 V min), no TTL compatibility | Low-power 3.3 V or mixed-voltage systems where input threshold alignment matters | Choose for 3.3 V–5 V hybrid designs needing reduced ICC (8 µA vs 80 µA quiescent) and relaxed input thresholds. |
Compared with SN74ACT374N and 74AC374FP-E, the 74ACT374FP-E uniquely combines TTL-compatible inputs with SOP-20 surface-mount packaging and industrial temperature rating, making it optimal for space-constrained, noise-immune, bus-isolated applications where legacy logic interfacing is required without level translation.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the 74ACT374FP-E?
The 74ACT374FP-E supports a maximum clock frequency of 90 MHz at VCC = 5.0 V across the full operating temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), as specified in the AC Characteristics table. This value reflects guaranteed performance under CL = 50 pF loading and accounts for worst-case propagation delays (tPLH/tPHL ≤ 11.5 ns) and setup/hold timing margins. At 25°C, typical fmax reaches 160 MHz.
Does the 74ACT374FP-E have TTL-compatible inputs, and why does that matter?
Yes, the 74ACT374FP-E has TTL-compatible inputs, meaning VIH is guaranteed ≥ 2.0 V and VIL ≤ 0.8 V at VCC = 5.5 V. This allows direct interfacing with legacy 74LS and other TTL-family logic without level-shifting circuitry, simplifying integration into mixed-technology systems and reducing BOM count and board area in industrial control and instrumentation designs using the 74ACT374FP-E.
How does the Output Enable (OE) pin function in the 74ACT374FP-E?
In the 74ACT374FP-E, the OE pin is an active-low control that places all eight outputs (O0–O7) into high-impedance state when driven high, regardless of clock or stored data state. When OE is low, outputs reflect the latched Dn values on the next rising CP edge. This enables safe bus sharing in multi-device systems - the 74ACT374FP-E only drives the bus when selected, preventing contention and signal corruption.
What package type is used for the 74ACT374FP-E, and what are its key mechanical features?
The 74ACT374FP-E uses the SOP-20 package with JEITA code FP-20DAV: 12.6 mm × 7.5 mm body, 0.65 mm lead pitch, Ni/Pd/Au plating, and lead-free compliance. Its compact footprint supports high-density PCB layouts, while the gull-wing leads provide reliable reflow soldering and mechanical stability. The package mass is 0.31 g, and thermal resistance (θJA) is optimized for industrial ambient conditions where the 74ACT374FP-E operates.
Can the 74ACT374FP-E operate at 3.3 V supply voltage?
No, the 74ACT374FP-E is not characterized or guaranteed for operation at 3.3 V. Its recommended operating supply range is 4.5 V to 5.5 V, and DC/AC specifications (including VIH/VIL thresholds, VOH/VOL levels, and fmax) are only validated within that range. For 3.3 V systems, the functionally similar 74AC374FP-E or 74LVC374A should be considered instead - the 74ACT374FP-E requires a stable 5 V rail to meet its published timing and drive specifications.
