Product details
Overview
74HC374DB,118 from Nexperia is an octal positive-edge-triggered D-type flip-flop with non-inverting 3-state outputs, designed for bus interface and data latching in digital systems. It operates across 2.0 V to 6.0 V supply, features independent register and output buffer control via CP and OE pins, and supports industrial temperature range (−40 °C to +125 °C). Its 20-pin SO20 package enables reliable signal isolation in microcontroller peripheral expansion and memory address/data buffering.
For engineers reviewing the 74HC374DB,118 datasheet, 74HC374DB,118 pinout, 74HC374DB,118 application, or 74HC374DB,118 equivalent, this page delivers verified functional architecture, timing-critical parameters (tpd = 14 ns @ VCC = 6.0 V), 3-state enable/disable behavior (ten = 12 ns, tdis = 14 ns), and real-world use context for synchronous bus hold and level-shifting scenarios.
Technical Context
The device implements eight independent D-type latches synchronized to the rising edge of CP, with set-up time (tsu = 10 ns) and hold time (th = 5 ns) defined at VCC = 6.0 V. Each flip-flop captures Dn input only when OE is LOW and CP transitions LOW-to-HIGH - enabling precise clock-domain synchronization without metastability propagation across outputs.
Its 3-state output buffer is decoupled from register state: OE controls output impedance independently, allowing concurrent latching and bus release. Input clamp diodes support interfacing to voltages exceeding VCC when used with current-limiting resistors, and CMOS-level inputs ensure compatibility with HC/HCT logic families.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Family | 74HC series - CMOS-compatible, TTL-input compatible variant not applicable; ensures low static power and high noise immunity in mixed-voltage systems. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.0 V to 6.0 V - supports direct interface with 3.3 V and 5 V logic domains without level shifters. |
| Propagation Delay (tpd) | 14 ns max @ VCC = 6.0 V, CL = 15 pF - enables reliable operation up to 35 MHz clock frequency in synchronous data capture. |
| 3-State Enable/Disable Time | ten = 12 ns, tdis = 14 ns @ VCC = 6.0 V - ensures fast bus arbitration with minimal contention window during output transitions. |
| Input Voltage Thresholds | VIH = 4.2 V, VIL = 1.8 V @ VCC = 6.0 V - provides 1.2 V noise margin for robust HIGH/LOW detection under varying load conditions. |
| Operating Temperature | −40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for industrial and extended-temperature embedded control applications including motor drives and PLC I/O modules. |
| Power Dissipation | ICC = 160 μA max @ VCC = 6.0 V, −40 °C to +125 °C - enables low-power data retention in battery-backed or energy-constrained subsystems. |
Pinout & Package
74HC374DB,118 is housed in a plastic small outline package (SO20, SOT163-1) with 20 leads and 7.5 mm body width. Pin 1 is index-marked; pin 10 is GND and pin 20 is VCC.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OE) | Output Enable (active LOW) | Asserting LOW enables all eight Qn outputs; HIGH forces high-impedance state without affecting internal register contents. |
| 2–9, 12–19 (Q0–Q7) | Data outputs | Non-inverting buffered outputs; each mirrors corresponding Dn input after CP edge if OE = LOW. |
| 3–4, 7–8, 13–14, 17–18 (D0–D7) | Data inputs | Asynchronous inputs sampled on CP rising edge; meet tsu = 10 ns / th = 5 ns at VCC = 6.0 V. |
| 11 (CP) | Clock pulse input | Rising-edge sensitive; triggers simultaneous sampling of all Dn inputs into respective flip-flops. |
| 10 (GND) | Ground reference | 0 V return path for all internal logic and output drivers; must be low-impedance for stable timing. |
| 20 (VCC) | Supply voltage | Primary power rail; supports 2.0–6.0 V operation; bypass capacitor recommended near pin for transient suppression. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Octal bus interface capability | Eight parallel D/Q channels with common OE allow single-cycle data capture and tri-state bus sharing in 8-bit microprocessor systems. |
| Independent register and buffer control | OE does not reset or alter stored flip-flop states - enables safe bus release while preserving latched data for subsequent read cycles. |
| Wide supply voltage range | 2.0 V to 6.0 V operation eliminates need for external voltage translation when interfacing 3.3 V controllers to 5 V peripherals. |
| High noise immunity | CMOS input structure with ≥1.2 V noise margin at VCC = 6.0 V reduces susceptibility to EMI-induced glitches in industrial environments. |
| ESD protection | HBM > 2000 V and CDM > 1000 V - meets JEDEC JS-001/JS-002 Class 2/C3, supporting robust handling in automated assembly lines. |
Applications
| Microcontroller Peripheral Expansion | Memory Address Latching |
|---|---|

Use Scenario: Expanding GPIO count of an ARM Cortex-M0+ MCU by adding parallel I/O ports via 8-bit data bus. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Acts as synchronized input latch and output driver; CP aligns Dn sampling to system clock edge, OE manages bus contention during DMA transfers. Use Value: Enables deterministic 8-bit parallel I/O with <15 ns timing uncertainty, eliminating software bit-banging overhead and reducing CPU load by 32% in polling-based sensor interfaces. |
Use Scenario: Capturing upper address bits from an 8051-based system before ALE deassertion to drive external SRAM. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Positive-edge-triggered latch holds address byte stable during memory access cycle; OE tied LOW ensures continuous drive to address decoder inputs. Use Value: Guarantees address setup time >20 ns relative to WR strobe, preventing address skew that causes spurious memory writes in 12 MHz bus systems. |
| Industrial Bus Isolation | Digital Signal Conditioning |
|
Use Scenario: Isolating Modbus RTU transmit/receive lines between RS-485 transceiver and FPGA UART controller. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides controlled 3-state buffering; OE toggled per half-duplex direction change to prevent bus collisions during TX/RX switching.

FAQ
Can 74HC374DB,118 operate at 3.3 V supply?
Yes - the device is fully specified from 2.0 V to 6.0 V, with guaranteed performance at 3.3 V. At VCC = 3.3 V, propagation delay is ≤28 ns, VIH = 2.31 V, and VOL ≤0.26 V with 6 mA load, meeting standard 3.3 V LVTTL interface requirements without level shifting.
What happens to Q outputs when OE is HIGH and CP toggles?
Q outputs remain in high-impedance (OFF) state regardless of CP activity. Internal flip-flop states are preserved unchanged - toggling CP while OE = HIGH has no effect on stored data or output drivers, enabling safe clock gating during bus arbitration.
Is there a minimum pulse width requirement for the CP input?
Yes - minimum CP HIGH and LOW times are both 14 ns at VCC = 6.0 V. This ensures proper internal node charging and avoids metastability; violating this spec may cause skipped edges or inconsistent latching, especially under temperature extremes.
How does input clamping diode functionality affect external circuit design?
The integrated input clamp diodes allow safe connection of Dn/OE/CP to voltages up to VCC + 0.5 V when series current-limiting resistors are used. For example, a 1 kΩ resistor limits clamp current to <20 mA when interfacing to a 12 V signal, protecting the IC without external diodes.
