Product details
Overview
74HCT374PW,118 from Nexperia is an octal positive-edge-triggered D-type flip-flop with non-inverting 3-state outputs, designed for bus interface applications requiring TTL-level input compatibility, 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply operation, and −40 °C to +125 °C industrial temperature range. It features independent register and output buffer control via separate CP and OE inputs, enabling synchronous data latching and asynchronous output tri-state management in digital systems such as microcontroller peripheral buses and address/data multiplexing circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 74HCT374PW,118 datasheet, 74HCT374PW,118 pinout, 74HCT374PW,118 application, or 74HCT374PW,118 equivalent, key selection criteria include TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max at VCC = 5 V), propagation delay of 13 ns typical (CL = 15 pF), 3-state enable/disable times ≤45 ns, and TSSOP20 package suitability for high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device implements eight independent D-type flip-flops sharing a common clock (CP) and a single active-low output enable (OE). Each flip-flop captures the logic state of its D-input on the LOW-to-HIGH transition of CP, provided setup (12 ns min) and hold (5 ns min) timing requirements are met. The 3-state outputs remain unaffected by OE transitions - register state is preserved regardless of output buffer activation.
Input clamping diodes allow safe interfacing to voltages exceeding VCC when used with current-limiting resistors. Static characteristics confirm TTL-level compatibility: VIH ≥ 2.0 V and VIL ≤ 0.8 V across the full 4.5 V–5.5 V supply range, while VOH ≥ 3.98 V and VOL ≤ 0.26 V at IO = ±6 mA ensure robust noise margins in mixed-logic systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Family | 74HCT - TTL-compatible CMOS, enabling direct interfacing with legacy 5 V TTL logic without level shifters. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - Ensures stable operation across standard 5 V ±10 % power rails in industrial and embedded systems. |
| Propagation Delay (tpd) | 13 ns typical (VCC = 5.0 V, CL = 15 pF) - Supports reliable operation up to 48 MHz maximum clock frequency in synchronous bus designs. |
| 3-State Enable Time (ten) | 16 ns typical (VCC = 4.5 V) - Enables fast bus arbitration and reduces contention window during output activation. |
| Input Thresholds | VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max - Matches standard TTL voltage levels, eliminating need for external translation circuitry. |
| Operating Temperature | −40 °C to +125 °C - Qualified for under-hood automotive peripherals, industrial PLC I/O modules, and harsh-environment control systems. |
| Output Drive | ±6 mA (VOH/VOL specified at IO = ±6 mA) - Sufficient to drive multiple 74-series inputs or short PCB traces without buffering. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP20 plastic thin shrink small outline package (SOT360-1), 20 leads, body width 4.4 mm, 0.65 mm pitch - optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts while maintaining thermal and mechanical reliability in reflow-soldered assemblies.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OE | Active-low 3-state output enable; HIGH forces all Q outputs into high-impedance OFF-state without affecting internal register state. |
| 2 | VCC | Positive supply rail (4.5–5.5 V); decoupling capacitor placement near this pin is critical for noise suppression. |
| 3–4, 7–8, 13–14, 17–18 | D0–D7 | Eight asynchronous data inputs; each directly controls corresponding flip-flop's next-state value on CP rising edge. |
| 5–6, 9, 12, 15–16, 19 | Q0–Q7 | Eight non-inverting registered outputs; tri-stated simultaneously when OE = HIGH, preserving data integrity during bus sharing. |
| 10 | GND | Ground reference (0 V); must be low-impedance connection to minimize switching noise coupling into logic paths. |
| 11 | CP | Clock pulse input; rising-edge sensitive; requires clean, monotonic transition to avoid metastability or double-clocking. |
| 20 | VCC | Redundant supply pin - improves power distribution uniformity and reduces IR drop across die in high-speed operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| TTL-level input compatibility | VIH ≥ 2.0 V and VIL ≤ 0.8 V at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V - eliminates level-shifter components when interfacing with legacy 5 V TTL microcontrollers or FPGAs. |
| Independent register and 3-state control | OE input does not affect flip-flop state - enables glitch-free bus release while retaining latched data for subsequent read cycles. |
| Clamped inputs with current-limiting support | Integrated input clamp diodes allow safe connection to voltages > VCC using external series resistors - simplifies mixed-voltage signal routing. |
| High noise immunity | Typical noise margin > 0.7 V (VCC = 5 V) due to CMOS threshold design - ensures reliable operation in electrically noisy industrial environments. |
| JEDEC-compliant packaging and testing | SOT360-1 (TSSOP20) meets JESD22-A114 (ESD HBM > 2000 V) and JESD78 Class II Level B latch-up immunity (>100 mA) - supports robust manufacturing and field reliability. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74HCT374PWR (Texas Instruments) | Identical logic function, pinout, and DC specs; slightly higher ICC (160 μA max vs. 80 μA typ) and longer tpd (17 ns typ at 5 V). | Valid for same bus interface roles but may require tighter power budgeting in low-quiescent systems. | Select if TI supply chain preference or dual-sourcing strategy applies; verify layout compatibility with wider SOIC-20 footprint. |
| 74HCT374D,653 (Nexperia SO20) | Same electrical specs and timing, but in SO20 package (SOT163-1) with 7.5 mm body width and 1.27 mm pitch. | Better thermal dissipation (Ptot = 500 mW) but occupies ~2.5× more board area than TSSOP20. | Choose for manual assembly, prototyping, or thermal-limited applications where TSSOP reflow is impractical. |

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the 74HCT374PW,118?
The 74HCT374PW,118 supports a maximum clock frequency of 48 MHz under recommended conditions (VCC = 5.0 V, CL = 15 pF), verified by dynamic characterization in Table 7 of the datasheet. This limit assumes proper PCB layout, adequate decoupling, and adherence to setup/hold timing margins - actual system-level frequency may be lower depending on trace length and load capacitance.
Can OE be toggled while CP is active without corrupting stored data?
Yes - the OE input operates independently of the flip-flop registers. Asserting or deasserting OE has no effect on the internal state of D0–D7 storage elements; only the output drivers enter or exit high-impedance mode. This allows safe bus arbitration and dynamic output control without risk of data loss or metastability.
Is the 74HCT374PW,118 suitable for automotive applications?
No - the 74HCT374PW,118 is not AEC-Q100 qualified and is explicitly designated for industrial use (−40 °C to +125 °C). While it meets the temperature range required for some under-hood locations, Nexperia does not warrant or test this variant for automotive safety-critical functions, EMI resilience, or lifetime reliability per automotive standards.
How does the input clamping diode functionality impact interface design?
The integrated input clamp diodes allow safe connection of Dn or CP inputs to voltages up to VCC + 0.5 V (or down to −0.5 V) when used with external current-limiting resistors. This enables direct interfacing with higher-voltage logic families or analog signal sources without external protection diodes - resistor value must limit peak current to ≤20 mA per diode per Absolute Maximum Ratings (Table 4).
