Product details
Overview
74LCX374FT(AE) from Toshiba is a low-voltage octal D-type flip-flop with 5-V tolerant inputs and outputs, designed for 3.3-V system-level data latching in mixed-voltage digital interfaces. It features 8-bit edge-triggered storage, output enable control (OE), high-speed propagation delay of 8.5 ns (max at VCC = 3.3 V), and ±24 mA output drive capability - enabling reliable signal buffering in FPGA-to-ASIC interconnects and industrial I/O expansion modules.
For engineers reviewing the 74LCX374FT(AE) datasheet, 74LCX374FT(AE) pinout, 74LCX374FT(AE) application, or 74LCX374FT(AE) equivalent, key selection criteria include 1.65–3.6 V supply compatibility, 5-V tolerant I/O for legacy interface bridging, TSSOP20B package footprint constraints, and OE-controlled 3-state output behavior for bus sharing.
Technical Context
The 74LCX374FT(AE) implements eight independent D-type latches synchronized to the rising edge of the clock (CK), with all outputs placed in high-impedance state when OE is asserted high. Its input protection circuitry enables safe operation across 3.3-V logic domains interfacing to 5-V peripherals without external level shifters.
It operates within -40°C to +85°C ambient temperature, supports dynamic switching up to 150 MHz (VCC = 3.3 V), and maintains low quiescent current (ICC ≤ 500 µA) while delivering rail-to-rail output swing under load - making it suitable for power-sensitive embedded control backplanes requiring deterministic timing and voltage translation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 1.65 V to 3.6 V - enables direct integration into 3.3-V core logic systems without regulator overhead. |
| Propagation Delay (tPD) | 8.5 ns max (VCC = 3.0–3.6 V) - ensures sub-10 ns setup/hold timing margins for 100+ MHz synchronous buses. |
| Output Drive | ±24 mA (IOL/IOH min at VCC = 3.0 V) - drives standard TTL loads and multiple CMOS inputs without fanout limitation. |
| I/O Voltage Tolerance | 0 V to 5.5 V input/output range - allows safe connection to 5-V microcontrollers, sensors, or legacy peripherals without clamping diodes. |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade operation in factory automation and outdoor communications equipment. |
| Package | TSSOP20B (4.4 mm × 6.5 mm, 0.65 mm pitch) - surface-mount compatible with automated PCB assembly and space-constrained designs. |
| Input Leakage | ±5.0 µA max (VIH/VIL) - minimizes static current draw in battery-backed or always-on monitoring circuits. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP20B 20-pin thin shrink small-outline package with 0.65 mm lead pitch, 4.4 mm body width, and 6.5 mm length; RoHS-compliant matte tin lead finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OE) | Output Enable | Active-high control: pulls all Q outputs to high-impedance when logic HIGH - essential for shared data bus arbitration. |
| 2–9 (D1–D8) | Data Inputs | Asynchronous D inputs accepting 0–5.5 V signals; internally clamped to VCC/GND for 5-V tolerance. |
| 10 (GND) | Ground Reference | Primary return path for all internal logic and output drivers; must be low-inductance connection for noise immunity. |
| 11–18 (Q1–Q8) | Registered Outputs | Edge-triggered latched outputs; driven only when OE = LOW and CK rising edge occurs - no transparent mode. |
| 19 (CK) | Clock Input | Rising-edge sensitive; VIH ≥ 2.0 V (VCC = 2.7–3.6 V), with 1.5 ns minimum pulse width requirement. |
| 20 (VCC) | Supply Voltage | Core logic and I/O supply; decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF ceramic) required within 5 mm of this pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 5-V tolerant I/O | Enables direct interfacing between 3.3-V FPGAs and 5-V microcontrollers or sensors without external level translators. |
| Power-down protection | Prevents back-driving damage during power sequencing mismatches - critical in hot-swap or multi-rail systems. |
| Pin-compatible with 74LVC374 | Allows drop-in replacement in existing LVC-based designs while improving noise margin and drive strength. |
| Low dynamic power consumption | CPD = 25 pF (typ.) at 3.3 V enables <1 mW typical active power at 10 MHz - suitable for thermally constrained enclosures. |
| High ESD immunity | Human Body Model (HBM) ≥ 2 kV on all pins - reduces field failure risk in manual handling or unshielded environments. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74LVC374PW,118 (Nexperia) | Same TSSOP20 package, but rated only for 1.65–3.6 V I/O (not 5-V tolerant); tPD = 7.5 ns (VCC = 3.3 V). | Lacks 5-V input tolerance - requires external clamping or level shifters when interfacing to 5-V sources. | Select when operating exclusively in 3.3-V-only systems and maximum speed is prioritized over interface flexibility. |
| SN74LVCH16374ADGGR (TI) | 16-bit version in 48-pin TSSOP; 3.3-V only I/O (no 5-V tolerance); higher drive (±24 mA), same VCC range. | Double data width and larger footprint - suited for wide-bus applications but incompatible pinout and layout. | Choose for high-channel-count applications where board space permits and 5-V interface is unnecessary. |
Compared with 74LCX374FT(AE), the 74LVC374PW offers faster propagation but sacrifices 5-V tolerance, while SN74LVCH16374ADGGR provides double bit width at the cost of pin compatibility and added complexity - making 74LCX374FT(AE) optimal for compact, mixed-voltage 8-bit latching where interface robustness is critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the 74LCX374FT(AE)?
The 74LCX374FT(AE) supports a maximum clock frequency of 150 MHz when operated at VCC = 3.3 V, as specified in its AC characteristics table. This value is derived from the 8.5 ns maximum propagation delay (tPD) and accounts for setup/hold timing margins under standard load conditions (CL = 50 pF). Frequency derating applies below VCC = 3.0 V - e.g., 100 MHz at VCC = 2.5 V.
Does the 74LCX374FT(AE) require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on unused inputs?
Yes, the 74LCX374FT(AE) requires all unused inputs (including OE and CK) to be tied to either VCC or GND to prevent floating states that may cause excessive current draw or metastability. This is explicitly stated in the Operating Ranges section of the datasheet (Note: "Unused inputs must be tied to either VCC or GND"). Leaving inputs unconnected violates recommended operating conditions and risks erratic behavior.
Is the 74LCX374FT(AE) pin-compatible with standard 74HC374 devices?
No, the 74LCX374FT(AE) is not pin-compatible with 74HC374 due to differing supply voltage requirements and I/O architecture. While both share identical pin numbering and functional assignment (e.g., D1–D8, Q1–Q8, CK, OE, VCC, GND), the 74HC374 operates at 2–6 V and lacks 5-V tolerant inputs. Direct substitution may cause overvoltage damage if 5-V signals are applied to HC-series inputs.
What is the meaning of "Power-down protection" in the 74LCX374FT(AE) datasheet?
"Power-down protection" in the 74LCX374FT(AE) refers to built-in circuitry that prevents current backflow through inputs or outputs when VCC is at 0 V or significantly lower than applied signal voltages. This allows safe operation during partial power sequencing - for example, when 5-V signals remain active while the 3.3-V supply is off - avoiding latch-up or permanent damage to the device or connected circuitry.
Can the 74LCX374FT(AE) be used in automotive applications?
The 74LCX374FT(AE) is not qualified for automotive applications per AEC-Q100 standards. Its specified operating temperature range is -40°C to +85°C, which meets industrial grade requirements but falls short of the -40°C to +125°C extended range and qualification testing mandated for automotive use. Toshiba explicitly restricts its use in automotive systems unless expressly approved in writing for specific applications.
