Product details
Overview
74LVX374MTR from STMicroelectronics is a low-voltage CMOS octal D-type flip-flop with 3-state non-inverting outputs, 5V-tolerant inputs, 2V–3.6V operating range, 160MHz max clock frequency (typ. at VCC = 3.3V), and symmetrical 4mA output drive. It serves as a data latch and bus interface in 3.3V digital systems requiring level translation between 5V peripherals and 3.3V logic.
For engineers reviewing the 74LVX374MTR datasheet, 74LVX374MTR pinout, 74LVX374MTR application, or 74LVX374MTR equivalent, key selection criteria include 5V input tolerance, 3-state output control timing (tPZL/tPHZ ≤ 15.5ns), low ICC (4µA max), high noise immunity (VOLP = 0.3V typ.), and SO-20 package compatibility with legacy 74-series layouts.
Technical Context
This device implements eight edge-triggered D-type latches synchronized to the rising edge of CK, with independent 3-state control via active-low OE. Internal operation continues regardless of OE state-data can be latched or retained while outputs are high-impedance.
Input protection enables safe 0–7V signal acceptance independent of VCC, supporting robust 5V-to-3.3V interfacing. Sub-micron C2MOS fabrication ensures balanced tPLH ≅ tPHL propagation delays and 2kV ESD immunity on all pins.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.0V to 3.6V - Enables direct use in 3.3V systems with 10% supply margin; retains data down to 1.2V. |
| fMAX | 160MHz (typ. at VCC = 3.3V) - Supports high-speed data capture in burst-mode interfaces and synchronous FIFOs. |
| 5V Tolerance | Inputs accept 0–5.5V regardless of VCC - Eliminates external level shifters when connecting to 5V microcontrollers or legacy peripherals. |
| Output Drive | |IOH| = IOL = 4mA (min. at VCC = 3V) - Drives standard CMOS loads across full temperature range without external buffers. |
| ICC Quiescent | 4µA (max. at TA = 25°C) - Enables battery-powered operation with negligible standby current draw. |
| VOLP | 0.3V (typ. at VCC = 3.3V, CL = 50pF) - Reduces ground bounce and crosstalk in dense PCB layouts with multiple switching outputs. |
Pinout & Package
74LVX374MTR is housed in a 20-pin SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) package per mechanical drawing PO13L, with 1.27mm pitch, 12.6–13.0mm body length, and 10.0–10.65mm body width.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OE | Active-low 3-state output enable - Controls all eight Q outputs simultaneously; high = high-Z, low = functional. |
| 2,5,6,9,12,15,16,19 | Q0–Q7 | Non-inverting 3-state outputs - Reflect latched D-input states when OE is low; tri-stated when OE is high. |
| 3,4,7,8,13,14,17,18 | D0–D7 | Data inputs - Sampled on rising edge of CK; tolerate 0–5.5V regardless of VCC. |
| 11 | CK | Positive-edge clock - Synchronizes latching of all eight D inputs to Q outputs; minimum pulse width 5.5ns at 3.3V. |
| 10 | GND | Ground reference - Shared return path for all signals and power; requires low-inductance connection to minimize noise. |
| 20 | VCC | Positive supply - Powers internal logic and output drivers; decoupling capacitor (100nF) required near pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 5V-tolerant inputs | Accepts 0–5.5V input signals with no external components, enabling direct interfacing to 5V controllers and sensors. |
| Power-down input protection | Withstands 0–7V on any input pin regardless of VCC state - prevents damage during hot insertion or supply sequencing. |
| Symmetrical output impedance | Matched |IOH| and IOL (≥4mA) ensures consistent rise/fall times and reduces signal distortion on shared buses. |
| Low dynamic noise | VOLP = 0.3V (typ.) minimizes simultaneous switching output (SSO) noise in multi-bit parallel interfaces. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Expansion | 3.3V Microcontroller Bus Interface |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Expanding GPIO count of a 3.3V ARM Cortex-M controller to drive 8-channel relay modules and status LEDs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Octal latch buffering MCU parallel port outputs; OE tied low for continuous drive, CK synchronized to software write strobe. Use Value: Eliminates need for discrete level shifters due to 5V-tolerant inputs, while 4mA drive directly sinks LED currents without external transistors. | Use Scenario: Interfacing a 5V legacy UART peripheral to a 3.3V FPGA-based communication module. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional data latch isolating voltage domains; OE controlled by FPGA to gate data flow direction on shared bus lines. Use Value: 5V-tolerant D and Q pins allow safe connection to 5V UART TX/RX, while 3.3V-compatible CK and OE simplify FPGA pin assignment. |
| Memory Address Latching | Test Equipment Digital Pattern Generator |
Use Scenario: Capturing and holding 8-bit address bits from a microprocessor during memory read/write cycles. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Edge-triggered address register; CK driven by processor ALE signal, OE held low for stable bus drive during access window. Use Value: Balanced tPLH/tPHL (≤13.5ns at 3.3V) ensures minimal address skew across all 8 bits, preserving setup/hold timing margins. | Use Scenario: Generating precise 8-bit stimulus patterns for IC functional testing at up to 100MHz. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-speed pattern register; CK driven by programmable clock source, OE toggled to insert known-Z states for bus contention tests. Use Value: 160MHz fMAX and 5.5ns min. CK pulse width support pattern rates exceeding 80MHz, while VOLP ≤ 0.3V maintains signal integrity under heavy capacitive 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC374APWR | Same 3.3V VCC range and 3-state outputs, but only 5V-tolerant on inputs (not 0–7V), and lower ESD rating (1.5kV vs. 2kV). | Lacks full power-down input protection; unsuitable for hot-swap or uncontrolled supply sequencing environments. | Prefer when cost sensitivity outweighs robustness requirements and 5V tolerance suffices. |
| 74ALVC374MTCX | Higher speed (fMAX = 175MHz), but narrower VCC range (2.3–3.6V) and no 1.2V data retention capability. | Cannot retain state during brown-out conditions below 2.3V; less suitable for battery-backed systems with wide supply variation. | Choose for maximum throughput in stable 3.3V rails where extended low-VCC operation is unnecessary. |
Compared with SN74LVC374APWR and 74ALVC374MTCX, the 74LVX374MTR offers superior input ruggedness (0–7V tolerance), broader supply retention (down to 1.2V), and higher ESD immunity-making it optimal for industrial field equipment and mixed-voltage embedded systems demanding long-term reliability.

FAQ
Can 74LVX374MTR operate with VCC = 2.5V?
Yes. The device is fully specified from 2.0V to 3.6V, including guaranteed VIH/VIL thresholds, output drive, and propagation delays at 2.5V. At this voltage, fMAX drops to ~95MHz (typ.), and VOL rises to ≤0.44V at 4mA load-still sufficient for most 2.5V logic families.
What happens to internal flip-flop state when OE is high?
The internal latches retain their last stored values regardless of OE state. New data can still be clocked in via CK while outputs are high-impedance, allowing seamless handover between bus arbitration phases without data loss or reinitialization.
Is decoupling required on VCC and GND pins?
Yes. A 100nF ceramic capacitor must be placed as close as possible to pins 20 (VCC) and 10 (GND) to suppress high-frequency supply noise generated during output switching. Failure to do so increases VOLP and may cause timing violations in adjacent channels.
Does 74LVX374MTR support hot-plug operation?
Yes. Its 0–7V input tolerance and power-down protection allow safe connection/disconnection while VCC is powered or unpowered. Inputs remain undamaged even if driven before VCC stabilizes, making it suitable for modular backplane and field-replaceable unit designs.
