Product details
Overview
CD54HC374F3A from Texas Instruments is a high-speed CMOS octal D-type flip-flop with 3-state outputs, positive-edge clock triggering, and bus-driving capability (15 LSTTL loads). It operates from 2 V to 6 V, supports –55 °C to +125 °C, and delivers 15 ns typical propagation delay (VCC = 5 V, CL = 15 pF) in military-grade CDIP packaging. It is used in radiation-tolerant data latching and bus isolation in avionics timing control systems.
For engineers reviewing the CD54HC374F3A datasheet, CD54HC374F3A pinout, CD54HC374F3A application, or CD54HC374F3A equivalent, key selection criteria include its 20-pin CDIP package, –55 °C to +125 °C extended temperature range, 3-state output enable independence from register operation, and HC-series CMOS logic compatibility with 2–6 V supply.
Technical Context
The CD54HC374F3A implements eight edge-triggered D flip-flops synchronized on the LOW-to-HIGH clock transition, with separate 3-state output enable (OE) that places all Q outputs in high-impedance when asserted HIGH. Its buffered inputs and balanced propagation/transition times ensure clean signal integrity in synchronous bus architectures.
It belongs to the CD54HC family of military-grade CMOS logic, featuring high noise immunity (NIL/NIL = 30% of VCC), low quiescent current (≤160 μA over full temperature range), and compatibility with both CMOS and LSTTL load conditions - enabling direct replacement of legacy TTL latches without redesign.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Family | HC-series CMOS: 2–6 V operation, high noise immunity, low power vs. LSTTL |
| Function | Octal D-type flip-flop with independent 3-state output enable (OE) |
| Propagation Delay | 15 ns typical (VCC = 5 V, CL = 15 pF): enables ≤60 MHz clock operation in buffered bus systems |
| Operating Temperature | –55 °C to +125 °C: qualified for military/aerospace applications per MIL-PRF-38535 |
| Output Drive | 15 LSTTL loads: sufficient for driving long PCB traces or multiple downstream inputs without buffers |

| Package | CDIP (J), 20-pin, 26.92 mm × 6.92 mm: hermetically sealed ceramic dual in-line for high-reliability environments |
Pinout & Package
CD54HC374F3A uses a 20-pin Ceramic Dual In-Line Package (CDIP, J package) with 0.3-inch body width and through-hole mounting. Pin spacing is 0.1 inch (2.54 mm), with standard DIP pin numbering (pin 1 at top-left corner, notch orientation confirmed).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (CP) | Clock input | Positive-edge triggered; data latched on LOW-to-HIGH transition; requires clean, monotonic edge |
| 2–9 (D0–D7) | Data inputs | Asynchronous parallel data inputs; buffered for noise rejection and fanout drive |
| 10 (GND) | Ground reference | Primary return path for logic and output currents; must be low-inductance connection |
| 11–18 (Q0–Q7) | 3-state outputs | Register outputs enabled only when OE = LOW; high-Z state when OE = HIGH |
| 19 (OE) | Output enable | Active-LOW control; independent of clock/register state; enables bus sharing |
| 20 (VCC) | Power supply | 2–6 V DC; bypass capacitor (0.1 μF) required adjacent to pin for stable switching |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 3-State Output Enable (OE) | Independent active-LOW control allows dynamic bus contention avoidance without affecting internal register state |
| Bus Driving Capability | 15 LSTTL loads per output: eliminates need for external bus transceivers in medium-complexity backplanes |
| Extended Temperature Range | –55 °C to +125 °C operation: meets MIL-PRF-38535 Class B requirements for space and defense platforms |
| Low Power Consumption | Quiescent current ≤160 μA over full temperature range: critical for battery-backed or thermally constrained avionics modules |

Applications
| Avionics Data Acquisition | Military Radar Timing Control |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Capturing analog-to-digital converter (ADC) sample outputs in airborne sensor suites under extreme thermal cycling. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Synchronizes and holds 8-bit parallel ADC results on each radar pulse trigger edge before transfer to FPGA processing.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal D-type latch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CD54HCT374F3A | TTL-compatible inputs (VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VIH ≥ 2.0 V); identical 3-state outputs and timing | Required when interfacing directly with legacy 5 V TTL logic families without level shifters | Select CD54HCT374F3A only if upstream drivers are standard TTL; otherwise CD54HC374F3A offers lower power and wider VCC range |
| CD54HC574F3A | Identical function and specs but different pinout (Q/D ordering swapped); not pin-compatible | Used where board layout accommodates alternate pin mapping; same military qualification and performance | Choose CD54HC574F3A only if redesigning PCB footprint; CD54HC374F3A maintains legacy pinout compatibility with existing CDIP layouts |
Compared with CD54HCT374F3A, CD54HC374F3A provides broader supply range (2–6 V vs. 4.5–5.5 V) and lower static power, while CD54HC574F3A offers functional equivalence with non-interchangeable pin assignment - requiring layout revision for substitution.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by CD54HC374F3A?
The CD54HC374F3A supports up to 60 MHz maximum clock frequency under recommended conditions (VCC = 5 V, CL = 15 pF, TA = 25 °C), with derated performance down to 23 MHz at –55 °C to +125 °C extremes. This is specified in Section 5.5 of the TI SCHS183E datasheet and validated across the full military temperature range.
Is CD54HC374F3A pin-compatible with CD54HC574F3A?
No, CD54HC374F3A is not pin-compatible with CD54HC574F3A. Although functionally identical as octal D-type 3-state flip-flops, their pinouts differ - specifically, the arrangement of D and Q terminals is reversed. The CD54HC374F3A places D0–D7 on pins 2–9 and Q0–Q7 on pins 11–18, whereas CD54HC574F3A swaps this mapping.
Does CD54HC374F3A require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on unused inputs?
Yes, CD54HC374F3A requires all unused inputs (including CP, D0–D7, and OE) to be tied to a defined logic level - either VCC or GND - per TI layout guidelines. Floating inputs can cause undefined output states, increased power consumption, or oscillation due to CMOS input sensitivity.
What is the thermal resistance (RθJA) of the CD54HC374F3A CDIP package?
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) for the CD54HC374F3A in its 20-pin CDIP (J) package is not explicitly published in the SCHS183E datasheet. TI lists RθJA values only for SOIC (DW), PDIP (N), and TSSOP (PW) packages. For CDIP, thermal design must rely on board-level convection modeling and derating per MIL-STD-883 test methods.
Can CD54HC374F3A operate reliably at 2.0 V supply voltage?
Yes, CD54HC374F3A is fully specified to operate at 2.0 V supply voltage per its Recommended Operating Conditions (Section 5.2). At VCC = 2 V, it guarantees VIL ≤ 0.5 V, VIH ≥ 1.5 V, and fMAX ≥ 4 MHz across –55 °C to +125 °C, making it suitable for low-voltage battery-powered military subsystems.
