Product details
Overview
CD74AC374M from Texas Instruments is an octal D-type positive-edge-triggered flip-flop with 3-state outputs, designed for bus-oriented data latching in industrial and embedded systems. It operates from 1.5 V to 5.5 V, delivers ±24 mA output drive per pin, supports up to 143 MHz clock frequency at 5 V, and features SCR-latch-up-resistant CMOS process technology.
For engineers reviewing the CD74AC374M datasheet, CD74AC374M pinout, CD74AC374M application, or CD74AC374M equivalent, key selection criteria include its 20-pin SOIC (DW) package, 3-state output enable control, balanced propagation delays, and compatibility with 50-Ω transmission line driving requirements.
Technical Context
The CD74AC374M implements eight independent D-type flip-flops synchronized on the rising edge of CLK, with a buffered OE input enabling high-impedance output states without affecting internal register operation. Its AC-series logic family ensures 1.5–5.5 V supply flexibility and 30% supply-level noise immunity.
Propagation delays are tightly balanced across all eight channels (e.g., 2.8 ns min / 10.8 ns max at 5 V), and switching characteristics are specified under controlled 50 pF load conditions with 3 ns rise/fall times. The device maintains full functionality over –55°C to +125°C ambient temperature.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal D-type 3-state flip-flop applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CD74ACT374M96.A | TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V min), higher drive (±24 mA), but narrower 4.5–5.5 V supply range | Preferred where strict 5 V-only systems require guaranteed TTL-level interoperability and faster 125 MHz max clock | Select when interfacing exclusively with legacy 5 V TTL logic and maximum speed at 5 V is prioritized over voltage flexibility |

FAQ
What is the operating voltage range for the CD74AC374M?
The CD74AC374M operates from 1.5 V to 5.5 V across its full temperature range of –55°C to +125°C. This wide supply range allows direct integration with 1.8 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V logic domains without level-shifting circuitry, and is explicitly validated in Section 4.3 of the TI SCHS290A datasheet.
Does the CD74AC374M support 3-state output control, and how is it implemented?
Yes, the CD74AC374M provides 3-state output control via the active-low OE (Output Enable) pin (Pin 1). When OE is high, all eight Q outputs enter high-impedance state regardless of clock or data activity - preserving internal register values while isolating the device from the bus. This function is detailed in Section 6.1 and Table 6-1 of the datasheet.
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the CD74AC374M at 3.3 V and 5 V?
At 5 V supply, the CD74AC374M supports up to 143 MHz maximum clock frequency (min value at 4.5 V); at 3.3 V, it supports up to 101 MHz (min value at 3.6 V). These values are specified in Table 4-7 (Prerequisite for Switching: AC Series) of the TI SCHS290A datasheet under recommended operating conditions.
Is the CD74AC374M pin-compatible with other members of the CDx4AC/ACT374 family?
Yes, the CD74AC374M shares identical pin configuration and function mapping with CD74ACT374M96.A, CD74AC534M96.A, and SN74AC374N, as confirmed in Figure 3-1 and Table 3-1 of the TI SCHS290A datasheet. However, note that CD74AC534 has inverted outputs, while CD74AC374M provides non-inverted Q outputs.
What package type and thermal characteristics does the CD74AC374M use?
The CD74AC374M uses a 20-pin SOIC (DW) package with junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 101.2°C/W, as specified in Section 4.4 of the TI SCHS290A datasheet. It is RoHS-compliant, moisture sensitivity level 1, and rated for peak reflow at 260°C - suitable for standard surface-mount assembly processes.
