Product details
Overview
CD74HC374M96E4 from Texas Instruments is an octal D-type flip-flop with 3-state outputs, positive-edge clock triggering, and bus-driving capability. It operates from 2 V to 6 V, delivers 15 ns typical propagation delay at 5 V/15 pF, supports –55°C to +125°C temperature range, and drives up to 15 LSTTL loads - used in digital bus interface and data latching circuits in industrial control systems.
For engineers reviewing the CD74HC374M96E4 datasheet, CD74HC374M96E4 pinout, CD74HC374M96E4 application, or CD74HC374M96E4 equivalent, key selection considerations include its 3-state output enable control, HC logic family voltage flexibility, edge-triggered register behavior, thermal performance in SOIC-20 packaging, and compatibility with legacy TTL bus loads.
Technical Context
The CD74HC374M96E4 implements eight independent D-type flip-flops, each capturing input data on the LOW-to-HIGH clock transition. Its output enable (OE) pin operates independently of clocking, placing all eight outputs in high-impedance state when asserted HIGH.
This device belongs to the HC CMOS logic family and features buffered inputs, balanced propagation delay/transition times, and fanout of 15 LSTTL loads. It exhibits high noise immunity (NIL/NIL = 30% of VCC at 5 V) and consumes significantly less power than equivalent LSTTL ICs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Family | High-speed CMOS (HC), compatible with 2–6 V supply |
| Function | Octal D-type flip-flop with 3-state outputs and common OE control |
| Propagation Delay | 15 ns typical (VCC = 5 V, CL = 15 pF, TA = 25°C) - enables reliable timing in 60 MHz bus systems |
| Operating Temperature | –55°C to +125°C - qualified for extended industrial and aerospace environments |
| Output Drive | 15 LSTTL loads - sufficient for direct interfacing with legacy TTL buses without buffers |

| Quiescent Current | ≤160 μA max (VCC = 6 V, –55°C to +125°C) - supports low-power standby modes |
Pinout & Package
CD74HC374M96E4 is housed in a 20-pin SOIC (DW) package with nominal dimensions 12.80 mm × 7.50 mm and standard JEDEC MO-002AC outline.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (CP) | Clock input | Positive-edge triggered; controls synchronous data capture into all eight registers |
| 2–9 (D0–D7) | Data inputs | Asynchronous parallel inputs feeding respective D-type flip-flop stages |
| 10 (GND) | Ground reference | Primary return path for logic and output current; must be low-impedance |
| 11–18 (Q0–Q7) | 3-state outputs | Register outputs enabled only when OE = LOW; high-impedance when OE = HIGH |
| 19 (OE) | Output enable | Active-LOW control; independent of clock, enabling shared bus arbitration |
| 20 (VCC) | Supply voltage | Supports 2–6 V operation; requires local 0.1-μF bypass capacitor per TI layout guidelines |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Common 3-state output enable | Single OE pin controls all eight outputs simultaneously - simplifies bus arbitration logic |
| Bus line driving capability | Rated for 15 LSTTL loads - eliminates need for external bus transceivers in mixed-logic systems |
| Wide supply voltage range | 2 V to 6 V operation - supports interoperability across 3.3 V and 5 V domains without level shifters |
| High noise immunity | 30% VCC noise margin at 5 V - ensures stable operation in electrically noisy industrial enclosures |

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by CD74HC374M96E4?
The CD74HC374M96E4 supports a maximum clock frequency of 60 MHz under recommended conditions (VCC = 5 V, CL = 15 pF). At 2 V supply, fMAX drops to 4 MHz; at 6 V, it reaches 23 MHz over the full –55°C to +125°C range. These values are specified in the Switching Characteristics table of the official TI datasheet SCHS183E.
Does CD74HC374M96E4 support 3.3 V operation?
Yes, CD74HC374M96E4 fully supports 3.3 V operation as part of its 2 V to 6 V HC logic family specification. At 3.3 V, VIH = 2.31 V (min), VIL = 1.09 V (max), and propagation delay increases to ~25 ns (typical, CL = 15 pF), maintaining full functionality and noise margin compliance.
How does the output enable (OE) pin behave on CD74HC374M96E4?
The OE pin on CD74HC374M96E4 is active-LOW: when OE = LOW, Q0–Q7 reflect registered data; when OE = HIGH, all outputs enter high-impedance state regardless of clock or input activity. This behavior is independent of register operation and enables safe multi-drop bus sharing without contention.
What is the thermal resistance (RθJA) of CD74HC374M96E4 in its SOIC-20 package?
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of CD74HC374M96E4 in the SOIC-20 (DW) package is 109.1°C/W, as specified in Section 5.3 of the TI datasheet SCHS183E. This value assumes standard JEDEC 2-layer board conditions and informs thermal design for continuous operation at maximum ambient temperatures.
Is CD74HC374M96E4 pin-compatible with CD74HC574M96?
No, CD74HC374M96E4 is not pin-compatible with CD74HC574M96. Although functionally identical, their pinouts differ: the 374 places D0–D7 on pins 2–9 and Q0–Q7 on pins 11–18, whereas the 574 swaps this arrangement. PCB layout changes are required for substitution - refer to TI's Pin Configuration diagrams in SCHS183E.
