Product details
Overview
CD74HCT670M from Texas Instruments is a 4-word × 4-bit high-speed CMOS register file enabling simultaneous independent read and write operations. It features three-state outputs, buffered inputs, 16ns typical read time at 5V/15pF, and operates across -55°C to +125°C for industrial control and data acquisition systems requiring deterministic memory access.
For engineers reviewing the CD74HCT670M datasheet, CD74HCT670M pinout, CD74HCT670M application, or CD74HCT670M equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, thermal behavior, timing constraints, and real-world use cases - all confirmed against TI's official SCHS195C datasheet and packaging documentation.
Technical Context
The CD74HCT670M implements a synchronous dual-port register file architecture with separate read (RA0/RA1, RE) and write (WA0/WA1, WE) address paths, allowing concurrent access to different 4-bit words without bus contention. Its HCT logic family ensures LSTTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.0 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V) and CMOS-level output drive under 4.5–5.5 V supply.
Timing is governed by latch-based control: write data is captured on WE low with stable WA0/WA1, while read outputs respond to RA0/RA1 regardless of WE state. Output enable/disable transitions are specified at 12–16 ns (tPZL/tPLZ, CL = 15 pF), supporting fast bus arbitration in multi-master embedded systems.
Key Specifications

| Propagation Delay (Read) | 17 ns (typ.) at VCC = 5 V, CL = 15 pF; ensures predictable timing margins in synchronous state machines |
Pinout & Package
CD74HCT670M is housed in a 16-lead SOIC (D) package with 1.27 mm pitch, 10.3 mm body width, and JEDEC MS-012AC compliance. Thermal resistance θJA = 73°C/W supports operation up to 125°C ambient with minimal heatsinking.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| D0–D3 | Data Inputs | Parallel 4-bit word input during write cycle; latched when WE = LOW and WA0/WA1 stable |
| Q0–Q3 | Three-State Outputs | Driven low/high or high-impedance based on RE; enables bus sharing without contention |
| WA0, WA1 | Write Address Inputs | Select one of four 4-bit registers for write operation; must be stable during WE assertion |
| RA0, RA1 | Read Address Inputs | Select one of four 4-bit registers for read operation; independent of WE state |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low control; initiates write when LOW; inhibits writes when HIGH |
| RE | Read Enable | Active-low control; enables Q0–Q3 outputs when LOW; places outputs in high-Z when HIGH |
| VCC | Power Supply | 4.5–5.5 V CMOS supply; decoupling required within 10 mm of pin per TI layout guidelines |
| GND | Ground Reference | Signal and power return; must be connected to low-impedance ground plane |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar register file applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CD74HC670M | HC variant: 2–6 V supply, VIH/VIL referenced to VCC (not fixed TTL thresholds); higher propagation delay (39 ns vs. 40 ns @ 5 V) | Suitable for mixed-voltage systems but lacks guaranteed LSTTL compatibility; requires careful input threshold validation | Select only if operating outside 4.5–5.5 V or needing wider supply flexibility; not drop-in for TTL-driven designs |
| SN74ALS670N | Bipolar ALS technology: 4.5–5.5 V, faster tPLH (12 ns typ.), but higher ICC (40 mA vs. 160 µA), no three-state outputs, limited temp range (-40°C to +85°C) | Used in legacy high-speed TTL systems; incompatible with CMOS bus sharing due to passive pull-down outputs | Choose only for retrofitting vintage 74ALS designs; unsuitable for low-power or high-temp applications |
Compared with CD74HC670M and SN74ALS670N, CD74HCT670M uniquely balances LSTTL input compatibility, three-state bus drive, ultra-low static current (<160 µA), and extended temperature operation - making it the sole option for new industrial or automotive designs requiring both interoperability and reliability.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by CD74HCT670M?
The CD74HCT670M does not operate on a clock signal - it is an asynchronous register file controlled by enable and address signals. Its maximum effective throughput is determined by propagation delays: read access time is 17 ns (typ.) at 5 V/15 pF, enabling reliable operation in systems with >30 MHz address strobe rates. Timing margins must account for setup/hold requirements on WA0/WA1 and RA0/RA1 relative to WE and RE edges.
Can CD74HCT670M be used with a 3.3 V microcontroller interface?
No - CD74HCT670M requires a 4.5–5.5 V supply and has LSTTL-compatible inputs (VIH ≥ 2.0 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V), but its outputs swing rail-to-rail at 5 V. Direct connection to 3.3 V logic risks overvoltage damage. A level-shifting buffer or voltage translator is mandatory for safe interfacing with 3.3 V microcontrollers.
Does CD74HCT670M support true dual-port operation with independent clocks?
No - CD74HCT670M supports simultaneous read and write *within the same clock domain*, but it has no internal clock. All operations are asynchronous and edge-triggered by enable signals (WE, RE). True dual-clock dual-port RAM requires dedicated synchronous SRAM ICs; this device provides deterministic timing without clock management overhead.
What is the purpose of the "expandable to 512 words" feature in CD74HCT670M?
The expandability refers to cascading multiple CD74HCT670M units using shared RA0/RA1 and WA0/WA1 lines while decoding higher-order address bits externally. For example, eight devices yield 32 words × 4 bits; 128 devices yield 512 words × 4 bits. This avoids complex address decoding logic and maintains uniform 16 ns access time across the entire array.
Is CD74HCT670M pin-compatible with CD74HC670M?
Yes - CD74HCT670M and CD74HC670M share identical 16-pin SOIC (D) package dimensions, pinout, and footprint. However, they differ electrically: HCT guarantees LSTTL input compatibility, while HC uses VCC-referenced thresholds. Swapping requires verification of input drive strength and voltage levels in the host system.
