Product details
Overview
CY74FCT374CTQC from Cypress Semiconductor is an 8-bit edge-triggered D-type flip-flop register with three-state outputs, buffered clock (CP), and active-low output enable (OE). It operates at 5 V ±5%, delivers 5.2 ns max propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL), supports 250 MHz typical toggle rate, and features power-off disable for live insertion in bus-oriented systems.
For engineers reviewing the CY74FCT374CTQC datasheet, CY74FCT374CTQC pinout, CY74FCT374CTQC application, or CY74FCT374CTQC equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 5.2 ns commercial-speed timing, 32 mA output drive capability, −40°C to +85°C extended temperature range, and QSOP-20 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The CY74FCT374CTQC implements eight independent D-type flip-flops sharing a common clock and output enable control. Its edge-rate controlled outputs reduce switching noise, while matched rise/fall times ensure clean signal integrity in synchronous bus interfaces.
It is fully TTL-compatible on both inputs and outputs, supports live insertion via power-off disable (IOFF ≤ ±1 µA at VCC = 0 V), and maintains high-impedance outputs when OE is HIGH-enabling bidirectional data bus management without external logic.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Propagation Delay (tPLH/tPHL) | Max 5.2 ns at VCC = 5 V, TA = −40°C to +85°C - enables reliable 192 MHz system clock operation with setup/hold margin. |
| Output Drive (IOH/IOL) | −32 mA / +64 mA - drives standard TTL loads directly without buffers in backplane or memory interface designs. |
| Operating Voltage | 5 V ±5% - compatible with legacy 5 V logic rails and mixed-voltage board architectures. |
| Temperature Range | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded control and communications equipment. |
| Input Hysteresis (VH) | 0.2 V - improves noise immunity on noisy control lines such as reset or enable signals. |
| Power-Off Disable (IOFF) | ±1 µA at VCC = 0 V - prevents back-driving of powered buses during hot-swap or module replacement. |
| Toggle Rate | 250 MHz typical - supports high-throughput data latching in test equipment and digital instrumentation. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 20-Lead (150-mil) QSOP (Q5), body size 7.5 mm × 4.4 mm, 0.65 mm lead pitch, gull-wing leads.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 | D0–D7 Data Inputs | Asynchronous D-type inputs sampled on rising CP edge; TTL-compatible voltage thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V, VIL = 0.8 V). |
| 9 | GND | Ground reference for all I/O and internal logic; must be low-impedance connection to minimize ground bounce. |
| 10 | CP | Buffered clock input; edge-triggered on LOW-to-HIGH transition; 5.0 ns min pulse width required. |
| 11 | OE | Active-low output enable; controls all eight outputs simultaneously; high-impedance state when HIGH. |
| 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 | O0–O7 Three-State Outputs | Registered outputs reflecting Dn state after CP edge; driven to high-Z when OE = HIGH; sink/source capable. |
| 20 | VCC | Positive supply; decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF ceramic) required within 10 mm of pin for stable operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Edge-rate controlled outputs | Reduces simultaneous switching noise (SSN) by limiting dV/dt, critical for EMI-sensitive instrumentation and telecom line cards. |
| FCT-C speed grade (5.2 ns) | Meets timing closure for 192 MHz synchronous bus clocks with 2 ns setup/hold margin under worst-case conditions. |
| Power-off disable (IOFF ≤ ±1 µA) | Enables safe hot-plug operation in modular backplanes without risk of bus contention or latch-up. |
| TTL-compatible I/O levels | Eliminates level-shifting components when interfacing with legacy 74LS/74ALS peripherals or microcontrollers. |
| Matched rise/fall times | Ensures symmetrical waveform edges, minimizing duty-cycle distortion in clock distribution and data capture paths. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal D-type register applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74FCT374CQ | Same FCT-C speed (5.2 ns), identical pinout, but manufactured by Texas Instruments; VOH spec slightly lower (2.4 V min vs 2.0 V min at IOH = –32 mA). | Valid for drop-in replacement in existing Cypress-designed boards; TI's version has tighter VOH tolerance but same thermal profile. | Select SN74FCT374CQ only if TI qualification or long-term supply continuity is prioritized over Cypress-specific reliability data. |
| 74AC374PC | Higher speed (3.5 ns max), but AC-family CMOS process lacks power-off disable (IOFF not specified); no guaranteed live-insertion support. | Not suitable for hot-swap backplanes; requires external isolation circuitry in modular systems where CY74FCT374CTQC is deployed. | Choose 74AC374PC only for fixed-installation, non-hot-swap applications demanding <4 ns timing and lower static power. |
Compared with SN74FCT374CQ and 74AC374PC, the CY74FCT374CTQC uniquely combines guaranteed 5.2 ns timing, power-off disable, and −40°C to +85°C qualification-making it the sole option for industrial hot-swap bus interfaces requiring both speed and robustness.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the CY74FCT374CTQC?
The CY74FCT374CTQC supports a maximum reliable clock frequency of 192 MHz, derived from its 5.2 ns maximum propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL) and 2 ns minimum setup/hold time. At this rate, the CY74FCT374CTQC maintains timing margin for stable data capture in synchronous bus systems operating at 5 V.
Does the CY74FCT374CTQC support hot-swap or live insertion?
Yes, the CY74FCT374CTQC supports live insertion via its power-off disable feature: when VCC = 0 V, off-state leakage current (IOFF) is limited to ±1 µA, preventing back-driving of powered buses. This behavior is explicitly tested and guaranteed per the datasheet, making the CY74FCT374CTQC suitable for modular backplane applications.
Is the CY74FCT374CTQC pin-compatible with the CY74FCT574CTQC?
No, the CY74FCT374CTQC and CY74FCT574CTQC are not pin-compatible. While functionally identical, the CY74FCT574CTQC uses a flow-through pinout (D0–D7 on one side, O0–O7 on the opposite) to simplify PCB routing, whereas the CY74FCT374CTQC uses a folded layout (D0–D7 and O0–O7 interleaved). Board redesign is required for substitution.
What is the output drive strength of the CY74FCT374CTQC at 5 V?
At VCC = 5 V, the CY74FCT374CTQC provides −32 mA output source current (IOH) and +64 mA output sink current (IOL) per pin under commercial conditions. This drive strength allows direct interfacing with standard TTL loads without external buffers, as confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table of the CY74FCT374CTQC datasheet.
Can the CY74FCT374CTQC operate outside the 5 V ±5% supply range?
No, the CY74FCT374CTQC is specified only for operation at 5 V ±5% (4.75 V to 5.25 V) across its full −40°C to +85°C temperature range. Exceeding this range violates Absolute Maximum Ratings (supply voltage limit: −0.5 V to +7.0 V), risks parametric failure, and voids guaranteed timing and drive performance-per the CY74FCT374CTQC datasheet Section "Operating Range".
