Product details
Overview
CY74FCT374CTQCT from Texas Instruments is a high-speed, low-power 8-bit edge-triggered D-type flip-flop register with 3-state outputs, designed for bus-oriented digital systems. It features a buffered clock (CP), common output-enable (OE), ±32 mA output drive, 5.2 ns maximum propagation delay, and Ioff support for partial-power-down operation in mixed-voltage environments.
For engineers reviewing the CY74FCT374CTQCT datasheet, CY74FCT374CTQCT pinout, CY74FCT374CTQCT application, or CY74FCT374CTQCT equivalent, key selection criteria include 3-state bus interface capability, TTL-compatible input thresholds, 5-V supply operation with 250-MHz typical switching rate, and QSOP-20 packaging for high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The CY74FCT374CTQCT implements eight independent D-type latches synchronized to the low-to-high transition of CP, with all outputs controlled by a shared OE signal. Its FCT-family architecture delivers reduced VOH (~3.3 V) and edge-rate control circuitry to minimize switching noise while maintaining full TTL logic level compatibility.
Ioff circuitry actively disables outputs during power-down, preventing backflow current when VCC = 0 V, and matched rise/fall times ensure clean signal integrity in high-speed data capture and buffering applications across industrial and embedded control systems.
Key Specifications

| Logic Family | FCT (Fast CMOS TTL-compatible), ensuring drop-in replacement for 74F/74LS in legacy 5-V systems |
| Propagation Delay (tPLH/tPHL) | 5.2 ns max at VCC = 5 V - enables reliable 192-MHz operation (1/5.2 ns) in synchronous bus interfaces |
| Output Drive | ±32 mA (IOH/IOL) - supports direct driving of multiple TTL loads without external buffers |
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.75 V to 5.25 V - tight regulation tolerance ensures stable timing margins in noisy 5-V rails |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 8-bit 3-state register applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74F374N | Same pinout, but higher ICC (20 mA vs. 0.2 mA), no Ioff, slower tpd (12 ns), non-RoHS PDIP only | Limited to legacy through-hole designs; unsuitable for partial-power-down or high-density surface-mount layouts | Select SN74F374N only for direct 74F-series replacement in existing through-hole boards with no power sequencing constraints. |
| 74ACT374SCX | Higher VOH (4.4 V), 50 mA drive, 10 ns tpd, SOIC-20 only; no Ioff or edge-rate control | Better for 5-V systems needing stronger drive, but lacks bus isolation and hot-swap safety features | Choose 74ACT374SCX when interfacing to high-capacitance buses where speed margin outweighs EMI and power-down safety needs. |
Compared with SN74F374N and 74ACT374SCX, CY74FCT374CTQCT uniquely balances low-power operation, industrial-grade ESD, Ioff-enabled system safety, and QSOP packaging-making it optimal for new designs requiring reliability, density, and mixed-rail compatibility.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by CY74FCT374CTQCT?
CY74FCT374CTQCT supports a typical switching rate of 250 MHz, validated under standard load conditions (CL = 50 pF). Its 5.2 ns maximum propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL) and 5 ns minimum clock pulse width (tw) enable reliable operation up to 192 MHz in worst-case timing analysis, making it suitable for high-speed data capture and synchronous bus applications.
Does CY74FCT374CTQCT support partial-power-down operation?
Yes, CY74FCT374CTQCT includes Ioff circuitry that disables outputs when VCC = 0 V, limiting Ioff current to ±1 µA. This feature prevents damaging current backflow during hot-swap or power sequencing events, enabling safe use in modular backplanes and multi-rail industrial systems where power domains are independently controlled.
What package type is used for CY74FCT374CTQCT?
CY74FCT374CTQCT uses a QSOP-20 (DBQ) package: 20-pin, 0.154" body width, 0.65 mm lead pitch, RoHS-compliant NiPdAu surface finish, and moisture sensitivity level (MSL) rating of Level-2-260°C-1 year - optimized for automated SMT assembly and high-density PCB layouts.
How does CY74FCT374CTQCT differ from the CY74FCT374ATQCT variant?
CY74FCT374CTQCT has a 5.2 ns maximum propagation delay and operates across –40°C to +85°C, while CY74FCT374ATQCT offers 6.5 ns tpd and identical temperature range. Both share identical pinout, Ioff, and 3-state functionality, but the 'C' suffix denotes faster timing performance for applications demanding tighter setup/hold margins.
Is CY74FCT374CTQCT compatible with TTL-level inputs and outputs?
Yes, CY74FCT374CTQCT is fully compatible with TTL logic levels: VIH = 2.0 V min and VIL = 0.8 V max meet standard TTL thresholds, and its VOH ≈ 3.3 V (typical) and VOL ≤ 0.55 V ensure reliable interfacing with 74LS, 74ALS, and other legacy TTL families without level-shifting circuitry.
