Product details
Overview
CY74FCT374TQC 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 (FCT-C speed grade), supports 250 MHz typical toggle rate, and features power-off disable for live insertion in bus-oriented systems.
For engineers reviewing the CY74FCT374TQC datasheet, CY74FCT374TQC pinout, CY74FCT374TQC application, or CY74FCT374TQC equivalent, key selection criteria include its 20-lead QSOP package, commercial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), 32 mA output drive capability, and compatibility with TTL-level inputs and outputs in high-speed digital interface designs.
Technical Context
The CY74FCT374TQC 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 applications.
It features TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max), 3.3 V typical VOH under load, and power-off disable that limits IOFF to ±1 µA when VCC = 0 V - enabling hot-swap capability without damaging backplane signals.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Propagation Delay (tPLH/tPHL) | Max 5.2 ns (FCT-C grade) - enables reliable operation up to ~190 MHz system clock in registered data paths |
| Output Drive Strength | 32 mA sink/source (commercial) - sufficient to drive 50 Ω transmission lines or multiple TTL loads |
| Operating Voltage | 5 V ±5% - compatible with standard 5 V logic rails and legacy TTL/CMOS mixed-signal systems |
| Temperature Range | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded control and communications equipment |
| Input Compatibility | TTL-level (VIH ≥ 2.0 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V) - interoperable with 74LS, 74ALS, and other 5 V bipolar logic families |
| Power-Off Disable | IOFF ≤ ±1 µA at VCC = 0 V - prevents back-driving of powered buses during board insertion/removal |
| Toggle Rate | 250 MHz typical - supports high-throughput data latching in burst-mode memory interfaces |
Pinout & Package
Package: 20-Lead (150-mil) QSOP (Q5), body size 7.2 mm × 5.3 mm, 0.635 mm pitch, surface-mount.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 13, 14 | D0–D7 Data Inputs | Asynchronous D-type inputs sampled on LOW-to-HIGH CP transition; TTL-compatible voltage thresholds |
| 5, 6, 9, 10, 11, 12, 15, 16 | O0–O7 Three-State Outputs | Outputs go HIGH-Z when OE = HIGH; driven low/high when OE = LOW and CP edge occurs |
| 17 | CP Clock Input | Buffered edge-triggered clock; requires minimum 5.0 ns pulse width (HIGH/LOW) for reliable sampling |
| 18 | OE Output Enable | Active-low control: OE = LOW enables outputs; OE = HIGH places all O0–O7 in high-impedance state |
| 19 | GND | Ground reference for logic and power; must be low-inductance connection for noise-sensitive operation |
| 20 | VCC | 5 V supply input; decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF ceramic) required within 5 mm of pin for stable switching |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Edge-rate controlled outputs | Reduces simultaneous switching noise (SSN) by limiting dv/dt - critical for EMI-sensitive bus designs |
| Matched rise/fall times | Ensures symmetrical waveform edges (tR ≈ tF), minimizing duty cycle distortion in clocked data paths |
| FCT-C speed grade | 5.2 ns max propagation delay - meets timing budgets for 100+ MHz synchronous bus interfaces |
| Power-off disable | Enables safe live insertion into powered backplanes without risk of bus contention or latch-up |
| ESD protection | >2000 V HBM - exceeds JEDEC JS-001 Class 2, supporting robust handling in manufacturing environments |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74FCT374ATQC | Same pinout and function, but TI-manufactured; 6.5 ns max tPLH (FCT-A speed grade), slightly higher ICC (0.2 mA quiescent) | Lower speed margin may limit use in >150 MHz clock domains; identical industrial temp support and drive strength | Select when sourcing diversity is required and 6.5 ns delay satisfies timing closure |
| 74AC374SCX | Advanced CMOS; 5 V only, 8.5 ns max tPLH, 24 mA drive, no power-off disable, 0°C to +70°C commercial range | Lacks live-insertion capability and extended temperature rating; lower noise immunity due to no edge-rate control | Choose only for cost-sensitive, non-hot-swap, ambient-temperature applications where FCT-specific features are unnecessary |
Compared with SN74FCT374ATQC and 74AC374SCX, the CY74FCT374TQC offers superior speed (5.2 ns vs. 6.5/8.5 ns), guaranteed power-off disable, and full –40°C to +85°C qualification - making it optimal for industrial bus interface and high-reliability test equipment designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by CY74FCT374TQC?
The CY74FCT374TQC has a 5.2 ns maximum propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL) and 2.0 ns minimum clock pulse width, enabling reliable operation up to approximately 190 MHz in ideal conditions. Real-world maximum frequency depends on setup/hold timing margins, PCB layout, and load capacitance - design validation at target clock rates is recommended using the device's published tS = 2.0 ns and tH = 1.5 ns specifications.
Does CY74FCT374TQC support hot-swap or live insertion?
Yes, CY74FCT374TQC includes a power-off disable feature that limits off-state leakage current (IOFF) to ±1 µA when VCC = 0 V. This allows safe insertion into a powered backplane without causing bus contention or damaging upstream drivers - a key requirement for modular industrial and telecom equipment.
Is CY74FCT374TQC pin-compatible with CY74FCT574TQC?
No, CY74FCT374TQC and CY74FCT574TQC have different pinouts: the FCT374T uses a "flow-in" arrangement (D0–D7 on one side, O0–O7 on the other), while the FCT574T uses flow-through routing (D0–D7 adjacent to corresponding O0–O7). Though functionally identical, they require separate PCB layouts - CY74FCT574TQC simplifies trace routing but is not a drop-in replacement for CY74FCT374TQC.
What is the output drive capability of CY74FCT374TQC?
CY74FCT374TQC provides 32 mA output sink and source current per pin under commercial conditions (VCC = 4.75 V, TA = +25°C). This allows direct driving of multiple TTL loads or 50 Ω transmission lines without external buffers - confirmed by VOL ≤ 0.55 V at IOL = 64 mA and VOH ≥ 2.4 V at IOH = –32 mA in the datasheet.
Can CY74FCT374TQC operate with 3.3 V supply voltage?
No, CY74FCT374TQC is specified only for 5 V ±5% operation (4.75 V to 5.25 V). Its internal circuitry, input thresholds, and output voltage levels are optimized for 5 V TTL compatibility. Applying 3.3 V will result in undefined logic behavior, insufficient noise margin, and failure to meet VOH/VOL specifications - use CY74FCT374CTQCT (3.3 V variant) instead.
