Product details
Overview
DM74ALS374N from Fairchild Semiconductor is an octal 3-STATE D-type edge-triggered flip-flop in a 20-lead PDIP package, operating at 5 V with 35 MHz max clock frequency, 10 ns data setup time, and ±24 mA output drive capability. It serves as a bus-oriented register for I/O port buffering and bidirectional data latching in TTL-compatible digital systems.
For engineers reviewing the DM74ALS374N datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include positive-edge clock triggering, independent 3-STATE output control, guaranteed AC performance over 0°C to +70°C, and compatibility with LS TTL logic families in bus-holding configurations.
Technical Context
The DM74ALS374N implements eight independent D-type flip-flops, each triggered on the positive edge of the clock input (CLK), with synchronous data capture from D0–D7 to Q0–Q7. Its output enable (OE) signal operates asynchronously to place all eight outputs into high-impedance state without affecting internal latch states.
This device uses advanced oxide-isolated, ion-implanted Schottky TTL process, delivering improved AC performance versus DM74LS374 while consuming approximately half the power. It guarantees switching specifications at 50 pF load across full temperature and VCC range (4.5 V to 5.5 V).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

| Logic Family | Advanced Low-Power Schottky (ALS) TTL - ensures compatibility with LS TTL and lower power than standard TTL |
| Max Clock Frequency | 35 MHz - supports high-speed bus interface timing in legacy computing and industrial control systems |
| Data Setup Time | 10 ns - defines minimum D-input stability window before CLK rising edge for reliable latching |
| Output Drive | −2.6 mA (IOH), 24 mA (IOL) - enables direct driving of capacitive bus lines without external buffers |
| Propagation Delay | 3–16 ns (tPLH/tPHL) - determines worst-case path delay between CLK edge and valid Q output transition |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to +70°C - specifies commercial-grade ambient range for stable operation in non-extended environments |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - defines allowable VCC tolerance for robust noise margin and logic level integrity |

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the DM74ALS374N?
The DM74ALS374N supports a maximum clock frequency of 35 MHz under recommended operating conditions (VCC = 4.5 V to 5.5 V, TA = 0°C to +70°C). This value is guaranteed across temperature and voltage ranges with 50 pF capacitive load, enabling reliable use in high-speed bus synchronization applications where timing margins are tight.
Does the DM74ALS374N require external pull-up resistors on its outputs?
No, the DM74ALS374N does not require external pull-up resistors. Its totem-pole 3-STATE outputs provide active HIGH and LOW drive capability (±24 mA), allowing direct connection to bus lines without interface components. This design eliminates bus contention and simplifies PCB layout in systems like industrial backplanes and legacy computer architectures.
Is the DM74ALS374N pin-compatible with the DM74LS374N?
Yes, the DM74ALS374N is functionally and pin-for-pin compatible with the DM74LS374N as confirmed in the Fairchild datasheet. Both share identical pin assignments, logic behavior, and package outlines (e.g., N20A PDIP), enabling direct replacement where higher speed (35 MHz vs. 25 MHz) and lower power consumption are beneficial.
What is the data hold time specification for the DM74ALS374N?
The DM74ALS374N has a data hold time (tH) of 0 ns, meaning D-inputs may change immediately after the CLK rising edge without affecting the latched output. This zero hold-time requirement simplifies timing design in synchronous systems and reduces constraints on data path routing in dense digital boards.
Can the DM74ALS374N operate outside the 0°C to +70°C temperature range?
No, the DM74ALS374N is specified only for 0°C to +70°C free-air operating temperature. While absolute maximum ratings extend to −65°C to +150°C for storage, electrical characteristics including propagation delay, setup time, and output drive are not guaranteed outside the recommended range. For extended temperature applications, consider automotive-qualified alternatives or derating analysis.
