Product details
Overview
PI74VCX16374AE from Pericom Semiconductor is a 16-bit D-type flip-flop with 3-state outputs, designed for bidirectional bus driving, I/O port buffering, and working register functions in low-voltage digital systems. It operates across 1.8V–3.6V VDD, delivers ±24mA balanced drive, supports live insertion, and features I/O tolerance up to 3.6V. Used in industrial control backplanes and memory interface data latching.
For engineers reviewing the PI74VCX16374AE datasheet, PI74VCX16374AE pinout, PI74VCX16374AE application, or PI74VCX16374AE equivalent, key selection criteria include 3-state output timing (tPLH/tPHL ≤ 5.2ns at VDD = 3.3V), dual 8-bit or unified 16-bit configuration flexibility, I/O voltage tolerance, noise-reduction circuitry (VOLP < 0.6V), and TSSOP-48 packaging compatibility.
Technical Context
This device implements two independent 8-bit edge-triggered D-type flip-flop banks, each with dedicated clock (CLK) and output enable (OE) inputs. Data is latched on the positive transition of CLK, while OE (active-low) controls high-impedance output states without affecting internal storage.
Its patented noise reduction circuitry suppresses ground bounce (VOLP < 0.6V) and output undershoot (VOHV < –0.6V) at VDD = 2.5V. Power-off high-impedance behavior ensures safe bus isolation during supply sequencing, and I/O tolerance enables interoperability between 1.8V logic and 3.3V/3.6V interfaces.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDD Range | 1.8V to 3.6V - Enables operation in mixed-voltage systems including 1.8V core and 3.3V I/O domains. |
| Output Drive | ±24mA - Sufficient to directly drive terminated parallel buses without external pull-ups or buffers. |
| tPLH / tPHL | ≤5.2ns at VDD = 3.3V, CL = 50pF - Supports >100MHz clock rates in high-speed data path applications. |
| VOLP / VOHV | <0.6V / <–0.6V at VDD = 2.5V - Reduces switching noise coupling into adjacent signal lines and power rails. |
| I/O Voltage Tolerance | Up to 3.6V - Allows connection to higher-voltage peripherals without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - Qualified for industrial-grade embedded control and communications equipment. |

| 1D1–1D8, 2D1–2D8 | Data inputs | Eight parallel data inputs per bank; sampled on CLK rising edge. |
| 1Q1–1Q8, 2Q1–2Q8 | 3-state outputs | Corresponding latched outputs; driven HIGH/LOW when OE inactive, high-Z when OE active. |
| VDD, GND | Power and ground | Dual VDD/GND pairs (pins 6/7, 19/20, 31/32, 43/44) reduce supply impedance and improve noise immunity. |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit D-type flip-flop with 3-state output applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC16374ADGGR | Lower drive (±24mA same), but only rated for 1.65V–3.6V VDD; no VOLP/VOHV specs published. | Not qualified for –40°C operation; lacks documented noise-reduction circuitry. | Prefer for cost-sensitive consumer applications where industrial temp range and noise margin are non-critical. |
| 74ALVC16374PAG | Same VDD range (1.65V–3.6V); higher max fCLK (200MHz vs 150MHz typical); no I/O tolerance beyond VDD. | Requires external level shifters for 3.3V I/O interfacing; no live-insertion qualification. | Choose when maximum clock frequency is primary requirement and voltage translation is handled elsewhere. |
Compared with SN74LVC16374ADGGR and 74ALVC16374PAG, the PI74VCX16374AE uniquely combines industrial temperature rating, proven noise suppression, and true 3.6V I/O tolerance-making it optimal for robust, mixed-voltage embedded systems where signal integrity and hot-swap capability are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the recommended power-up sequence for PI74VCX16374AE to ensure high-impedance outputs?
OE must be held HIGH (via pull-up resistor to VDD) during power-up and power-down to guarantee outputs remain in high-impedance state. The minimum pull-up resistance is determined by the current-sinking capability of the driving source; typical values range from 4.7kΩ to 10kΩ for standard logic drivers.
Does PI74VCX16374AE support independent clocking of its two 8-bit banks?
Yes-Bank 1 (pins 1D1–1D8, 1Q1–1Q8, 1CLK, 1OE) and Bank 2 (pins 2D1–2D8, 2Q1–2Q8, 2CLK, 2OE) operate independently. Each bank has its own clock and output enable, allowing asynchronous latching and selective bus driving without cross-bank interference.
Can PI74VCX16374AE safely interface a 1.8V FPGA with a 3.3V SRAM device?
Yes-its 3.6V I/O tolerance allows all inputs and outputs to withstand 3.3V signals even when VDD = 1.8V. This eliminates external level shifters for bidirectional data/address lines, provided OE is controlled by the 1.8V domain and timing margins accommodate propagation delays.
How does the patented noise reduction circuitry impact PCB layout requirements?
The integrated noise reduction circuitry reduces ground bounce (VOLP < 0.6V) and output undershoot (VOHV < –0.6V), relaxing layout constraints on power plane decoupling and trace length matching. However, proper local VDD/GND pairing (per datasheet pin map) and 0.1µF ceramic decoupling near each VDD pin remain essential for full benefit.
