Product details
Overview
SN74ABT374DBLE from Texas Instruments is an octal edge-triggered D-type flip-flop with 3-state outputs in a 20-pin SSOP (DB) package. It operates at 4.5–5.5 V, delivers ±32 mA high-drive outputs, supports 150 MHz clock frequency, and features low propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL ≤ 6.2 ns). It is used for bidirectional bus driving and I/O port buffering in industrial digital systems.
For engineers reviewing the SN74ABT374DBLE datasheet, SN74ABT374DBLE pinout, SN74ABT374DBLE application, or SN74ABT374DBLE equivalent, key selection criteria include 3-state output timing (tPZH/tPHZ ≤ 5.2 ns), latch-up immunity (>500 mA), output ground bounce (<1 V), and compatibility with 5-V TTL/CMOS buses requiring high fan-out and bus contention control.
Technical Context
This device implements eight independent positive-edge-triggered D flip-flops with asynchronous 3-state output control via OE. Each flip-flop captures D-input logic on CLK↑ and holds state until next clock edge, while OE independently places all Q outputs into high-impedance without affecting internal storage.
Its EPIC-IIB BiCMOS process enables high-speed switching (fMAX = 150 MHz) with low power dissipation and robust ESD protection (>2000 V HBM). The design supports hot-swap-capable bus interfaces by allowing data retention during output disable and eliminating need for external pull-ups when OE is tied to VCC.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures compatibility with standard 5-V TTL logic rails and noise margin compliance. |
| Output Drive | –32 mA IOH / 64 mA IOL - drives heavy capacitive loads (e.g., >50 pF buses) without signal degradation. |
| Max Clock Frequency | 150 MHz - supports high-throughput data latching in memory interfaces and address/data multiplexing. |
| Propagation Delay | tPLH/tPHL ≤ 6.2 ns @ VCC = 5 V - enables tight timing budgets in synchronous bus architectures. |
| 3-State Enable Time | tPZH ≤ 5.2 ns - allows rapid bus arbitration and fast turnaround between read/write cycles. |
| Latch-Up Immunity | >500 mA per JEDEC JESD-17 - guarantees robust operation in noisy industrial environments with supply transients. |
| ESD Protection | >2000 V HBM - meets MIL-STD-883 requirements for handling and board-level reliability. |
Pinout & Package
The SN74ABT374DBLE is housed in a 20-pin Shrink Small-Outline Package (SSOP, DB), measuring 7.5 mm × 5.6 mm × 1.75 mm, with 0.65 mm lead pitch and gull-wing leads suitable for surface-mount reflow assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OE (Output Enable) | Active-low control that places all eight Q outputs in high-impedance state; does not affect internal flip-flop operation. |
| 2–9, 11–18 | D1–D8, Q1–Q8 | Paired data inputs and registered outputs; each D→Q path is edge-triggered on CLK↑. |
| 10 | GND | Power ground reference for all logic and output stages; must be low-impedance for stable VOL/VOLP. |
| 19 | CLK | Global positive-edge clock input synchronizing all eight flip-flops simultaneously. |
| 20 | VCC | 5-V supply rail powering both BiCMOS logic core and high-drive output buffers. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High-Drive 3-State Outputs | –32 mA IOH / 64 mA IOL enables direct connection to unterminated 50-pF+ buses without interface components. |
| Low Output Ground Bounce | VOLP < 1 V at VCC = 5 V ensures signal integrity during simultaneous output switching in dense PCB layouts. |
| State-of-the-Art EPIC-IIB BiCMOS | Combines CMOS input stage with bipolar output drivers for speed/power optimization in 5-V systems. |
| Robust Latch-Up Immunity | Exceeds 500 mA per JEDEC JESD-17 - eliminates risk of destructive latch-up under transient overvoltage conditions. |
| Hot-Swap Bus Control | OE can be toggled asynchronously while CLK/D remain active, enabling dynamic bus sharing without data loss. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Modules | Backplane Data Buffers |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Isolating and latching sensor/actuator signals in modular programmable logic controllers with shared backplane buses. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Acts as synchronized input register and output driver, capturing field data on CLK↑ and presenting it to the CPU bus only when enabled by system-level OE control. Use Value: Eliminates need for discrete bus transceivers and pull-up networks, reducing BOM count and improving timing predictability across 8-bit parallel I/O channels. | Use Scenario: Driving high-capacitance motherboard traces between processor and peripheral slots in legacy industrial computers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Functions as bidirectional bus latch-holding CPU address/data during memory access cycles and releasing bus to peripherals when OE is asserted. Use Value: Supports 150 MHz operation with sub-7 ns propagation delay, meeting strict setup/hold timing for ISA-compatible expansion interfaces. |
| Memory Interface Registers | Legacy Display Controller Buffers |
Use Scenario: Synchronizing asynchronous SRAM or Flash memory access in microcontroller-based embedded systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Captures write data on rising CLK edge and presents stable outputs to memory address/data lines, decoupling MCU timing from memory access latency. Use Value: Enables reliable 5-V memory interfacing with 2.5 ns data setup time and 2.1 ns hold time, preventing metastability in mixed-speed designs. | Use Scenario: Buffering pixel data and control signals between FPGA video generators and analog RGB DACs in industrial HMIs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides glitch-free 3-state isolation between video pipeline stages, allowing dynamic reconfiguration of display resolution or color depth without bus contention. Use Value: Delivers 64 mA sink current per output to drive 75-Ω coaxial video lines directly, avoiding external line drivers in cost-sensitive panel designs. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal D-type flip-flop applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ABT244DBR | Octal buffer (non-latching), no clock or D-register functionality; identical 3-state drive specs. | Suitable only for transparent data pass-through, not for synchronous sampling or storage. | Select when bus buffering without edge-triggered capture is required; not a functional replacement for SN74ABT374DBLE. |
| SN74ACT374DBR | TTL-compatible 5-V CMOS version; lower drive (–24 mA/24 mA), higher tPLH (7.5 ns), same pinout and function. | Used where lower power and reduced ground bounce are prioritized over maximum speed and drive strength. | Drop-in compatible for less demanding timing or lower-current applications; verify VOL/VOLP margins in high-noise environments. |
Compared with SN74ABT244DBR, SN74ABT374DBLE adds edge-triggered storage essential for synchronous systems; compared with SN74ACT374DBR, it provides +33% output drive and ~15% faster propagation, making it preferable for high-speed, high-fanout bus interfaces where timing closure is critical.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for SN74ABT374DBLE?
The SN74ABT374DBLE is characterized for operation from –40°C to 85°C, matching the SN74ABT374A specification. This commercial-grade range supports deployment in industrial enclosures, factory automation equipment, and non-military embedded systems where extended thermal stability is required but full military-grade operation is unnecessary. The SN74ABT374DBLE shares this rating with other DB-package variants like SN74ABT374ADBR.
Does SN74ABT374DBLE support hot-swap operation?
Yes, SN74ABT374DBLE supports hot-swap operation through its independently controlled OE input. When OE is asserted (low), all Q outputs enter high-impedance without disrupting internal flip-flop states, allowing safe insertion/removal from live 5-V buses. TI recommends tying OE to VCC via a pullup resistor during power-up to ensure default high-Z state, preventing bus contention before system initialization completes.
What is the maximum capacitive load SN74ABT374DBLE can drive reliably?
SN74ABT374DBLE is specified for CL = 50 pF in switching characteristics tables, with propagation delays (tPLH/tPHL ≤ 6.2 ns) and output drive (64 mA IOL) validated under that condition. While it can drive higher capacitance due to its high-current outputs, signal integrity degrades beyond 50 pF without careful layout-trace length, termination, and ground plane design become critical. For >50 pF loads, empirical validation using the actual PCB stack-up and routing is recommended.
Is SN74ABT374DBLE pin-compatible with other ABT-series octal flip-flops?
Yes, SN74ABT374DBLE shares identical 20-pin DB package pinout and logic function with SN74ABT374ADBR, SN74ABT374ADBRG4, and SN74ABT374ADW. All use the same OE/CLK/D/Q/GND/VCC assignment per TI's SCBS111G datasheet. However, SN74ABT374DBLE is marked OBSOLETE in TI's packaging addendum, so active alternatives like SN74ABT374ADBR are recommended for new designs.
How does the EPIC-IIB BiCMOS process benefit SN74ABT374DBLE performance?
The EPIC-IIB BiCMOS process in SN74ABT374DBLE integrates CMOS input stages with bipolar output drivers, achieving significantly lower power dissipation than pure bipolar logic while maintaining high-speed performance (150 MHz fMAX) and strong output drive (–32 mA/64 mA). This architecture reduces switching noise and improves noise immunity-key for stable operation in electrically noisy industrial settings where SN74ABT374DBLE is commonly deployed.
