Product details
Overview
SN74AHC374PWE4 from Texas Instruments is an octal edge-triggered D-type flip-flop with 3-state outputs, designed for bus interface applications requiring controlled drive strength and low-output ringing. It operates from 2 V to 5.5 V, supports 8-bit parallel data latching on CLK rising edge, and features output-enable (OE) control for high-impedance bus isolation-used in server motherboards and network switches.
For engineers reviewing the SN74AHC374PWE4 datasheet, SN74AHC374PWE4 pinout, SN74AHC374PWE4 application, or SN74AHC374PWE4 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3-state output timing (tPLH/tPHL ≤10.5 ns at 5 V), ±25 mA output drive capability, 20-pin TSSOP package, and overvoltage-tolerant inputs up to 5.5 V independent of VCC.
Technical Context
The SN74AHC374PWE4 implements eight independent D-type latches synchronized to the rising edge of CLK, with a shared active-low output-enable (OE) controlling all eight Q outputs simultaneously. Its CMOS AHC logic family ensures balanced rise/fall times and reduced signal overshoot-critical for driving capacitive bus loads without external termination.
Each channel accepts D inputs tolerant to 5.5 V regardless of VCC (2–5.5 V), enabling voltage-level translation (e.g., 5-V input to 3.3-V system). The device's slow-edge design minimizes EMI and ringing, while latch-up immunity (>250 mA per JESD17) and robust ESD protection (2000-V HBM) support industrial and telecom environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2 V to 5.5 V - enables interoperability across 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V logic domains |
| fMAX (CL = 15 pF) | 110 MHz at 5 V - supports high-speed register buffering in data-path pipelines |
| tPLH / tPHL | ≤10.5 ns at VCC = 5 V - ensures tight timing margins for synchronous bus interfaces |
| IOL / IOH | ±8 mA at 5 V - provides sufficient drive for TTL/CMOS loads without external buffers |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | Up to 5.5 V - allows 5-V signals into 3.3-V systems without level shifters |

Pinout & Package
TSSOP-20 (PW) package: 6.50 mm × 6.40 mm body size, 0.65 mm lead pitch, surface-mount, RoHS-compliant, moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OE) | Active-low output enable | Asserting low enables all eight Q outputs; high places them in high-impedance state for bus sharing |
| 2–9, 12–19 (Q1–Q8, D1–D8) | Data outputs / inputs | Octal D-to-Q path: each Q reflects corresponding D on CLK rising edge when OE is active |
| 11 (CLK) | Clock input | Edge-sensitive trigger-only rising edge captures D inputs; asynchronous reset not supported |
| 10 (GND) | Ground reference | Common return for all internal logic and I/O; requires low-inductance connection to minimize noise |
| 20 (VCC) | Power supply | Single-supply rail powering core logic and output drivers; bypass capacitor mandatory per TI layout guidelines |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 3-State Output Control | Shared OE pin enables simultaneous bus release across all 8 channels-eliminates need for discrete enable logic |
| Overvoltage-Tolerant Inputs | D and CLK accept up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC setting-simplifies mixed-voltage board design |
| Controlled Edge Rate | Slower transitions reduce output ringing and EMI-critical for clean signal integrity on long PCB traces |
| Latch-Up Immunity | Exceeds 250 mA per JESD17-ensures robustness against transient current faults in noisy environments |
| Low Power Dissipation | ICC ≤ 40 µA at 5.5 V - supports energy-efficient operation in always-on infrastructure nodes |
Applications

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC374APW | Lower VCC range (1.65–3.6 V); faster tPLH (6.7 ns @ 3.3 V); no 5-V input tolerance | Optimized for 3.3-V-only systems; unsuitable for mixed-voltage translation | Select when operating exclusively at 3.3 V and maximum speed is prioritized over voltage flexibility |
| 74AHC574PW | Identical AHC family specs; same pinout and timing; identical 2–5.5 V range and 5.5-V input tolerance | No functional difference-direct second-source alternative with identical qualification | Preferred for supply chain diversification without design change or requalification |

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by SN74AHC374PWE4 at 3.3 V?
At VCC = 3.3 V ± 0.3 V and CL = 15 pF, SN74AHC374PWE4 supports a maximum clock frequency of 70 MHz across its full operating temperature range (–40°C to +125°C). This value is specified in the switching characteristics table and accounts for worst-case process/voltage/temperature corners.
Does SN74AHC374PWE4 support 5-V input signals when powered at 3.3 V?
Yes, SN74AHC374PWE4 supports input voltages up to 5.5 V on all D and CLK pins-even when VCC is as low as 2 V. This overvoltage tolerance enables reliable level translation from 5-V peripherals into 3.3-V systems without external components.
What is the purpose of the OE pin on SN74AHC374PWE4?
The OE (output enable) pin on SN74AHC374PWE4 is an active-low control that places all eight Q outputs simultaneously into high-impedance state when asserted high. When OE is low, outputs reflect latched D-input values-enabling bidirectional bus arbitration and preventing contention.
Can SN74AHC374PWE4 be used in automotive applications?
SN74AHC374PWE4 is not AEC-Q100 qualified and is rated for –40°C to +125°C operation-suitable for under-hood industrial or telecom infrastructure, but not certified for automotive safety-critical ECUs. For automotive use, TI recommends AEC-Q100 qualified alternatives like SN74AHC374QPWRQ1.
What decoupling capacitance is recommended for SN74AHC374PWE4?
Texas Instruments recommends a 0.1-µF ceramic capacitor placed as close as possible to the VCC pin of SN74AHC374PWE4. For boards with multiple power pins or high-frequency noise, paralleling with a 1-µF capacitor improves broadband suppression-per TI's layout guidelines in Section 8.3.
