Product details
Overview
SN74ALS874BDWRE4 from Texas Instruments is a dual 4-bit D-type edge-triggered flip-flop with 3-state noninverting outputs, designed as a bus-oriented register driver. It features asynchronous clear (CLR), true logic outputs, 24-pin SOIC (DW) package, 30 MHz max clock frequency, and 24 mA low-level output drive-enabling direct TTL/LS bus interfacing in industrial control backplanes and legacy data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the SN74ALS874BDWRE4 datasheet, SN74ALS874BDWRE4 pinout, SN74ALS874BDWRE4 application, or SN74ALS874BDWRE4 equivalent, key selection criteria include bus-driver timing (tPLH/tPHL ≤14 ns), 3-state enable/disable performance (tPZH/tPLZ ≤18 ns), rail-to-rail 5 V operation, and compatibility with ALS logic families in space-constrained PCB layouts requiring high fan-out and bidirectional bus isolation.
Technical Context
This device implements two independent 4-bit D-type registers, each with edge-triggered latching on CLK↑ and asynchronous active-low CLR. The 3-state outputs are controlled by separate OE inputs per register, enabling independent bus arbitration without external gating logic.
It operates strictly within 4.5–5.5 V supply range and is characterized for 0°C to 70°C ambient. Its ALS-family propagation delays (e.g., tPHL = 4–14 ns) and output drive (IOL = 24 mA) are optimized for noise-immune, high-speed TTL-compatible bus loading-distinct from AS-series variants (e.g., SN74AS874) which offer faster timing but higher ICC and tighter VIH/VIL thresholds.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Family | Advanced Low-Power Schottky (ALS), fully compatible with TTL input/output voltage thresholds and drive strength |
| Max Clock Frequency | 30 MHz - supports synchronous data capture at 33.3 ns period in bus register applications |
| Output Drive (IOL) | 24 mA - directly drives 10+ standard TTL loads or 20+ LS-TTL loads without buffer amplification |
| Propagation Delay (tPHL) | 4–14 ns - ensures sub-15 ns register-to-bus latency critical for real-time I/O port handshaking |
| 3-State Enable Time (tPZH) | 2–10 ns - enables fast bus release for time-multiplexed peripheral access in shared-data-path architectures |
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - accommodates nominal 5 V rails with ±10% tolerance, including aging and ripple margins |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to 70°C - qualified for commercial-grade embedded systems, not extended or military temperature ranges |
Pinout & Package
SN74ALS874BDWRE4 uses a 24-pin SOIC (DW) package with 300-mil width, gull-wing leads, and JEDEC MO-058 AB compliance. Pin 1 is located in Quadrant Q1 per tape-and-reel orientation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1CLR, 2CLR | Asynchronous Clear Input (active-low) | Resets corresponding 4-bit register independently of clock; overrides CLK and D inputs |
| 1OE, 2OE | Output Enable Input (active-low) | Controls 3-state output drivers for respective register; high = high-impedance bus release |
| 1CLK, 2CLK | Clock Input (positive-edge triggered) | Latches data from D inputs on rising edge; no internal synchronization or metastability hardening |
| 1D1–1D4, 2D1–2D4 | Data Inputs | Parallel 4-bit input per register; sampled only on CLK↑ when CLR is inactive |
| 1Q1–1Q4, 2Q1–2Q4 | Noninverting Registered Outputs | True logic outputs reflecting latched D values; driven only when OE is low |
| VCC, GND | Power Supply Pins | Single 5 V supply; requires local 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling per package per TI layout guidelines |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent 4-bit registers | Enables two separate 4-bit data paths (e.g., address/data latching) on one IC, reducing board count and routing complexity |
| Bus-structured pinout | Minimizes trace crossovers in dense PCB layouts; groups related signals (D/Q/OE/CLK per register) for clean routing |
| 3-state outputs with separate OE | Allows dynamic bus sharing between multiple devices without external bus transceivers or direction control logic |
| Asynchronous clear per register | Permits selective reset of one register while preserving state in the other-critical for multi-channel I/O port management |
| ALS logic family compatibility | Guarantees interoperability with legacy 74ALS, 74LS, and 74F systems without level-shifting or timing recalculations |
Applications
| Industrial Backplane Bus Interface | Legacy Data Acquisition System |
|---|---|
|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual 4-bit registered bus driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ALS874BDWR | Same die, identical electrical specs, RoHS-compliant NIPDAU finish vs. E4's legacy finish; same DW package and marking "ALS874B" | No functional difference; suitable for new designs requiring RoHS compliance and modern assembly processes | Select SN74ALS874BDWR for new production; SN74ALS874BDWRE4 remains viable for legacy repair or obsolescence mitigation where E4 marking is specified |
| SN74AS874DW | Faster timing (125 MHz fmax, 8.5 ns tPLH), higher ICC (133 mA), stricter VIH/VIL (2.0 V/0.8 V), and 48 mA IOL | Better suited for high-speed bus extensions but incompatible with ALS/LS fan-out budgets and power budgets | Choose SN74AS874DW only if system demands sub-10 ns register latency and can support higher supply current and tighter input thresholds |
Compared with SN74ALS874BDWRE4, SN74ALS874BDWR offers identical functionality with updated environmental compliance, while SN74AS874DW trades power efficiency and legacy compatibility for raw speed-making the former a drop-in replacement and the latter a redesign-dependent upgrade.

FAQ
What is the function of the 1CLR and 2CLR pins on the SN74ALS874BDWRE4?
The 1CLR and 2CLR pins are active-low asynchronous clear inputs that independently reset the first and second 4-bit registers of the SN74ALS874BDWRE4. When pulled low, they force all Q outputs in the respective register to logic low regardless of clock or data inputs-enabling immediate, clock-independent state clearing for fault recovery or initialization sequences in the SN74ALS874BDWRE4.
Does the SN74ALS874BDWRE4 support 3.3 V operation?
No, the SN74ALS874BDWRE4 is specified only for 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply operation and is not 3.3 V tolerant. Its input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V, VIL = 0.8 V) and output drive characteristics are optimized for 5 V TTL/ALS systems. Applying 3.3 V to VCC will result in undefined behavior, insufficient noise margin, or failure to meet timing specifications for the SN74ALS874BDWRE4.
How does the SN74ALS874BDWRE4 differ from the SN74ALS876A?
The SN74ALS874BDWRE4 features asynchronous clear (CLR) and noninverting Q outputs, whereas the SN74ALS876A uses preset (PRE) and inverting Q outputs. Their function tables, timing parameters, and control logic are distinct: SN74ALS874BDWRE4 resets outputs low on CLR, while SN74ALS876A forces outputs low on PRE. They are not functionally interchangeable without circuit redesign for the SN74ALS874BDWRE4.
What is the maximum capacitive load the SN74ALS874BDWRE4 can drive on its outputs?
The SN74ALS874BDWRE4 switching characteristics are characterized with CL = 50 pF, and its output drive capability (24 mA IOL) supports typical PCB trace capacitance plus up to ~3–5 standard TTL inputs. Driving >75 pF may degrade tPLH/tPHL beyond 14 ns and increase ground bounce; TI recommends limiting total load to 50 pF unless validated with actual board parasitics for the SN74ALS874BDWRE4.
Is the SN74ALS874BDWRE4 pin-compatible with the SN74AS874DW?
Yes, the SN74ALS874BDWRE4 and SN74AS874DW share identical 24-pin SOIC (DW) packaging and pinout-including matching assignments for CLR, OE, CLK, D, Q, VCC, and GND. However, they are not functionally or electrically interchangeable due to differing timing, drive strength, and supply current; substituting them requires full system validation for the SN74ALS874BDWRE4.
