Product details
Overview
SN74ALVCH16374 from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit edge-triggered D-type flip-flop with 3-state outputs, designed for 1.65-V to 3.6-V operation. It features dual 8-bit sections (1CLK/1D–1Q and 2CLK/2D–2Q), independent output-enable (1OE/2OE) control per section, bus-hold on all data inputs, and operates across –40°C to 85°C. It serves as a bidirectional bus interface register in high-speed digital systems.
For engineers reviewing the SN74ALVCH16374 datasheet, SN74ALVCH16374 pinout, SN74ALVCH16374 application, or SN74ALVCH16374 equivalent, key selection criteria include VCC range compatibility (1.65–3.6 V), 3-state output timing (tdis ≤ 4.3 ns at 3.3 V), bus-hold functionality, and DGG package thermal impedance (89°C/W).
Technical Context
This device implements two independent 8-bit positive-edge-triggered D-flip-flop banks, each with dedicated clock (1CLK/2CLK), data (1D1–1D8 / 2D1–2D8), output (1Q1–1Q8 / 2Q1–2Q8), and output-enable (1OE/2OE) signals. Internal bus-hold circuitry actively maintains valid logic levels on floating data inputs without external resistors.
Output enable is asynchronous and non-inverting: OE = low enables normal Q outputs; OE = high forces high-impedance (Z) state without affecting internal latch operation. The EPIC™ submicron CMOS process ensures low power consumption (ICC ≤ 40 µA at 3.6 V) and robust ESD protection (>2000 V HBM).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 1.65 V to 3.6 V - supports mixed-voltage system interfacing (e.g., 1.8-V core to 3.3-V I/O) |
| Propagation Delay (tpd) | 1 ns (min) to 4.2 ns (max) at 3.3 V - enables ≥150-MHz clock operation in synchronous bus designs |
| Output Drive (IOL/IOH) | ±24 mA at 3 V - sufficient to drive 50-pF loads with fast edge rates and minimal signal degradation |
| Bus-Hold Current | ±75 µA at 3 V - actively holds unused D inputs at valid logic levels, eliminating external pullup/pulldown components |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded control and communications equipment |
| Input Transition Rate | 10 ns/V - specifies maximum allowable input slew rate to prevent metastability or false triggering |
| Thermal Impedance (θJA) | 89°C/W (DGG package) - determines safe power dissipation limit under natural convection cooling |
Pinout & Package
SN74ALVCH16374 is packaged in a 48-pin Thin Shrink Small-Outline (DGG) package with 0.5-mm pitch and 10.0-mm × 10.0-mm body size. Pin assignment follows standard Widebus™ layout with split power/ground rails for noise reduction.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE, 2OE | Output Enable (active-low) | Asynchronous control of 3-state output drivers; OE = high places corresponding Q outputs in high-Z mode |
| 1CLK, 2CLK | Clock Input (positive-edge) | Triggers simultaneous latching of all eight D inputs in respective section on rising edge |
| 1D1–1D8, 2D1–2D8 | Data Inputs | Each has integrated bus-hold; retains last valid logic state when left floating or unconnected |
| 1Q1–1Q8, 2Q1–2Q8 | Registered Outputs | 3-state outputs capable of driving PCB traces directly; high-Z state isolates bus during contention |
| VCC (Pins 7, 18, 29, 40) | Supply Voltage | Four distributed VCC pins reduce IR drop and improve power integrity across 16-bit bus |
| GND (Pins 4, 10, 15, 21, 31, 34, 42, 45) | Ground Reference | Eight GND pins provide low-inductance return paths and minimize ground bounce in high-speed switching |
Key Features

|---|---|
| Wide VCC Range (1.65–3.6 V) | Enables interoperability between 1.8-V, 2.5-V, and 3.3-V logic domains without level shifters |
| Independent Dual 8-Bit Sections | Allows flexible partitioning - e.g., one section for address latching, another for data buffering - with separate clock and OE control |
| Integrated Bus-Hold Circuitry | Eliminates need for 32 external pullup/pulldown resistors on D inputs, reducing BOM count and board space |
| High-Speed 3-State Outputs | Sub-5 ns disable time (tdis) and 1-ns min propagation delay support clean bus turnaround in multiplexed memory/data interfaces |
| Industrial Temperature Range | Validated operation from –40°C to +85°C ensures reliability in factory automation, networking, and base station equipment |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit registered buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC16374ADGGR | Same pinout, identical function, but uses LVC process - lower ICC (20 µA vs. 40 µA), slightly higher VOL at 24 mA (0.55 V vs. 0.4 V at 3 V) | Preferred for ultra-low-power battery-operated systems where static current matters more than marginal VOL margin | Select SN74LVC16374ADGGR if supply current minimization is critical and 0.55-V VOL is acceptable under full load |
| 74ALVCH16374T | TSSOP-48 (DL package), θJA = 94°C/W vs. 89°C/W; otherwise identical electrical specs and pinout | Suitable where board layout constraints favor standard TSSOP over thin-profile DGG, accepting ~5% higher thermal resistance | Choose 74ALVCH16374T when mechanical fit or legacy footprint compatibility outweighs thermal performance optimization |
Compared with SN74ALVCH16374, SN74LVC16374ADGGR reduces quiescent current by half but trades off slight output voltage margin, while 74ALVCH16374T offers identical functionality in a thermally less efficient but mechanically interchangeable package.

FAQ
What is the minimum recommended VCC for reliable operation of the SN74ALVCH16374?
The SN74ALVCH16374 is characterized for operation down to 1.65 V. Below this voltage, timing parameters such as setup time (tsu) and propagation delay (tpd) are not guaranteed, and bus-hold functionality may become unreliable. For designs targeting 1.8-V systems, SN74ALVCH16374 operates fully within specification and delivers verified 150-MHz clock capability at VCC = 1.8 V.
Does the SN74ALVCH16374 require external pullup resistors on its data inputs?
No. The SN74ALVCH16374 integrates active bus-hold circuitry on all 16 data inputs (1D1–1D8 and 2D1–2D8), which maintains valid logic states on floating or unused inputs without external components. This feature eliminates the need for 32 discrete pullup/pulldown resistors, simplifying layout and reducing BOM cost.
How does output-enable (OE) behavior affect internal latch state in the SN74ALVCH16374?
In the SN74ALVCH16374, OE is purely an output driver control signal and has no effect on internal flip-flop operation. While outputs are in high-impedance state (OE = high), the internal latches retain their stored data, and new data can still be clocked in on subsequent CLK edges - enabling seamless bus arbitration and glitch-free state updates.
What is the thermal performance difference between the DGG and DL packages for the SN74ALVCH16374?
The SN74ALVCH16374 in the DGG (thin shrink small-outline) package has a junction-to-ambient thermal impedance (θJA) of 89°C/W, while the DL (shrink small-outline) variant measures 94°C/W. This 5°C/W difference means the DGG package dissipates heat ~5.6% more efficiently under identical conditions, supporting higher sustained output drive or denser board layouts.
Can the SN74ALVCH16374 be used as two independent 8-bit registers?
Yes. The SN74ALVCH16374 contains two electrically isolated 8-bit sections: Section 1 (1CLK, 1D1–1D8, 1Q1–1Q8, 1OE) and Section 2 (2CLK, 2D1–2D8, 2Q1–2Q8, 2OE). Each section operates independently - clocks, data, outputs, and output enables are fully separate - allowing concurrent 8-bit latching with distinct timing and control.
