Product details
Overview
SN74ALVCH374DWRG4 from Texas Instruments is an octal positive-edge-triggered D-type flip-flop with 3-state outputs, designed for 1.65 V to 3.6 V operation. It features ±24-mA output drive at 3.3 V, 3.6 ns max propagation delay, bus-hold circuitry on data inputs, and operates across –40°C to 85°C. It serves as a buffer register or bidirectional bus driver in low-voltage digital systems.
For engineers reviewing the SN74ALVCH374DWRG4 datasheet, SN74ALVCH374DWRG4 pinout, SN74ALVCH374DWRG4 application, or SN74ALVCH374DWRG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 20-pin TSSOP package, 3-state output control via OE, edge-triggered latch behavior, and compatibility with mixed-voltage I/O interfaces in industrial and embedded control designs.
Technical Context
This device implements eight independent D-type latches synchronized to the rising edge of CLK, with each Q output reflecting the corresponding D input state at clock transition. Internal bus-hold circuitry eliminates external pullup/pulldown resistors on all eight data inputs, reducing BOM count and layout complexity.
The buffered OE input controls all eight outputs simultaneously, placing them in high-impedance (Z) state without affecting internal latch operation-enabling data retention or new sampling while outputs are disabled. Output drive strength scales with VCC, delivering ±24 mA at 3.0 V and maintaining logic integrity down to 1.65 V supply.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 1.65 V to 3.6 V - supports mixed-voltage system interfacing and battery-powered 1.8 V/2.5 V/3.3 V domains |
| tpd (max) | 3.6 ns at 3.3 V - enables reliable operation in high-speed digital control loops up to 150 MHz clock frequency |
| Output Drive | ±24 mA at 3.0 V - drives standard CMOS loads and short PCB traces without external buffers |
| Bus-Hold | Integrated on all D inputs - prevents floating inputs and eliminates need for 10-kΩ pullup/pulldown resistors |
| tSU / tH | 2.1 ns / 0.5 ns at 3.3 V - tight timing margins allow use with fast microcontroller GPIO or FPGA I/O |
| Ioff Current | ±10 µA at 3.6 V - ensures minimal leakage during power-down or hot-swap conditions |
| ESD Rating | 2000-V HBM - meets industrial IEC 61000-4-2 level for robust board-level ESD immunity |

| 12–19 | 1Q–8Q | Registered outputs; reflect D-input states sampled on rising CLK edge |
| 20 | CLK | Global clock input; positive-edge sensitive; synchronizes all eight latches |
Key Features

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC374APWR | Lower drive (±24 mA only at 3.3 V), no bus-hold, identical 20-pin TSSOP package | Requires external pullups on unused D inputs; suitable where board space permits discrete biasing | Choose when cost sensitivity outweighs bus-hold convenience and system-level noise immunity is managed elsewhere |
| 74AVC374PW | Wider VCC range (1.2–3.6 V), higher speed (2.1 ns tpd), same pinout but different marking and thermal specs | Better suited for ultra-low-voltage 1.2 V/1.5 V domains; requires revalidation of power sequencing and timing margins | Prefer for next-gen 1.2 V systems where maximum speed and lowest voltage operation are critical |
Compared with SN74ALVCH374DWRG4, SN74LVC374APWR lacks bus-hold and increases design overhead for input biasing, while 74AVC374PW extends voltage range downward but introduces tighter power-supply sequencing constraints and higher thermal impedance in TSSOP.

FAQ
What is the recommended operating voltage range for SN74ALVCH374DWRG4?
The SN74ALVCH374DWRG4 operates reliably from 1.65 V to 3.6 V. This wide supply range allows seamless integration between 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V logic domains without level shifters. Operation outside this range may cause functional failure or permanent damage, as confirmed by TI's absolute maximum ratings table specifying –0.5 V to 4.6 V as non-operational stress limits.
Does SN74ALVCH374DWRG4 require external pullup resistors on its data inputs?
No, SN74ALVCH374DWRG4 does not require external pullup or pulldown resistors on its D inputs due to integrated bus-hold circuitry. This feature actively maintains valid logic levels on unused or undriven inputs, eliminating floating states. TI explicitly warns against combining external resistors with bus-hold, as it may degrade noise margin or increase power consumption.
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by SN74ALVCH374DWRG4 at 3.3 V?
At 3.3 V, SN74ALVCH374DWRG4 supports a maximum clock frequency of 150 MHz, as specified in the switching characteristics table under fmax. This is enabled by its 3.6 ns maximum propagation delay and tight 2.1 ns setup / 0.5 ns hold timing requirements. Performance degrades at lower VCC: 100 MHz at 1.8 V and 2.5 V per the same datasheet table.
How does the OE pin function during power-up sequences?
The OE pin of SN74ALVCH374DWRG4 must be tied to VCC through a pullup resistor during power-up to ensure outputs remain in high-impedance state until system control is established. TI specifies minimum pullup resistance based on driver sink capability; failure to do so risks bus contention or undefined logic states. OE has no effect on internal latch operation-data can be clocked regardless of OE state.
Is SN74ALVCH374DWRG4 compatible with JEDEC-standard PCB footprints for TSSOP-20 packages?
Yes, SN74ALVCH374DWRG4 uses the standard TSSOP-20 (PW) package per JEDEC MO-153, with 0.65 mm lead pitch and 6.95 mm × 4.4 mm body dimensions. TI provides verified land patterns, stencil designs, and solder paste recommendations aligned with IPC-7351. The device has no exposed thermal pad, simplifying thermal relief design compared to thermally enhanced variants.
