Product details
Overview
SN74ALVCH374PW 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 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 SN74ALVCH374PW datasheet, SN74ALVCH374PW pinout, SN74ALVCH374PW application, or SN74ALVCH374PW equivalent, key selection criteria include its TSSOP-20 package, 3-state output control via OE, edge-triggered latch behavior, and compatibility with mixed-voltage I/O interfaces in compact PCB layouts.
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.
The buffered OE input controls all eight outputs simultaneously, placing them in high-impedance (Z) state without affecting internal latch operation - enabling concurrent data retention or update while outputs are disabled. Output drive strength scales with VCC, delivering ±24 mA at 3.0 V and maintaining logic-level compatibility across 1.65–3.6 V supply range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.65 V to 3.6 V - supports mixed-voltage system interfacing and low-power operation |
| Max Propagation Delay (tpd) | 3.6 ns at 3.3 V - enables >150 MHz clock operation in high-speed data paths |
| Output Drive Strength | ±24 mA at 3.0 V - drives heavy capacitive loads or multiple CMOS inputs without buffers |
| Bus-Hold Current | ±25 µA to ±75 µA depending on VCC - maintains valid logic state on floating D inputs, removing need for external resistors |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded and communications equipment |
| Input/Output Capacitance | Ci = 5 pF (control), Ci = 6 pF (data), Co = 7.5 pF - minimizes signal distortion and timing skew in dense routing |
| ESD Protection | 2000-V HBM, 200-V MM, 1000-V CDM - meets robustness requirements for handling and board-level reliability |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-20 package (PW), 6.6 mm × 4.4 mm footprint, 1.2 mm max height, 0.65 mm lead pitch, RoHS-compliant NiPdAu finish, MSL Level-1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OE (Output Enable) | Active-low control for all eight 3-state outputs; high-impedance when high, normal logic levels when low |
| 2–9 | 1Q–8Q (Outputs) | Octal registered outputs; reflect D-input states sampled on CLK↑; tri-stated when OE = high |
| 10 | GND | Ground reference for all internal circuitry and I/O |
| 11 | VCC | Primary power supply (1.65–3.6 V); powers logic core and output drivers |
| 12–19 | 1D–8D (Data Inputs) | Eight asynchronous data inputs with integrated bus-hold; retain last valid state when un-driven |
| 20 | CLK | Global positive-edge clock input; triggers simultaneous capture of all eight D inputs into respective Q outputs |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide Supply Range | 1.65 V to 3.6 V operation enables direct interface with 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V logic domains |
| High-Speed Performance | 3.6 ns tpd at 3.3 V supports >150 MHz clock rates in synchronous data acquisition and buffering |
| Integrated Bus-Hold | Eliminates external pullup/pulldown resistors on all eight D inputs, reducing BOM count and PCB area |
| Robust 3-State Control | OE input remains functional during power-up/down; tying OE to VCC via pullup ensures safe high-Z state at startup |
| Latch-Up Immunity | Exceeds 100 mA per JESD 78 Class II - prevents destructive latch-up under transient overvoltage conditions |

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 drive (±24 mA only at 3.3 V), no bus-hold, identical TSSOP-20 package | Requires external pullups on unused D inputs; suitable where board space permits discrete biasing | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs bus-hold convenience and layout simplification |
| 74AVC374PW | Higher speed (2.4 ns tpd at 3.3 V), same VCC range, no bus-hold, identical pinout | Demands stricter signal integrity controls due to faster edges; lacks input state retention on float | Choose for maximum throughput in noise-controlled environments where bus-hold is unnecessary |
Compared with SN74ALVCH374PW, SN74LVC374APW removes bus-hold to reduce complexity and cost but increases BOM and layout effort, while 74AVC374PW trades input robustness for higher clock rates - making SN74ALVCH374PW optimal for industrial designs prioritizing reliability, ease of use, and mixed-voltage interoperability.

FAQ
What is the recommended power-up sequence for SN74ALVCH374PW?
TI recommends tying OE to VCC through a pullup resistor during power-up to ensure outputs remain in high-impedance state until system initialization completes. The minimum resistor value depends on the driver's current-sinking capability; typical values range from 4.7 kΩ to 10 kΩ. This prevents bus contention and ensures deterministic behavior before firmware configures the device. SN74ALVCH374PW does not require specific VCC ramp rate or sequencing with other rails.
Does SN74ALVCH374PW support hot insertion?
SN74ALVCH374PW is not explicitly rated for hot insertion per JEDEC standards. Its absolute maximum ratings allow VI and VO up to –0.5 V and VCC + 0.5 V, and it features robust ESD protection (2000-V HBM), but the absence of powered-off protection circuitry means back-driving outputs while VCC is unpowered may violate absolute max limits. For hot-swap applications, external protection or sequencing circuitry is required. SN74ALVCH374PW should be powered before applying signals.
How does bus-hold functionality behave on SN74ALVCH374PW during power-down?
Bus-hold circuitry in SN74ALVCH374PW remains active as long as VCC is above ~0.8 V and ceases operation below that threshold. During controlled power-down, it retains the last valid logic state on each D input until VCC drops below the hold threshold, preventing metastability or undefined sampling at clock edges near shutdown. However, once VCC falls further, inputs float freely. SN74ALVCH374PW does not guarantee bus-hold behavior below 0.8 V.
Can SN74ALVCH374PW drive a 50-pF load at 150 MHz?
Yes - SN74ALVCH374PW specifies fmax = 150 MHz at VCC = 3.3 V with CL = 50 pF (per switching characteristics table). Its 3.6 ns tpd and ±24 mA drive strength ensure clean edge transitions into 50-pF loads at that frequency. Layout best practices - short traces, proper grounding, and decoupling near VCC/GND pins - are essential to maintain signal integrity. SN74ALVCH374PW performance is validated under these exact test conditions.
Is SN74ALVCH374PW pin-compatible with SN74ALVCH374PWR?
Yes - SN74ALVCH374PW and SN74ALVCH374PWR share identical TSSOP-20 (PW) package, pinout, electrical specifications, and thermal characteristics. The only difference is packaging format: SN74ALVCH374PW ships in tubes (70 units), while SN74ALVCH374PWR uses tape-and-reel (2000 units). Both have identical top-side marking "VB374" and MSL Level-1 rating. SN74ALVCH374PW and SN74ALVCH374PWR are functionally and mechanically interchangeable.
