Product details
Overview
SN74ALVTH16374DL from Texas Instruments is a 2.5-V/3.3-V 16-bit edge-triggered D-type flip-flop with 3-state outputs, designed for bidirectional bus interfacing in mixed-voltage systems. It features bus-hold circuitry on all data inputs, auto 3-state operation, and supports TTL-level inputs at 5 V while operating from 2.3 V to 3.6 V VCC - used in high-speed I/O port buffering and memory address latching.
For engineers reviewing the SN74ALVTH16374DL datasheet, SN74ALVTH16374DL pinout, SN74ALVTH16374DL application, or SN74ALVTH16374DL equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3.3-V/2.5-V dual-supply compatibility, 24/32-mA drive strength at 3.3 V, 250-MHz max clock frequency, bus-hold input retention, and SSOP-48 (DL) package thermal performance.
Technical Context
This device implements two independent 8-bit edge-triggered D-flip-flop sections, each with separate clock (CLK) and output-enable (OE) controls. Data is latched on the positive transition of CLK, and outputs enter high-impedance state when OE is high - enabling live insertion and bus contention avoidance.
It uses Advanced BiCMOS Technology (ABT) with distributed VCC/GND pins to minimize switching noise, and integrates bus-hold circuitry eliminating external pullup/pulldown resistors. Power-off output disable and <1.2-V power-up/down high-impedance behavior ensure safe hot-swap operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.3 V to 3.6 V - enables interoperability between 2.5-V and 3.3-V logic domains and tolerance to supply ripple. |
| Max Clock Frequency | 250 MHz at VCC = 3.3 V - supports high-throughput data capture in modern digital interfaces. |
| Output Drive | –32 mA / +64 mA at 3.3 V - drives heavy capacitive loads and long PCB traces without external buffers. |
| Bus-Hold Current | ±75 µA at VI = 0.8 V / 2.0 V - maintains valid logic states on floating inputs without external resistors. |
| Propagation Delay | tPLH/tPHL ≤ 3.4 ns (CL = 50 pF, VCC = 3.3 V) - ensures tight timing margins in synchronous bus designs. |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | VI up to 5.5 V - allows direct connection to 5-V TTL buses without level-shifting components. |
| Power-Up Behavior | High-impedance state when VCC ≤ 1.2 V - prevents bus conflicts during power sequencing. |
Pinout & Package
SN74ALVTH16374DL is housed in a 48-pin Shrink Small-Outline Package (SSOP-DL), 0.5-mm pitch, 12.6 mm × 6.2 mm body size, JEDEC MO-153 compliant, with exposed thermal pad not present and standard plastic molding compound.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE, 2OE | Output enable (active low) | Independent control per 8-bit section; asserts high-impedance output regardless of CLK/D state. |
| 1CLK, 2CLK | Clock input (positive edge) | Edge-triggered sampling of D inputs; asynchronous reset not supported. |
| 1D1–1D8, 2D1–2D8 | Data inputs | All feature integrated bus-hold; tolerate 5-V inputs while powered from 2.5/3.3 V. |
| 1Q1–1Q8, 2Q1–2Q8 | 3-state outputs | Auto 3-state activates when VO > VCC + 0.5 V; eliminates bus loading during overvoltage events. |
| VCC (Pins 13, 14, 25, 26, 37, 38) | Supply voltage | Distributed VCC pins reduce simultaneous switching noise and improve PDN stability. |
| GND (Pins 7, 8, 19, 20, 31, 32) | Ground reference | Multiple GND pins paired with VCC provide low-inductance return paths for high-speed switching. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Mixed-mode signal operation | 5-V-tolerant inputs with 2.3–3.6-V VCC enables direct interface to legacy TTL buses without level shifters. |
| Auto 3-state output protection | Outputs automatically enter high-Z when VO exceeds VCC + 0.5 V - prevents latch-up and current backflow during overvoltage transients. |
| Bus-hold on all data inputs | Eliminates need for external 10-kΩ pullup/pulldown resistors, reducing BOM count and board area in sparse-bus applications. |
| Live insertion support | Outputs disabled when VCC = 0; high-impedance during power-up/down prevents bus conflicts in hot-plug systems. |
| Flow-through pin architecture | Input-to-output signal path crosses package diagonally - simplifies layer routing and reduces crosstalk in dense PCB layouts. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit D-type flip-flop applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ALVCH16374DL | No bus-hold circuitry; lower drive (–24/+24 mA at 3.3 V); no 5-V input tolerance. | Suitable only in fully driven, non-floating bus environments with strict 3.3-V signaling. | Select when cost reduction is critical and external pullups or guaranteed signal presence is assured. |
| SN74LVC16374ADGGR | 3.3-V only (no 2.5-V min), no 5-V input tolerance, higher ICC (5 mA typical), no auto 3-state. | Requires level shifters for 5-V interfaces; lacks overvoltage fault protection on outputs. | Prefer for new 3.3-V-only designs where TI ABT process advantages (noise immunity, bus-hold) are not required. |
Compared with SN74ALVCH16374DL and SN74LVC16374ADGGR, SN74ALVTH16374DL uniquely combines 5-V-tolerant inputs, bus-hold, auto 3-state, and dual-voltage operation - making it irreplaceable in mixed-signal industrial and automotive backplane applications requiring robustness and design margin.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by SN74ALVTH16374DL?
SN74ALVTH16374DL supports a maximum clock frequency of 250 MHz when operated at VCC = 3.3 V ± 0.3 V with CL = 50 pF load. At 2.5 V, the rated maximum is 150 MHz. These values are specified across the full operating temperature range (–40°C to 85°C) and assume proper signal integrity and decoupling.
Does SN74ALVTH16374DL require external pullup or pulldown resistors on its data inputs?
No. SN74ALVTH16374DL integrates bus-hold circuitry on all 16 data inputs (1D1–1D8, 2D1–2D8), which actively maintains the last-valid logic state when inputs float. This eliminates the need for external pullup or pulldown resistors, reducing BOM cost and PCB area - confirmed in TI's SCES068G datasheet Section 6.2.
Can SN74ALVTH16374DL safely interface with 5-V TTL logic while powered from 3.3 V?
Yes. SN74ALVTH16374DL accepts input voltages up to 5.5 V on all data and control pins while operating from VCC = 2.3 V to 3.6 V. Its 5-V-tolerant inputs allow direct connection to legacy TTL buses without level shifters - a core feature documented in the "Mixed-Mode Signal Operation" section of the datasheet.
What happens to the outputs of SN74ALVTH16374DL during power-up or power-down?
When VCC drops below or rises through 1.2 V, SN74ALVTH16374DL automatically places all outputs in high-impedance state - preventing bus conflicts during power sequencing. This behavior is guaranteed independent of OE pin state and is verified per JESD78 latch-up and I/O stress testing.
Is SN74ALVTH16374DL pin-compatible with other 48-pin 16-bit flip-flops like SN74ALVCH16374DL?
Yes - SN74ALVTH16374DL shares identical pinout, package (SSOP-DL), and terminal assignment with SN74ALVCH16374DL and SN74LVC16374A. However, functional differences exist: SN74ALVTH16374DL adds bus-hold, 5-V input tolerance, and auto 3-state, while others do not. PCB layout reuse is possible, but firmware and signal integrity validation must account for these distinctions.
