Product details
Overview
SN74ALVTH16374VR 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 dual 8-bit sections, bus-hold on all data inputs, auto-3-state detection, and operates from –40°C to 85°C. It is used in high-speed I/O port buffering and TTL-to-CMOS level translation in industrial control backplanes.
For engineers reviewing the SN74ALVTH16374VR datasheet, SN74ALVTH16374VR pinout, SN74ALVTH16374VR application, or SN74ALVTH16374VR equivalent, key selection criteria include 3.3-V drive strength (–32/64 mA), 250-MHz max clock frequency at VCC = 3.3 V, bus-hold input stabilization, and TVSOP (DGV) 48-pin package compatibility with fine-pitch PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device implements two independent 8-bit positive-edge-triggered D-type flip-flop sections, each with dedicated output-enable (OE) control and shared clock (CLK). Its Advanced BiCMOS Technology (ABT) enables simultaneous 2.5-V/3.3-V operation while accepting 5-V-tolerant inputs - critical for legacy TTL interface bridging.
The flow-through pin architecture minimizes signal crosstalk, and distributed VCC/GND pins reduce high-speed switching noise. Bus-hold circuitry eliminates external pullup/pulldown resistors on data lines, and auto-3-state disables outputs when VO exceeds VCC + 0.5 V - preventing bus contention during hot-swap events.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.3 V to 3.6 V - supports both 2.5-V and 3.3-V system rails with 5-V input tolerance |
| Max Clock Frequency | 250 MHz at VCC = 3.3 V - enables high-throughput data latching in fast peripheral interfaces |
| Output Drive | –32 mA / +64 mA at VCC = 3.3 V - drives heavily loaded parallel buses without external buffers |
| Setup/Hold Times | tsu = 1.0 ns, th = 0.5 ns (data high, VCC = 3.3 V) - accommodates tight timing margins in synchronous designs |
| Propagation Delay | tPLH/tPHL ≤ 3.2 ns (CL = 50 pF, VCC = 3.3 V) - ensures deterministic inter-stage timing in pipeline registers |
| Bus-Hold Current | IBHL = 75 µA, IBHH = –75 µA at VCC = 3 V - actively holds floating inputs at valid logic levels without external components |
| Power-Up State | High-impedance outputs when VCC ≤ 1.2 V - prevents bus conflicts during power sequencing |
Pinout & Package
SN74ALVTH16374VR is housed in a 48-pin Thin Very Small-Outline Package (TVSOP, DGV), 3.6 mm × 9.7 mm body, 1.2 mm max height, 0.4 mm lead pitch, JEDEC MO-153 compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE, 2OE | Output-enable control (active-low) | Independent enable for each 8-bit section; does not affect internal latch 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 0–5.5 V input range regardless of VCC |
| 1Q1–1Q8, 2Q1–2Q8 | 3-state outputs | Auto-3-state activates when VO > VCC + 0.5 V; sink/source up to 64 mA |
| VCC (Pins 13, 25, 36, 48) | Supply voltage | Distributed power pins minimize simultaneous switching noise across 16-bit bus |
| GND (Pins 12, 14, 24, 26, 35, 37, 47) | Ground reference | Seven ground pins 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 connection 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 damage during overvoltage transients |
| Live insertion support | Outputs disable during power-off (VCC = 0); permits hot-plug capability in modular backplane systems |
| Flow-through pinout | Input-to-output signal path runs linearly across package - simplifies layer routing and reduces trace skew |
| Bus-hold on all data inputs | Eliminates need for external 10-kΩ pullup/down resistors on unused or unterminated data lines |
Applications
| Industrial Backplane I/O Buffering | Embedded Controller Peripheral Interface |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Isolating and latching parallel data between a 3.3-V microcontroller and legacy 5-V industrial I/O modules.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Functions as a double 8-bit output latch, holding display segment or LED driver data until next update cycle. Use Value: Provides high-drive (64 mA) outputs capable of directly sourcing/sinking LED loads without discrete drivers. |
| Telecom Line Card Data Capture | Automated Test Equipment (ATE) Pattern Generator |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Serves as a 16-bit edge-triggered input register, capturing synchronized alarm/status bits on rising CLK edge. Use Value: Bus-hold inputs prevent metastability on unterminated backplane stubs; low propagation delay (<3.2 ns) preserves setup/hold margins. | Use Scenario: Generating precise, repeatable 16-bit stimulus patterns for IC functional testing. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Configured as a 16-bit pattern register, clocked by ATE timing generator to deliver deterministic test vectors.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ALVCH16374VR | No bus-hold; lower drive (–24/24 mA at 3.3 V); no 5-V input tolerance | Suitable only in fully 3.3-V systems with terminated buses and external pullups | Select when cost reduction is prioritized over mixed-voltage robustness and bus stability |
| SN74LVC16374ADGGR | 3.3-V only (no 5-V tolerance); no auto-3-state; higher ICC (5 mA typical) | Requires external level shifters for TTL interfaces; lacks live-insertion safety | Prefer for new 3.3-V-only designs where TI ABT process advantages are unnecessary |
Compared with SN74ALVTH16374VR, SN74ALVCH16374VR sacrifices bus-hold and 5-V tolerance for lower static current, while SN74LVC16374ADGGR trades ABT noise immunity and auto-3-state for broader LVC family compatibility - making SN74ALVTH16374VR uniquely suited for legacy-system integration.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by SN74ALVTH16374VR?
SN74ALVTH16374VR supports a maximum clock frequency of 250 MHz when operated at VCC = 3.3 V with CL = 50 pF. At VCC = 2.5 V, the maximum frequency is 150 MHz. These values are specified under recommended operating conditions and assume proper signal integrity and load matching - exceeding them may result in setup/hold violations or metastability.
Does SN74ALVTH16374VR require external pullup or pulldown resistors on its data inputs?
No, SN74ALVTH16374VR does not require external pullup or pulldown resistors because it integrates bus-hold circuitry on all data inputs (1D1–1D8 and 2D1–2D8). This feature actively maintains valid logic levels on floating or unterminated inputs, eliminating the need for discrete resistors and reducing BOM count and board area.
Can SN74ALVTH16374VR interface directly with 5-V TTL logic?
Yes, SN74ALVTH16374VR supports direct interface with 5-V TTL logic: its inputs tolerate voltages up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC (2.3–3.6 V), and its outputs swing rail-to-rail within the VCC range. This allows seamless connection to legacy 5-V systems without external level-shifting components - a core design objective of the ALVTH family.
What happens to the outputs of SN74ALVTH16374VR during power-up or power-down?
During power-up or power-down, when VCC drops below or rises through 1.2 V, SN74ALVTH16374VR automatically places all outputs in a high-impedance state. This prevents bus conflicts and unintended driving during supply ramping. For guaranteed high-Z above 1.2 V, OE should be tied to VCC via a pullup resistor - minimum value determined by driver sink capability.
Is SN74ALVTH16374VR pin-compatible with other 48-pin 16-bit flip-flops like SN74ALVCH16374VR?
Yes, SN74ALVTH16374VR is pin-compatible with SN74ALVCH16374VR in the same TVSOP (DGV) 48-pin package: identical pin count, function mapping, and mechanical footprint. However, electrical behavior differs - SN74ALVTH16374VR adds bus-hold, 5-V input tolerance, and auto-3-state, so direct substitution requires validation of these features in the target application.
