Product details
Overview
SN74AS374DWR from Texas Instruments is an octal D-type edge-triggered flip-flop with 3-state outputs, designed for high-speed bus interfacing in digital systems. It operates at up to 125 MHz clock frequency, delivers ±48 mA output drive, and features independent output-enable control for bidirectional bus management in industrial control and data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the SN74AS374DWR datasheet, SN74AS374DWR pinout, SN74AS374DWR application, or SN74AS374DWR equivalent, this page provides verified timing parameters (tPLH = 3 ns, tPHL = 4 ns), absolute maximum ratings (VCC = –0.5 V to 7 V), thermal impedance (θJA = 58°C/W), and confirmed SOIC-20 DW package compatibility.
Technical Context
This device implements eight independent D-type latches triggered on the positive clock edge, with asynchronous 3-state output control via OE. Internal buffering isolates OE and CLK inputs from bus loading effects while preserving setup/hold timing integrity (tsu = 2 ns, th = 2 ns).
Each channel supports true logic-level outputs (no inversion), retains state during OE assertion, and drives capacitive loads without external pull-ups. The architecture enables parallel data capture and controlled bus release-critical for register file expansion and bidirectional data exchange circuits.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
SN74AS374DWR uses a 20-pin SOIC (DW) package with 0.300-inch body width, 1.27 mm lead pitch, and 2.65 mm max height. Pin 1 is located at the top-left corner of the top view, identified by a beveled edge or dot marking.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal D-type latch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ALS374ADWR | ALS family: lower speed (35 MHz), reduced drive (24 mA), higher tPLH/tPHL (12–17 ns) | Suitable for cost-sensitive, lower-frequency designs where timing margin is relaxed | Select if system clock ≤ 35 MHz and power consumption must be minimized (ICC = 20–31 mA vs. 77–128 mA) |
| SN74F374N | F-family: 100 MHz max, 20 mA drive, PDIP-20 only, no SOIC option | Requires through-hole assembly; lacks DW package for SMT production | Choose only for legacy through-hole boards needing F-series compatibility; not drop-in for SN74AS374DWR footprint |
Compared with SN74ALS374ADWR and SN74F374N, SN74AS374DWR provides the highest clock rate and output current in SOIC-20, making it optimal for space-constrained, high-speed digital interfaces where timing precision and drive strength are prioritized over static power.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by SN74AS374DWR?
The SN74AS374DWR supports a maximum clock frequency of 125 MHz under recommended operating conditions (VCC = 4.5 V to 5.5 V, TA = 0°C to 70°C). This rating is validated per TI's SDAS167C datasheet and applies specifically to the SN74AS374 variant in SOIC-DW packaging. The SN74AS374DWR achieves this performance using Advanced Schottky technology with optimized internal propagation paths.
Does SN74AS374DWR require external pull-up resistors on its 3-state outputs?
No, SN74AS374DWR does not require external pull-up resistors on its 3-state outputs. Its buffered 3-state architecture provides sufficient drive strength (IOL = 48 mA, IOH = –15 mA) and high-impedance isolation (IOZL/IOZH ≤ ±50 µA) to interface directly with bus lines. The device's output structure eliminates the need for external termination in standard 5 V TTL/CMOS bus environments.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of SN74AS374DWR in its SOIC-DW package?
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of SN74AS374DWR in the SOIC-DW package is 58°C/W, as specified in the TI SDAS167C datasheet. This value assumes standard JEDEC 2-layer board conditions and confirms the device's suitability for continuous operation at full speed without additional heatsinking in typical industrial PCB layouts.
Can SN74AS374DWR operate with a 3.3 V supply voltage?
No, SN74AS374DWR is not rated for 3.3 V operation. Its recommended supply voltage range is strictly 4.5 V to 5.5 V, and absolute maximum VCC is 7 V. Operation below 4.5 V may result in undefined logic states, increased propagation delay, or failure to meet timing specifications. For 3.3 V systems, consider TI's LVC or AUC logic families instead of SN74AS374DWR.
How does the output-enable (OE) function interact with internal latch behavior in SN74AS374DWR?
In SN74AS374DWR, the OE input affects only the output drivers-not the internal flip-flop states. When OE is asserted (high), all Q outputs enter high-impedance mode while retaining their last registered values. New data can still be loaded on subsequent CLK↑ transitions, and old data remains valid, enabling seamless bus arbitration without disrupting internal register integrity.
