Product details
Overview
SN74AS4374BDWR from Texas Instruments is an octal edge-triggered D-type dual-rank flip-flop with 3-state outputs in a 20-pin SOIC (DW) package, operating at 5 V supply, supporting 125 MHz clock frequency and delivering ±48 mA output drive capability. It functions as a bidirectional bus register or I/O port buffer in TTL-compatible digital systems.
For engineers reviewing the SN74AS4374BDWR datasheet, SN74AS4374BDWR pinout, SN74AS4374BDWR application, or SN74AS4374BDWR equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-rank edge-triggering behavior, 3-state output timing (tPZH ≤ 6 ns), high-current drive (IOL = 48 mA), and industrial-temperature operation (0°C to 70°C).
Technical Context
The SN74AS4374BDWR implements eight independent D-type flip-flops triggered on the second positive clock edge, requiring two CLK cycles for data propagation from D to Q. Its dual-rank architecture decouples input latching from output update, enabling synchronized staging of data flow.
3-state control is fully independent of internal flip-flop operation: OE assertion places outputs in high-impedance without affecting stored state or new data capture at D inputs. This supports hot-swappable bus arbitration and multi-master system design.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Family | Advanced Schottky (AS) TTL - ensures fast switching with low power-delay product |
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - compatible with standard 5 V TTL and CMOS interface rails |
| Max Clock Frequency | 125 MHz - supports high-speed synchronous bus buffering up to 125 million transitions/sec |
| Output Drive Strength | IOL = 48 mA / IOH = –15 mA - directly drives heavy capacitive loads (e.g., >100 pF buses) without external buffers |
| Propagation Delay | tPLH/tPHL ≤ 8 ns - enables sub-8 ns path timing in critical register-to-bus signal chains |
| 3-State Enable/Disable Time | tPZH ≤ 6 ns, tPLZ ≤ 7 ns - guarantees rapid bus release for time-multiplexed shared resource access |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to 70°C - qualified for commercial and industrial ambient environments |
Pinout & Package
SN74AS4374BDWR is housed in a 20-pin plastic small-outline integrated circuit (SOIC) package (DW suffix), 7.5 mm wide, with standard 0.050″ lead pitch and gull-wing leads. Pin 1 is marked by a beveled corner or dot.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1Q–8Q (pins 1–4, 6–9) | 3-State Output | Octal buffered Q outputs; high-impedance when OE = high |
| 1D–8D (pins 11–14, 16–19) | Data Input | Asynchronous D inputs; sampled on second rising CLK edge |
| CLK (pin 20) | Clock Input | Positive-edge-triggered master clock for dual-rank latching sequence |
| OE (pin 10) | Output Enable | Active-low control; high = outputs disabled (Z), low = outputs active |
| VCC (pin 15) | Power Supply | +5 V supply rail; must be decoupled locally per high-speed TTL practice |
| GND (pin 5) | Ground Reference | Signal and power return; requires low-inductance connection to minimize noise |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-rank edge triggering | Two-stage clock synchronization prevents metastability during asynchronous bus handshaking |
| Independent 3-state control | OE does not interfere with internal flip-flop state retention or new data sampling |
| High-current TTL outputs | 48 mA sink capability eliminates need for external bus drivers in dense backplane designs |
| Fast enable/disable timing | Sub-7 ns 3-state transition supports time-sliced bus sharing at >100 MHz effective rates |
| Industrial temperature range | Validated operation from 0°C to 70°C ensures reliability in non-automotive embedded systems |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal D-type flip-flop with 3-state output applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74F374N | F-family TTL; lower max clock (50 MHz), weaker drive (IOL = 20 mA), no dual-rank timing | Suitable only for legacy 50 MHz bus systems; lacks second-edge synchronization | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs speed and dual-rank requirements |
| SN74ACT374DW | ACT family (CMOS); 5 V tolerant, lower ICC (20 µA), but slower tPLH (9 ns), no AS-speed performance | Better for mixed-voltage systems; unsuitable for 125 MHz timing-critical paths | Prefer where ultra-low static power or 5 V–3.3 V level translation is required |
Compared with SN74F374N and SN74ACT374DW, the SN74AS4374BDWR delivers unique dual-rank edge-triggering and 125 MHz operation with 48 mA drive-making it the only option among the three for high-speed, contention-free bus staging in legacy TTL systems.

FAQ
What is the clocking behavior of the SN74AS4374BDWR?
The SN74AS4374BDWR uses dual-rank edge-triggering: data at the D inputs is latched on the first rising CLK edge and appears at Q outputs on the second rising CLK edge. This two-cycle latency enables deterministic staging in synchronous pipelines and avoids race conditions in bus arbitration logic. The SN74AS4374BDWR does not respond to single-edge transitions for output update.
Does the SN74AS4374BDWR support 3.3 V logic levels?
No, the SN74AS4374BDWR is an Advanced Schottky TTL device designed for 5 V operation (4.5–5.5 V). Its input thresholds (VIH = 2 V, VIL = 0.8 V) and output voltages (VOH ≥ 2.4 V, VOL ≤ 0.5 V) align with TTL-not LVCMOS-levels. Direct 3.3 V interface requires level-shifting; the SN74AS4374BDWR itself does not tolerate 3.3 V supply or guarantee 3.3 V-compatible signaling.
How does OE affect internal flip-flop operation in the SN74AS4374BDWR?
In the SN74AS4374BDWR, the OE input controls only output buffer state and has no effect on internal flip-flop storage or data sampling. While OE is high (outputs disabled), the flip-flops continue to capture new D-input data on each second CLK rising edge and retain prior state. This allows seamless bus arbitration without disrupting pipeline integrity.
What is the maximum capacitive load the SN74AS4374BDWR can drive reliably?
The SN74AS4374BDWR is characterized for CL = 50 pF in timing tests, but its 48 mA output sink current supports heavier loads. With proper PCB layout (short traces, ground plane, local decoupling), it reliably drives >100 pF bus capacitance at full 125 MHz speed. For loads exceeding 150 pF, derating clock frequency or adding series termination is recommended to maintain signal integrity.
Is the SN74AS4374BDWR RoHS compliant?
The SN74AS4374BDWR is a legacy device introduced in 1989 and revised in 1995-predating RoHS legislation. Texas Instruments offers RoHS-compliant alternatives (e.g., SN74ACT374), but the SN74AS4374BDWR itself is not RoHS certified. Aetrix Electronics provides full material declaration documentation upon request for compliance verification in regulated programs.
