Product details
Overview
SN74AS874DW from Texas Instruments is a dual 4-bit D-type edge-triggered flip-flop with noninverting 3-state outputs, designed as a bus-oriented register driver. It operates at 5 V, supports 125 MHz clock frequency, delivers ±48 mA output drive, and features asynchronous clear (CLR) and output enable (OE) for bidirectional bus control in industrial digital systems.
For engineers reviewing the SN74AS874DW datasheet, SN74AS874DW pinout, SN74AS874DW application, or SN74AS874DW equivalent, this page provides verified functional identity, bus-structured pin mapping, timing-critical parameters (tPLH/tPHL < 8.5 ns), 3-state drive capability, and direct alternatives for legacy TTL bus interface upgrades.
Technical Context
The SN74AS874DW implements two independent 4-bit D-type registers, each triggered on the low-to-high CLK transition. Each register includes dedicated asynchronous CLR and OE inputs, enabling independent reset and bus isolation per 4-bit lane.
Its 3-state outputs support high-drive bus loading (IOL = 48 mA, IOH = −15 mA) with fast enable/disable times (tPHZ ≤ 6 ns, tPLZ ≤ 7.5 ns), and it complies with standard TTL input thresholds (VIH = 2 V, VIL = 0.8 V) while operating across 0°C to 70°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Type | Dual 4-bit edge-triggered D flip-flop with noninverting 3-state outputs |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - compatible with standard 5 V TTL/CMOS systems |
| Max Clock Frequency | 125 MHz - enables high-speed synchronous data latching in bus interfaces |
| Output Drive | 48 mA sink / −15 mA source - drives heavy capacitive bus loads without external buffers |

| Enable/Disable Time | tPHZ ≤ 6 ns, tPLZ ≤ 7.5 ns (OE to Q) - minimizes bus contention windows during direction switching |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to 70°C - qualified for commercial and industrial embedded control environments |
Pinout & Package
SN74AS874DW uses a 24-pin SOIC (DW) package with bus-structured pinout optimized for PCB layout efficiency in parallel data paths. Pin numbering follows JEDEC MS-013, with dual 4-bit lanes symmetrically arranged around power/ground and control pins.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus-register applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ALS874BDW | Slower max clock (30 MHz), lower drive (24 mA sink), higher propagation delay (tPLH ≤ 14 ns) | Suitable for legacy 8–10 MHz bus systems where power and noise immunity outweigh speed needs | Select when replacing aging ALS parts in cost-sensitive, low-frequency industrial controllers |
| SN74F874N | Same 24-pin PDIP package, 100 MHz max clock, 20 mA output drive, no RoHS compliance | Used in through-hole prototyping or repair of vintage F-series systems; lacks DW package compatibility | Choose only for hand-soldered evaluation or legacy board rework where SOIC footprint is unavailable |
Compared with SN74ALS874BDW and SN74F874N, the SN74AS874DW delivers 4× higher clock rate and 2× stronger output drive in a RoHS-compliant SOIC package - making it the optimal choice for upgrading performance-limited bus interfaces without changing PCB layout.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the SN74AS874DW?
The SN74AS874DW is a dual 4-bit D-type edge-triggered flip-flop with noninverting 3-state outputs, designed specifically as a high-speed bus register driver. Its core function is to latch parallel data on the rising edge of CLK while providing independent asynchronous clear (CLR) and output enable (OE) per register lane - enabling precise timing control and bus isolation in industrial digital systems. The SN74AS874DW supports 125 MHz operation and 48 mA output drive.
Does the SN74AS874DW support true or inverted outputs?
The SN74AS874DW provides true (noninverting) Q outputs, as confirmed by its device designation and functional description in the SDAS061C datasheet. This distinguishes it from the SN74AS876 variant, which offers inverting outputs. The SN74AS874DW's noninverting behavior preserves data polarity across the register stage, eliminating the need for external inverters in most bus-holding applications.
What package type is used for the SN74AS874DW?
The SN74AS874DW is supplied in a 24-pin SOIC (DW) package, per TI's packaging addendum and mechanical drawing MCER004A. This surface-mount package has a 300-mil body width, gull-wing leads, and is RoHS-compliant with NIPDAU lead finish and MSL Level-1 rating. The DW package matches the pinout of the obsolete SN74ALS874BDW, enabling drop-in replacement in existing SOIC footprints.
Can the SN74AS874DW be used in place of SN74ALS874BDW?
Yes - the SN74AS874DW is a direct speed- and drive-enhanced replacement for SN74ALS874BDW in the same DW package, sharing identical pinout, voltage ratings, and logic functionality. Key improvements include 4× higher clock frequency (125 MHz vs. 30 MHz), 2× stronger output drive (48 mA vs. 24 mA), and faster propagation delays (≤8.5 ns vs. ≤14 ns). The SN74AS874DW maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility for drop-in upgrades.
What are the absolute maximum ratings for the SN74AS874DW?
The SN74AS874DW has an absolute maximum supply voltage of 7 V, input voltage limit of 7 V, and operating free-air temperature range of 0°C to 70°C. Storage temperature is rated from −65°C to 150°C. Exceeding these limits may cause permanent damage. These stress ratings do not imply functional operation beyond recommended conditions (VCC = 4.5–5.5 V, TA = 0–70°C), and prolonged exposure to absolute maximums can degrade reliability. The SN74AS874DW must be operated within its recommended conditions for guaranteed performance.
