Product details
Overview
SN74F374DWR from Texas Instruments is an 8-bit edge-triggered D-type flip-flop IC with 3-state bus-driver outputs, designed for high-capacitance or low-impedance bus interfacing. It features positive-edge clock triggering, buffered output enable (OE), full parallel data loading, and operates from 4.5 V to 5.5 V at 0°C to 70°C - ideal for I/O port buffering and bidirectional data bus control in legacy industrial control systems.
For engineers reviewing the SN74F374DWR datasheet, SN74F374DWR pinout, SN74F374DWR application, or SN74F374DWR equivalent, key selection considerations include its 20-pin SOIC (DW) package, 70 MHz max clock frequency, 3.2 ns CLK-to-Q propagation delay, high-impedance output state control via OE, and compatibility with TTL-level logic families in legacy board designs.
Technical Context
The SN74F374DWR implements eight independent D-type flip-flops synchronized to the rising edge of CLK, with each Q output latching the corresponding D input value at clock transition. Its 3-state outputs are controlled solely by OE - internal flip-flop operation continues regardless of OE state, enabling data retention or update during bus isolation.
Designed for F-series TTL logic, it delivers ±24 mA low-level output drive and supports 50 pF capacitive loads with guaranteed timing across temperature. The buffered OE and CLK inputs reduce fanout constraints and improve noise immunity compared to unbuffered variants, making it suitable for direct connection to microprocessor data buses without additional level-shifting or pull-up components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Family | F-series TTL - ensures compatibility with legacy 5 V TTL systems and predictable voltage thresholds (VIH = 2 V, VIL = 0.8 V). |
| Max Clock Frequency | 70 MHz - supports high-speed data latching in real-time control and instrumentation interfaces. |
| CLK-to-Q Propagation Delay | 3.2 ns (min) to 10 ns (max) - enables tight timing margins in synchronous bus architectures. |
| Output Drive Capability | 24 mA sink current - sufficient to drive multiple TTL inputs or moderate PCB traces without external buffers. |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to 70°C - qualified for commercial/industrial ambient environments, not extended or automotive grade. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - stable operation within standard 5 V ±10% power rails common in legacy systems. |
| Input Capacitance | Typical 4 pF per input - minimizes loading on upstream drivers and preserves signal integrity. |
Pinout & Package
SN74F374DWR is housed in a 20-pin SOIC (DW) package measuring 12.8 mm × 7.5 mm × 2.65 mm, with 1.27 mm lead pitch and RoHS-compliant NiPdAu lead finish. It is supplied in tape-and-reel format (2000 pcs/reel) with MSL Level-1 rating.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 | Data Inputs (D1–D8) | Asynchronous parallel data inputs; sampled on rising CLK edge and latched to respective Q outputs. |
| 9 | GND | Power ground reference for all internal circuitry and output drivers. |
| 10 | CLK | Positive-edge-triggered clock input; controls simultaneous latching of all eight D inputs. |
| 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 | Q Outputs (Q1–Q8) | True (non-inverted) latched outputs; placed in high-impedance state when OE is high. |
| 20 | VCC | Positive supply terminal (4.5–5.5 V); powers all logic and output stages. |
| 12 | OE | Active-low output enable; when high, forces all Q outputs into high-Z state without affecting internal latch state. |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 8-bit D-type latch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LS374N | Lower speed (50 MHz max), higher propagation delay (15–25 ns), reduced drive (8 mA), but lower ICC (19 mA vs 55 mA typical). | Better suited for low-power, cost-sensitive designs where timing margins are relaxed and bus capacitance is minimal. | Select SN74LS374N only if system clock < 30 MHz and power budget is constrained; avoid for high-speed or heavy-load buses. |
| SN74ACT374DW | CMOS technology, 5 V tolerant, 100 MHz max clock, 3-state outputs, but requires 4.5–5.5 V supply and has different input thresholds (VIH = 3.5 V). | Compatible with mixed-voltage systems and offers superior noise immunity, but not TTL-input-compatible without level shifting. | Choose SN74ACT374DW for new designs needing higher speed and lower power; verify input voltage compatibility before replacing SN74F374DWR. |

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the SN74F374DWR?
The SN74F374DWR supports a maximum clock frequency of 70 MHz under recommended operating conditions (VCC = 4.5 V to 5.5 V, TA = 0°C to 70°C). This specification is validated with CL = 50 pF and RL = 500 Ω load conditions, and represents the highest guaranteed toggle rate for reliable data capture across all eight flip-flops in the SN74F374DWR device.
Does the SN74F374DWR support hot-swapping or dynamic bus reconfiguration?
Yes - the SN74F374DWR supports dynamic bus reconfiguration because its output enable (OE) input places all Q outputs in high-impedance state without affecting internal latch operation. This allows new data to be loaded or existing data retained while the bus is isolated, enabling safe insertion/removal in live backplane systems using the SN74F374DWR as a buffer register.
Is the SN74F374DWR pin-compatible with other 74F374 variants like SN74F374N or SN74F374DBR?
Yes - the SN74F374DWR shares identical 20-pin functionality and pinout with all SN74F374 variants including SN74F374N (PDIP) and SN74F374DBR (SSOP), as confirmed by TI's logic diagram and package drawings. Only package dimensions and thermal characteristics differ; no PCB layout changes are required when substituting among these SN74F374DWR-compatible packages.
What is the output drive capability of the SN74F374DWR, and how does it compare to LS-series equivalents?
The SN74F374DWR delivers up to 24 mA of low-level output current (IOL), significantly exceeding the 8 mA of SN74LS374 devices. This higher drive strength allows the SN74F374DWR to directly drive longer PCB traces, heavier capacitive loads (up to 50 pF), or multiple TTL inputs without external buffers - a key advantage in dense industrial backplane designs using the SN74F374DWR.
Can the SN74F374DWR operate reliably at 4.5 V supply voltage?
Yes - the SN74F374DWR is fully specified down to 4.5 V supply voltage, with guaranteed performance across all key parameters including VIH (2 V min), VOL (0.5 V max at 24 mA), and tPLH/tPHL (≤10 ns). Its recommended operating range explicitly includes 4.5 V to 5.5 V, making the SN74F374DWR suitable for systems with marginal 5 V rails or brown-out conditions.
