Product details
Overview
SN74LS374NSRG4 from Texas Instruments is an octal positive-edge-triggered D-type flip-flop with 3-state bus-driving outputs, designed for synchronous data latching in TTL-compatible digital systems. It features independent output-enable (OC) control, buffered clock input, and operates at VCC = 4.75–5.25 V with tPLH/tPHL ≤ 28 ns and fmax = 35 MHz under standard load conditions. It is used in address/data bus buffering, I/O port expansion, and register file implementation in legacy industrial controllers and embedded instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LS374NSRG4 datasheet, SN74LS374NSRG4 pinout, SN74LS374NSRG4 application, or SN74LS374NSRG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include its edge-triggered storage behavior, 3-state output drive capability (±24 mA), OC-controlled bus isolation, and compatibility with 5-V TTL logic families in space-constrained SOP-20 layouts.
Technical Context
The SN74LS374NSRG4 implements eight independent D-type flip-flops synchronized to the rising edge of CLK, with each Q output capturing the logic state present at its corresponding D input at clock transition. Its output-enable (OC) terminal operates asynchronously and places all eight outputs in high-impedance state without affecting internal latch states.
It uses standard TTL input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max), supports full parallel loading, and maintains data integrity during output disable via internal retention-enabling seamless bus arbitration in multi-master systems without external hold circuitry.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 4.75 V to 5.25 V - Ensures stable operation within commercial-grade 5-V TTL supply tolerance. |
| fmax | 35 MHz - Maximum reliable clock frequency under RL = 667 Ω / CL = 45 pF load, suitable for medium-speed bus interfaces. |
| tPLH / tPHL | ≤ 28 ns - Propagation delay from CLK to Q ensures timing predictability in synchronous pipelines. |
| IOL / IOH | 24 mA / –2.6 mA - Sustained low/high output drive enables direct connection to capacitive or resistive bus loads without buffers. |
| tsu / th (CLK) | 20 ns setup / 5 ns hold - Defines minimum D-input stability window before/after CLK edge for reliable sampling. |
| IOZH / IOZL | ±20 µA - Low off-state leakage preserves bus signal integrity when outputs are disabled. |
| ICC (active) | 27–40 mA - Supply current range reflects dynamic switching activity; critical for power budgeting in dense logic designs. |
Pinout & Package
SOP-20 (Small Outline Package, 20-pin) with gull-wing leads, 0.65 mm pitch, JEDEC MS-013AC compliant. Body dimensions: 12.8 mm × 7.5 mm × 2.65 mm (max height).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OC) | Output Control | Active-low enable: drives all Q outputs to high-Z when high; no effect on internal flip-flop state. |
| 2–9 (D1–D8) | Data Inputs | Asynchronous inputs sampled on rising CLK edge; TTL-compatible voltage thresholds. |
| 10 (GND) | Ground Reference | Signal and power return path; must be low-inductance for noise immunity. |
| 11–18 (Q1–Q8) | 3-State Outputs | Edge-triggered registered outputs; driven high/low or placed in high-Z per OC state. |
| 19 (VCC) | Supply Voltage | +5 V nominal power rail; decoupling capacitor required near pin for transient suppression. |
| 20 (CLK) | Clock Input | Rising-edge sensitive; Schmitt-trigger not present (unlike 'S374 variants); requires clean, monotonic transitions. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Edge-triggered storage | Positive-edge CLK sampling eliminates transparency window, enabling deterministic timing in pipelined architectures. |
| Independent 3-state control | Single OC pin disables all eight outputs simultaneously without disrupting internal data retention. |
| Bus-compatible drive strength | 24 mA sink / 2.6 mA source capability allows direct interfacing with standard TTL/CMOS buses up to 15 pF load. |
| Full parallel access | All eight D inputs and Q outputs accessible concurrently-ideal for byte-wide data paths and register files. |
| TTL input compatibility | Standard VIH/VIL thresholds (2.0 V / 0.8 V) ensure interoperability with legacy 74LS, 74F, and 74ALS logic families. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal D-type flip-flop applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LS374N | Same logic function and electrical specs; PDIP-20 package instead of SOP-20. | Preferred for through-hole prototyping or legacy board rework where surface-mount is impractical. | Select SN74LS374N for hand-soldered development or repair; SN74LS374NSRG4 for automated assembly and space-constrained layouts. |
| SN74LS374DWR | Identical functionality and SOP-20 package; differs only in tape-and-reel packaging (2000 pcs/reel vs. NSRG4's unspecified quantity). | No functional difference; choice depends solely on procurement channel and volume requirements. | Choose SN74LS374DWR for high-volume production with pick-and-place feeders; SN74LS374NSRG4 for smaller-batch or mixed-SMT builds. |
Compared with SN74LS374N and SN74LS374DWR, the SN74LS374NSRG4 offers identical timing, drive, and logic behavior in a RoHS-compliant SOP-20 package with NIPDAU lead finish and Level-1 moisture sensitivity-making it optimal for modern automated manufacturing while maintaining full drop-in compatibility with legacy designs.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the SN74LS374NSRG4?
The SN74LS374NSRG4 is an octal positive-edge-triggered D-type flip-flop with 3-state outputs. It captures and holds eight bits of data on the rising edge of its CLK input, and its OC pin independently controls whether the Q outputs drive the bus or enter high-impedance state-making it ideal for synchronous bus interfacing and register applications.
Does the SN74LS374NSRG4 have Schmitt-trigger inputs?
No, the SN74LS374NSRG4 does not feature Schmitt-trigger inputs on CLK or OC. Unlike the 'S374 variants, its inputs follow standard TTL thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max) without hysteresis-requiring clean, monotonic clock and control signals to avoid metastability or false triggering.
Can the SN74LS374NSRG4 be used as a transparent latch?
No-the SN74LS374NSRG4 is strictly an edge-triggered flip-flop. For transparent latching behavior, use the SN74LS373 family. The SN74LS374NSRG4 samples D inputs only on the rising CLK edge and holds the value until the next clock event; it does not pass through data while CLK is high.
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the SN74LS374NSRG4?
The SN74LS374NSRG4 supports a maximum clock frequency of 35 MHz under standard test conditions (RL = 667 Ω, CL = 45 pF, VCC = 5 V, TA = 25°C). At higher temperatures or heavier loads, derating is required-consult TI's SDLS165B datasheet for full AC characteristics.
Is the SN74LS374NSRG4 RoHS compliant?
Yes, the SN74LS374NSRG4 is RoHS compliant, featuring NiPdAu (NIPDAU) lead finish and meeting JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity Level-1 (260°C peak reflow). Its SOP-20 package is rated for 0°C to 70°C operation and qualified for commercial-grade production use.
