Product details
Overview
SN74LV374DW from Texas Instruments is an octal edge-triggered D-type flip-flop with 3-state outputs, designed for 2.7-V to 5.5-V VCC operation. It features ±16-mA output drive at 4.5–5.5 V, 45-MHz maximum clock frequency, and operates across −40°C to 85°C. It serves as a bus interface register in digital systems requiring bidirectional data latching and high-impedance bus isolation.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LV374DW datasheet, SN74LV374DW pinout, SN74LV374DW application, or SN74LV374DW equivalent, key selection criteria include its 20-pin SOIC (DW) package, OE-controlled 3-state outputs, setup/hold timing (7 ns / 3 ns at 5 V), ground bounce performance (<0.8 V), and compatibility with mixed-voltage 3.3-V/5-V system buses.
Technical Context
This device implements eight independent D-type latches triggered on the positive edge of CLK, with synchronous data capture and asynchronous output enable control. Each flip-flop retains state during OE assertion, enabling concurrent data loading and bus release without affecting internal storage.
The SN74LV374DW uses TI's EPIC™ (Enhanced-Performance Implanted CMOS) 2-µm process, delivering low ground bounce (VOLP < 0.8 V) and undershoot immunity (VOHV > 2 V), alongside 2000-V HBM ESD protection and latch-up immunity exceeding 250 mA per JEDEC JESD-17.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.7 V to 5.5 V - supports direct interfacing with both 3.3-V and 5-V logic domains without level shifters |
| Max Clock Frequency | 45 MHz at VCC = 5 V - enables use in medium-speed control and data acquisition timing paths |
| tsu/th | 7 ns / 3 ns (5 V) - defines minimum data stability window before and after CLK↑ for reliable capture |
| IOH/IOL | −16 mA / +16 mA at 4.5–5.5 V - drives ≥10 LVTTL loads or 50-pF bus capacitance without external buffers |
| tpd (CLK→Q) | 11–19 ns (5 V, CL = 50 pF) - determines worst-case propagation delay for timing budgeting in synchronous designs |
| Output Enable Delay | ten = 10–20 ns, tdis = 8–21 ns - ensures fast, predictable bus turnaround for time-critical shared-data applications |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded control and instrumentation environments |
Pinout & Package
SN74LV374DW is housed in a 20-pin plastic small-outline integrated circuit (SOIC) package (DW), 7.5 mm × 12.8 mm body size, 2.65 mm max height, 1.27 mm lead pitch, and gull-wing surface-mount terminals.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OE (Output Enable) | Active-low control: asserts high-impedance on all Q outputs when high; does not affect internal latch state |
| 2–9 | 1Q–8Q (Outputs) | Octal 3-state noninverting outputs; each independently driven by corresponding D input on CLK↑ |
| 10 | GND | Ground reference for all I/O and internal logic; must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling |
| 11–18 | 1D–8D (Data Inputs) | Asynchronous data inputs latched into respective flip-flops on rising CLK edge |
| 19 | VCC | Positive supply rail (2.7–5.5 V); decoupling capacitor required within 10 mm of this pin |
| 20 | CLK | Clock input; edge-sensitive trigger for simultaneous capture of all eight D inputs |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 3-State Outputs with OE Control | Enables true bidirectional bus sharing without external direction logic or pull-ups |
| High-Drive Capability (±16 mA) | Eliminates need for external bus drivers in moderate-capacitance (≤50 pF) backplane or PCB trace applications |
| Low Ground Bounce (VOLP < 0.8 V) | Maintains signal integrity during simultaneous output switching in dense digital layouts |
| Wide Supply Range (2.7–5.5 V) | Permits single-device deployment across legacy 5-V and modern 3.3-V subsystems |
| Industrial Temperature Range | Validated operation from −40°C to +85°C supports deployment in uncontrolled ambient environments |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Module | Legacy Bus Interface Adapter |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Isolating microcontroller GPIO from noisy 24-V field-side digital inputs/outputs in programmable logic controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Acts as an octal input latch and output buffer, synchronizing field signals to the controller clock domain while providing bus contention protection. Use Value: Enables deterministic sampling of industrial sensors via CLK edge-triggering and prevents bus conflicts using OE-controlled high-Z states during reconfiguration. |
Use Scenario: Bridging ISA or PCI local bus signals between 3.3-V FPGA and 5-V peripheral ASICs in test equipment. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Functions as a voltage-tolerant, direction-agnostic bus transceiver with precise setup/hold timing compliance. Use Value: Delivers 16-mA drive at 5 V to meet TTL load requirements while accepting 3.3-V logic levels on D inputs-no level-shifter ICs needed. |
| Embedded Data Acquisition Buffer | Microcontroller Parallel Port Expander |
|
Use Scenario: Capturing parallel ADC output words (e.g., 8-bit SAR converters) synchronized to a master system clock. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Serves as a clocked input register, holding sampled data stable for MCU read access over shared address/data bus. Use Value: Guarantees data validity with 7-ns setup time and eliminates metastability risk via synchronous edge-triggered capture. |
Use Scenario: Extending GPIO count of ARM Cortex-M0/M3 MCUs for driving LED arrays, relays, or LCD segments. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides latch + 3-state output functionality to emulate additional parallel port pins under software control via OE. Use Value: Allows dynamic bus release (via OE) to share same pins with other peripherals-reducing PCB layer count and BOM cost. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74LVC374PW | Lower VCC range (1.65–3.6 V); 32-mA drive; 1.5-V to 3.3-V input thresholds only | Restricted to 3.3-V-only systems; unsuitable for 5-V bus interfacing | Select when operating exclusively at 3.3 V and higher drive or lower power is required |
| SN74ACT374N | 5-V-only supply (4.5–5.5 V); TTL-compatible inputs; higher ICC (40 µA typical) | Requires 5-V rails and generates more static power; incompatible with 3.3-V logic | Choose for legacy 5-V systems needing TTL input noise margin and faster tpd (6 ns) |
Compared with SN74LV374DW, 74LVC374PW offers superior drive but lacks 5-V tolerance, while SN74ACT374N delivers faster speed and TTL input robustness at the cost of supply inflexibility and higher quiescent current-making SN74LV374DW optimal for mixed-voltage industrial interfaces.

FAQ
What is the recommended decoupling strategy for SN74LV374DW?
Place a 0.1-µF ceramic capacitor between VCC (Pin 19) and GND (Pin 10), located ≤10 mm from the SN74LV374DW package. For systems with high switching activity, add a 4.7-µF bulk capacitor nearby. This minimizes supply ripple and suppresses ground bounce observed in the SN74LV374DW's EPIC™ process, especially during simultaneous output transitions.
Can SN74LV374DW operate reliably at 2.7 V with a 45-MHz clock?
No. At VCC = 2.7 V, the SN74LV374DW's maximum clock frequency is 35 MHz per its timing specifications. Attempting 45 MHz violates the device's AC characteristics and risks setup/hold violations. For full 45-MHz operation, VCC must be ≥4.5 V. Always consult the SN74LV374DW's recommended operating conditions table for voltage-dependent timing limits.
Does OE assertion affect the internal state of SN74LV374DW flip-flops?
No. OE is purely an output control signal and has no effect on internal latch operation. When OE is high, the SN74LV374DW's Q outputs enter high-impedance mode, but stored data remains intact. New data can still be clocked in via CLK and D inputs, and previously latched values persist-enabling seamless bus arbitration without data loss.
Is SN74LV374DW pin-compatible with standard 74LS374 or 74HC374 devices?
Yes, the SN74LV374DW shares identical 20-pin SOIC (DW) pinout and functional assignment with 74LS374 and 74HC374, including CLK, OE, D1–8, Q1–8, VCC, and GND locations. However, voltage thresholds, drive strength, and timing differ-so electrical compatibility must be verified per application voltage and load conditions.
What is the meaning of "EPIC™ 2-µ Process" in SN74LV374DW documentation?
EPIC™ (Enhanced-Performance Implanted CMOS) is Texas Instruments' proprietary 2-µm CMOS fabrication process used for the SN74LV374DW. It delivers improved noise immunity, lower ground bounce (<0.8 V), higher latch-up immunity (>250 mA), and robust ESD protection (2000 V HBM)-critical for reliable operation in electrically noisy industrial environments where the SN74LV374DW is commonly deployed.
