Product details
Overview
SN74LVTH374DB from Fairchild Semiconductor is a low-voltage octal D-type flip-flop with 3-STATE outputs, designed for bus-oriented applications operating at 3.3V VCC while interfacing to 5V TTL systems. It features bus-hold inputs (eliminating external pull-ups), ±32mA/64mA output drive capability, and operates across –40°C to +85°C.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LVTH374DB datasheet, SN74LVTH374DB pinout, SN74LVTH374DB application, or SN74LVTH374DB equivalent, this device is selected for high-speed data latching in mixed-voltage digital buses where glitch-free power-up/down behavior, live insertion support, and robust ESD protection (>2000V HBM) are required.
Technical Context
The SN74LVTH374DB implements eight edge-triggered D-type flip-flops sharing a common buffered clock (CP) and buffered output enable (OE). Data on D0–D7 is latched on the LOW-to-HIGH transition of CP, provided setup (1.5 ns min) and hold (0.8 ns min) times are met. OE controls 3-STATE output state independently of flip-flop contents.
Its bus-hold circuitry maintains stable logic levels on unused D inputs without external resistors, and its BiCMOS process delivers ABT-class speed (160 MHz max clock frequency) with LVT-class power efficiency (ICCL = 5 mA typical at 3.6V with outputs LOW).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.7V to 3.6V - Ensures compatibility with 3.3V logic systems while tolerating supply variation. |
| fMAX | 160 MHz - Supports high-throughput data capture in fast synchronous buses. |
| tPHL/tPLH | 1.8–5.2 ns - Enables precise timing alignment in sub-5ns critical paths. |
| IOH/IOL | –32 mA / +64 mA - Drives heavy capacitive loads or multiple TTL inputs without buffering. |
| tS/tH | 1.5 ns / 0.8 ns - Allows tight integration with fast microcontrollers or FPGAs. |
| ESD HBM | >2000 V - Reduces handling sensitivity during board assembly and field service. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - Qualified for industrial temperature environments without derating. |
Pinout & Package
SN74LVTH374DB is housed in a 20-lead SOIC package (JEDEC MS-013, 0.300" wide), with 1.27 mm lead pitch and gull-wing surface-mount terminals.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| D0–D7 | Data Inputs | Individual asynchronous data inputs for each of eight D-type flip-flops; include bus-hold circuitry. |
| CP | Clock Pulse Input | Buffered edge-sensitive input; latches Dn on LOW-to-HIGH transition. |
| OE | Output Enable Input | Active-LOW control for 3-STATE outputs; does not affect internal flip-flop state. |
| O0–O7 | 3-STATE Outputs | True-level outputs; high-impedance when OE = HIGH, driven HIGH/LOW when OE = LOW. |
| VCC | Power Supply | 3.3V nominal supply pin; supports 2.7–3.6V operation with full AC/DC specs. |
| GND | Ground Reference | Common return path for all signals and power; decoupling recommended near pin 10. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bus-hold inputs | Eliminates need for external pull-up/pull-down resistors on unused D inputs, reducing BOM count and layout area. |
| Live insertion/extraction support | Enables hot-swap capability in backplane or modular systems without damaging the device or bus. |
| Power-up/down high-impedance | Prevents bus contention during power sequencing by holding outputs in 3-STATE until VCC stabilizes. |
| TTL interface at 5V | Accepts 5V-tolerant inputs (VI up to 5.5V) while operating from 3.3V supply, enabling mixed-voltage interconnect. |
| Latch-up immunity | Exceeds 500 mA per JEDEC JESD78, ensuring robustness against transient current faults. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74LVT374WM | No bus-hold inputs; requires external pull-up resistors on unused D lines. | Suitable where input states are always driven or where board space allows discrete resistors. | Select when cost reduction outweighs layout simplification and bus-hold reliability benefits. |
| SN74ALVTH374PWR | Lower VCC range (2.3V–3.6V); higher speed (200 MHz fMAX); TSSOP-20 package. | Better suited for ultra-low-voltage or space-constrained designs requiring faster timing margins. | Choose when migrating to 2.5V systems or needing enhanced performance in compact layouts. |
Compared with SN74LVTH374DB, the 74LVT374WM lacks bus-hold and demands external biasing, while the SN74ALVTH374PWR extends voltage flexibility and speed but changes footprint-neither is pin-compatible, requiring PCB revision for substitution.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by SN74LVTH374DB?
The SN74LVTH374DB supports a maximum clock frequency of 160 MHz under recommended operating conditions (VCC = 3.3V ± 0.3V, TA = –40°C to +85°C, CL = 50 pF). This specification is guaranteed across temperature and voltage ranges and applies to the SOIC package variant. The SN74LVTH374DB achieves this speed using an advanced BiCMOS process that balances propagation delay and power consumption.
Does SN74LVTH374DB support 5V-tolerant inputs?
Yes, SN74LVTH374DB supports 5V-tolerant inputs: its VI rating extends to 5.5V, allowing direct connection to 5V TTL outputs while operating from a 3.3V supply. This eliminates level-shifter requirements in mixed-voltage systems. Input clamp diodes and robust ESD structures ensure safe operation even with sustained 5V input signals, as confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and DC Electrical Characteristics tables.
How does the bus-hold feature function in SN74LVTH374DB?
The bus-hold circuitry in SN74LVTH374DB actively maintains the last valid logic state on each D input when no external driver is present, eliminating the need for external pull-up or pull-down resistors. It draws ±75 µA minimum drive current at 3.0V to retain state and requires ±500 µA over-drive to change state-ensuring noise immunity and reliable operation during hot-swap or unconnected input conditions.
What is the output drive capability of SN74LVTH374DB?
SN74LVTH374DB provides asymmetric output drive: –32 mA for HIGH-level sourcing and +64 mA for LOW-level sinking. This supports driving multiple TTL inputs or heavier capacitive loads (e.g., long traces or unterminated stubs) without external buffers. Drive strength is specified at VCC = 3.0V and validated across the full operating temperature range.
Is SN74LVTH374DB compatible with standard 74-series 374 logic?
Yes, SN74LVTH374DB is functionally compatible with the standard 74 series 374, replicating the same truth table, pinout, and basic timing behavior. However, it operates at 3.3V with 5V-tolerant inputs and adds bus-hold functionality-differences that require validation in legacy 5V-only designs but enable seamless integration into modern low-voltage systems with backward interface capability.
