CD74ACT374M96

Overview

The CD74ACT374M96 is an octal D-type flip-flop manufactured by Texas Instruments, belonging to the 74ACT logic family. It features eight independent D-type flip-flops with positive-edge triggering and non-inverting outputs in a 20-pin SOIC package. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V, supporting a maximum clock frequency of 60 MHz. It exhibits a propagation delay of 33 ns at 4.5 V with a 50 pF load and maintains low static current consumption typical of CMOS technology.

Feature Summary

• Octal configuration providing eight independent D-type flip-flops for parallel data storage
• Positive-edge triggering mechanism synchronized with the clock signal input
• Non-inverting output polarity ensuring direct logical correspondence with data inputs
• High-speed CMOS construction enabling operation up to 60 MHz clock frequencies

Applications

• Parallel-to-serial data conversion circuits requiring temporary storage
• Digital state retention within microprocessor-based system interfaces
• Timing synchronization and pulse stretching applications in digital logic systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix M96 corresponds to the tape-and-reel packaging format required for automated surface-mount assembly processes. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level ratings prior to integration into production workflows to ensure environmental durability and handling safety standards are met.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring high-density octal storage with ACT-level speed performance. Ensure the design environment supports the specified 4.5 V to 5.5 V operating voltage range. Consider the 20-pin SOIC footprint constraints during PCB layout planning to accommodate the required trace routing and thermal dissipation characteristics effectively.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Texas Instruments 74ACT series, which bridges the performance gap between standard 74LS and 74AC logic families. The ACT series offers faster switching speeds than LS equivalents while maintaining compatible input/output electrical characteristics, making it suitable for upgrading legacy designs without altering interface requirements.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with CD74ACT374N for equivalent functionality in a different package style. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical specifications against alternative manufacturers' octal D-type flip-flops before substitution.
