CD74HC374M96

Overview

The CD74HC374M96 is an octal D-type flip-flop with 3-state outputs manufactured by Texas Instruments. It features a single data input per bit and a common clock input, enabling parallel data storage. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 2.0V to 6.0V. Key electrical characteristics include high noise immunity and low power consumption typical of HC CMOS technology. Outputs are designed for bus-oriented applications, providing balanced drive capabilities.

Feature Summary

• Octal configuration provides eight independent D-type flip-flops in a single package.
• 3-state outputs allow direct connection to microprocessor data buses without external buffers.
• Edge-triggered operation ensures data is captured on the positive-going transition of the clock signal.

Applications

• Parallel-to-serial conversion circuits
• Data buffering for microprocessor systems
• Register files in digital logic designs

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '96' indicates tape and reel packaging when ordering. Confirm the manufacturer is Texas Instruments or an authorized licensee. Check datasheet revisions for any changes in recommended operating conditions. Ensure compatibility with your system's voltage levels before integration.

Selection Notes

Select this component when an octal register with tri-state output capability is required. It is suitable for designs needing moderate speed and low power consumption. Compare propagation delays against system timing requirements. Consider package availability if surface mount assembly is necessary.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 74HC series of high-speed CMOS logic devices. It complements other 74HC family members like latches and multiplexers. The M96 suffix typically denotes a specific packaging variant, often tape and reel for automated assembly. It serves as a standard building block in complex digital systems.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the SN74HC374M96 from Texas Instruments. Other manufacturers may offer pin-compatible alternatives such as the MC74HC374ADR2G from ON Semiconductor. Verify logic level compatibility and output drive strength when cross-referencing.
