SN74AC374DWRE4

Flip Flops Overview

The SN74AC374DWRE4 is an octal D-type edge-triggered flip-flop manufactured by Texas Instruments. It features three-state outputs and operates within a supply voltage range of 2 V to 6 V. The device utilizes CMOS input technology and provides non-inverting logic. Key electrical parameters include a propagation delay of 13.5 ns, with high-level output current capability of -24 mA and low-level output current of 24 mA. It functions reliably across an operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.

Flip Flops Feature Summary

• Octal configuration providing eight independent D-type edge-triggered flip-flops in a single package
• Three-state outputs allow direct connection to bus lines for efficient data management
• CMOS input structure ensures compatibility with standard logic families while maintaining low power consumption

Flip Flops Applications

• Parallel-to-serial data conversion circuits
• Bus-oriented memory register implementations
• High-speed buffering applications requiring tri-state control

Flip Flops Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'E4' against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm compliance with environmental standards such as RoHS. Ensure the package type matches the required PCB footprint, as variations exist between SOIC and other formats within the same logical family. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date to validate parameter accuracy before finalizing component selection.

Flip Flops Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring multiple synchronized storage elements with controlled output impedance. Consider the 2 V to 6 V operating range to ensure compatibility with the target system's power rails. Evaluate the 13.5 ns propagation delay against the maximum clock frequency requirements of the application to prevent timing violations during data capture.

Flip Flops Part Context

This part belongs to the SN74AC series of logic integrated circuits, which are designed for high-speed digital applications. The AC series offers improved performance over older HC or HCT variants. As an octal flip-flop, it serves as a fundamental building block for sequential logic design, enabling data retention and synchronization in complex digital architectures.
