SN74LVC374ADW

Flip Flops Overview

The SN74LVC374ADW is an octal edge-triggered D-type flip-flop manufactured by Texas Instruments. It features eight independent D-type flip-flops with 3-state outputs, designed for low-voltage CMOS technology. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 1.65V to 3.6V and supports data rates up to 200MHz. It utilizes a 20-pin SOIC (Wide) package and offers low static power consumption. The component is suitable for high-speed digital applications requiring efficient data storage and bus driving capabilities.

Flip Flops Feature Summary

• Octal configuration providing eight independent D-type flip-flops in a single package
• 3-state outputs allowing direct connection to bus structures without external buffers
• Edge-triggered operation ensures data capture occurs only at specific clock transitions
• Low static power consumption characteristic of advanced LVC CMOS technology

Flip Flops Applications

• Parallel-to-serial and serial-to-parallel data conversion circuits
• Register files and buffer stages in microprocessor-based systems
• Clock domain crossing synchronization logic
• General-purpose memory storage in embedded controllers

Flip Flops Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix 'ADW' corresponds to the 20-pin Wide SOIC package and industrial temperature grade. Confirm RoHS compliance status as per the latest manufacturer datasheet revision. Ensure ordering documentation specifies the correct tape-and-reel or tube packaging variant if applicable. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number against authorized distributor catalogs to avoid counterfeit components.

Flip Flops Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems operating between 1.65V and 3.6V that require octal storage with tri-state control. Compare propagation delay specifications against system timing requirements at the target supply voltage. Evaluate package thermal performance for the intended PCB layout. Consider alternative packages like PW or DBR if footprint constraints differ from the standard SOIC-W dimensions.

Flip Flops Part Context

This device belongs to the Texas Instruments SN74LVC series, which provides low-voltage operation compatible with modern digital interfaces. The LVC family bridges the gap between older 5V logic and newer 1.8V/2.5V standards. The SN74LVC374ADW specifically addresses applications needing high-density octal latching with minimal power draw in compact surface-mount form factors.

Flip Flops Replacement Considerations

SN74LVC374ADWR is a reel-packaged equivalent with identical electrical characteristics. SN74LVC374APW serves as a pin-compatible alternative in TSSOP-20 packaging. Verify functional compatibility before substituting, as package dimensions and thermal properties may differ slightly.
