Military temperature range — avionics and downhole use
Rated for -55°C to 125°C ambient, the CD74HCT374E is specified for military, aerospace, and downhole environments where commercial or industrial parts would drift out of spec. The 10 pF input capacitance is low enough to avoid loading the driving gate excessively, even over long PCB traces. The 6 mA source/sink output current drives standard TTL loads or CMOS inputs on the same 5V rail. For high-reliability builds, the through-hole PDIP package is easier to inspect and rework than surface-mount alternatives.
Active production — no LTB risk for new designs
There is no last-time-buy notice or end-of-life forecast on record. ROHS3 compliant. The 74F374SCX-NS offers 140 MHz and surface-mount packaging but is commercial temperature only.
