Product details

70 MHz clock, 2V–6V supply — the bus-buffer choice

The SN74HC374PWT is a Texas Instruments 74HC-series octal D-type flip-flop with tri-state non-inverted outputs, positive-edge triggered, in a 20-TSSOP package. It clocks at 70 MHz, runs from 2V to 6V, and sinks or sources 7.8 mA per output. The wide supply range is the headline differentiator: it bridges 3.3 V and 5 V logic domains without a level translator, which is the main reason a designer picks 74HC over 74LS or 74F families.

31 ns propagation delay — timing budget for the bus

Max propagation delay is 31 ns at 6 V supply and 50 pF load. That figure sets the data-to-clock setup window the upstream device must meet. If the driving logic has a 10 ns output hold time, the 31 ns delay leaves comfortable margin; if the upstream part is slower, you may need to stretch the clock period or switch to a faster logic family like 74F (the 74F374SCX-NS, for example, clocks at 140 MHz with 8.5 ns delay). The 3 pF input capacitance keeps the bus load light, so a single gate driver can fan out to several flip-flops without signal degradation.

Frequently asked questions

Is SN74HC374PWT RoHS compliant?

Yes, the SN74HC374PWT is listed as ROHS3 compliant.

What is the difference between SN74HC374PWT and SN74HCT374PWT?

The HCT variant has TTL-compatible input thresholds, while the HC variant uses CMOS thresholds. If the driving logic is 5 V TTL (e.g., 74LS or 74F), the HCT version guarantees a clean logic-high at 2.0 V input. The HC version requires the input to reach about 3.5 V at 5 V supply to guarantee a high, which is fine when the driver is another CMOS output.

Can SN74HC374PWT be used in high-speed applications?

The 70 MHz clock rate and 31 ns propagation delay suit moderate-speed bus buffering and register applications — think microcontroller address/data latching at 20–50 MHz bus speeds. For faster pipelines (above 100 MHz), consider the 74F374SCX-NS which clocks at 140 MHz with 8.5 ns delay.

Is SN74HC374PWT compatible with 5V logic?

Yes. The 2V–6V supply range includes 5 V operation. With a 5 V supply, the CMOS input thresholds are typically 3.5 V for a logic high and 1.5 V for a logic low, so it interfaces directly with 5 V CMOS outputs. For 5 V TTL outputs, the HCT variant is the safer choice.
