8-bit D-type register with tri-state bus drive
The SN74S374N is an 8-bit D-type flip-flop from TI's 74S Schottky family. It captures data on the positive edge of the clock and presents it on tri-state, non-inverted outputs — meaning the outputs can be driven high, low, or placed in a high-impedance state for bus sharing. The 100 MHz clock frequency and 17 ns propagation delay (at 5 V, 15 pF) make it a fit for moderate-speed address/data latching in 5 V TTL systems. It is a through-hole part in a 20-pin DIP (0.300" body), so it goes into socketed boards or prototype builds, not a reflow line.
Supply and temperature — the operating envelope
The part runs on a 4.75 V to 5.25 V supply. The 0°C to 70°C commercial temperature grade means it is specified for indoor, climate-controlled equipment.
Output drive and quiescent current
Each output can source 6.5 mA (IOH) — enough to drive one or two standard TTL loads or a low-power LED indicator, but not a heavy bus without a buffer. The quiescent supply current (Iq) sits at 110 mA, which is typical for a Schottky 8-bit register and means the part draws that current even when idle. For battery-powered or thermally constrained boards, the 74LS or 74HC families draw significantly less standby current.
Lifecycle and sourcing
The SN74S374N carries an Active product status. It is sourced through independent distribution and quoted to order against an RFQ.
