Product Overview: 74LVT374PW by NXP Semiconductors

The 74LVT374PW is a high-performance, low-voltage, octal D-type flip-flop with 3-state outputs, manufactured by NXP Semiconductors. Designed for use in applications requiring high-speed data storage and transfer, this integrated circuit (IC) is part of the LVT family, which is known for its low-voltage operation and tolerance to higher speeds. The 74LVT374PW is particularly suitable for interfacing with 3.3V systems in a mixed 3.3V/5V supply environment.

Key Features

• Power Supply: Operates with a +3.3V power supply, with a 5V tolerant I/O for interfacing with 5V logic levels without damage.
• High-Speed: Capable of fast switching, with a typical t_PD of 3.8ns at V_CC = 3.3V and C_L = 50pF.
• Bus Hold Data Inputs: Eliminates the need for external pull-up resistors by holding unused or floating data inputs at a valid logic level.
• 3-State Outputs: Facilitates bus-oriented applications by providing the option to place the output in a high-impedance state.
• Edge-Triggered Flip-Flops: Positive-edge triggering ensures reliable operation and data stability during transitions.

Applications

The 74LVT374PW is versatile and can be used in a variety of digital applications, including:

• Memory storage and registers
• Data communication systems
• Computer systems
• Embedded systems requiring high-speed data processing

Package and Quality

This IC is offered in a TSSOP20 (Thin Shrink Small Outline Package) which is suitable for space-constrained applications. Its compact form factor and low profile make it ideal for surface-mounted design. The 74LVT374PW is also compliant with JEDEC standard no. JESD78 IC Latch-Up Test, ensuring high reliability and performance under stressful conditions.

With its combination of speed, low power consumption, and robust interface capabilities, the 74LVT374PW from NXP Semiconductors is an excellent choice for designers looking to optimize their high-speed digital systems.
