The SN74ALS374N from Texas Instruments is a high-performance, octal edge-triggered D-type flip-flop integrated circuit. Designed for use in a wide range of electronic applications, this device is particularly suitable for fast, temporary data storage, and for transferring data from input to output pins synchronous with the clock pulse.

Key Features

• Logic Type: Octal D-Type Flip-Flop
• Number of Pins: 20
• Package / Case: PDIP-20
• Output Type: 3-State
• Operating Temperature Range: 0°C to +70°C
• Propagation Delay Time: Typically 15 ns at 5V
• Supply Voltage: 4.5V to 5.5V

Performance and Usage

The SN74ALS374N features eight edge-triggered D-type flip-flops with 3-state outputs, all in a single monolithic chip. This allows for the simultaneous storage of 8 bits of data, which can be transferred to the output bus when enabled. The 3-state outputs are designed to drive bus lines or buffer memory address registers, ensuring efficient data flow within your system.

With its fast propagation delay and direct clear (CLR) input, the SN74ALS374N is optimized for synchronous applications. The clear function is independent of the clock and is initiated by a low level on the CLR input. The device operates at a standard 5V supply voltage, making it compatible with many other TTL logic families.

Reliability and Quality

Texas Instruments is known for its commitment to quality and reliability, and the SN74ALS374N is no exception. It is designed to meet or exceed the stringent requirements of the commercial temperature range and is suitable for a wide range of environmental conditions.

Applications
