Product Description:

The SN74LS374J is an octal, positive-edge-triggered D-type flip-flop with a clear (CLR) input and 3-state outputs. Each flip-flop has independent D (data), (CLR), and clock (CLK) inputs and Q outputs. When the clock input is at a high level, the Q outputs will follow the data (D) inputs. When the clock input is LOW, the data will not change. The clear input has a direct overriding function on the clock; when (CLR) is activated, all Q outputs will be set low, independent of the other inputs.

The 3-state outputs are designed for driving highly capacitive or relatively low-impedance loads. The device is characterized for operation from -55°C to +125°C, ensuring reliability in extreme environments. Its fast propagation delay times and low power consumption make it suitable for many interfacing applications, particularly where high speed and/or low power dissipation are important.

With its robust ceramic J-lead package, the SN74LS374J ensures a reliable connection to the circuit board, providing both thermal endurance and resistance to mechanical stress. This product is a testament to Texas Instruments' commitment to offering industry-leading solutions that meet the rigorous demands of modern electronic systems.
