Additional Details

The TC74HC374AFW contains eight D-type flip-flops with common clock (CK) and output enable (OE) inputs. Data is transferred to the outputs on the positive-going edge of the clock pulse. The three-state outputs are controlled by the output enable (OE) input. When OE is low, the outputs are enabled. When OE is high, the outputs are in the high-impedance state. The device comes in a SOIC20 package, suitable for surface mount assembly.
