The IC component SN74F374DWE4 is a flip-flop device that is commonly used in digital circuits for storing binary information. It belongs to the SN74F series of integrated circuits which are widely known for their high-speed operation and low power consumption.
The SN74F374DWE4 is a D-type transparent latch with 3-state outputs. It consists of eight flip-flops that are used to store eight different bits of information. The latch has a transparent enable input (G) which, when active, allows the input data (D) to propagate to the outputs (Q). When the enable input is inactive or high, the outputs are locked and hold their previous values. This feature allows for the temporary storage of data when needed.
Key features of the SN74F374DWE4 include a wide operating voltage range of 2V to 6V, making it suitable for various applications. It operates at high speeds, with propagation delays as low as 11ns, allowing for rapid data transfer within a digital system. The latch also supports 3-state outputs, enabling multiple latches to be connected together for efficient bus sharing.
The SN74F374DWE4 is designed to minimize power consumption by utilizing advanced CMOS technology. Its low power characteristics make it ideal for battery-powered devices or applications where energy efficiency is crucial.
Furthermore, the IC component features an ESD protection mechanism, safeguarding it against electrostatic discharge, which can damage electronic components
