The ON Semiconductor 74LVQ374SC is a high-performance, low-voltage octal D-type flip-flop with a clear feature, designed to be utilized in the latest 3.3V systems. This integrated circuit is part of the 74LVQ family, which is renowned for its low-power consumption and high-speed operation, making it an ideal choice for energy-efficient and fast electronic applications.

The device consists of eight edge-triggered flip-flops with individual D-type inputs and Q outputs. The clear input is synchronous, allowing for the simultaneous clearing of all flip-flops when the clear input is taken low. This feature is particularly useful for system initialization and reset functions. The 74LVQ374SC also comes with a 3-state output control, which adds flexibility to the bus-oriented applications by allowing the outputs to be placed in a high impedance state, effectively disconnecting them from the bus.

Constructed with ON Semiconductor's advanced technology, the 74LVQ374SC operates at a voltage range of 2.7V to 3.6V, which is compatible with 3.3V logic levels while providing 5V tolerant inputs. This tolerance allows for interfacing with 5V systems, thereby enhancing the chip's versatility in mixed-voltage environments.

The 74LVQ374SC is available in a 20-pin SOIC package, which is suitable for surface-mount technology (SMT). The compact form factor of the SOIC package allows for a more efficient use of board space, which is critical in modern high-density electronic designs.

Key features of the 74LVQ374SC include:

• Eight D-type flip-flops with clear
