The TC74AC374P is an octal D-type flip-flop with three-state outputs manufactured by Toshiba Semiconductor and Storage. Part of the Advanced CMOS (AC) series, it offers high speed and low power consumption. This device features eight D-type flip-flops with a common clock (CLK) input and three-state outputs. Data at the D inputs is transferred to the Q outputs on the positive-going edge of the clock pulse. The three-state outputs facilitate connection to a common bus. The TC74AC374P is commonly used for creating register files, memory address registers, and in data bus interfacing applications. It comes in a through-hole DIP (Dual In-line Package), allowing for ease of use in prototyping and breadboarding.

The TC74AC374P latches data on the positive-going edge of the clock (CLK) signal. The data present at the D inputs is transferred to the corresponding Q outputs. The output enable (OE) input controls the three-state outputs. When OE is low, the outputs are enabled and drive the latched data. When OE is high, the outputs are placed in a high-impedance state, effectively disconnecting the device from the bus. The device operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.
