Functional Description

The VHCT374A consists of eight edge-triggered flip-flops

with individual D-type inputs and 3-STATE true outputs.

The buffered clock and buffered Output Enable are com-

mon to all flip-flops. The eight flip-flops will store the state

of their individual D inputs that meet the setup and hold

time requirements on the LOW-to-HIGH Clock (CP) transi-

tion. With the Output Enable (OE) LOW, the contents of the

eight flip-flops are available at the outputs. When the OE is

HIGH, the outputs go to the high impedance state. Opera-

tion of the OE input does not affect the state of the flip-

flops.
