Product details
Overview
74ACT573MTR from STMicroelectronics is an advanced high-speed CMOS octal D-type latch with non-inverting 3-state outputs, designed for bus interface and data latching in TTL/CMOS mixed-signal systems. It features 5 ns typical propagation delay at 5 V, ±24 mA symmetrical output drive, 4.5–5.5 V operating range, and 2 kV ESD immunity. Used in address/data bus isolation in industrial controllers and memory-mapped I/O subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the 74ACT573MTR datasheet, 74ACT573MTR pinout, 74ACT573MTR application, or 74ACT573MTR equivalent, key selection criteria include latch enable timing (1 ns min pulse width), 3-state output disable time (6.5 ns typ), input compatibility with TTL logic thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.0 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V), and SO-20 package thermal performance under continuous 24 mA sink/source loads.
Technical Context
The 74ACT573 implements dual-control latching via LE (latch enable) and OE (output enable), supporting transparent data flow when LE is high and precise edge-triggered capture on LE low transition. Its C2MOS process ensures latch-up immunity and rail-to-rail output swing across -55°C to +125°C.
All eight D-to-Q paths exhibit balanced tPLH/tPHL delays (≤12 ns max over full temperature range), and outputs maintain 50 Ω transmission line driving capability with symmetrical |IOH| = |IOL| ≥ 24 mA, enabling direct termination without external resistors in high-speed backplane interfaces.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| tPD (typ) | 5 ns at VCC = 5 V - enables 100+ MHz bus operation with margin for setup/hold timing closure |
| VCC Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - supports industrial-grade 5 V rails with ±10% tolerance |
| IOL / IOH (min) | 24 mA - drives standard 50 Ω transmission lines without external buffers |
| tW (LE min pulse) | 1.0 ns (25°C) - allows high-frequency latching in burst-mode data acquisition |
| ICC (max) | 4 µA at TA = 25°C - ultra-low static power for always-on control logic sections |
| ESD Immunity | 2 kV HBM - protects against handling discharge in automated PCB assembly |
| Operating Temp | -55°C to +125°C - qualified for extended-temperature industrial and automotive under-hood use |
Pinout & Package
74ACT573MTR is housed in a 20-pin SOIC (SO-20) package per mechanical drawing P013L, with 1.27 mm pitch, 12.6–13.0 mm body length, and 10.0–10.65 mm width. Thermal resistance (RθJA) is 90°C/W, suitable for natural convection in dense PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OE | Active-low 3-state output enable - disables all Q0–Q7 simultaneously into high-Z mode |
| 2–9 | D0–D7 | Data inputs - accept TTL-compatible levels (VIH ≥ 2.0 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V) for mixed-voltage interfacing |
| 11 | LE | Latch enable - transparent when high; captures Dn on falling edge and holds Qn until next LE low |
| 12–19 | Q0–Q7 | Non-inverting 3-state outputs - deliver rail-aligned logic levels with ±24 mA drive strength |
| 10 | GND | Ground reference - must be connected to system 0 V plane with low-inductance path for noise immunity |
| 20 | VCC | Positive supply - requires local 100 nF ceramic decoupling within 5 mm of pin for stable high-speed switching |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Sub-micron C2MOS process | Enables 5 ns propagation delay while maintaining 2 kV HBM ESD robustness and latch-up immunity |
| Symmetrical output impedance | |IOH| = |IOL| ≥ 24 mA ensures matched rise/fall times and minimal signal distortion on controlled-impedance traces |
| Balanced tPLH/tPHL | ≤12 ns max mismatch over full temperature range - eliminates duty-cycle skew in clocked bus systems |
| 50 Ω transmission line drive | Eliminates need for series termination resistors in point-to-point or daisy-chained bus topologies |
| TTL-compatible input thresholds | VIH ≥ 2.0 V / VIL ≤ 0.8 V allows direct connection to legacy 74LS and 74F logic without level shifters |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal latch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ACT573N | DIP-20 package, higher RθJA (110°C/W), no lead-free option | Prototyping and through-hole PCBs only; unsuitable for reflow-soldered high-density designs | Select when manual assembly or socket-based validation is required |
| 74LCX573MTCX | Lower VCC range (2.0–3.6 V), 3.3 V logic compatible, 7 ns tPD | Targets modern low-voltage embedded systems; not interoperable with 5 V buses | Choose for 3.3 V domains where power efficiency outweighs speed requirements |
Compared with SN74ACT573N and 74LCX573MTCX, the 74ACT573MTR uniquely balances 5 V TTL compatibility, SO-20 surface-mount reliability, and 5 ns speed-making it optimal for industrial bus interfaces requiring drop-in replacement of legacy 74LS573 without redesigning power or layout.

FAQ
What is the minimum recommended VCC bypass capacitance for stable 74ACT573MTR operation?
A minimum 100 nF X7R ceramic capacitor must be placed within 5 mm of the VCC (pin 20) and GND (pin 10) pins. This suppresses high-frequency supply noise generated during simultaneous 24 mA output switching, preventing output oscillation and ensuring tPLH/tPHL timing compliance across temperature.
Can 74ACT573MTR safely drive a 50 Ω load continuously?
Yes-the device is characterized for 50 Ω transmission line driving with IOL/IOH ≥ 24 mA at VCC = 5 V. Continuous DC loading up to 24 mA per output is supported within absolute maximum ratings; however, sustained full-load operation requires board-level thermal design to limit junction temperature below 125°C.
How does the 74ACT573MTR handle input voltages outside the recommended VI range?
Inputs tolerate -0.5 V to VCC + 0.5 V per absolute maximum ratings. Exceeding VIH ≥ 2.0 V or VIL ≤ 0.8 V risks incorrect latching or increased ICC. Input diode current is limited to ±20 mA; sustained violation may cause permanent damage or parametric shift in propagation delay.
Is the 74ACT573MTR pin-compatible with older 74LS573 devices?
Yes-pinout, function, and logic behavior are identical. However, 74ACT573MTR offers faster tPD (5 ns vs. 17 ns), lower ICC (4 µA vs. 24 mA), and higher output drive (24 mA vs. 8 mA), enabling direct replacement in LS-based designs where timing margin or power budget allows.
