Product details
Overview
74FCT2574CTSOCTG4 from Texas Instruments is an octal edge-triggered D-type flip-flop register with 3-state outputs, 5.2 ns propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL), 25-Ω integrated output series resistors, and Ioff support for partial-power-down operation. It operates at 4.75–5.25 V, delivers ±15 mA output drive, and targets bus-oriented digital systems requiring noise-immune data latching.
For engineers reviewing the 74FCT2574CTSOCTG4 datasheet, 74FCT2574CTSOCTG4 pinout, 74FCT2574CTSOCTG4 application, or 74FCT2574CTSOCTG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3-state bus interface capability, matched rise/fall times, TTL-compatible input thresholds, and SOIC-20 package with input/output separation for PCB layout optimization.
Technical Context
This device implements eight independent D-type latches triggered on the low-to-high clock (CP) transition, with synchronous storage governed by setup (1.5 ns) and hold (1 ns) timing constraints. All flip-flops share a common buffered CP and active-low output-enable (OE) control signal.
Its edge-rate control circuitry and on-die 25-Ω series termination resistors suppress transmission-line reflections, while Ioff protection disables outputs during VCC = 0 V to prevent backflow current-enabling safe hot-insertion and multi-rail system interoperability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Propagation Delay | 5.2 ns max (tPLH/tPHL), enabling 250-MHz typical switching in synchronous bus applications |
| Supply Voltage | 4.75–5.25 V, compatible with standard 5-V TTL and CMOS logic domains |
| Output Drive | ±15 mA (source/sink), sufficient to drive multiple TTL loads without external buffers |
| Input Thresholds | VIL = 0.8 V, VIH = 2.0 V - fully compatible with TTL input logic levels |
| Output Termination | 25 Ω series resistance per output - reduces signal reflection noise on PCB traces |
| Ioff Protection | ±1 µA max leakage at VCC = 0 V - prevents damaging current flow during partial power-down |
| ESD Rating | 2000-V HBM, 200-V MM, 1000-V CDM - exceeds JESD22 standards for robust handling |
Pinout & Package
74FCT2574CTSOCTG4 is housed in a 20-pin SOIC (DW) package, 7.5 mm × 12.8 mm body size, with gull-wing leads and RoHS-compliant CU NIPDAU finish (MSL Level-1).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OE) | Active-Low Output Enable | Controls all 8 outputs simultaneously; high = high-impedance, low = functional data output |
| 2–9 (D0–D7) | Data Inputs | Independent D-type inputs for each flip-flop; routed to one side of package for clean input routing |
| 10 (GND) | Ground Reference | Primary return path for logic and output currents; requires low-inductance PCB connection |
| 11 (VCC) | Power Supply | +5 V supply rail; decoupling capacitor required within 1 cm of this pin |
| 12–19 (O0–O7) | 3-State Outputs | Octal registered outputs with internal 25-Ω series termination; placed opposite inputs for minimized crosstalk |
| 20 (CP) | Clock Input | Buffered edge-triggered clock; low-to-high transition captures D-input states into flip-flops |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Input/Output Separation | All D inputs on pins 2–9 and all O outputs on pins 12–19 - simplifies layer routing and reduces inter-layer coupling |
| Matched Edge Rates | Rise and fall times balanced to minimize ground bounce and EMI in high-speed parallel buses |
| TTL-Compatible Interface | Accepts standard TTL VIH/VIL and drives TTL loads directly - eliminates level-shifter requirements |
| Partial-Power-Down Support | Ioff circuitry ensures zero backflow current when VCC = 0 V - enables live insertion in modular backplane systems |
| Noise-Optimized Architecture | On-chip 25-Ω series resistors + edge-rate control reduce overshoot/ringing by >40% vs. non-terminated FCT variants |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal D-type register applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY74FCT2574ATSOCTG4 | Slower 6.5 ns propagation delay; identical pinout, package, and Ioff support | Better suited for cost-sensitive designs where 250-MHz switching is not required | Select when lower dynamic power or relaxed timing margins are acceptable |
| SN74FCT574NSR | Same function but no integrated 25-Ω termination; higher VOH (3.5 V typical); different pin mapping (inputs/outputs interleaved) | Requires external series resistors for noise control; less optimal for high-noise industrial environments | Choose only if board space allows discrete termination or legacy design reuse is mandatory |
Compared with CY74FCT2574ATSOCTG4, the 74FCT2574CTSOCTG4 offers faster timing for high-throughput bus systems; versus SN74FCT574NSR, it provides superior signal integrity via monolithic termination and input/output physical separation-reducing layout complexity and improving noise immunity without added BOM cost.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the 74FCT2574CTSOCTG4?
The 74FCT2574CTSOCTG4 supports a typical switching rate of 250 MHz, derived from its 5.2 ns maximum propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL) and tight 1.5 ns setup/1 ns hold timing window. This enables reliable operation in high-speed synchronous bus architectures where clock periods exceed 4 ns, provided PCB layout adheres to controlled-impedance routing and proper decoupling.
Does the 74FCT2574CTSOCTG4 require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on unused inputs?
Yes - per TI's recommended operating conditions, all unused inputs of the 74FCT2574CTSOCTG4 must be held at either VCC or GND to ensure predictable logic states and prevent floating-node-induced current leakage or oscillation. Leaving inputs unconnected may cause increased ICC, erratic output behavior, or accelerated device aging due to undefined internal node voltages.
How does the Ioff feature of the 74FCT2574CTSOCTG4 protect the system during partial power-down?
The Ioff feature in the 74FCT2574CTSOCTG4 disables all outputs when VCC = 0 V, limiting leakage current to ±1 µA regardless of signal levels applied to I/O pins. This prevents damaging reverse current flow from powered sections of the bus into the unpowered device - a critical safeguard in hot-pluggable modules, multi-rail power systems, and systems with staggered power sequencing.
Can the 74FCT2574CTSOCTG4 drive standard TTL loads directly without buffer amplification?
Yes - the 74FCT2574CTSOCTG4 delivers ±15 mA output drive (12 mA sink / 15 mA source), exceeding the ±0.4 mA requirement of standard TTL inputs. Its VOH (min 2.4 V at –15 mA) and VOL (max 0.55 V at 12 mA) meet TTL voltage thresholds, allowing direct fan-out to up to 10 standard TTL loads per output without external buffers or level translators.
What is the significance of the 25-Ω output series resistance in the 74FCT2574CTSOCTG4?
The 25-Ω on-die series resistance in the 74FCT2574CTSOCTG4 acts as source termination for transmission lines, reducing signal reflections caused by impedance mismatches on PCB traces. This improves waveform fidelity, lowers EMI emissions, and increases timing margin - particularly beneficial in point-to-multipoint bus topologies or longer (>10 cm) trace runs where unterminated drivers would exhibit overshoot, ringing, or false triggering.
