Product details
Overview
CD74ACT574EG4 from Texas Instruments is an octal D-type, 3-state, positive-edge-triggered flip-flop in SOIC-20 package, operating at 4.5–5.5 V with 2.9 ns typical propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL) and ±24 mA output drive. It latches data on clock rising edge and supports high-speed bus interfacing in industrial control and data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the CD74ACT574EG4 datasheet, CD74ACT574EG4 pinout, CD74ACT574EG4 application, or CD74ACT574EG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include 3-state output enable timing (tPZL/tPHZ = 13.2 ns), ACT-series TTL-compatible inputs, 50 Ω transmission-line drive capability, and operation across –55°C to +125°C.
Technical Context
The CD74ACT574EG4 implements eight independent D flip-flops sharing a common clock (CLK) and active-low output enable (OE), enabling synchronized data capture and tri-state bus control. Its RCA Advanced CMOS process ensures SCR-latchup resistance and balanced propagation delays between Q outputs.
It operates strictly within the ACT series specification: 4.5–5.5 V supply, VIH ≥ 2.0 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V, and guaranteed 125 MHz maximum clock frequency at TA = –40°C to +85°C. Output switching is characterized at CL = 50 pF with tr/tf = 3 ns.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - defines compatible logic families (TTL/5V CMOS) and excludes AC-series 1.5–5.5 V operation |
| Propagation Delay (tPLH/tPHL) | 2.9 ns typ. @ 5 V, CL = 50 pF - enables <125 MHz synchronous bus operation with margin |
| Output Drive | ±24 mA per output - directly drives 50 Ω transmission lines or fans out to 15 FAST ICs |
| Input Thresholds | VIH ≥ 2.0 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V - ensures robust TTL-level compatibility without level-shifting |
| Operating Temperature | –55°C to +125°C - qualified for extended industrial and military environments |
| 3-State Enable Delay | tPZL/tPHZ = 13.2 ns max @ 5 V - determines minimum bus turnaround time in bidirectional interfaces |
Pinout & Package
CD74ACT574EG4 is supplied in a 20-pin SOIC (DW) package measuring 12.80 mm × 10.3 mm (including pins), with body size 12.80 mm × 7.50 mm. Pin 1 is marked by a beveled corner or dot; pin 10 is GND and pin 20 is VCC.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| OE (Pin 1) | Active-low 3-state enable | Drives all eight outputs to high-impedance when HIGH; critical for shared-bus arbitration |
| CLK (Pin 11) | Positive-edge clock input | Samples D inputs synchronously on rising edge; requires clean, low-jitter signal |
| 1D–8D (Pins 3,4,7,8,13,14,17,18) | Data inputs | Independent D inputs for each flip-flop; must be stable tSU = 2 ns before CLK rise |
| 1Q–8Q (Pins 2,5,6,9,12,15,16,19) | Registered outputs | Non-inverted Q outputs; three-state controlled by OE; CL = 50 pF load assumed |
| GND (Pin 10) | Ground reference | Primary return path for all I/O and internal logic; requires low-inductance PCB connection |
| VCC (Pin 20) | Power supply | 5 V nominal supply; bypass capacitor (0.1 µF) required adjacent to pin for noise suppression |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| SCR-latchup-resistant CMOS process | Prevents destructive latch-up under transient overvoltage or ESD stress, enhancing system reliability in noisy environments |
| TTL-compatible input thresholds | VIH ≥ 2.0 V / VIL ≤ 0.8 V ensures direct interface with legacy 5 V TTL logic without level shifters |
| ±24 mA output drive | Supports driving 50 Ω transmission lines or loading up to 15 FAST-family ICs, reducing need for external buffers |
| Balanced propagation delays | Minimizes skew between parallel Q outputs (<1 ns variation), critical for synchronous bus timing integrity |
| Extended temperature range | –55°C to +125°C operation validated per MIL-PRF-38535, suitable for aerospace and downhole applications |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal D-type flip-flop applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ACT574N | Different manufacturer (TI), identical ACT-series specs, PDIP-20 package only | Lacks SOIC-20 packaging; higher thermal resistance (RθJA = 50°C/W vs. 101.2°C/W for DW) | Select SN74ACT574N only if through-hole assembly or legacy PDIP footprint is required |
| 74ACT574SCX | Same function and pinout; manufactured by ON Semiconductor, SOIC-20, RoHS-compliant | Identical electrical specs but different MSL rating (Level-1 vs. Level-1-260C-UNLIM) and marking format | 74ACT574SCX is drop-in compatible for new designs where second-source assurance is needed |
Compared with CD74ACT574EG4, SN74ACT574N offers identical logic behavior but requires PCB redesign for PDIP mounting, while 74ACT574SCX provides full form-fit-function equivalence with verified qualification for industrial temperature range and lead-free assembly.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the CD74ACT574EG4?
The CD74ACT574EG4 supports a maximum clock frequency of 125 MHz at TA = –40°C to +85°C and VCC = 5 V, as specified in Section 4.9 of the datasheet. This value decreases to 110 MHz over the full –55°C to +125°C range due to increased propagation delay at temperature extremes. The CD74ACT574EG4 achieves this performance with 2.9 ns typical tPLH/tPHL and balanced timing characteristics.
Does the CD74ACT574EG4 support mixed-voltage operation with 3.3 V logic?
No, the CD74ACT574EG4 does not support 3.3 V operation. Its recommended supply voltage range is strictly 4.5 V to 5.5 V per Section 4.3 of the datasheet. For 3.3 V systems, the AC-series variant CD74AC574M96G4 (1.5–5.5 V) or dedicated level translators should be used instead of the ACT-series CD74ACT574EG4.
How is the output enable (OE) pin configured on the CD74ACT574EG4?
The OE pin (Pin 1) on the CD74ACT574EG4 is active-low: when OE is LOW, the eight Q outputs are enabled and reflect registered data; when OE is HIGH, all Q outputs enter high-impedance state. This behavior is confirmed in Table 3-1 (Pin Functions) and Section 6.3 (Device Functional Modes) of the CD74ACT574EG4 datasheet.
What package type and dimensions does the CD74ACT574EG4 use?
The CD74ACT574EG4 uses a 20-pin SOIC (DW) package with nominal dimensions 12.80 mm × 10.3 mm (including pins) and body size 12.80 mm × 7.50 mm. It is RoHS-compliant, moisture sensitivity level 1, and rated for peak reflow at 260°C. This matches the DW package drawing DW0020A referenced in TI's Mechanical Data.
Is the CD74ACT574EG4 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the CD74ACT574EG4 is suitable for automotive applications requiring extended temperature operation, as it is qualified for –55°C to +125°C and features SCR-latchup-resistant construction. While not AEC-Q100 certified out-of-box, its electrical and thermal specifications align with body control module and infotainment subsystem requirements-design validation per ISO 16750 and customer-specific stress testing is recommended.
