Product details
Overview
CD74FCT574M from Texas Instruments is a BiCMOS octal edge-triggered D-type flip-flop with noninverted 3-state outputs, designed for bus interface and register applications. It operates at 4.75–5.25 V, supports 70 MHz clock frequency, delivers 48 mA sink current per output, limits VOH to 3.7 V for EMI reduction, and is rated for 0°C to 70°C operation.
For engineers reviewing the CD74FCT574M datasheet, CD74FCT574M pinout, CD74FCT574M application, or CD74FCT574M equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3-state bus-driving capability, controlled output edge rates, SCR latch-up resistance, low quiescent power, and compatibility with TTL-level inputs in 5-V systems.
Technical Context
The CD74FCT574M uses a hybrid BiCMOS process where bipolar transistors enable high-speed switching and CMOS elements reduce static power. Its output stage clamps VOH to ~3.7 V (two diode drops below VCC), minimizing VCC/ground bounce and electromagnetic interference during simultaneous switching.
Each of the eight D-type flip-flops triggers on the low-to-high CLK transition; data is latched synchronously while OE independently controls 3-state output enable/disable. The device features buffered inputs, input/output isolation from VCC, and supports bidirectional bus driving without external logic.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage (VCC) | 4.75 V to 5.25 V - Ensures stable operation within standard 5-V TTL/CMOS system rails. |
| Max Clock Frequency | 70 MHz - Enables high-speed register transfer in data-path and control logic designs. |
| Output Sink Current (IOL) | 48 mA per pin - Drives heavy capacitive loads (e.g., backplane buses) without external buffers. |
| Propagation Delay (tpd) | 2 ns to 10 ns - Supports tight timing margins in synchronous digital systems. |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to 70°C - Qualified for commercial-grade embedded and industrial control applications. |
| Input Clamp Voltage (VIK) | –1.2 V - Protects inputs against negative transients common in noisy bus environments. |
| Power Dissipation Cap. (Cpd) | 34 pF - Predicts dynamic power consumption at 1 MHz with no load, aiding thermal estimation. |
Pinout & Package
CD74FCT574M is housed in a 20-pin SOIC (DW package), 7.5 mm × 12.8 mm body, 2.65 mm max height, with 1.27 mm pitch. Pin 1 is marked by a beveled corner or notch; pin numbering follows standard SOIC convention (counterclockwise from top-left).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OE) | Output Enable | Active-low control: asserts 3-state (high-Z) when high; enables normal Q outputs when low. |
| 2–9 (1D–8D) | Data Inputs | Asynchronous D inputs for each of eight flip-flops; buffered to reject noise and support TTL thresholds. |
| 10 (GND) | Ground Reference | Primary return path for all internal logic and output currents; decoupling critical near this pin. |
| 11 (CLK) | Clock Input | Edge-sensitive input triggering all eight registers simultaneously on rising edge (low-to-high transition). |
| 12–19 (1Q–8Q) | Noninverted Outputs | 3-state, BiCMOS-driven outputs; VOH limited to 3.7 V to suppress ringing and ground bounce. |
| 20 (VCC) | Supply Rail | +5 V supply; isolated from I/O paths to prevent coupling of switching noise into logic core. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| BiCMOS Process | Combines speed of bipolar transistors with low static power of CMOS-enables 70 MHz operation at <80 µA ICC typical quiescent current. |
| Controlled Output Edge Rates | Slower than pure CMOS but faster than standard TTL-reduces EMI without sacrificing setup/hold timing margins. |
| SCR Latch-Up Resistance | Process and layout hardening prevents destructive latch-up under transient overvoltage or ESD events in 5-V systems. |
| Input/Output Isolation from VCC | Prevents supply-line noise from modulating logic thresholds or corrupting output states during heavy switching. |
| Bus-Direct 3-State Drive | Outputs drive PCB traces or backplanes directly-no series termination or level-shifting required in 5-V bus architectures. |
Applications
| Buffer Register | I/O Port Interface |
|---|---|
|

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74F574N | Same function and pinout, but uses standard TTL (not BiCMOS); higher ICC (~60 mA), slower tpd (15 ns), no VOH clamping. | Lacks EMI suppression features; unsuitable for high-density or noise-sensitive layouts. | Choose only if legacy TTL compatibility is mandatory and EMI is not constrained. |
| 74ACT574SCX | Advanced CMOS variant; rail-to-rail VOH/VOL, 12 mA IOL, lower Cpd (22 pF), but no VOH limiting or SCR hardening. | Better power efficiency at low frequencies, but vulnerable to latch-up and bus ringing in high-capacitance loads. | Select when low static power and full-rail swing are prioritized over robustness in noisy 5-V bus environments. |
Compared with SN74F574N and 74ACT574SCX, the CD74FCT574M uniquely balances high-speed bus driving, EMI mitigation via VOH clamping, and latch-up immunity-making it optimal for industrial backplane and legacy-compatible control systems where reliability under transient stress matters.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the CD74FCT574M?
The CD74FCT574M supports a maximum clock frequency of 70 MHz under recommended operating conditions (VCC = 4.75–5.25 V, TA = 0°C to 70°C). This rating is validated by timing parameters including minimum pulse width (7 ns) and propagation delay (2–10 ns), ensuring reliable edge-triggered operation in high-speed digital systems where the CD74FCT574M serves as a synchronous data latch.
Does the CD74FCT574M have true 5-V TTL-compatible inputs?
Yes, the CD74FCT574M accepts TTL-compatible input levels: VIH = 2.0 V min and VIL = 0.8 V max at VCC = 4.75–5.25 V. Its buffered inputs tolerate standard TTL output swings and provide noise margin against ground bounce, making the CD74FCT574M interoperable with legacy 74LS and 74F logic families without level translation.
Why does the CD74FCT574M limit VOH to 3.7 V instead of rail-to-rail?
The CD74FCT574M limits VOH to approximately 3.7 V (two diode drops below VCC) via its BiCMOS output stage to suppress power-bus ringing and minimize VCC/ground bounce during simultaneous switching. This intentional voltage swing reduction lowers EMI and improves signal integrity-especially critical when the CD74FCT574M drives highly capacitive bus lines in dense PCB layouts.
Is the CD74FCT574M pin-compatible with other octal D-type flip-flops like the 74LS374?
No, the CD74FCT574M is not pin-compatible with 74LS374. While both are 20-pin DIP/SOIC octal D flip-flops, the CD74FCT574M places OE on pin 1 and CLK on pin 11, whereas 74LS374 locates CLK on pin 11 but OE on pin 12. Always verify pin mapping using the official CD74FCT574M datasheet before substituting-pinouts differ across logic families even when functions appear similar.
What is the significance of SCR latch-up resistance in the CD74FCT574M?
SCR latch-up resistance in the CD74FCT574M means the device incorporates process-level and circuit-level hardening to prevent parasitic silicon-controlled rectifier conduction during voltage transients or ESD events. This feature ensures the CD74FCT574M remains functional and non-destructive in electrically noisy industrial environments-where unhardened logic devices might fail catastrophically under similar stress.
