Product details
Overview
CD74HCT574M from Texas Instruments is an octal D-type flip-flop with 3-state outputs, positive-edge clock triggering, and LSTTL-compatible inputs. It operates at 4.5–5.5 V, delivers 15 ns typical propagation delay (VCC = 5 V, CL = 15 pF), supports –55°C to +125°C operation, and drives up to 15 LSTTL loads - used in bus-oriented data latching and interface isolation in industrial control backplanes.
For engineers reviewing the CD74HCT574M datasheet, CD74HCT574M pinout, CD74HCT574M application, or CD74HCT574M equivalent, this page provides verified functional identity, SOIC-20 package mapping, timing parameters under HCT logic family conditions, and validated alternative options for bus-hold and level-shifted digital interfacing.
Technical Context
The CD74HCT574M implements eight independent edge-triggered D flip-flops sharing a common 3-state output enable (OE) control. Data is latched on the rising edge of clock (CP), and OE operates asynchronously - when high, all Q outputs enter high-impedance state regardless of clock or data state.
Its HCT logic family ensures direct compatibility with LSTTL input thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.0 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V at VCC = 5 V), while maintaining CMOS-level power efficiency and noise immunity (NIL/NIH = 30% of VCC). Propagation delay, setup/hold times, and output transition characteristics are specified across full temperature and voltage ranges.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Family | HCT - TTL-compatible input thresholds, CMOS power efficiency, 4.5–5.5 V supply |
| Function | Octal D-type flip-flop with 3-state outputs, positive-edge triggered |
| Propagation Delay | 15 ns typical (VCC = 5 V, CL = 15 pF) - enables reliable 60 MHz bus operation |
| Operating Temperature | –55°C to +125°C - qualified for extended industrial and harsh-environment use |
| Output Drive | 15 LSTTL loads - sufficient for direct termination of standard 5 V bus lines |
| Input Leakage | ±1 μA max (VCC = 5.5 V) - negligible loading on upstream drivers |
| Quiescent Current | 160 μA max (–55°C to +125°C) - ultra-low static power for always-on systems |
Pinout & Package
CD74HCT574M is housed in a 20-pin SOIC (DW) package measuring 12.80 mm × 7.50 mm, with standard 1.27 mm pitch and gull-wing leads suitable for reflow assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (CP) | Clock input | Rising-edge trigger for all eight D-to-Q registers; synchronous latching point |
| 2–9 (D0–D7) | Data inputs | Asynchronous parallel data inputs; sampled only on CP rising edge |
| 11–18 (Q0–Q7) | 3-state outputs | Registered outputs; high-impedance when OE = HIGH, driven otherwise |
| 19 (OE) | Output enable | Active-low control (LOW = outputs enabled); asynchronous, overrides register state |
| 10, 20 (GND, VCC) | Power terminals | Single-supply operation; requires local 0.1 µF bypass capacitor per VCC pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 3-State Output Enable | Single OE pin controls all eight outputs independently of clock/data - enables clean bus sharing without contention |
| LSTTL Input Compatibility | VIH ≥ 2.0 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V at VCC = 5 V - eliminates need for level-shifting when interfacing legacy TTL systems |
| High Noise Immunity | NIL/NIH = 30% of VCC - robust against ground bounce and EMI in noisy industrial environments |
| Wide Temperature Range | –55°C to +125°C operation - supports deployment in automotive engine bays and outdoor infrastructure |
| Low Power Consumption | 160 μA max ICC over full temp range - reduces thermal load and simplifies power budgeting in dense logic designs |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal D-type latch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74HCT574N | Same HCT logic family, identical electrical specs, but in PDIP-20 package (25.4 mm × 6.35 mm) | Through-hole prototyping and legacy board repair; lacks SOIC's space and thermal advantages | Select when manual soldering, breadboarding, or backward compatibility with existing through-hole layouts is required |
| CD74HCT574PWR | Identical function and specs, but in TSSOP-20 package (6.5 mm × 4.4 mm), 45% smaller footprint | High-density PCBs where board area is constrained; requires fine-pitch reflow process | Select for space-constrained industrial modules or portable instrumentation requiring minimal real estate |
Compared with SN74HCT574N and CD74HCT574PWR, the CD74HCT574M offers optimal balance of surface-mount reliability, thermal performance (RθJA = 109.1°C/W), and manufacturability in SOIC - making it preferred for volume production of ruggedized embedded controllers.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the CD74HCT574M?
The CD74HCT574M supports a maximum clock frequency of 60 MHz under recommended operating conditions (VCC = 5 V, CL = 15 pF, TA = 25°C). At full temperature range (–55°C to +125°C), the guaranteed fMAX is 20 MHz - verified per TI's SCHS183E datasheet Section 5.5. This makes CD74HCT574M suitable for high-speed data capture in industrial automation interfaces.
Does the CD74HCT574M require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on unused inputs?
Yes - all unused inputs on the CD74HCT574M must be tied to a defined logic level (VCC or GND) to prevent floating states that cause increased power consumption and potential logic errors. TI's datasheet Section 9.1 explicitly mandates this practice. Leaving D0–D7, CP, or OE unconnected risks undefined behavior and violates recommended layout guidelines for the CD74HCT574M.
How does the CD74HCT574M differ from the CD74HC574M?
The CD74HCT574M uses TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.0 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V), enabling direct connection to LSTTL outputs without level shifters. In contrast, the CD74HC574M uses CMOS thresholds (VIH = 3.15 V at VCC = 4.5 V), requiring compatible CMOS drivers. Both share identical pinout, 3-state outputs, and SOIC-20 packaging - but CD74HCT574M is selected when interfacing legacy TTL systems.
What is the thermal resistance (RθJA) of the CD74HCT574M in its SOIC package?
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of the CD74HCT574M in SOIC (DW) package is 109.1°C/W, as specified in TI's SCHS183E datasheet Section 5.3. This value assumes standard JEDEC 2-layer board conditions and confirms suitability for convection-cooled industrial applications without forced airflow or heatsinking.
Can the CD74HCT574M be used in automotive applications?
The standard CD74HCT574M is not AEC-Q100 qualified; however, TI offers the pin-compatible CD74HCT574-Q1 variant rated for automotive use (–40°C to +125°C, AEC-Q100 Grade 1). For non-safety-critical automotive body electronics where qualification is not mandated, CD74HCT574M may be deployed - but design validation must confirm compliance with vehicle-specific EMC and lifetime requirements.
