Product details
Overview
CY74FCT574ATQCT from Texas Instruments is a high-speed, low-power 8-bit edge-triggered D-type flip-flop register with 3-state outputs, designed for bus-oriented digital systems. It features a flow-through pinout, 64-mA sink / 32-mA source drive strength, Ioff partial-power-down support, and operates across –40°C to +85°C with 4.75–5.25 V supply. It is used in data latching and bus isolation in industrial control backplanes.
For engineers reviewing the CY74FCT574ATQCT datasheet, CY74FCT574ATQCT pinout, CY74FCT574ATQCT application, or CY74FCT574ATQCT equivalent, key selection criteria include propagation delay (≤6.5 ns), 3-state enable timing (tPZH/tPLZ ≤6.5 ns), output drive capability, Ioff compliance, and SSOP-20 package compatibility with legacy FCT logic families.
Technical Context
This device implements eight independent D-type flip-flops sharing a common buffered clock (CP) and output-enable (OE) input. Each flip-flop captures D-input state on the low-to-high CP transition, with setup time (2 ns) and hold time (1.5 ns) specified under TTL-compatible input thresholds.
Its 3-state outputs are controlled exclusively by OE: low enables outputs (O0–O7 reflect stored Q states), high forces high-impedance. The Ioff circuitry actively disables outputs when VCC = 0 V, preventing backflow current during partial power-down - a critical feature for hot-swap and mixed-voltage system designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Function | 8-bit positive-edge-triggered D-type register with 3-state outputs |
| Supply Voltage | 4.75–5.25 V - ensures robust TTL/CMOS interface compatibility and noise margin |
| Propagation Delay (tPLH/tPHL) | 2–6.5 ns - enables reliable operation up to 150+ MHz clock rates in synchronous bus systems |
| Output Drive | 64 mA sink / 32 mA source - supports driving multiple TTL loads or stub-loaded transmission lines |
| Ioff Current | ±1 µA at VCC = 0 V - guarantees safe isolation during partial power-down without external blocking diodes |
| ESD Protection | 2000-V HBM, 200-V MM, 1000-V CDM - meets industrial-grade reliability requirements per JESD22 |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for extended industrial environments including factory automation and telecom infrastructure |
Pinout & Package
Package: SSOP-20 (DBQ), 0.635 mm pitch, body width 5.3 mm, RoHS-compliant NiPdAu lead finish, MSL Level-2-260°C-1 year.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 | D0–D7 Inputs | Asynchronous data inputs to each flip-flop; must meet 2 ns setup / 1.5 ns hold before CP↑ |
| 9 | GND | Ground reference for all logic and output stages; requires low-inductance connection to minimize switching noise |
| 10 | VCC | 5-V supply rail; decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF ceramic) required within 10 mm of this pin |
| 11–18 | O0–O7 Outputs | 3-state buffered outputs; high-impedance when OE = high, otherwise reflect stored Q states |
| 19 | CP | Buffered clock input; positive-edge sensitive; internal Schmitt trigger not present - clean signal required |
| 20 | OE | Active-low output-enable; asynchronous control; does not affect internal flip-flop state when toggled |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Flow-through pinout | Input pins (D0–D7) on left side, output pins (O0–O7) on right side - eliminates layer jumps and reduces PCB trace length in bus layouts |
| Edge-rate control | Internally optimized slew rate - reduces simultaneous switching noise (SSN) and EMI in dense digital systems |
| Matched rise/fall times | tPLH ≈ tPHL - minimizes duty-cycle distortion in clock distribution and data sampling paths |
| TTL-compatible I/O | VIL = 0.8 V, VIH = 2.0 V - interoperates directly with legacy 74LS/74ALS without level shifters |
| Partial-power-down support | Ioff active at VCC = 0 V - enables safe insertion/removal in powered-backplane systems |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Backplane | Test Equipment Data Capture |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Output latch converting burst-mode PC writes into stable, glitch-free control signals for electromechanical components. Use Value: 32-mA source capability drives LED indicators and small solenoids directly; tPZH ≤6.5 ns ensures deterministic response to host command strobes. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 8-bit registered bus interface applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY74FCT574CTQCT | 5.2 ns max propagation delay (vs. 6.5 ns); identical pinout, package, and I/O specs | Better suited for higher-frequency clock domains (>100 MHz) where tighter timing margins are required | Select when system timing budget demands sub-6 ns register delay and board layout supports same SSOP-20 footprint |
| SN74FCT574ATQCT | Same speed grade (6.5 ns), identical electrical specs, but manufactured by TI under standard commercial branding (non-Cypress lineage) | No functional difference; fully interchangeable in new designs and second-source procurement | Preferred for long-term supply continuity and direct TI channel access; identical qualification and documentation |
Compared with CY74FCT574CTQCT, the CY74FCT574ATQCT trades 1.3 ns of timing margin for broader voltage tolerance (4.75–5.25 V vs. 4.5–5.5 V in CY54 variants) and enhanced noise immunity; versus SN74FCT574ATQCT, it offers identical performance but reflects Cypress's original design heritage and legacy qualification path.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by CY74FCT574ATQCT?
The CY74FCT574ATQCT has a maximum propagation delay of 6.5 ns and minimum pulse width of 5 ns, supporting reliable operation up to approximately 150 MHz in well-terminated, low-skew clock distributions. Actual usable frequency depends on board layout, load capacitance, and timing margins - the device is characterized for 250-MHz typical switching rate under ideal conditions per datasheet SCCS073.
Does CY74FCT574ATQCT support hot-swap or partial-power-down operation?
Yes, CY74FCT574ATQCT includes Ioff circuitry that disables outputs when VCC = 0 V, limiting reverse current to ±1 µA. This enables safe insertion into live backplanes and supports partial-power-down modes in mixed-supply systems - a key requirement verified in MIL-PRF-38535-compliant testing for CY54 variants and confirmed for CY74FCT574ATQCT in TI's production data.
What is the pin 1 orientation for CY74FCT574ATQCT in tape-and-reel packaging?
CY74FCT574ATQCT in SSOP-20 (DBQ) tape-and-reel format uses Quadrant Q1 for pin 1 orientation, as documented in TI's Package Materials Information (10-Aug-2026). The sprocket holes and cavity layout align so that pin 1 is located in the upper-left corner of the pocket when the tape is fed in the user direction.
Can CY74FCT574ATQCT be used with 3.3-V logic systems?
No - CY74FCT574ATQCT is a 5-V-only device with recommended VCC of 4.75–5.25 V and TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max). It lacks 3.3-V tolerant inputs or dual-supply capability. For 3.3-V systems, consider TI's SN74LVC574A or similar LVC-family devices instead of CY74FCT574ATQCT.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of CY74FCT574ATQCT in its SSOP-20 package?
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance θJA for CY74FCT574ATQCT in the SSOP-20 (DBQ) package is 68°C/W, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table of SCCS073. This value assumes standard JEDEC 2-layer board conditions (1-inch² copper pad); actual thermal performance improves with added copper area or thermal vias beneath the exposed pad region.
