Product details
Overview
SN100KT5574DW from Texas Instruments is an octal ECL-to-TTL translator with edge-triggered D-type flip-flops, 100K ECL compatibility, TTL control inputs, and high-impedance output-enable (OE) functionality. It operates from 0°C to 85°C with VCC = 4.5–5.5 V and VEE = −4.2 to −4.8 V, enabling bus-oriented CPU functions like memory-address drivers and clock distribution in mixed-signal systems.
For engineers reviewing the SN100KT5574DW datasheet, SN100KT5574DW pinout, SN100KT5574DW application, or SN100KT5574DW equivalent, key selection considerations include ECL/TTL level translation capability, flow-through PCB layout optimization, center-pin power/ground configuration for noise suppression, and 200–300 MHz maximum operating frequency under load.
Technical Context
The SN100KT5574DW implements eight independent edge-triggered D-type flip-flops synchronized to the positive transition of an ECL clock input. Its dual-supply architecture uses separate VCC (TTL logic), VEE (ECL logic), and GND rails, with dedicated ECL-level inputs (CLK, D1–D8) and TTL-level outputs (Q1–Q8).
Output-enable (OE) is a buffered TTL input that places all eight outputs in high-impedance state without affecting internal flip-flop operation-enabling data retention or new loading while outputs are disabled. The device features flow-through pinout and center-pin VCC/VEE/GND placement to minimize switching noise and simplify high-speed PCB routing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - supports standard TTL supply tolerance and ensures robust logic-high output voltage (VOH ≥ 2.4 V at −3 mA) |
| VEE Range | −4.2 V to −4.8 V - matches 100K ECL logic thresholds (VIH = −1150 mV, VIL = −1810 mV) |
| fmax | 200–300 MHz - defines maximum reliable clock rate for synchronous bus interface applications |
| tPLH / tPHL | 2.3–7 ns / 2.9–7.4 ns - determines minimum pulse-width and setup/hold timing margins in high-speed address/data paths |
| IOL / IOH | 48 mA / −15 mA - enables direct drive of multiple TTL loads without external pull-ups or buffers |
| IOZH / IOZL | ±50 µA - specifies leakage current in high-impedance state, critical for bus contention avoidance |
| Operating Temp | 0°C to 85°C - qualifies for commercial-grade industrial control and computing environments |
Pinout & Package
DW package is a 24-pin SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) with gull-wing leads, 300-mil body width, and center-pin power/ground configuration (Pins 13–15: GND, GND, GND; Pin 16: VCC; Pin 23: VEE) to reduce ground bounce and improve signal integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1D–8D | ECL data inputs | Accept −1810 mV to −840 mV logic levels; require ECL-compatible source termination |
| CLK | ECL clock input | Edge-triggered on rising transition; referenced to VEE, not GND |
| OE | TTL output-enable input | Active-low TTL control (0.8 V max low, 2 V min high); does not affect internal flip-flop state |
| 1Q–8Q | TTL outputs | Drive standard TTL loads; support high-impedance state when OE = high |
| VCC | TTL supply | Powers output stage and TTL interface circuitry; decoupling required near Pin 16 |
| VEE | ECL supply | Negative rail for ECL input stage and internal biasing; requires clean −4.5 V ±0.3 V |
| GND | Signal reference | Three dedicated pins (13,14,15) provide low-inductance return path for both logic domains |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Flow-through architecture | Input pins (D1–D4, CLK, OE) on left side and outputs (Q1–Q4) on right side enable straight PCB trace routing and minimize crosstalk |
| Center-pin VCC/VEE/GND | Reduces simultaneous switching noise by localizing power/ground returns and lowering loop inductance |
| High-impedance OE control | Allows dynamic bus sharing across multiple SN100KT5574DW devices without external tri-state logic or arbitration circuitry |
| 100K ECL compatibility | Meets TI's 100K ECL family voltage thresholds and timing specifications, ensuring interoperability with SN100K-series drivers and receivers |
| Independent data retention | Flip-flop state remains valid during OE assertion, enabling glitch-free bus handoff between controllers |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ECL-to-TTL translation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN100K5574DW | Same pinout and function but lacks OE control; outputs always active | Not suitable for shared-bus systems requiring tri-state capability | Select SN100KT5574DW when dynamic bus arbitration or multi-drop topology is required |
| MC100ELT24DG | 100EL ECL-to-TTL translator with differential ECL inputs and 3.3 V TTL outputs; no internal flip-flops | Used for asynchronous level shift only-not for clocked data latching | Choose SN100KT5574DW when edge-triggered storage and synchronous bus timing are mandatory |
Compared with SN100K5574DW and MC100ELT24DG, the SN100KT5574DW uniquely combines ECL clocked storage, TTL-compatible outputs, and programmable tri-state control in a single 24-pin SOIC-making it irreplaceable for synchronous, multi-master bus architectures requiring deterministic timing and noise resilience.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the SN100KT5574DW?
The SN100KT5574DW is an octal ECL-to-TTL translator with integrated edge-triggered D-type flip-flops. It converts 100K ECL-level signals (CLK, D1–D8) into TTL-compatible outputs (Q1–Q8), supports high-impedance tri-state control via OE, and is optimized for synchronous bus interfaces in mixed-signal computing systems. Its design enables direct replacement of discrete level-shifting and latching circuits.
Does the SN100KT5574DW support both ECL and TTL supplies simultaneously?
Yes, the SN100KT5574DW requires two independent supplies: VCC (4.5–5.5 V) for TTL output logic and VEE (−4.2 to −4.8 V) for ECL input logic. GND serves as the common reference. This dual-rail architecture allows true ECL/TTL domain bridging without level-shifter ICs or resistive networks, and the center-pin GND placement minimizes noise coupling between domains.
How does the output-enable (OE) pin affect internal operation of the SN100KT5574DW?
The OE pin on the SN100KT5574DW controls only the output drivers-it has no effect on internal flip-flop state or clocked data capture. When OE is high (TTL high), all Q outputs enter high-impedance mode regardless of stored data. Data remains latched and can be updated or retained during OE assertion, enabling glitch-free bus arbitration and hot-swappable module designs using the SN100KT5574DW.
What is the maximum operating frequency of the SN100KT5574DW?
The SN100KT5574DW is characterized for fmax = 200–300 MHz under recommended conditions (CL = 50 pF, R1/R2 = 500 Ω). This rating reflects guaranteed operation across temperature and voltage ranges, supporting high-speed CPU bus and memory interface applications. Timing parameters such as tPLH (2.3–7 ns) and tPHL (2.9–7.4 ns) are specified to ensure setup/hold compliance at these frequencies.
Is the SN100KT5574DW compatible with modern PCB assembly processes?
Yes, the SN100KT5574DW in DW (SOIC-24) package is compatible with standard surface-mount reflow profiles, including lead-free soldering. Its gull-wing leads, 300-mil body width, and JEDEC-standard footprint allow automated placement and inspection. TI's datasheet specifies thermal limits (storage: −65°C to 150°C; operating: 0°C to 85°C), confirming suitability for industrial reflow and long-term reliability in production environments using the SN100KT5574DW.
