Product details
Overview
SN10KHT5574DW from Texas Instruments is an octal ECL-to-TTL translator with edge-triggered D-type flip-flops, 24-pin SOIC (DW) package, 0°C to 75°C operating range, and 300 MHz maximum clock frequency. It enables high-speed CPU/bus interface functions including memory-address drivers, clock distribution, and bidirectional bus transceivers in mixed-signal systems.
For engineers reviewing the SN10KHT5574DW datasheet, SN10KHT5574DW pinout, SN10KHT5574DW application, or SN10KHT5574DW equivalent, key selection criteria include ECL/TTL level translation capability, output-enable-controlled high-impedance state, flow-through PCB layout architecture, and −5.2 V ECL supply compatibility.
Technical Context
The SN10KHT5574DW integrates eight independent D-type flip-flops with synchronous positive-edge clocking and TTL-compatible output-enable control. Its dual-supply operation uses VCC = 5 V (TTL) and VEE = −5.2 V (ECL), supporting −1130 mV to −810 mV ECL high-level inputs and −1950 mV to −1450 mV low-level inputs across temperature.
It delivers 48 mA low-level output drive and supports 200–300 MHz operation with tPLH/tPHL propagation delays of 2.3–7 ns. The device maintains internal flip-flop state during OE assertion, enabling data retention while outputs are tri-stated - critical for bus arbitration and hot-swap signaling.
Key Specifications

| Supply Voltages | VCC = 4.5–5.5 V (TTL), VEE = −4.94 to −5.46 V (ECL) |
| Max Clock Frequency | 300 MHz - supports high-speed CPU/bus timing in legacy ECL systems |
| Propagation Delay | tPLH = 2.3–7 ns - enables sub-ns timing margin for 200+ MHz synchronous designs |

Pinout & Package
SN10KHT5574DW is housed in a 24-pin Small Outline Integrated Circuit (SOIC) package with 300-mil body width and gull-wing leads. Pin spacing is 0.050 inch (1.27 mm), and thermal pad is not present. The center-pin configuration (VCC, GND, GND, GND, VEE) minimizes high-speed switching noise.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 | D1–D8 Data Inputs (ECL) | ECL-level data inputs referenced to VEE; accept −1950 mV to −810 mV logic levels |
| 9 | CLK (ECL) | Positive-edge triggered ECL clock input; synchronizes all eight flip-flops |
| 10 | OE (TTL) | TTL-level output-enable; active-low, controls all eight Q outputs simultaneously |
| 11–18 | Q1–Q8 Outputs (TTL) | TTL-compatible outputs with 48 mA sink capability and high-impedance state when OE = H |
| 19 | VCC | +5 V TTL supply rail - powers output buffers and internal TTL logic |
| 20, 21, 22 | GND | Three dedicated ground pins - reduce ground bounce and improve signal integrity |
| 23 | VEE | −5.2 V ECL supply rail - powers ECL input receivers and internal bias networks |
| 24 | NC | No-connect pin - electrically isolated; no internal connection or function |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Flow-through pin architecture | Input-to-output signal path runs left-to-right across package - eliminates layer jumps and reduces trace length by up to 40% on dense PCBs |
| Independent data retention during OE assertion | Flip-flop states remain unchanged while outputs are tri-stated - enables seamless bus handoff without clock gating or pipeline stalls |
| Center-pin power/ground layout | VCC, three GND, and VEE occupy central pins (19–24) - lowers inductance and suppresses simultaneous switching noise by >6 dB |
| High-current TTL outputs | 48 mA sink per output - directly drives 50 Ω transmission lines or multiple 74LS loads without external buffers |
| 10KH ECL compatibility | Fully interoperable with TI's 10KH ECL family - matches voltage thresholds, timing margins, and termination requirements |
Applications
| Memory Address Driver | Clock Distribution Hub |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Driving address bus lines from ECL-based CPU core to TTL-compatible memory arrays in mainframe or minicomputer systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Translates ECL address signals to TTL levels while latching via clock edge; provides bus isolation during refresh cycles. Use Value: Eliminates discrete level-shifting resistors and pull-up networks, reducing BOM count by 12 components per channel and improving setup/hold timing margin by 1.8 ns. |
Use Scenario: Distributing synchronized clock signals from an ECL oscillator to multiple TTL logic blocks (e.g., ALU, register file, cache controller). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Acts as a fan-out buffer with edge-aligned output enable - allows dynamic clock gating without skew accumulation. Use Value: Delivers <7 ns max skew across eight outputs at 250 MHz, enabling deterministic timing closure in pipelined architectures. |
| Bus-Oriented Receiver | Bus-Oriented Transmitter |
|
Use Scenario: Receiving ECL data from backplane or I/O module and presenting TTL-level signals to local processor bus. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Synchronizes asynchronous ECL data into local clock domain; tri-states outputs during bus arbitration. Use Value: Supports hot-plug detection via OE-controlled high-Z state - prevents bus contention during module insertion/removal. |
Use Scenario: Transmitting TTL data from processor to ECL peripherals (e.g., high-speed ADCs, DACs, or RF front-ends). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Converts and latches TTL data for ECL consumption; isolates processor bus during idle periods. Use Value: Enables bidirectional protocol bridging without external direction control logic - reduces interface latency by one clock cycle. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN10KHT5574N | 24-pin PDIP package; identical electrical specs and timing; higher thermal resistance (θJA = 70°C/W vs. 55°C/W) | Suitable for prototyping or through-hole assembly; less suitable for high-density or thermally constrained boards | Select SN10KHT5574N only when manual soldering or socket-based validation is required. |
| MC100ELT24DG | 100EL ECL family; 5 V single supply (no VEE); 3.3 V TTL-compatible outputs; 2.5 ns typical tPD | Designed for newer 3.3 V systems; lacks true −5.2 V ECL input compatibility and 48 mA drive | Choose MC100ELT24DG only when migrating from 10KH to 100EL infrastructure and accepting reduced noise immunity. |
Compared with SN10KHT5574N and MC100ELT24DG, the SN10KHT5574DW uniquely combines legacy 10KH ECL input compatibility, 48 mA TTL drive, and SOIC packaging - making it the sole option for space-constrained, high-noise-margin upgrades of vintage ECL/TTL hybrid systems.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the SN10KHT5574DW?
The SN10KHT5574DW is an octal ECL-to-TTL translator with edge-triggered D-type flip-flops and 3-state outputs. It converts −5.2 V ECL logic levels to 5 V TTL levels while providing synchronous latching and bus isolation. Its design enables direct interfacing between legacy ECL CPUs and TTL memory/peripheral subsystems without external level-shifting components.
Does the SN10KHT5574DW support both ECL and TTL supplies simultaneously?
Yes, the SN10KHT5574DW requires two independent supplies: VCC = 4.5–5.5 V for TTL output stages and internal logic, and VEE = −4.94 to −5.46 V for ECL input receivers and biasing. These supplies operate concurrently and are not interchangeable - VCC must be positive relative to GND, and VEE must be negative relative to GND.
How does the output-enable (OE) pin affect internal flip-flop operation in the SN10KHT5574DW?
The OE pin in the SN10KHT5574DW controls only the output drivers - it has no effect on internal D-type flip-flop state or clocking behavior. When OE is high, all Q outputs enter high-impedance mode while flip-flops continue sampling D inputs and updating on CLK edges. This allows data to be loaded or retained independently of bus activity.
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the SN10KHT5574DW?
The SN10KHT5574DW supports a maximum clock frequency of 300 MHz under recommended operating conditions (VCC = 5 V, VEE = −5.2 V, TA = 25°C). At temperature extremes (0°C and 75°C), the guaranteed minimum fmax is 200 MHz. This rating assumes proper termination, controlled impedance routing, and ≤2.5 ns input rise/fall times.
Is the SN10KHT5574DW pin-compatible with other devices in the 10KH family?
The SN10KHT5574DW shares the same 24-pin SOIC (DW) footprint and pinout as SN10KHT5574N and SN10KHT5574J, but differs from non-translator variants like SN10KHT5573 (octal latch) or SN10KHT5575 (octal register with different enable logic). Pin compatibility is limited to members of the SN10KHT5574 variant group - always verify function mapping before substitution.
