Product details
Overview
SN10KHT5574NT from Texas Instruments is an octal ECL-to-TTL translator with edge-triggered D-type flip-flops, 24-pin SOIC-NT package, 0°C to 75°C operating range, 200–300 MHz maximum clock frequency, and TTL-compatible output-enable control. It enables high-speed bus interfacing in mixed-signal CPU and memory-address driver systems.
For engineers reviewing the SN10KHT5574NT datasheet, SN10KHT5574NT pinout, SN10KHT5574NT application, or SN10KHT5574NT equivalent, key selection criteria include ECL/TTL level translation capability, flow-through PCB layout support, high-impedance tri-state outputs, and −5.2 V ECL supply compatibility.
Technical Context
The SN10KHT5574NT implements eight independent D-type flip-flops triggered on the positive edge of an ECL clock input, with separate TTL-level OE control enabling synchronous bus isolation. Its dual-supply architecture uses VCC = 4.5–5.5 V (TTL) and VEE = −4.94 to −5.46 V (ECL), supporting direct interface between 10KH ECL logic domains and 5-V TTL buses.
Internal logic retains data during OE assertion, allowing asynchronous data loading while outputs remain high-impedance. The device features center-pin VCC/VEE/GND configuration to minimize switching noise, and its flow-through pinout reduces trace crossovers in dense backplane or motherboard layouts.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Function | Octal ECL-to-TTL translator with D-type flip-flops and tri-state outputs |
| Max clock frequency | 300 MHz - supports high-speed CPU/bus timing in legacy ECL-based systems |
| Supply voltages | VCC = 4.5–5.5 V (TTL), VEE = −4.94 to −5.46 V (ECL) - enables direct dual-rail interfacing |
| Output drive | IOL = 48 mA, IOH = −15 mA - drives standard TTL loads without external pull-ups |
| Operating temperature | 0°C to 75°C - qualified for commercial and industrial computing environments |

Pinout & Package
SN10KHT5574NT is housed in a 24-pin small-outline integrated circuit (SOIC-NT) package with gull-wing leads, 0.025-inch pitch, and center-aligned power/ground pins (pins 12, 13, 14 = GND; pin 11 = VCC; pin 15 = VEE) to suppress simultaneous switching noise.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 | D inputs (1D–8D) | TTL-level data inputs synchronized to CLK↑; accept 0.8 V/2.0 V thresholds |
| 9 | CLK (ECL) | Edge-triggering clock input referenced to VEE; accepts −1950 mV to −735 mV logic swing |
| 10 | OE (TTL) | Active-low output enable; places Q outputs in high-Z without affecting internal flip-flop state |
| 11 | VCC | +5 V TTL supply rail; center-positioned to reduce power distribution inductance |
| 12, 13, 14 | GND | Three dedicated ground pins adjacent to VCC/VEE for low-inductance return paths |
| 15 | VEE | −5.2 V ECL supply rail; center-positioned to minimize ECL switching noise coupling |
| 16–23 | Q outputs (1Q–8Q) | TTL-compatible outputs with 48 mA sink / 15 mA source capability; tri-statable via OE |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Flow-through pinout | Input pins on left (1–8, 9, 10), power/ground center (11–15), outputs right (16–23) - eliminates layer jumps in PCB routing |
| Tri-state OE control | OE operates independently of clock and data; preserves internal state while isolating bus lines |
| Center-pin VCC/VEE/GND | Reduces simultaneous switching noise by localizing high-current return paths near supply pins |
| 10KH ECL compatibility | Meets TI's SDZS010 specification for voltage thresholds, timing, and noise immunity in 10KH systems |
| High-density bus interface | Replaces discrete level-shifting + latch combinations in memory-address drivers and clock distribution networks |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN10KHT5574DW | Same die, SOIC-DW package (different lead finish and MSL rating); identical electrical specs and pinout | RoHS-compliant NIPDAU finish; rated for 0°C to 70°C (vs. NT's 0°C to 75°C) | Select SN10KHT5574DW for RoHS-constrained production; verify thermal margin in 70–75°C ambient zones. |
| MC100ELT24DG | ECL-to-CMOS/TTL translator with differential ECL inputs; no internal D-flip-flops; 3.3 V/5 V tolerant outputs | Requires external clock conditioning; lacks synchronous latch function; suited for point-to-point links vs. bus driving | Choose MC100ELT24DG only when differential ECL input rejection or 3.3 V compatibility is required over latch functionality. |
Compared with SN10KHT5574DW and MC100ELT24DG, the SN10KHT5574NT uniquely combines ECL clock synchronization, TTL-compatible latching, and 75°C operation in a single 24-pin SOIC-making it irreplaceable for legacy high-temperature bus interface designs requiring guaranteed timing margins.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the SN10KHT5574NT?
The SN10KHT5574NT is characterized for operation from 0°C to 75°C, making it suitable for industrial computing environments where ambient temperatures exceed standard commercial-grade limits. This 75°C upper bound exceeds the 70°C rating of the pin-compatible SN10KHT5574DW variant and aligns with legacy mainframe and telecom chassis thermal profiles.
Does the SN10KHT5574NT support true tri-state operation?
Yes, the SN10KHT5574NT provides true high-impedance tri-state outputs via its TTL-level OE input. When OE is high, all eight Q outputs enter a high-Z state with leakage current ≤ ±50 µA, eliminating bus loading without affecting internal D-flip-flop states. This allows concurrent data loading and bus isolation-critical for dynamic bus arbitration in CPU/memory systems.
What are the valid voltage ranges for VCC and VEE on the SN10KHT5574NT?
The SN10KHT5574NT requires VCC = 4.5 V to 5.5 V for TTL logic operation and VEE = −4.94 V to −5.46 V for ECL interface compliance. These ranges ensure correct threshold referencing for both input families: TTL inputs meet 0.8 V/2.0 V VIH/VIL, while ECL inputs accept −1950 mV to −735 mV swings per SDZS010 specification.
How does the flow-through pinout of the SN10KHT5574NT improve PCB layout?
The SN10KHT5574NT's flow-through architecture positions D inputs (pins 1–8), CLK/OE (9–10), power/ground (11–15), and Q outputs (16–23) in linear sequence. This allows straight trace routing from left to right-eliminating vias, layer changes, and stubs in high-speed bus layouts-and directly reduces signal skew and crosstalk in dense motherboard or backplane designs.
Can the SN10KHT5574NT be used with modern 3.3 V systems?
No, the SN10KHT5574NT is not compatible with 3.3 V systems. It requires 5 V TTL-level inputs/outputs and −5.2 V ECL supply rails. Its VIH/VIL thresholds (2.0 V/0.8 V) and VOL/VOH specifications (0.55 V/3.3 V) are defined strictly for 5 V operation. Interfacing to 3.3 V logic would require external level-shifting circuitry and invalidate timing guarantees.
