Product details
Overview
SN74ABT574AN from Texas Instruments is an octal edge-triggered D-type flip-flop with 3-state outputs, designed for high-drive bus interfacing in industrial and embedded systems. It features ±32-mA/±64-mA output drive, Ioff partial-power-down support, and operates at 5 V over −40°C to 85°C. Used in bidirectional bus drivers and I/O port buffering where robust signal integrity and bus contention avoidance are required.
For engineers reviewing the SN74ABT574AN datasheet, SN74ABT574AN pinout, SN74ABT574AN application, or SN74ABT574AN equivalent, key selection criteria include its 20-pin PDIP package, positive-edge clock triggering, independent output-enable control, and compatibility with TTL-level logic systems requiring high-current sinking/sourcing capability.
Technical Context
This device implements eight synchronous D-type latches triggered on the rising edge of CLK, with each Q output reflecting the corresponding D input state after propagation delay. The buffered OE input controls all eight outputs simultaneously, placing them in high-impedance (Z) state without affecting internal latch operation or data retention.
Its architecture supports partial-power-down via Ioff circuitry that disables outputs when VCC = 0 V, preventing backflow current. Ground bounce (VOLP < 1 V) and latch-up immunity (>500 mA per JESD17) ensure stable operation in noisy, high-capacitance bus environments.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the SN74ABT574AN?
The SN74ABT574AN supports a maximum clock frequency of 150 MHz under recommended operating conditions (VCC = 5 V, TA = 25°C). Its tPLH/tPHL propagation delays are guaranteed ≤ 6.8 ns, enabling reliable operation in high-speed synchronous data paths. At temperature extremes or lower supply voltages, timing margins should be verified using worst-case values from the datasheet.
Does the SN74ABT574AN support hot-swap or partial-power-down operation?
Yes, the SN74ABT574AN includes Ioff circuitry that actively disables all outputs when VCC = 0 V, preventing damaging current backflow during hot-insertion or uncontrolled power sequencing. This feature is explicitly characterized and meets JEDEC JESD78 requirements, making SN74ABT574AN suitable for modular backplane and field-replaceable unit designs.
How does the output-enable (OE) pin behave during power-up?
To ensure outputs remain in high-impedance during power-up or power-down, OE should be tied to VCC through a pullup resistor. The minimum resistor value depends on the driver's current-sinking capability; TI recommends ≥ 4.7 kΩ for typical microcontroller GPIO drivers. This guarantees OE remains high until system logic asserts active-low control, preventing bus contention.
Can the SN74ABT574AN drive standard 50-pF transmission lines directly?
Yes, the SN74ABT574AN is specifically designed for driving highly capacitive loads, with switching characteristics characterized at CL = 50 pF. Its ±64-mA low-state output current and fast tPLZ/tPZL disable times (<7 ns) allow direct connection to unterminated or lightly terminated lines without signal degradation or excessive rise/fall time distortion.
What is the purpose of the ground-bounce specification (VOLP < 1 V) for the SN74ABT574AN?
The VOLP (output ground bounce) specification quantifies voltage noise induced on the GND pin during simultaneous low-to-high output transitions. At <1 V under VCC = 5 V and TA = 25°C, this ensures minimal coupling into shared ground planes - critical for mixed-signal systems where analog sections must remain unaffected by digital switching noise generated by SN74ABT574AN's high-current outputs.
