Product details
Overview
SN74AC534PW from Texas Instruments is an octal edge-triggered D-type flip-flop with 3-state inverting outputs, designed for bus interface and register applications. It operates across 2V–6V VCC, delivers ≤11ns propagation delay at 5V, supports 150MHz clock frequency, and features input tolerance up to 6V - enabling direct interfacing with mixed-voltage systems in industrial I/O port designs.
For engineers reviewing the SN74AC534PW datasheet, SN74AC534PW pinout, SN74AC534PW application, or SN74AC534PW equivalent, key selection criteria include its 20-pin TSSOP package, 3-state output control via OE, guaranteed timing margins (tsu = 3.5ns, th = 1ns at 5V), and compatibility with capacitive bus loads up to 50pF.
Technical Context
This device implements eight independent D-type latches triggered on the rising edge of CLK, with each Q output inverted relative to its D input. Internal logic ensures synchronous data capture and deterministic state retention during clock transitions.
The buffered OE input enables high-impedance output states without affecting internal flip-flop operation - allowing concurrent data loading or retention while bus lines are isolated. Output drive strength is specified at ±24mA (VCC = 4.5–5.5V), supporting direct connection to standard TTL/CMOS buses.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2V to 6V - supports single-supply operation across 3.3V and 5V logic domains without level shifters |
| Max Propagation Delay (tpd) | 11ns at VCC = 5V - enables reliable operation in high-speed digital control paths up to 150MHz |
| Output Drive (IOL/IOH) | ±24mA at VCC = 5.5V - sufficient to drive 50pF bus capacitance with controlled edge rates |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | Inputs accept up to 6V regardless of VCC - allows safe interfacing with higher-voltage peripherals |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial ambient environments without derating |
| Power Dissipation Capacitance (Cpd) | 40pF at 5V - enables accurate dynamic power estimation in clocked register applications |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-20 (PW) package: 6.50mm × 6.4mm body size, 1.2mm max height, 0.65mm lead pitch, gull-wing leads, pin 1 index area marked.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OE) | Output Enable (active-low) | Assert low to enable 3-state inverting outputs; high-Z state isolates bus without affecting internal latch state |
| 2–9, 12, 15–19 (1Q–8Q) | Inverting outputs | Each Q = NOT(D) after CLK↑; outputs drive bus directly with ±24mA capability |
| 3–4, 7–8, 13–14, 17–18 (1D–8D) | Data inputs | Edge-triggered sampling points; accept 0–6V regardless of VCC level |
| 11 (CLK) | Clock input | Rising-edge sensitive; minimum pulse width 3.5ns at 5V for guaranteed setup/hold compliance |
| 10 (GND) | Ground reference | Return path for all signals and power; requires local 0.1µF bypass capacitor |
| 20 (VCC) | Supply voltage | Primary power rail; must be decoupled within 5mm of pin per TI layout guidelines |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide VCC range (2V–6V) | Eliminates need for separate voltage translators when interfacing 3.3V controllers with 5V peripherals |
| 3-state inverting outputs | Enables bidirectional bus arbitration without external inverters or pull-ups |
| Input overvoltage tolerance (to 6V) | Prevents damage or latch-up when connected to legacy 5V logic driving into 3.3V systems |
| Low propagation delay (11ns @ 5V) | Supports tight timing budgets in real-time I/O expansion modules and programmable logic interfaces |
| High noise immunity (Δt/Δv = 8 ns/V) | Reduces susceptibility to crosstalk-induced glitches on shared PCB traces |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Expansion | Automotive Body Control Module |

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by SN74AC534PW at 5V?
The SN74AC534PW supports a maximum clock frequency of 150MHz at VCC = 5V ± 0.5V under recommended operating conditions. This is validated by timing requirements specifying minimum CLK pulse width of 3.5ns and setup/hold times of 3.5ns/1ns respectively - ensuring reliable edge-triggered operation in high-speed register applications.
Does SN74AC534PW require external pull-up resistors on the OE pin?
Yes, to ensure the outputs remain in high-impedance state during power-up or power-down, SN74AC534PW OE should be tied to VCC through a pull-up resistor. The minimum resistance value depends on the current-sinking capability of the driving source, but TI recommends values that maintain OE > 2.0V during startup transients to prevent bus contention.
Can SN74AC534PW safely interface a 3.3V microcontroller with a 5V peripheral bus?
Yes, SN74AC534PW can safely interface a 3.3V microcontroller with a 5V peripheral bus. Its inputs tolerate up to 6V regardless of VCC, and its 3-state outputs drive 5V-tolerant loads when VCC = 5V. When powered at 3.3V, outputs swing rail-to-rail (0–3.3V), so external level-shifting may be needed for 5V-receiving devices unless they are 3.3V-input-tolerant.
What is the thermal resistance (RθJA) of SN74AC534PW in its TSSOP package?
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of SN74AC534PW in the PW (TSSOP-20) package is 83°C/W, as specified in the Thermal Information table. This value assumes standard JEDEC 2-layer board conditions and guides thermal design for continuous operation at full output drive within the −40°C to +85°C ambient range.
Is SN74AC534PW pin-compatible with other members of the SN74AC534 family?
Yes, SN74AC534PW is functionally and pin-compatible with all other SN74AC534 variants (e.g., DB, DW, NS, N packages). All share identical pin configuration, electrical characteristics, and timing behavior - differing only in mechanical packaging dimensions and thermal performance. The PW variant uses the same 20-pin layout with pin 1 index in the top-left corner.
