Product details
Overview
SN74AC564NSRE4 from Texas Instruments is an octal D-type edge-triggered flip-flop with inverting 3-state outputs, designed for bus interface and register applications. It operates across 2V–6V VCC, delivers ≤9ns propagation delay at 5V, supports rising-edge clock triggering, and drives capacitive or low-impedance loads directly-used in I/O port buffering and bidirectional data bus control.
For engineers reviewing the SN74AC564NSRE4 datasheet, SN74AC564NSRE4 pinout, SN74AC564NSRE4 application, or SN74AC564NSRE4 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 20-pin SSOP package, 3-state inverting output architecture, 5V/3.3V timing compatibility, and flow-through pin layout optimized for PCB signal integrity in high-density digital systems.
Technical Context
The SN74AC564NSRE4 implements eight independent D-type flip-flops sharing a common rising-edge-triggered clock (CLK) and active-low output-enable (OE) control. Each Q output is the logical inverse of its corresponding D input on CLK's positive transition, enabling synchronous data latching with polarity inversion.
Its 3-state outputs are fully decoupled from internal logic when OE is high, allowing bus contention-free operation without pull-up components. The device maintains functional integrity across −40°C to +85°C and supports mixed-voltage interfacing via 6V-tolerant inputs-even when VCC = 2V-enabling direct connection to legacy 5V logic while powered from 3.3V rails.
Key Specifications

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OE) | Active-low output enable | Global control for all eight Q outputs; high = high-impedance state, low = enabled/inverted output |
| 2–9 (D1–D8) | Data inputs | Asynchronous inputs latched on CLK rising edge; each inverted at corresponding Q output |
| 10 (GND) | Ground reference | Primary return path for logic and output current; requires local 0.1 µF bypass capacitor |
| 11 (CLK) | Clock input | Rising-edge sensitive; synchronizes all eight flip-flops simultaneously with minimal skew |
| 12–19 (Q8–Q1) | Inverting 3-state outputs | Output order is reverse-pin-mapped (Q8 on pin 12, Q1 on pin 19); OE controls bus drive state |
| 20 (VCC) | Positive supply | Single power rail supporting 2–6 V; must be decoupled near pin with low-ESR ceramic capacitor |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Flow-through pin architecture | Input pins (D1–D8) on left side, outputs (Q8–Q1) on right side - minimizes trace crossovers and improves PCB routing efficiency |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal D-type flip-flop applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ACT564N | ACT family: higher drive (±24 mA @ 3.3V), tighter AC specs, but narrower VCC range (4.5–5.5 V) | Requires strict 5V supply; unsuitable for mixed-voltage or low-power 3.3V-only designs | Select only if operating exclusively at 5V with need for enhanced noise margin and speed |
| 74LVC574APW | LVC family: 1.65–3.6 V VCC, non-inverting outputs, lower power, but no 6V-tolerant inputs | Cannot interface directly to 5V logic without level translation; lacks inverting functionality | Prefer for battery-powered 3.3V systems where power efficiency and small size outweigh voltage flexibility |
Compared with SN74AC564NSRE4, SN74ACT564N offers superior noise immunity at 5V but sacrifices voltage-range versatility, while 74LVC574APW reduces power and size at the cost of input tolerance and output polarity-making SN74AC564NSRE4 the optimal choice for industrial mixed-voltage bus interface where robustness and design simplicity are prioritized.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the SN74AC564NSRE4 at 5V?
The SN74AC564NSRE4 supports a maximum clock frequency of 95 MHz at VCC = 5 V ± 0.5 V under recommended operating conditions. This specification is validated at TA = 25°C and assumes proper load conditions (CL = 50 pF) and clean power delivery with local bypassing. At full industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C), the guaranteed minimum fclock is 85 MHz per TI's switching characteristics table. The SN74AC564NSRE4 achieves this performance through advanced AC logic design with tightly controlled internal propagation delays.
Does the SN74AC564NSRE4 require external pull-up resistors on the OE pin?
Yes-the SN74AC564NSRE4 requires a pull-up resistor on the OE pin during power-up and power-down to guarantee a defined high-impedance state. TI specifies that OE must be tied to VCC through a pull-up resistor whose minimum value is determined by the current-sinking capability of the driving source; typical values range from 4.7 kΩ to 10 kΩ. Without this, undefined output states may occur during supply ramping, risking bus contention. This requirement applies specifically to the SN74AC564NSRE4 due to its internal OE logic structure and is documented in Section 6.1 of the datasheet.
Can the SN74AC564NSRE4 operate reliably at 3.3V with 5V-tolerant inputs?
Yes-the SN74AC564NSRE4 operates reliably at VCC = 3.3 V while accepting input voltages up to 6 V on all D and CLK pins. Its 6V-tolerant inputs are explicitly rated per Absolute Maximum Ratings (VI = −0.5 V to VCC + 0.5 V, with VCC as low as 2 V), enabling direct connection to 5V logic without external level-shifting circuitry. At 3.3V, the SN74AC564NSRE4 delivers 75 MHz maximum clock frequency and 14 ns max tPLH/tPHL, maintaining full functionality and timing compliance per TI's 4.5 and 4.7 sections.
What is the thermal resistance (RθJA) of the SN74AC564NSRE4 in its SSOP package?
The SN74AC564NSRE4 in the DB (SSOP-20) package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 70 °C/W, as specified in Section 4.3 of the datasheet. This value assumes standard JEDEC 2-layer board conditions (1-inch² copper pad, 2 oz Cu). Actual thermal performance depends on PCB layout-TI recommends using internal ground/power planes and thermal vias beneath the exposed pad (if present) to improve heat dissipation. The SN74AC564NSRE4's low ICC (≤40 µA) minimizes self-heating, making RθJA primarily relevant for high-output-current transient conditions.
How does the flow-through architecture of the SN74AC564NSRE4 benefit PCB layout?
The flow-through architecture of the SN74AC564NSRE4 places all eight D inputs on pins 2–9 (left side) and all eight inverted Q outputs on pins 12–19 (right side), with CLK (pin 11) and OE (pin 1) positioned to minimize signal crossing. This arrangement enables straight, short, parallel traces-reducing crosstalk, impedance discontinuities, and routing congestion in dense layouts. TI confirms this layout optimization in Section 1, noting that it eliminates the need for "U-turn" routing common in traditional dual-inline packages. For the SN74AC564NSRE4, this directly translates to improved signal integrity in high-speed digital backplanes and test equipment interfaces.
