Product details
Overview
SN74AC574NSRE4 from Texas Instruments is an octal D-type edge-triggered flip-flop with 3-state outputs, designed for bus-oriented digital systems. It operates across 2V–6V VCC, delivers ≤8.5ns propagation delay at 5V, and features active-low output enable (OE) for bidirectional bus control in I/O port and buffer register applications.
For engineers reviewing the SN74AC574NSRE4 datasheet, SN74AC574NSRE4 pinout, SN74AC574NSRE4 application, or SN74AC574NSRE4 equivalent, this page provides verified functional identity, confirmed 20-pin NS (SOIC) package mapping, timing parameters at 3.3V/5V, 3-state drive capability, and validated alternatives for bus interface design.
Technical Context
The SN74AC574NSRE4 implements eight independent D-type latches triggered on the rising edge of CLK, with synchronous data capture and asynchronous 3-state control via OE. Its CMOS AC logic family ensures TTL-compatible input thresholds and rail-to-rail output swing across the full 2V–6V supply range.
Each channel supports high-impedance output states independent of clock activity, enabling dynamic bus sharing without contention. Input voltage tolerance up to 6V allows interfacing with mixed-voltage systems, while tPLH/tPHL ≤8.5ns at 5V enables reliable operation in 85MHz clock domains.
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 | 8.5ns at VCC = 5V - enables reliable timing closure in high-speed 8-bit data paths |
| Output Drive | ±24mA at VCC = 4.5V - directly drives standard 50pF bus loads without external buffers |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | Up to 6V - accepts 5V-tolerant inputs even when VCC = 3.3V |
| 3-State Enable | Active-low OE pin - disables all eight outputs simultaneously to prevent bus contention |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded and computing applications |
| Package | NS (SOIC-20) - 12.8mm × 10.3mm body, surface-mount compatible with standard reflow profiles |
Pinout & Package
SN74AC574NSRE4 is packaged in a 20-pin SOIC (NS) with 1.27mm pitch, 12.8mm × 10.3mm footprint, and 2.65mm max height. Pin 1 is located at the top-left corner with notch or dot marking.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OE) | Active-low output enable | Asserting low places Q1–Q8 in high-impedance state; no effect on internal latch state |
| 2–9 (D1–D8) | Data inputs | Asynchronous inputs sampled on rising CLK edge; tolerate up to 6V regardless of VCC |
| 10 (GND) | Ground reference | Primary return path for logic and output current; requires local 0.1μF bypass capacitor |
| 11 (CLK) | Clock input | Rising-edge sensitive; minimum pulse width 4ns at 5V for guaranteed registration |
| 12–19 (Q8–Q1) | 3-state outputs | Driven high/low when OE = low; tri-stated when OE = high; support bus wire-OR configurations |
| 20 (VCC) | Positive supply | Accepts 2V–6V; must be decoupled locally to suppress switching noise on shared power rails |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide supply voltage range | 2V–6V operation enables direct use in both 3.3V and 5V systems without translation |
| High-speed edge-triggered latching | 8.5ns tPD at 5V supports 85MHz clock rates for real-time data capture |
| Bus-compatible 3-state outputs | ±24mA drive strength and fast enable/disable transitions (≤9ns) minimize bus turnaround time |
| Input overvoltage tolerance | Inputs accept up to 6V regardless of VCC, simplifying mixed-voltage interconnect design |
| Industrial temperature rating | −40°C to +85°C operating range ensures reliability in harsh environmental conditions |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal D-type latch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ACT574N | TTL-compatible inputs (VIH = 2V min), slightly higher ICC (100μA vs 40μA typical) | Better noise immunity in noisy industrial environments due to higher input threshold | Select when interfacing with legacy 5V TTL logic families requiring guaranteed VIH > 2V |
| 74LCX574M | Lower VCC range (2.0V–3.6V), 3.3V-only optimized, faster tPD (5.5ns @ 3.3V) | Designed exclusively for low-voltage 3.3V systems; not 5V tolerant | Choose for power-constrained 3.3V-only designs where 5V tolerance is unnecessary |
Compared with SN74ACT574N and 74LCX574M, SN74AC574NSRE4 uniquely balances 2V–6V operation, 5V tolerance, and industrial temperature range-making it optimal for mixed-voltage industrial controllers where flexibility and robustness are required.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by SN74AC574NSRE4 at 5V?
At VCC = 5V ± 0.5V and TA = 25°C, SN74AC574NSRE4 supports a maximum clock frequency of 85MHz. This is derived from the minimum clock pulse width (tw = 5ns high/low) and verified by fmax = 85MHz in the Switching Characteristics table. Operation above this frequency risks setup/hold violations and metastability.
Does SN74AC574NSRE4 require external pull-up resistors on the OE pin?
SN74AC574NSRE4 does not require external pull-up resistors on OE for normal operation. However, during power-up/power-down sequences, TI recommends tying OE to VCC through a pull-up resistor to ensure outputs remain in high-impedance state until system initialization completes-preventing bus contention before firmware configures the device.
Can SN74AC574NSRE4 operate reliably with a 3.3V supply?
Yes, SN74AC574NSRE4 operates reliably at 3.3V. Its recommended VCC range is 2V–6V, and timing specifications are explicitly characterized at 3.3V ± 0.3V: tPD ≤13.5ns, fclock ≥55MHz, and tsu/th meet industrial requirements. Input thresholds scale with VCC, ensuring compatibility with 3.3V logic families.
What is the thermal resistance (RθJA) of the NS (SOIC-20) package for SN74AC574NSRE4?
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance RθJA for SN74AC574NSRE4 in the NS (SOIC-20) package is 60°C/W, as specified in Section 4.3 of the datasheet. This value assumes standard JEDEC 2-layer board conditions and confirms suitability for industrial ambient temperatures without forced airflow.
How does the 3-state output behavior of SN74AC574NSRE4 differ from standard push-pull outputs?
Unlike push-pull outputs that actively drive high or low, SN74AC574NSRE4's 3-state outputs enter a high-impedance (Hi-Z) state when OE is high-disconnecting Q1–Q8 from the bus. This prevents electrical contention when multiple devices share the same lines, enabling true bidirectional bus architectures without external isolation components.
