Product details
Overview
SN74AC574PWRG4 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, supports 5V and 3.3V logic domains, delivers ≤8.5ns propagation delay at 5V, and drives high-capacitance loads directly-enabling use in I/O port buffering and bidirectional data bus control.
For engineers reviewing the SN74AC574PWRG4 datasheet, SN74AC574PWRG4 pinout, SN74AC574PWRG4 application, or SN74AC574PWRG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 20-pin TSSOP package, rising-edge clock triggering, independent output-enable control, and compatibility with mixed-voltage system interfaces requiring high-impedance bus isolation.
Technical Context
This device implements eight synchronous D-flip-flops sharing a common clock (CLK) input and a single active-low output-enable (OE) signal. Each flip-flop captures the state of its D-input on the rising edge of CLK and holds it until the next clock transition.
The 3-state outputs are fully decoupled from internal register operation: OE controls only output driver enablement, allowing data retention and new data loading while outputs remain high-impedance-critical for hot-swap and multi-master bus arbitration scenarios.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2 V to 6 V - supports direct interfacing with 3.3 V and 5 V logic families without level shifters |
| Max tpd (5 V) | 8.5 ns - enables reliable operation in high-speed digital control paths up to 85 MHz clock frequency |
| IOL/IOH (5 V) | ±24 mA - sufficient drive strength to directly terminate standard 50 Ω transmission lines or load 10+ CMOS inputs |
| Input Voltage Range | −0.5 V to VCC + 0.5 V - tolerant of overvoltage transients and mixed-supply signaling |
| Operating Temperature | −40 °C to +85 °C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded controller and peripheral interface applications |
| Output Enable Propagation | tPZH/tPZL ≤ 9 ns (5 V) - ensures fast bus release for time-critical arbitration and multiplexing |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-20 (PW) package: 6.5 mm × 6.4 mm body size, 1.2 mm max height, lead pitch 0.65 mm, thermal pad optional (GND or floating).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OE) | Active-low output enable | Asserting low enables all Q outputs; high places them in high-impedance state without affecting internal register state |
| 2–9 (D1–D8) | Data inputs | Asynchronous inputs sampled on rising CLK edge; accept voltages up to VCC + 0.5 V |
| 10 (GND) | Ground reference | Primary return path for all I/O and supply currents; must be low-impedance for noise immunity |
| 11 (CLK) | Clock input | Rising-edge triggered; minimum pulse width 5 ns at 5 V; synchronizes all eight flip-flops simultaneously |
| 12–19 (Q8–Q1) | Registered outputs | Tri-state outputs mirroring D-inputs after CLK↑; driven low/high or high-Z per OE state |
| 20 (VCC) | Positive supply | Power rail for logic core and output drivers; requires local 0.1 μF bypass capacitor |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide VCC range (2–6 V) | Enables interoperability between legacy 5 V and modern 3.3 V subsystems without external voltage translation |
| 3-state outputs with independent OE | Permits shared bus architectures where multiple devices drive the same line without contention or pull-up requirements |
| Low propagation delay (≤8.5 ns @ 5 V) | Supports timing-critical control loops and high-throughput data capture in programmable logic interfaces |
| High noise immunity (Δt/Δv ≥ 8 ns/V) | Rejects fast-rising EMI on clock and data lines, improving reliability in electrically noisy industrial environments |
| Input overvoltage tolerance | Accepts signals up to VCC + 0.5 V, simplifying interface design when driving from higher-voltage sources |
Applications

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC574APWR | Lower VCC range (1.65–3.6 V); 3.3 V only; tpd = 6.1 ns @ 3.3 V | Optimized for low-voltage portable systems; not suitable for 5 V bus interfacing | Select when operating exclusively in 3.3 V domains and maximum speed >85 MHz is required |
| 74ACT574PW | Higher drive (±24 mA @ 5 V same), but narrower VCC (4.5–5.5 V); no 3.3 V support | Legacy 5 V-only designs; lacks mixed-voltage flexibility of SN74AC574PWRG4 | Choose only for drop-in replacement in existing 5 V-only boards with strict timing budgets |
Compared with SN74LVC574APWR and 74ACT574PW, SN74AC574PWRG4 uniquely balances 2–6 V operation, 8.5 ns speed at 5 V, and industrial temperature range-making it the preferred choice for mixed-supply embedded systems requiring bus isolation and timing predictability.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by SN74AC574PWRG4 at 5 V?
At VCC = 5 V ± 0.5 V and TA = 25 °C, SN74AC574PWRG4 supports a maximum clock frequency of 85 MHz. This value is derived from timing requirements including minimum pulse width (5 ns) and setup/hold times (2 ns and 1.5 ns respectively), ensuring reliable edge-triggered operation in high-speed digital control paths.
Can SN74AC574PWRG4 operate with a 3.3 V supply?
Yes, SN74AC574PWRG4 is fully specified for 3.3 V operation (VCC = 3.3 V ± 0.3 V), delivering guaranteed performance including tpd ≤ 13.5 ns, fmax = 55 MHz, and compatible input/output voltage thresholds. Its 2–6 V range makes SN74AC574PWRG4 ideal for mixed-voltage system integration without level-shifting circuitry.
How does the output-enable (OE) pin function in SN74AC574PWRG4?
The OE pin on SN74AC574PWRG4 is an active-low control that places all eight Q outputs into high-impedance state when asserted high, regardless of CLK or D-input activity. Internal register contents remain unchanged, enabling data retention and new input sampling during bus arbitration-critical for multi-master systems and hot-swap capability.
Is SN74AC574PWRG4 RoHS compliant and what is its MSL rating?
Yes, SN74AC574PWRG4 is RoHS compliant (lead-free, NIPDAU finish) and carries a JEDEC MSL Level-1 rating with unlimited floor life at ≤30 °C/60% RH. Its peak reflow temperature is 260 °C, making it compatible with standard lead-free PCB assembly processes without special handling requirements.
What package type is used for SN74AC574PWRG4 and what are its key mechanical dimensions?
SN74AC574PWRG4 uses the TSSOP-20 (PW) package: 6.5 mm × 6.4 mm body size, 1.2 mm maximum height, 0.65 mm lead pitch, and 20 terminals. The package includes an exposed thermal pad that may be connected to GND or left floating-no solder mask defined opening is required per TI layout guidelines.
