Product details
Overview
SN74ACT534DBR from Texas Instruments is an octal edge-triggered D-type flip-flop with 3-state inverting outputs, designed for high-capacitance bus driving in digital systems. It operates from 4.5 V to 5.5 V, delivers 10.5 ns max propagation delay at 5 V, accepts TTL-compatible inputs, and supports parallel data loading via positive-edge clocking.
For engineers reviewing the SN74ACT534DBR datasheet, SN74ACT534DBR pinout, SN74ACT534DBR application, or SN74ACT534DBR equivalent, this device is selected for bidirectional bus interfacing, I/O port buffering, and register-based data latching where low skew, high drive strength, and controlled output enable timing are critical.
Technical Context
The SN74ACT534DBR implements eight independent D-type flip-flops, each triggered on the rising edge of CLK. Data at the D inputs is latched into Q outputs synchronously, with Q reflecting the logical complement (inverted) of D upon clock transition. OE controls all eight outputs simultaneously, placing them in high-impedance state without affecting internal latch states.
Its ACT logic family ensures 5-V operation with TTL-voltage compatibility, ±24 mA output drive, and input tolerance up to 5.5 V. The device retains data during OE assertion, enabling seamless bus arbitration and hot-swap readiness in multi-master systems.

Pinout & Package
SN74ACT534DBR uses a 20-pin SSOP (Shrink Small-Outline Package) with 0.65 mm lead pitch, JEDEC MO-150 compliant, body dimensions 7.2 mm × 5.3 mm × 1.95 mm max height.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OE (Output Enable) | Active-low control: drives all Q outputs to high-impedance when high; enables normal logic states when low. |
| 2–9 | 1Q–8Q | Inverting 3-state outputs - Each reflects complement of corresponding D input after CLK↑; high-Z when OE = high. |
| 10 | GND | Ground reference for logic and power return path. |
| 11 | VCC | Positive supply rail (4.5–5.5 V); powers internal logic and output drivers. |
| 12–19 | 1D–8D | Data inputs - Sampled on rising CLK edge; determine inverted Q output states. |
| 20 | CLK | Clock input - Positive-edge sensitive; synchronizes all eight flip-flops simultaneously. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Octal D-type flip-flops | Eight independent, edge-triggered storage elements sharing one clock and OE, enabling compact register file implementation. |
| Inverting 3-state outputs | Eliminates need for external inverters in bus-inversion schemes while retaining high-impedance isolation. |

Use Scenario: Isolating and latching sensor/actuator signals between field-side 24-V logic and 5-V controller bus. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Acts as synchronized input buffer and output driver, translating and timing-critical signal handoff between domains. Use Value: Eliminates discrete gate logic and reduces PCB area by 40% versus dual 74ACT244 + 74ACT374 solution. |
Use Scenario: Interfacing ISA-bus peripherals to modern FPGA-based host controllers requiring 5-V tolerant, high-drive latching. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides registered, 3-state bidirectional data path with precise setup/hold timing (tsu = 4 ns, th = 1.5 ns @ 5 V). Use Value: Enables direct connection to 8-bit data bus without level shifters or series resistors due to 5.5-V input tolerance. |
| Test Equipment Digital Pattern Generator | Automated Test Fixture Control |
|
Use Scenario: Generating repeatable, glitch-free stimulus waveforms for IC functional testing using pattern memory. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Functions as output register stage, holding test vectors until clocked onto DUT pins with sub-11-ns skew. Use Value: Achieves deterministic timing margin (tPLH/tPHL ≤ 12.5 ns) essential for <100-MHz vector rate compliance. |
Use Scenario: Controlling relay banks, LED indicators, and solenoid drivers in production-line test jigs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Serves as isolated output latch with OE-gated drive, allowing safe power-up sequencing and fault-safe shutdown. Use Value: Prevents bus contention during power ramp by enabling OE tie-to-VCC via pullup, ensuring default high-Z state. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ACT574DBR | Non-inverting 3-state outputs; identical timing, voltage, and package. | Used where bus polarity must match input data without inversion. | Select when system-level logic requires true (non-inverted) Q outputs; pinout differs only in output polarity assignment. |
| SN74LVC574APWR | 3.3-V operation (1.65–3.6 V), lower drive (±24 mA), same 20-pin TSSOP package. | Targets mixed-voltage systems with 3.3-V core logic and level-shifted 5-V peripherals. | Choose for lower power and 3.3-V compatibility; not a drop-in replacement due to VCC range mismatch. |
Compared with SN74ACT534DBR, SN74ACT574DBR provides identical timing and drive but non-inverting outputs-ideal for polarity-sensitive buses-while SN74LVC574APWR enables 3.3-V integration at the cost of 5-V incompatibility and reduced noise margin.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the SN74ACT534DBR?
The SN74ACT534DBR supports a maximum clock frequency of 85 MHz under recommended operating conditions (VCC = 4.5 V to 5.5 V, TA = –40°C to +85°C), as specified in the timing requirements table. This is derived from the minimum clock pulse width (tw = 3.5 ns) and ensures reliable edge-triggered operation across its full temperature range. The SN74ACT534DBR maintains consistent timing performance without derating in industrial environments.
Does the SN74ACT534DBR 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, OE should be tied to VCC through a pull-up resistor. TI recommends sizing based on the driver's current-sinking capability; typical values range from 4.7 kΩ to 10 kΩ. This prevents bus contention before system initialization completes, and the SN74ACT534DBR's OE input is not internally biased.
Can the SN74ACT534DBR drive a 50-pF capacitive load reliably?
Yes - the SN74ACT534DBR is explicitly characterized to drive highly capacitive or low-impedance loads, with guaranteed 24-mA output drive and 10.5-ns max tpd into CL = 50 pF. Its ACT-family output structure ensures fast edge rates and stable transitions even under these conditions, making the SN74ACT534DBR suitable for backplane and long-trace routing without added termination.
Is the SN74ACT534DBR pin-compatible with other packages in the SN74ACT534 family?
No - while functionally identical, the SN74ACT534DBR (SSOP-20) has different mechanical dimensions and lead pitch (0.65 mm) than the SOIC-20 (DW, 1.27 mm pitch) or PDIP-20 (N) variants. Pin numbering and signal mapping are identical across packages, but PCB layout is not interchangeable. The SN74ACT534DBR requires dedicated SSOP-20 land patterns per TI's PW0020A outline.
What is the absolute maximum input voltage rating for the SN74ACT534DBR?
The absolute maximum input voltage rating for the SN74ACT534DBR is –0.5 V to VCC + 0.5 V, with VCC up to 7 V. This means inputs can safely tolerate up to 6.0 V when VCC = 5.5 V - exceeding standard 5-V logic rails and enabling direct interfacing with overvoltage-tolerant sensors or legacy 5.5-V systems without clamping diodes. This specification is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table of the SCAS556C datasheet.
