Product details
Overview
SN74ACT534DBRE4 from Texas Instruments is an octal edge-triggered D-type flip-flop with 3-state inverting outputs, designed for bus interface and register applications operating at 4.5–5.5 V. It delivers 10.5 ns max propagation delay at 5 V, TTL-compatible inputs, and ±24 mA output drive capability-enabling direct connection to capacitive or low-impedance bus lines without external pull-ups.
For engineers reviewing the SN74ACT534DBRE4 datasheet, SN74ACT534DBRE4 pinout, SN74ACT534DBRE4 application, or SN74ACT534DBRE4 equivalent, key selection criteria include its positive-edge clock triggering, independent output-enable control, high-impedance state retention during data loading, and SSOP-20 package compatibility with space-constrained industrial control and I/O expansion designs.
Technical Context
This device implements eight independent D-type latches synchronized to the rising edge of CLK, with each Q output delivering the logical complement of its corresponding D input. The buffered OE input controls all eight outputs simultaneously, placing them in high-impedance (Z) state without affecting internal flip-flop operation-allowing concurrent data retention or update while outputs are disabled.
It operates within –40°C to 85°C ambient temperature, supports 5-V logic levels with TTL-voltage-compatible inputs, and features rail-to-rail output swing (VOH ≥ 3.76 V, VOL ≤ 0.44 V at 5 V/24 mA). Input transition rate is specified at 8 ns/V, and absolute maximum ratings include VI up to VCC + 0.5 V and continuous output current of ±50 mA per pin.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures stable operation across standard 5-V supply tolerances in industrial and computing systems. |
| tpd (max) | 10.5 ns at 5 V - enables reliable timing in high-speed synchronous bus interfaces up to 85 MHz clock frequency. |
| IOH/IOL | ±24 mA - provides sufficient drive strength to directly load typical PCB traces and stubs without buffering. |
| tsu / th | 4 ns setup / 1.5 ns hold - defines minimum D-input stability window relative to CLK↑ for deterministic state capture. |
| Output Type | 3-state inverting - allows bidirectional bus sharing and eliminates contention when multiple devices share a common data path. |
| Input Compatibility | TTL-voltage compatible - accepts standard 0.8 V/2.0 V logic thresholds, simplifying integration with legacy 5-V logic families. |
| Package | SSOP-20 (DB) - 0.65 mm pitch, 7.9 × 5.0 mm body, RoHS-compliant, moisture-sensitive level 1 (260°C reflow). |
Pinout & Package
SN74ACT534DBRE4 uses a 20-pin Shrink Small-Outline Package (SSOP-DB), measuring 7.9 mm × 5.0 mm × 1.95 mm with 0.65 mm lead pitch and gull-wing leads. Thermal resistance θJA is 70°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 | D1–D8 Data Inputs | Asynchronous parallel data inputs; sampled on CLK↑ rising edge and inverted at corresponding Q outputs. |
| 9 | GND | Ground reference for all internal circuitry and output drivers; must be low-impedance connection. |
| 10 | VCC | Positive supply (4.5–5.5 V); decoupling capacitor required near pin for noise suppression. |
| 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 | Q1–Q8 Outputs | Inverting 3-state outputs; driven low/high or placed in high-Z based on OE and CLK↑ timing. |
| 19 | CLK | Clock input; positive-edge sensitive; requires monotonic rise/fall and meets ∆t/∆v ≤ 8 ns/V spec. |
| 20 | OE | Active-low output enable; asserts high-impedance state when high; no effect on internal flip-flop state. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Octal D-type flip-flops with complementary outputs | Each channel inverts D input at Q on CLK↑, enabling compact register implementations without external inverters. |
| Independent 3-state control via OE | Single pin disables all eight outputs to high-Z without disrupting internal latch states-critical for hot-swap and multi-master bus arbitration. |
| TTL-compatible input thresholds | VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max at VCC = 5 V-ensures interoperability with 74LS, 74F, and other legacy 5-V logic families. |
| High-output drive (±24 mA) | Eliminates need for external bus transceivers or pull-up resistors in medium-load applications like backplane I/O buffers. |
| Low propagation delay (10.5 ns max) | Supports 85 MHz system clocks with margin for trace delays and setup/hold timing closure in dense PCB layouts. |
Applications
| Industrial I/O Expansion | Legacy Bus Interface |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Adding parallel digital I/O to PLC modules or motion controllers using existing 5-V backplane buses. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Acts as an octal output latch and bus driver, synchronizing host CPU writes to peripheral outputs on CLK↑ while isolating bus during OE high. Use Value: Enables deterministic, glitch-free output updates with hardware-level timing control-reducing firmware overhead and eliminating software-induced metastability risks. |
Use Scenario: Interfacing modern microcontrollers to legacy ISA or VME bus peripherals requiring 5-V TTL signaling and tri-state control. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides level-shifted, inverted, and bus-isolated D/Q paths between controller and legacy bus, with OE coordinated to bus grant cycles. Use Value: Eliminates discrete inverters and bus buffers, reducing BOM count and layout area while maintaining strict timing compliance with legacy bus specifications. |
| Buffer Register for Data Acquisition | Bidirectional Bus Transceiver Support |
Use Scenario: Capturing parallel ADC output words in high-noise industrial environments where signal integrity depends on controlled edge rates and low skew. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Latches ADC data on CLK↑, then presents it to processor bus only when OE is asserted-decoupling sampling and read cycles. Use Value: Prevents bus contention during conversion, reduces EMI from simultaneous data transitions, and improves acquisition repeatability by fixing sample point timing. |
Use Scenario: Supporting half-duplex communication on shared data buses in test equipment or modular instrumentation chassis. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Functions as one side of a bidirectional data path-driving outputs when enabled, presenting high-Z when receiving, with OE synchronized to direction control. Use Value: Allows single 20-pin IC to replace dual 4-bit transceivers, cutting board space and interconnect complexity while preserving full 8-bit bandwidth. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal D-type flip-flop with 3-state output applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ACT574DBR | Non-inverting outputs; identical timing, voltage, and package specs. | Requires inverted logic in downstream logic or software if complemented output behavior is needed. | Select when non-inverted Q outputs align with system-level polarity requirements-no change to clocking or OE control. |
| SN74LVC574APWR | 3.3-V only (1.65–3.6 V), lower drive (±24 mA), same pinout but different VCC/GND placement. | Not suitable for 5-V systems; requires level translation if interfacing with 5-V buses or legacy logic. | Choose only for new 3.3-V designs prioritizing lower power and compatibility with modern MCUs-requires full voltage domain review. |
Compared with SN74ACT534DBRE4, SN74ACT574DBR offers functional equivalence except for output inversion polarity, while SN74LVC574APWR shifts to 3.3-V operation with identical pin count but incompatible supply requirements-making the former a drop-in logic replacement and the latter a voltage-domain redesign candidate.

FAQ
What is the recommended power supply decoupling for SN74ACT534DBRE4?
A 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor must be placed as close as possible to the VCC pin (pin 10) and GND (pin 9) of SN74ACT534DBRE4 to suppress high-frequency switching noise. For systems with multiple SN74ACT534DBRE4 devices or heavy bus loading, add a bulk 4.7 µF tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitor per 5–10 ICs on the same 5-V rail. This ensures stable VCC during simultaneous output transitions and prevents ground bounce that could corrupt CLK or OE timing.
Can SN74ACT534DBRE4 operate with a 3.3-V supply?
No, SN74ACT534DBRE4 is not rated for 3.3-V operation. Its absolute minimum VCC is 4.5 V, and recommended operating range is strictly 4.5–5.5 V. Applying 3.3 V will result in undefined logic states, failure to meet timing specifications (e.g., tpd, tsu), and potential output contention. For 3.3-V systems, consider SN74LVC574APWR or SN74AHC574PWR-both pin-compatible alternatives with verified 3.3-V performance.
How does OE affect internal flip-flop operation in SN74ACT534DBRE4?
OE has no effect on internal flip-flop operation in SN74ACT534DBRE4. When OE is high, outputs go to high-impedance (Z), but D inputs remain fully functional and CLK↑ continues to capture new data into the latches. This allows seamless data loading or retention while bus lines are isolated-enabling safe multi-drop bus arbitration and hot-plug readiness without disrupting internal state.
What is the maximum capacitive load SN74ACT534DBRE4 can drive reliably?
SN74ACT534DBRE4 is characterized to drive up to 50 pF loads while maintaining specified tPLH/tPHL (≤12.5 ns) and VOL/VOH margins at 24 mA. For heavier loads (e.g., >70 pF), propagation delay increases and VOL may exceed 0.5 V under worst-case conditions. To maintain timing integrity, limit trace + stub capacitance to ≤40 pF per output, or add series termination if driving long traces or unterminated stubs.
Is SN74ACT534DBRE4 pin-compatible with SN74ACT534DBR or SN74ACT534DBRG4?
Yes, SN74ACT534DBRE4 is fully pin-compatible and functionally identical to SN74ACT534DBR and SN74ACT534DBRG4. All three share the same SSOP-20 (DB) package, identical pinout, electrical specifications, and thermal characteristics. The suffix "E4" denotes TI's green RoHS-compliant finish (CU NIPDAU), while "G4" indicates lead-free finish-both meet Level-1 MSL rating and require no layout changes for substitution.
