Product details
Overview
SN74ACT534DBRG4 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 SN74ACT534DBRG4 datasheet, SN74ACT534DBRG4 pinout, SN74ACT534DBRG4 application, or SN74ACT534DBRG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 20-pin SSOP package, 3-state output control (OE), inverting Q outputs, ±24 mA drive capability, and compatibility with 5-V logic buses requiring bidirectional buffering or register staging.
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. Internal circuitry isolates OE control from flip-flop state retention-data can be updated or held while outputs remain in high-impedance mode.
The 3-state outputs are optimized for direct connection to shared bus lines without external pull-ups or interface components. Input voltage tolerance up to 5.5 V enables safe interfacing with mixed-voltage subsystems, and the design meets ACT-series speed-power trade-offs for industrial-grade 5-V CMOS applications.
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 and brown-out margins. |
| Max tpd | 10.5 ns at 5 V - Enables reliable operation in high-speed digital systems up to 85 MHz clock frequency. |
| Output Drive | ±24 mA - Sufficient to drive typical PCB traces and stub-loaded buses without signal integrity degradation. |
| Input Compatibility | TTL-voltage compatible - Interfaces directly with legacy 5-V TTL logic without level-shifting circuitry. |
| 3-State Control | Active-low OE input - Places all eight outputs in high-impedance state independently of clock or data activity. |
| Logic Family | ACT (Advanced CMOS Technology) - Delivers bipolar-like speed with CMOS power efficiency and noise immunity. |
Pinout & Package
SN74ACT534DBRG4 is housed in a 20-pin SSOP (Shrink Small-Outline Package), DB package type, with 0.65 mm lead pitch, 7.5 mm body width, and 1.2 mm max height per JEDEC MO-150.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 | Data (D1–D8), Q (Q1–Q8), CLK, OE, VCC, GND | Standard assignment per TI SCAS556C: Pins 1–8 = D1–D8; 9 = GND; 10 = VCC; 11–18 = Q1–Q8; 19 = CLK; 20 = OE. |
| OE (Pin 20) | Output Enable | Active-low control: drives all Q outputs to high-impedance when high; enables normal logic states when low. |
| CLK (Pin 19) | Clock Input | Positive-edge-triggered - captures D-input states only on rising transition; no internal synchronization delay. |
| Q1–Q8 (Pins 11–18) | Inverting Outputs | Each Qn = NOT(Dn) after CLK↑ - provides complementary latched data ideal for bus inversion or differential signaling paths. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Octal D-type flip-flops | Eight independent edge-triggered storage elements enable compact register file implementation in space-constrained layouts. |
| 3-State inverting outputs | Eliminates need for external bus transceivers or pull-up resistors when interfacing with shared data/address buses. |
| 10.5 ns max propagation delay | Supports synchronous timing budgets in 85 MHz digital systems with margin for trace delays and setup/hold windows. |
| TTL-compatible inputs | Accepts standard 5-V TTL logic thresholds (VIH ≥ 2 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V), simplifying integration with legacy controller interfaces. |
| Wide supply range (4.5–5.5 V) | Accommodates nominal 5-V rails with ±10% variation, reducing need for precision regulation in industrial power domains. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ACT574DBR | Non-inverting Q outputs; identical timing, package, and drive specs. | Preferred where bus data must retain polarity (e.g., memory write-through paths). | Select SN74ACT574DBR when non-inverted output logic is required; otherwise SN74ACT534DBRG4 remains optimal for inverted-bus architectures. |
| SN74LVC574APWR | 3.3-V only (1.65–3.6 V); lower drive (±24 mA), same pinout but different voltage domain. | Suitable for mixed-signal systems with 3.3-V controllers and level-shifted 5-V peripherals. | Choose SN74LVC574APWR only in 3.3-V designs; SN74ACT534DBRG4 is mandatory for native 5-V bus integrity and TTL compatibility. |
Compared with SN74ACT574DBR and SN74LVC574APWR, SN74ACT534DBRG4 uniquely combines 5-V operation, TTL input compatibility, and inverting outputs-making it irreplaceable in legacy 5-V bus systems requiring polarity inversion and robust noise margins.

FAQ
What is the logic polarity of the Q outputs on the SN74ACT534DBRG4?
The SN74ACT534DBRG4 features inverting outputs: each Qn pin delivers the logical complement of its corresponding Dn input after the positive clock edge. This behavior is fixed and cannot be disabled or configured. The inverting nature is integral to the device's architecture and is documented in the function table and logic diagram of the SCAS556C datasheet.
Does the SN74ACT534DBRG4 require external pull-up resistors on the OE pin?
Yes - to ensure the outputs enter high-impedance during power-up or power-down, OE (Pin 20) should be tied to VCC through a pull-up resistor. TI recommends sizing the resistor based on the current-sinking capability of the driving source; typical values range from 4.7 kΩ to 10 kΩ. Leaving OE floating risks undefined output states and potential bus contention.
Can the SN74ACT534DBRG4 operate reliably at 3.3 V?
No - the SN74ACT534DBRG4 is specified only for 4.5 V to 5.5 V operation. Its input thresholds, propagation delay, and output drive strength are characterized exclusively within this range. Attempting 3.3-V operation violates recommended conditions and may result in metastability, excessive delay, or failure to meet VOH/VOL specifications. For 3.3-V systems, consider SN74LVC574APWR instead.
How many data bits does the SN74ACT534DBRG4 latch per clock cycle?
The SN74ACT534DBRG4 latches eight independent data bits (D1–D8) simultaneously on each rising edge of the CLK input. All eight flip-flops share the same clock and output-enable signals, enabling true parallel loading of a full byte. This makes SN74ACT534DBRG4 ideal for applications requiring synchronized multi-bit data capture or staging.
Is the SN74ACT534DBRG4 RoHS compliant and what is its moisture sensitivity level?
Yes - SN74ACT534DBRG4 is RoHS compliant with Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br) material content and CU NIPDAU lead finish. Its moisture sensitivity level is rated JEDEC Level-1 with unlimited floor life at ≤30°C/60% RH, meaning it can be mounted without baking or special handling under standard assembly conditions.
