Product details
Overview
SN74ACT534PW from Texas Instruments is an octal edge-triggered D-type flip-flop with 3-state inverting outputs, designed for high-capacitance bus driving in 4.5–5.5 V systems. It delivers 10.5 ns max propagation delay at 5 V, TTL-compatible inputs, and ±24 mA output drive-enabling direct interface to bidirectional data buses without pull-ups or buffers.
For engineers reviewing the SN74ACT534PW datasheet, SN74ACT534PW pinout, SN74ACT534PW application, or SN74ACT534PW equivalent, key selection criteria include its TSSOP-20 package, 3-state output control via OE, clock-edge-triggered data latching, and compatibility with industrial temperature range (–40°C to 85°C) designs requiring deterministic timing and bus isolation.
Technical Context
This device implements eight independent D-type flip-flops, each triggered on the positive clock edge to load complemented input data (Q = NOT D) into storage. Internal logic remains fully operational regardless of OE state-allowing data retention or update while outputs are in high-impedance mode.
The 3-state outputs support active-low OE control, enabling bus arbitration in shared-data-path systems. With inputs tolerant up to 5.5 V and guaranteed operation across 4.5–5.5 V VCC, it interfaces seamlessly with mixed-voltage logic domains while maintaining noise margins per TTL thresholds (VIH = 2 V, VIL = 0.8 V).
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 conditions. |
| Max tpd | 10.5 ns at 5 V - Enables reliable 85 MHz clock operation in synchronous bus interfaces. |
| Output Drive | ±24 mA - Sufficient to drive 50 pF loads directly without external buffers or termination. |
| Input Compatibility | TTL-voltage compatible (VIH = 2 V, VIL = 0.8 V) - Interoperates with legacy 74LS/74F logic families. |
| OE Control | Active-low, non-inverting relative to internal flip-flop operation - Allows asynchronous bus release without disrupting stored state. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - Qualified for industrial-grade embedded control and instrumentation applications. |
| Package | TSSOP-20 (PW) - 4.4 mm × 6.5 mm footprint with 0.65 mm pitch, optimized for high-density PCB layouts. |

| Test Equipment Digital Pattern Generator | Automated Test Fixture Controller |
Use Scenario: Generating precise, synchronized digital stimulus waveforms for IC functional testing using pattern memory and clock-controlled output staging. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Edge-triggered storage element holding test vector bits; 3-state outputs allow dynamic reconfiguration of signal routing paths. Use Value: ±24 mA drive strength ensures clean edges into 50 Ω scope probes or DUT inputs; 83°C/W θJA enables stable operation in compact test head enclosures. |
Use Scenario: Controlling solenoid valves, relays, and LED indicators in automated manufacturing test fixtures where multiple devices share a common control bus. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Output register latching command bytes from host MCU and releasing them onto shared control bus only when enabled by system arbiter. Use Value: Active-low OE allows fail-safe default (high-Z) on power-up; input clamp current rating (±20 mA) protects against ESD events in factory floor environments. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ACT574PW | Non-inverting 3-state outputs (Q = D), identical timing and drive specs. | Used where bus polarity must match input data without inversion-e.g., transparent latch replacement or non-inverted data path buffering. | Select when output inversion is undesirable; otherwise SN74ACT534PW provides inherent signal inversion for complementary bus architectures. |
| SN74LVC574APW | Lower VCC range (1.65–3.6 V), 32 mA drive, but no TTL input compatibility. | Suitable for 3.3 V-only systems with higher drive needs; incompatible with 5 V TTL inputs without level translation. | Choose for modern low-voltage designs; avoid if interfacing with legacy 5 V logic or mixed-supply backplanes. |
Compared with SN74ACT574PW and SN74LVC574APW, the SN74ACT534PW uniquely combines 5 V TTL compatibility, inverting outputs, and industrial temperature rating-making it the only option for retrofitting legacy 5 V bus systems requiring signal inversion and robust noise immunity.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the SN74ACT534PW?
The SN74ACT534PW supports a maximum clock frequency of 85 MHz over its full operating temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). At 25°C, the device achieves up to 120 MHz operation, but system-level timing margins should be validated per actual board layout, load capacitance, and supply stability. The SN74ACT534PW datasheet specifies minimum clock pulse width (tw) of 3.5 ns at 25°C.
Does the SN74ACT534PW require external pull-up resistors on the OE pin?
Yes-the SN74ACT534PW OE pin is active-low and should be tied to VCC through a pull-up resistor during power-up or power-down to ensure outputs remain in high-impedance state. TI recommends calculating the minimum resistor value based on the driver's current-sinking capability; typical values range from 4.7 kΩ to 10 kΩ for standard CMOS drivers.
Can the SN74ACT534PW interface directly with 3.3 V microcontrollers?
No-the SN74ACT534PW operates strictly at 4.5–5.5 V and has TTL-compatible inputs (VIH = 2 V min), but its outputs swing rail-to-rail at 5 V. Direct connection to 3.3 V logic may damage the microcontroller inputs. A level-shifter or series resistor + clamping diode network is required for safe interfacing with 3.3 V systems.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the SN74ACT534PW in its TSSOP-20 package?
The SN74ACT534PW in the TSSOP-20 (PW) package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 83°C/W, as specified in the absolute maximum ratings table. This value assumes standard JEDEC test board conditions (2-layer board, 1 in² copper area per side); actual performance improves with enhanced PCB copper pour and thermal vias.
Is the SN74ACT534PW pin-compatible with other members of the SN74ACT534 family?
Yes-the SN74ACT534PW shares identical pinout and functionality with all SN74ACT534 variants in SOIC (DW), SSOP (DB), PDIP (N), and SOP (NS) packages. All 20-pin versions implement the same octal D-type flip-flop with 3-state inverting outputs, clock, OE, VCC, and GND pin assignments per the top-view diagram in the datasheet.
