Product details
Overview
SN74ACT564PW from Texas Instruments is an octal D-type edge-triggered flip-flop with 3-state inverted outputs, designed for bus-oriented applications requiring high-speed data latching and bidirectional bus driving. It operates at 4.5–5.5 V, delivers 8.5 ns max propagation delay at 5 V, supports TTL-voltage-compatible inputs, and features flow-through pinout for optimized PCB layout.
For engineers reviewing the SN74ACT564PW datasheet, SN74ACT564PW pinout, SN74ACT564PW application, or SN74ACT564PW equivalent, this page provides verified functional identity, timing behavior under 5 V operation, 3-state output control logic, thermal resistance (126.2°C/W), and validated alternatives for buffer register and I/O port designs.
Technical Context
The SN74ACT564PW implements eight independent D-type flip-flops triggered on the rising edge of CLK, with each Q output inverted relative to its D input. Its buffered OE input controls all eight outputs simultaneously, placing them in high-impedance state without affecting internal latch states.
It uses ACT (Advanced CMOS TTL-compatible) logic family architecture, ensuring compatibility with TTL input thresholds while delivering CMOS-level power efficiency and noise immunity. The device supports direct connection to capacitive bus lines up to 50 pF load per output, with guaranteed 24 mA drive strength in both sourcing and sinking directions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - Ensures stable operation across industrial-grade 5 V supply tolerances. |
| Max tpd | 8.5 ns at 5 V - Enables reliable 75 MHz clock operation in synchronous bus interfaces. |
| Output Drive | ±24 mA - Sufficient to drive standard TTL loads and terminated transmission lines directly. |
| Input Compatibility | TTL-voltage compatible - Accepts VIH ≥ 2 V and VIL ≤ 0.8 V, eliminating level-shifting in mixed-logic systems. |
| 3-State Enable | Active-low OE - Allows shared bus arbitration without external gating logic or pull-ups. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - Qualified for industrial ambient environments without derating. |
| RθJA | 126.2°C/W (TSSOP-20) - Requires thermal-aware PCB layout with adequate copper pour for sustained 5 V operation. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-20 package: 6.5 mm × 6.4 mm body size, 1.2 mm max height, lead pitch 0.65 mm, JEDEC MO-153 compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| 2–9 | 1D–8D | Eight asynchronous data inputs, each feeding one D-type flip-flop stage. |
| 10 | GND | Power return reference for logic and output stages; must be low-inductance connection. |
| 11 | CLK | Rising-edge clock input synchronizing all eight flip-flops to a common timing edge. |

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 Q outputs; identical timing, voltage, and package specs. | Required where bus drivers must preserve logic polarity (e.g., address latching). | Select SN74ACT574PW when output inversion is not desired; otherwise SN74ACT564PW is optimal for inverted-bus protocols. |
| 74LVC574APW | Lower VCC range (1.65–3.6 V); 3.3 V native operation; 6.7 ns tpd at 3.3 V. | Suitable for mixed-voltage systems but incompatible with 5 V-only buses without level translation. | Choose 74LVC574APW only in 3.3 V domains; SN74ACT564PW remains necessary for 5 V industrial bus compliance. |
Compared with SN74ACT564PW, SN74ACT574PW removes output inversion while retaining identical timing and drive strength-ideal for non-inverted bus architectures-whereas 74LVC574APW shifts to 3.3 V operation with faster propagation but sacrifices 5 V interoperability and bus-drive capability.

FAQ
What is the function of the OE pin on the SN74ACT564PW?
The OE (Output Enable) pin on the SN74ACT564PW is an active-low control that places all eight Q outputs into high-impedance state when asserted (OE = LOW), regardless of CLK or D input states. It does not affect internal flip-flop operation, allowing data retention or updates while outputs remain disconnected from the bus. This behavior is confirmed in the Function Table (Table 6-1) and Detailed Description section of the official datasheet.
Does the SN74ACT564PW support 3.3 V operation?
No, the SN74ACT564PW is specified only for 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply operation per Recommended Operating Conditions (Section 4.2). Its TTL-compatible inputs require VIH ≥ 2.0 V and VIL ≤ 0.8 V, but internal logic thresholds and output drive strength are characterized exclusively at 5 V. Attempting 3.3 V operation violates datasheet limits and risks unreliable switching or excessive ICC current.
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the SN74ACT564PW?
The SN74ACT564PW supports a maximum clock frequency of 75 MHz under recommended operating conditions (VCC = 5 V, TA = –40°C to +85°C), as specified in Section 4.5 Timing Requirements. At 25°C, fmax reaches 85 MHz. This is derived from minimum pulse width (tw = 3 ns) and verified by switching characteristics tables showing tPLH/tPHL ≤ 11.5 ns.
How does the SN74ACT564PW differ from the SN74ACT574PW?
The SN74ACT564PW provides inverted Q outputs (Q̅), while the SN74ACT574PW provides true Q outputs - all other electrical, timing, and packaging specifications are identical. Both use the same ACT logic family, share 8.5 ns max tpd at 5 V, and offer identical 3-state control via OE. The choice depends solely on whether bus polarity inversion is required in the target application.
Is the SN74ACT564PW pin-compatible with other package variants like SN74ACT564N or SN74ACT564DWR?
Yes, all SN74ACT564 variants - including SN74ACT564PW (TSSOP-20), SN74ACT564N (PDIP-20), and SN74ACT564DWR (SOIC-20) - share identical pin configuration and function mapping per Figure 3-1 and Table 3-1. Pin 1 is OE, pins 2–9 are D inputs, pin 10 is GND, pin 11 is CLK, pins 12–19 are Q outputs (8Q to 1Q), and pin 20 is VCC across all packages.
