Product details
Overview
SN74ACT574NSRE4 from Texas Instruments is an octal D-type edge-triggered flip-flop with 3-state outputs, designed for bus interface and data latching in 5-V digital systems. It operates from 4.5 V to 5.5 V, features 9 ns max propagation delay at 5 V, TTL-compatible inputs, and supports bidirectional bus driving via active-low output enable (OE).
For engineers reviewing the SN74ACT574NSRE4 datasheet, SN74ACT574NSRE4 pinout, SN74ACT574NSRE4 application, or SN74ACT574NSRE4 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 20-pin SOP (NS) package, rising-edge clock triggering, high-impedance output control, and compatibility with legacy TTL logic levels in industrial I/O and memory buffer designs.
Technical Context
The SN74ACT574NSRE4 implements eight independent D-type flip-flops synchronized to the rising edge of CLK, capturing input data (D1–D8) and presenting it at Q1–Q8 outputs. Its 3-state outputs are controlled by a shared active-low OE signal, enabling bus contention avoidance without affecting internal state retention.
This device uses ACT (Advanced CMOS TTL-compatible) logic technology, delivering rail-to-rail output swing, ±24 mA drive capability, and ESD robustness (±2000 V HBM). It is specified for –40°C to +85°C operation and supports fast timing with 2.5 ns min / 12 ns max tpd and 1 ns min hold time.
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 resilience. |
| Max tpd | 9 ns at 5 V - Enables reliable operation in high-speed digital interfaces up to 85 MHz clock frequency. |
| Output Drive | ±24 mA - Sufficient to drive 50-pF loads or multiple TTL inputs without external buffers. |
| Input Compatibility | TTL-voltage compatible - Accepts 0.8 V/2.0 V logic thresholds, allowing direct interfacing with legacy 74LS and 74F families. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - Qualified for industrial temperature environments without derating. |
| ESD Rating | ±2000 V HBM - Meets JEDEC JS-001 for robust handling in manufacturing and field deployment. |
| Power Dissipation | 40 pF typical Cpd - Predictable dynamic power consumption under 1 MHz switching at 5 V. |
Pinout & Package
The SN74ACT574NSRE4 is packaged in a 20-pin SOP (Small Outline Package), designated NS, with body dimensions of 12.6 mm × 5.3 mm and overall package size 12.6 mm × 7.8 mm. This surface-mount package supports automated assembly and offers thermal resistance RθJA = 106.2°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| OE (Pin 1) | Active-low output enable | Controls all eight outputs simultaneously; when high, forces Q1–Q8 into high-impedance state for bus isolation. |
| D1–D8 (Pins 2–9) | Data inputs | Asynchronous parallel inputs latched on rising CLK edge; TTL-compatible voltage thresholds ensure interoperability. |
| GND (Pin 10) | Ground reference | Primary return path for logic and output current; must be low-impedance to minimize ground bounce. |
| CLK (Pin 11) | Clock input | Rising-edge sensitive; minimum pulse width 3 ns ensures reliable capture in high-speed synchronous systems. |
| Q8–Q1 (Pins 12–19) | Tri-state outputs | Drive bus lines directly; high-impedance mode eliminates loading when OE is asserted. |
| VCC (Pin 20) | Positive supply | 5-V nominal supply; requires local 0.1-μF bypass capacitor per TI layout guidelines to suppress switching noise. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Edge-triggered latching | Rising-edge CLK synchronizes all eight D inputs to outputs with 1 ns min hold time, ensuring deterministic timing in pipeline stages. |
| 3-state bus interface | Shared OE pin enables simultaneous high-impedance control of all outputs, eliminating need for discrete bus transceivers in shared-data-path systems. |
| TTL-compatible inputs | Accepts 0.8 V/2.0 V thresholds - allows direct connection to 74LS, 74F, and other bipolar logic without level-shifting circuitry. |
| High-output drive | ±24 mA per output - drives 50-pF capacitive loads or up to 10 standard TTL inputs, reducing fanout constraints in dense PCB layouts. |
| Industrial temperature range | –40°C to +85°C operation - supports deployment in programmable logic controllers, motor drives, and factory automation equipment. |

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the SN74ACT574NSRE4?
The SN74ACT574NSRE4 supports a maximum clock frequency of 85 MHz under recommended operating conditions (VCC = 5 V ± 0.5 V, TA = –40°C to +85°C). This is derived from its 3 ns minimum clock pulse width and 12 ns maximum propagation delay, ensuring reliable edge-triggered capture across the full industrial temperature range. The SN74ACT574NSRE4 datasheet specifies fmax = 85 MHz in Section 4.6.
Does the SN74ACT574NSRE4 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, TI recommends tying OE to VCC via a pull-up resistor. The minimum value depends on the current-sinking capability of the driving source; typical values range from 4.7 kΩ to 10 kΩ. This prevents bus contention before system initialization completes, a requirement explicitly stated in Section 6.1 of the SN74ACT574NSRE4 datasheet.
Can the SN74ACT574NSRE4 drive standard TTL loads directly?
Yes - the SN74ACT574NSRE4 can drive standard TTL loads directly. Its outputs deliver ±24 mA at VOH/VOL specifications, exceeding the ±1.6 mA required by standard TTL inputs. Combined with TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIL = 0.8 V, VIH = 2.0 V), this enables seamless interconnection with 74LS, 74F, and other bipolar logic families without level-shifting components, as confirmed in Sections 1 and 4.5 of the SN74ACT574NSRE4 datasheet.
What is the thermal resistance (RθJA) of the SN74ACT574NSRE4 in its SOP package?
The SN74ACT574NSRE4 in the SOP (NS) package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 106.2°C/W, as specified in Table 4-4 of the official datasheet. This value assumes standard JEDEC 2-layer board conditions and is critical for calculating maximum allowable power dissipation in thermally constrained industrial enclosures where ambient temperatures reach +85°C.
Is the SN74ACT574NSRE4 RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes - the SN74ACT574NSRE4 is RoHS compliant and features a lead-free NIPDAU (nickel/palladium/gold) lead finish, as documented in the Package Option Addendum. It carries a Level-1 moisture sensitivity rating (MSL-1) with unlimited floor life at ≤30°C/60% RH, and meets JEDEC J-STD-020 reflow profile requirements up to 260°C peak, confirming full compliance with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and related environmental standards.
