Product details
Overview
SN74AHC574PWRE4 from Texas Instruments is an octal edge-triggered D-type flip-flop with 3-state outputs, designed for bus interface applications including I/O port buffering and bidirectional data routing. It operates from 2 V to 5.5 V, supports 5.5-V tolerant inputs for 5 V-to-3.3 V level translation, and delivers ±8 mA output drive at 5 V with propagation delays as low as 5.6 ns (tPLH/tPHL, CL = 15 pF). It is used in network switches, surveillance cameras, and infotainment systems.
For engineers reviewing the SN74AHC574PWRE4 datasheet, SN74AHC574PWRE4 pinout, SN74AHC574PWRE4 application, or SN74AHC574PWRE4 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 20-pin SOIC (DW) package, 3-state output control via OE, edge-triggered synchronous latching behavior, and compatibility with mixed-voltage bus environments requiring low-output ringing and high-impedance isolation.
Technical Context
The SN74AHC574PWRE4 implements eight independent D-type latches synchronized to the rising edge of CLK, with each Q output reflecting the corresponding D input state after clock assertion. Its buffered OE input enables simultaneous high-impedance tri-state control across all eight outputs, eliminating bus contention without external pull-ups.
It uses advanced AHC CMOS technology delivering balanced rise/fall times, slow-edge optimization to suppress output ringing into capacitive loads, and 5.5-V tolerant inputs that operate correctly across VCC = 2 V–5.5 V - enabling robust voltage-level translation in heterogeneous logic systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Family | AHC - Advanced High-Speed CMOS, offering lower power than AC while maintaining higher speed than HC. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2 V to 5.5 V - supports single-supply operation across 3.3 V and 5 V systems, with 5.5-V tolerant inputs enabling safe interfacing to higher-voltage logic. |
| Output Drive | ±8 mA at VCC = 5 V - sufficient to drive standard TTL loads and moderate-capacitance buses without external buffers. |
| Propagation Delay | 5.6 ns (tPLH/tPHL, VCC = 5 V, CL = 15 pF) - enables reliable operation up to 110 MHz fMAX in 5 V systems. |
| Input Transition Rate | 20 ns/V (VCC = 5 V) - ensures stable sampling of slow-rising signals and reduces sensitivity to noise-induced false triggering. |
| ESD Protection | ±2000 V HBM, ±1000 V CDM - exceeds JEDEC standards, supporting robust handling in automated assembly and field-deployed equipment. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for industrial and extended-temperature embedded applications including networking and video infrastructure. |
Pinout & Package
SN74AHC574PWRE4 is packaged in a 20-pin SOIC (DW) body measuring 12.80 mm × 10.3 mm, with 12.8 mm × 7.5 mm body size and RoHS-compliant NiPdAu lead finish. It features gull-wing leads, 1.27 mm pitch, and moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 1 (unlimited floor life at ≤30°C/60% RH).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OE) | Output Enable Input | Active-low control: drives all Q outputs to high-impedance when low; enables normal logic states when high. |
| 2–9 (1D–8D) | Data Inputs | Asynchronous D inputs for each of eight flip-flop channels; accept 5.5-V tolerant logic levels regardless of VCC. |
| 10 (GND) | Ground Reference | Primary return path for logic and output currents; must be low-impedance and decoupled per layout guidelines. |
| 11 (CLK) | Clock Input | Rising-edge-triggered synchronous input; latches all D inputs to Q outputs on active transition. |
| 12–19 (8Q–1Q) | Tri-State Outputs | Octal buffered outputs with 3-state capability; high-impedance when OE is low, otherwise reflect latched D values. |
| 20 (VCC) | Power Supply | Single supply rail (2 V–5.5 V); requires local 0.1 µF ceramic bypass capacitor placed adjacent to pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Applications
| Network Switch Data Path | Surveillance Camera Video Interface |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Buffering parallel address/data bus between switch ASIC and external SRAM or configuration EEPROM. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Synchronous register holding control words or MAC table entries; OE enables dynamic bus arbitration during packet forwarding cycles. Use Value: 3-state outputs prevent bus contention during memory read/write transitions; 5.5-V tolerant inputs simplify integration with mixed-voltage PHY layers. | Use Scenario: Isolating and latching parallel video data streams (e.g., BT.656) between image sensor and SoC video processor.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LV574APWRE4 | Lower VCC range (1.65 V–5.5 V), reduced drive (±6 mA @ 3.3 V), slower max frequency (85 MHz @ 3.3 V). | Better suited for ultra-low-voltage portable designs; less suitable for 5 V legacy bus loading. | Select when system VCC ≤3.3 V and lower power consumption is prioritized over 5 V drive capability. |
| 74ACT574SCX | Higher drive (±24 mA @ 5 V), faster tPLH (3.5 ns), but no 5.5-V tolerant inputs and narrower temp range (–40°C to +85°C). | Preferred for high-speed 5 V-only systems where bus loading exceeds 8 mA per line. | Choose only if full 5 V operation is guaranteed and 5 V-to-3.3 V translation is handled externally. |
Compared with SN74LV574APWRE4 and 74ACT574SCX, SN74AHC574PWRE4 uniquely balances 5.5-V input tolerance, industrial temperature rating, and moderate drive strength - making it optimal for mixed-voltage industrial and automotive bus interfaces where reliability and voltage flexibility outweigh peak speed or ultra-low power.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by SN74AHC574PWRE4?
SN74AHC574PWRE4 supports up to 110 MHz maximum operating frequency (fMAX) under 5 V supply and 15 pF load conditions. At 3.3 V, fMAX drops to 65 MHz. These values assume proper PCB layout, decoupling, and termination - actual system-level timing must account for board-level skew and setup/hold margins relative to the clock source driving SN74AHC574PWRE4.
Does SN74AHC574PWRE4 require external pull-up resistors on its outputs?
No, SN74AHC574PWRE4 does not require external pull-up resistors on its outputs. Its 3-state outputs actively drive high or low when enabled (OE high), and enter high-impedance (not floating) when disabled (OE low). Pull-ups are unnecessary unless a specific bus protocol mandates weak-high default states - which is not inherent to SN74AHC574PWRE4 functionality.
Can SN74AHC574PWRE4 safely interface a 5 V microcontroller with a 3.3 V FPGA?
Yes, SN74AHC574PWRE4 can safely interface a 5 V microcontroller with a 3.3 V FPGA. Its 5.5-V tolerant inputs accept 5 V logic levels even when VCC = 3.3 V, and its outputs swing rail-to-rail within the 3.3 V domain. This eliminates level-shifter ICs in unidirectional data paths - though direction control (via OE and CLK timing) must be managed by the system designer to avoid bus contention.
What is the recommended bypass capacitor for SN74AHC574PWRE4?
Texas Instruments recommends a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor placed as close as possible to the VCC pin (Pin 20) of SN74AHC574PWRE4. For systems with multiple power domains or high-noise environments, paralleling a 1 µF capacitor improves low-frequency decoupling. The ground connection must be short and low-inductance to maintain effective noise suppression for SN74AHC574PWRE4 timing integrity.
Is SN74AHC574PWRE4 pin-compatible with other 20-pin octal D-flip-flops like SN74LS574N?
No, SN74AHC574PWRE4 is not pin-compatible with SN74LS574N. While both are 20-pin octal D-flip-flops with 3-state outputs, SN74LS574N uses a different pinout: its OE is on Pin 13 (not Pin 1), and Q outputs are arranged differently (e.g., 1Q on Pin 2, not Pin 19). Substituting SN74AHC574PWRE4 for LS-series devices requires PCB redesign - always verify pin mapping using the official TI SN74AHC574PWRE4 datasheet before layout.
