Product details
Overview
SN74AHCT574DW from Texas Instruments is an octal edge-triggered D-type flip-flop with 3-state outputs, designed for bus interface applications requiring TTL-compatible inputs (VIH = 2 V, VIL = 0.8 V), 5-V supply operation (4.5–5.5 V), and high-impedance output control via OE. It drives capacitive or low-impedance loads in microcontroller I/O expansion and data latching circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SN74AHCT574DW datasheet, SN74AHCT574DW pinout, SN74AHCT574DW application, or SN74AHCT574DW equivalent, key selection criteria include its 20-pin SOIC (DW) package, 8-bit transparent latch functionality with clock-edge triggering, 3-state output enable timing (tPZH/tPLZ ≤ 11.5 ns at CL = 50 pF), and industrial temperature range (–40°C to 125°C).
Technical Context
The SN74AHCT574DW implements eight independent D-type latches synchronized to the rising edge of CLK, with each Q output reflecting the corresponding D input state upon clock transition. Its 3-state outputs are controlled by a common active-low OE signal, enabling bidirectional bus sharing without external pull-ups.
It features TTL-voltage-compatible inputs that support 3.3-V-to-5-V level translation, slow edge rates to suppress output ringing, and robust ESD protection (±2000-V HBM, ±1000-V CDM). Absolute maximum ratings include VCC up to 7 V and continuous output current of ±25 mA per pin.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Function | Octal D-type transparent latch with 3-state outputs |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures compatibility with standard 5-V digital systems |
| Input Thresholds | VIH = 2 V, VIL = 0.8 V - enables direct interfacing with TTL and 3.3-V logic |
| Output Drive | ±8 mA at VOH/VOL - sufficient for driving moderate capacitive loads without signal degradation |
| Propagation Delay | tPLH/tPHL ≤ 13 ns at CL = 50 pF - supports reliable operation in 110-MHz max clock systems |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to 125°C - qualified for industrial and extended-temperature embedded applications |
| ESD Rating | ±2000 V HBM - meets JEDEC JS-001 for robust handling in manufacturing environments |
Pinout & Package
SN74AHCT574DW uses a 20-pin SOIC (DW) package measuring 12.8 mm × 10.3 mm (body: 12.8 mm × 7.5 mm), optimized for through-hole and surface-mount PCB assembly with standard reflow profiles.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OE | Active-low output enable - disables all Q outputs into high-impedance state when high |
| 2–9 | 1D–8D | Data inputs - latch values on rising CLK edge; TTL-compatible thresholds |
| 10 | GND | Ground reference - must be connected to system ground plane for noise immunity |
| 11 | CLK | Clock input - positive-edge-triggered; controls simultaneous latching of all 8 bits |
| 12–19 | 8Q–1Q | Tri-state outputs - driven low/high when OE is low; high-Z when OE is high |
| 20 | VCC | Power supply - requires local 0.1-μF bypass capacitor adjacent to pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| TTL-compatible inputs | Supports direct connection to legacy 3.3-V and 5-V TTL logic without level shifters |
| 3-state output control | Enables shared bus architectures with no contention risk when OE is asserted |
| Slow edge rate design | Reduces output ringing and EMI in high-speed digital interconnects |
| Industrial temperature range | Validated operation from –40°C to 125°C for harsh-environment deployments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal latch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74AHCT574DWR | Same silicon, tape-and-reel packaging (2000 pcs), RoHS-compliant NIPDAU finish, MSL Level-1 | Identical electrical specs and pinout; preferred for automated SMT production | Select SN74AHCT574DWR for volume manufacturing; SN74AHCT574DW is obsolete but available for legacy repair. |
| 74VHC574M | Higher speed (tPD ≈ 7.5 ns), wider VCC range (2–5.5 V), but lacks TTL input compatibility (VIH = 3.5 V min) | Suitable for 3.3-V-only systems; not drop-in for TTL-driven designs | Choose 74VHC574M only if system uses pure CMOS signaling and requires faster timing. |
Compared with SN74AHCT574DWR, the SN74AHCT574DW shares identical logic behavior and DC specs but differs in packaging status (obsolete vs. active) and sourcing traceability; versus 74VHC574M, it trades raw speed for guaranteed TTL interoperability and industrial temperature resilience.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the SN74AHCT574DW?
The SN74AHCT574DW is rated for operation from –40°C to +125°C, meeting industrial-grade thermal requirements. This range is validated across all electrical parameters including propagation delay, output drive, and input thresholds, making SN74AHCT574DW suitable for deployment in harsh environments such as factory automation controllers and outdoor test equipment.
Is the SN74AHCT574DW pin-compatible with the original 74LS574?
Yes, the SN74AHCT574DW uses the same 20-pin SOIC (DW) package and identical pinout as the 74LS574, including CLK, OE, D-inputs, Q-outputs, VCC, and GND positions. However, SN74AHCT574DW offers CMOS-level power efficiency and enhanced noise immunity while maintaining TTL-compatible input thresholds - enabling direct replacement in most legacy 74LS574 designs without layout changes.
Does the SN74AHCT574DW support 3.3-V input signals?
Yes, the SN74AHCT574DW accepts 3.3-V logic levels directly: its VIH threshold is specified at 2.0 V (min), well below 3.3 V, and VIL is 0.8 V (max), ensuring reliable recognition of low states from 3.3-V sources. This makes SN74AHCT574DW ideal for 3.3-V-to-5-V level translation in mixed-voltage systems without external buffers.
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the SN74AHCT574DW?
The SN74AHCT574DW supports a maximum clock frequency of approximately 110 MHz under typical conditions (CL = 50 pF, VCC = 5 V), derived from its worst-case propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL ≤ 13 ns) and minimum pulse width (tw ≥ 5.5 ns). For reliable timing closure, designers should verify setup/hold margins using the specified tsu = 3.5 ns and th = 1.5 ns values in their target application.
How does the output-enable (OE) function work on the SN74AHCT574DW?
The OE pin on the SN74AHCT574DW is an active-low control: when OE is low, all eight Q outputs drive high or low based on latched D-input states; when OE is high, all Q outputs enter high-impedance (Hi-Z) state, electrically disconnecting them from the bus. This allows SN74AHCT574DW to share data buses safely with other devices, eliminating contention and reducing need for external isolation components.
