Product details
Overview
SN74AHCT574PW 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 SN74AHCT574PW datasheet, SN74AHCT574PW pinout, SN74AHCT574PW application, or SN74AHCT574PW equivalent, key selection criteria include its 20-pin TSSOP 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 SN74AHCT574PW 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 single active-low OE input, enabling bidirectional bus driving without external pull-ups.
It features TTL-voltage-compatible inputs for seamless 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). The device operates within strict recommended conditions: VCC = 4.5–5.5 V, VI = 0–5.5 V, and IOH/IOL = ±8 mA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Function | Octal D-type transparent latch with 3-state outputs, edge-triggered on CLK rising edge |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures compatibility with standard 5-V digital systems and stable noise margin |
| Input Compatibility | TTL-level inputs (VIH = 2 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max) - enables direct interfacing with legacy 5-V TTL logic |
| Output Drive | ±8 mA per output at VCC = 4.5 V - sufficient for driving moderate-capacitance buses without signal degradation |
| Propagation Delay | tPLH/tPHL ≤ 13 ns at CL = 50 pF - supports reliable operation in 10-MHz+ synchronous bus environments |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for industrial and automotive under-hood applications |
| ESD Rating | ±2000 V HBM, ±1000 V CDM - exceeds JEDEC standards for robust handling in automated assembly |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-20 (PW) package: 6.50 mm × 6.40 mm body size, 0.65-mm lead pitch, surface-mount, RoHS-compliant with NIPDAU lead finish and MSL Level-1 rating.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OE) | Output Enable (active-low) | Asserting low places all eight Q outputs in high-impedance state; critical for bus arbitration and multi-driver systems |
| 2–9 (1D–8D) | Data inputs | Asynchronous inputs sampled on CLK rising edge; TTL-compatible thresholds simplify interface with mixed-voltage logic |
| 10 (GND) | Ground reference | Common return path for all internal circuitry; must be low-impedance to minimize ground bounce during switching |
| 11 (CLK) | Clock input | Rising-edge-sensitive control signal; determines latch timing; requires clean, monotonic transitions per Δt/Δv ≤ 20 ns/V spec |
| 12–19 (8Q–1Q) | Tri-state outputs | Driven outputs reflect latched D values when OE is low; high-Z state isolates bus lines during contention or idle periods |
| 20 (VCC) | Power supply | 5-V nominal supply; requires local 0.1-μF bypass capacitor to suppress switching noise and ensure stable internal biasing |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| TTL-input compatibility | VIH = 2 V min / VIL = 0.8 V max enables direct connection to legacy 5-V TTL outputs without level-shifting circuitry |
| Controlled output edge rate | Slower rise/fall times reduce overshoot and undershoot on PCB traces, minimizing EMI and signal integrity issues |
| High-impedance 3-state outputs | OE-controlled tri-state capability allows safe sharing of common data buses among multiple drivers without contention |
| Industrial temperature range | Specified operation from –40°C to +125°C supports deployment in harsh environments including power infrastructure and motor controls |
| Robust ESD protection | ±2000-V HBM and ±1000-V CDM ratings exceed JEDEC requirements, reducing field failure risk during handling and assembly |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal latch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74AHCT574PWR | Same silicon die and electrical specs; differs only in packaging - tape-and-reel (2000 pcs) vs. tube (obsolete PW variant) | Identical functional behavior and pinout; suitable for new designs requiring volume procurement and automated placement | Select SN74AHCT574PWR for production builds; SN74AHCT574PW is obsolete and no longer stocked by TI. |
| 74LVC574APW | 3.3-V-only operation (1.65–3.6 V), lower drive (±24 mA), higher speed (tPD ≈ 5.3 ns), and different input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V @ VCC = 3.3 V) | Requires level-shifting for 5-V systems; better suited for low-power, high-speed 3.3-V FPGA or ASIC interfaces | Choose 74LVC574APW only when migrating to 3.3-V logic domains; not drop-in compatible with SN74AHCT574PW due to supply and voltage threshold mismatch. |
Compared with SN74AHCT574PW, SN74AHCT574PWR offers identical performance in a currently available package format, while 74LVC574APW provides faster timing and lower voltage operation but mandates system-level voltage domain changes and is not functionally interchangeable in 5-V applications.

FAQ
What is the operating voltage range for the SN74AHCT574PW?
The SN74AHCT574PW operates over a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V, as specified in the Recommended Operating Conditions table. This ensures compatibility with standard 5-V digital systems while maintaining adequate noise margins and stable logic thresholds. Operation outside this range may result in undefined behavior or reduced reliability.
Does the SN74AHCT574PW support 3.3-V input logic levels?
Yes, the SN74AHCT574PW supports 3.3-V input logic levels due to its TTL-compatible input thresholds: VIH is guaranteed ≥2.0 V and VIL ≤0.8 V at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V. This allows direct interfacing with 3.3-V microcontrollers and FPGAs without external level shifters, making it ideal for mixed-voltage system integration.
What is the maximum output current per pin on the SN74AHCT574PW?
The SN74AHCT574PW delivers ±8 mA per output pin under recommended operating conditions (VCC = 4.5 V, TA = –40°C to 125°C). This drive strength is optimized for driving moderately capacitive buses (e.g., up to 50 pF) while limiting ground bounce and EMI. Total device output current should not exceed ±75 mA.
Is the SN74AHCT574PW pin-compatible with other packages in the same family?
Yes, the SN74AHCT574PW shares identical pinout and functionality with other 20-pin variants including SN74AHCT574DBR (SSOP), SN74AHCT574DWR (SOIC), and SN74AHCT574N (PDIP). All adhere to the standard 74-series pin assignment for octal latches, enabling layout reuse across package types when thermal or space constraints permit.
What does the 'PW' suffix indicate in SN74AHCT574PW?
The 'PW' suffix denotes the TSSOP-20 (Thin Shrink Small Outline Package) variant of the SN74AHCT574PW, featuring a 6.50 mm × 6.40 mm body size, 0.65-mm lead pitch, and surface-mount construction. Though SN74AHCT574PW itself is marked obsolete in TI's packaging addendum, its pinout and electrical behavior remain identical to the active SN74AHCT574PWR variant.
