Product details
Overview
SN74ALS574B from Texas Instruments is an octal D-type edge-triggered flip-flop with 3-state noninverting outputs, designed for bus driving in digital systems. It operates at 0°C to 70°C, supports 35 MHz clock frequency, features 12 mA low-level output drive, and uses a 20-pin SOIC (DW) package. It is used in I/O port expansion and bidirectional data bus buffering.
For engineers reviewing the SN74ALS574B datasheet, SN74ALS574B pinout, SN74ALS574B application, or SN74ALS574B equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3-state bus-compatible output architecture, edge-triggered synchronous data capture on CLK↑, and compatibility with 5-V TTL logic families in industrial control and legacy computing interfaces.
Technical Context
The SN74ALS574B implements eight independent D-type latches triggered on the rising edge of CLK, with separate 3-state output-enable (OE) control that does not affect internal state retention. Its buffered OE and CLK inputs reduce loading and improve noise immunity in high-density bus environments.
It lacks synchronous clear (CLR), distinguishing it from SN74ALS575A and AS-series variants. The device adheres to ALS (Advanced Low-Power Schottky) logic family characteristics - lower power than standard TTL while maintaining compatible voltage thresholds and drive strength.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Family | ALS (Advanced Low-Power Schottky) - ensures TTL-compatible voltage levels with reduced power vs. standard TTL. |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - supports standard 5-V digital rails with ±10% tolerance for robust operation. |
| Max Clock Frequency | 35 MHz - enables reliable data latching in medium-speed bus applications such as ISA-style peripherals. |
| Output Drive | IOL = 12 mA / IOH = –1 mA - sufficient to drive multiple TTL loads directly without external buffers. |
| Propagation Delay | tPLH/tPHL ≤ 14 ns (VCC = 4.5–5.5 V, CL = 50 pF) - ensures tight timing margins in synchronous bus designs. |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to 70°C - qualified for commercial-grade embedded and industrial control equipment. |
| Package | SOIC-20 (DW) - surface-mount footprint compatible with automated assembly and space-constrained PCB layouts. |
Pinout & Package
SN74ALS574B is housed in a 20-pin SOIC (DW) package with 0.300-inch body width and 1.27 mm pitch. Pin 1 is marked by a beveled corner or notch; pins are numbered counterclockwise from top-left.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OE (Output Enable) | Active-low 3-state control: drives outputs high-Z when high; no effect on internal latch state. |
| 2–9 | 1D–8D | Data inputs for each of eight D-type flip-flops; sampled on CLK↑ transition. |
| 10 | GND | Ground reference for all logic and output circuitry. |
| 11 | VCC | Positive supply (4.5–5.5 V); powers internal logic and output drivers. |
| 12–19 | 1Q–8Q | Noninverting 3-state outputs; reflect latched D-input values when OE is low. |
| 20 | CLK | Clock input; rising-edge sensitive; triggers simultaneous capture of all eight D inputs. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 3-State Noninverting Outputs | Enables direct connection to shared data buses without contention; OE allows dynamic bus arbitration. |
| Bus-Structured Pinout | D- and Q-pins arranged in parallel order (e.g., D1/Q1 adjacent), simplifying PCB trace routing and reducing crosstalk. |
| Buffered Control Inputs | OE and CLK inputs include Schottky-clamped buffers, improving noise rejection and fan-out capability. |
| ALS Logic Compatibility | Matches input thresholds and output drive of TTL/LS families, enabling drop-in replacement in legacy 5-V systems. |
| No Internal Clear Function | Omits CLR pin - simplifies control logic where asynchronous reset is unnecessary or handled externally. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Expansion | Legacy Computer Bus Interface |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal D-type latch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ALS574BN | Same ALS logic, identical function and timing, but in 20-pin PDIP (N) package instead of SOIC (DW). | Used where through-hole prototyping or legacy board repair is required; not suitable for SMT-only production. | Select SN74ALS574BN for hand-soldering, breadboarding, or backward compatibility with through-hole PCB footprints. |
| SN74AS574N | AS-family variant: higher speed (100 MHz fmax), stronger drive (32 mA IOL), but higher ICC (78–116 mA vs. 17–28 mA). | Suitable for high-speed bus applications needing faster timing, but requires more power and thermal management. | Choose SN74AS574N only when >35 MHz operation or >12 mA drive is mandatory; otherwise SN74ALS574B offers better power efficiency. |
Compared with SN74ALS574BN, SN74ALS574B provides identical logic behavior in a smaller, surface-mount package ideal for modern production; versus SN74AS574N, it trades peak speed for significantly lower static and dynamic power consumption in cost- and thermally constrained systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by SN74ALS574B?
The SN74ALS574B supports a maximum clock frequency of 35 MHz under recommended operating conditions (VCC = 4.5 V to 5.5 V, TA = 0°C to 70°C, CL = 50 pF). This value is specified in the switching characteristics table of the SDAS165B datasheet and reflects guaranteed timing performance across temperature and voltage extremes. Exceeding 35 MHz may result in setup/hold violations or metastability.
Does SN74ALS574B include a synchronous clear (CLR) input?
No, SN74ALS574B does not include a synchronous clear input. Unlike SN74ALS575A or SN74AS575, the SN74ALS574B has only CLK, OE, eight D inputs, and eight Q outputs - totaling 20 pins with no dedicated CLR terminal. Reset functionality must be implemented externally using OE to place outputs in high-impedance state or by cycling power/logic to the system level.
What package types are available for SN74ALS574B?
SN74ALS574B is offered in SOIC-20 (DW) and PDIP-20 (N) packages. The active tape-and-reel version is SN74ALS574BDWR (SOIC, 2000 pcs/reel), while SN74ALS574BN is the through-hole PDIP variant. Both share identical electrical specifications and pinout. Ceramic or military-grade FK/J/W packages apply only to SN54-series (–55°C to 125°C) versions, not SN74ALS574B.
Can SN74ALS574B drive standard TTL loads directly?
Yes, SN74ALS574B can drive standard TTL loads directly. Its IOL = 12 mA and IOH = –1 mA meet or exceed the TTL input current requirements (IIL = –1.6 mA, IIH = 40 µA), allowing one SN74ALS574B output to fan out to at least 10 standard TTL inputs. This eliminates the need for additional buffer stages in most 5-V bus applications.
Is SN74ALS574B RoHS compliant?
Yes, SN74ALS574BDWR and SN74ALS574BN variants are RoHS compliant, as confirmed in TI's Package Option Addendum. SN74ALS574BDWR features NiPdAu (NIPDAU) lead finish and Level-1 MSL rating; SN74ALS574BN uses the same finish and is rated for unlimited floor life. Lead-free compliance applies to all currently active production lots shipped by TI.
