Product details
Overview
SN74ALS574BDW 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, delivers ±24 mA output drive, and features bus-structured pinout with buffered OE and CLK inputs.
For engineers reviewing the SN74ALS574BDW datasheet, SN74ALS574BDW pinout, SN74ALS574BDW application, or SN74ALS574BDW equivalent, this device is selected for synchronous data latching in 8-bit parallel interfaces where high-impedance bus isolation and TTL-compatible timing are required.
Technical Context
This device implements eight independent D-type latches triggered on the low-to-high clock transition, with separate 3-state output enable (OE) control that does not affect internal state retention. Its logic architecture supports concurrent data capture and bus release without race conditions.
The SN74ALS574BDW uses Advanced Low-Power Schottky (ALS) bipolar technology, delivering faster propagation delays (tPLH/tPHL ≤ 14 ns at VCC = 5 V) and lower ICC (≤ 28 mA) than standard LS logic, while maintaining TTL input thresholds and output voltage levels.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by SN74ALS574BDW?
The SN74ALS574BDW 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). This is verified by tPLH/tPHL ≤ 14 ns and minimum pulse width requirements (tw ≥ 14 ns for CLK high/low), ensuring reliable edge-triggered data capture in synchronous digital designs using the SN74ALS574BDW.
Does SN74ALS574BDW include a synchronous clear function?
No, the SN74ALS574BDW does not include a synchronous clear (CLR) input. That feature is present only in the SN74ALS575A, SN74AS575, and SN54AS575 variants. The SN74ALS574BDW has only CLK and OE control inputs; its eight flip-flops retain state until overwritten by new data on the next clock edge, making the SN74ALS574BDW suitable for pure latch-and-hold applications without reset dependency.
What package type is used for SN74ALS574BDW?
The SN74ALS574BDW uses a 20-pin SOIC (DW) package - 7.5 mm body width, 12.8 mm length, 2.65 mm maximum height - with NiPdAu lead finish, RoHS compliance, and MSL Level-1 moisture sensitivity rating. This surface-mount package supports automated assembly and is dimensionally distinct from the PDIP (N), CFP (W), or LCCC (FK) variants listed for other members of the 74ALS574 family.
Can SN74ALS574BDW outputs drive multiple TTL loads directly?
Yes, SN74ALS574BDW outputs can drive multiple TTL loads directly: each output provides IOL = 24 mA (low-level) and IOH = –2.6 mA (high-level) at VCC = 4.5 V, meeting the fanout requirement for standard TTL (one SN74ALS574BDW output can drive ≥10 74LS inputs). Its 3-state capability further allows safe bus sharing without external buffers, confirming direct bus-line driving capability for the SN74ALS574BDW.
Is SN74ALS574BDW still in active production?
The SN74ALS574BDW is marked "Obsolete" in TI's official packaging documentation, though its tape-and-reel variant SN74ALS574BDWR remains Active with 2000-unit reels, NiPdAu finish, and MSL Level-1 rating. Aetrix Electronics maintains inventory and supply-chain continuity for the SN74ALS574BDW to support legacy system maintenance and long-lifecycle industrial deployments requiring the exact DW-package variant.
