Product details
Overview
SN74ALS574BNS 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 from 0°C to 70°C, supports 5 V supply (4.5–5.5 V), delivers ±24 mA output drive, and achieves up to 35 MHz clock frequency. It is used in I/O port buffering and bidirectional data bus interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SN74ALS574BNS datasheet, SN74ALS574BNS pinout, SN74ALS574BNS application, or SN74ALS574BNS equivalent, key selection criteria include its bus-structured 20-pin SOIC (NS) package, edge-triggered synchronous data capture on CLK↑, independent 3-state control via OE, and compatibility with TTL-level logic families in legacy industrial and computing systems.
Technical Context
This device implements eight independent D-type latches triggered on the rising edge of CLK, with separate 3-state output enable (OE) that does not affect internal state retention. Its buffered control inputs reduce loading on upstream drivers and improve noise immunity.
The SN74ALS574BNS lacks synchronous clear (CLR) - unlike SN74ALS575A - and uses a dedicated bus-oriented pinout where data inputs (1D–8D) and outputs (1Q–8Q) are interleaved to minimize trace skew on PCBs. It belongs to the ALS (Advanced Low-Power Schottky) logic family, offering lower power than standard LS while maintaining compatible voltage thresholds.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
SN74ALS574BNS is housed in a 20-pin small-outline package (SOP-20, package code NS), with 1.27 mm pitch, 7.5 mm body width, and 2.65 mm max height. Pin 1 is marked by a beveled corner or notch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OE (Output Enable) | Active-low 3-state control; disables all Q outputs without affecting internal latch state |
| 2–9 | 1D–8D | Data inputs; sampled on rising CLK edge and stored in respective D-flip-flops |
| 10 | GND | Ground reference for logic and power return path |
| 11 | VCC | +5 V supply pin; decoupling capacitor required near this pin |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal D-type latch applications.

|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ALS574BN | Same ALS logic, identical electrical specs, but in 20-pin PDIP (N) through-hole package | Suitable for prototyping, manual assembly, or legacy through-hole PCBs; lacks RoHS exemption status | Select SN74ALS574BN for breadboarding or repair of existing through-hole designs where SOP rework is impractical |
| SN74AS574N | AS-family variant: higher speed (100 MHz fmax), stronger drive (±48 mA), but higher ICC (~126 mA) | Better suited for high-performance bus backplanes requiring faster settling and tighter timing margins | Choose SN74AS574N only if system clock exceeds 35 MHz or load capacitance demands >24 mA sink/source |
Compared with SN74ALS574BN and SN74AS574N, the SN74ALS574BNS offers optimal balance of speed, power, and surface-mount compatibility for cost-sensitive commercial embedded systems - especially where legacy bus timing and RoHS compliance are both required.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by SN74ALS574BNS?
The SN74ALS574BNS supports a maximum clock frequency of 35 MHz under recommended operating conditions (VCC = 4.5–5.5 V, CL = 50 pF). This value is verified per the SDAS165B datasheet and reflects guaranteed performance across the full 0°C to 70°C temperature range. Exceeding 35 MHz may result in setup/hold violations or metastability. The SN74ALS574BNS must be operated within this limit to ensure reliable edge-triggered data capture.
Does SN74ALS574BNS include a synchronous clear (CLR) function?
No, the SN74ALS574BNS does not include a synchronous clear (CLR) input. It is functionally distinct from the SN74ALS575A, which adds CLR for global reset. The SN74ALS574BNS relies solely on individual D-input control and OE for output management. If synchronous reset is required, designers must use external logic or select SN74ALS575A - noting its different 24-pin package and timing characteristics.
What package type is used for SN74ALS574BNS?
The SN74ALS574BNS uses a 20-pin small-outline package (SOP) with designation NS. It measures 12.0 mm × 7.5 mm, has 1.27 mm lead pitch, and complies with RoHS requirements. This surface-mount package replaces older PDIP variants for automated assembly and space-constrained layouts, while maintaining pin compatibility with other 20-pin SN74ALS574B variants.
Can SN74ALS574BNS drive standard TTL loads directly?
Yes, the SN74ALS574BNS can drive standard TTL loads directly. Its output drive capability of –24 mA (sink) and +24 mA (source) meets or exceeds the input current requirements of legacy TTL devices (e.g., 74LS series). With VOH ≥ 2.4 V and VOL ≤ 0.4 V under full load, it maintains valid logic levels across worst-case fanout scenarios without external buffers.
How does the OE pin behave during active latching in SN74ALS574BNS?
In the SN74ALS574BNS, the OE (output enable) pin is fully independent of internal latch operation. When OE is high (disabled), all Q outputs enter high-impedance state, but stored data remains intact and unaffected by subsequent CLK transitions or D-input changes. This allows seamless data retention and new data loading while outputs are tri-stated - essential for bus arbitration and hot-swap scenarios.
