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 5 V, supports up to 35 MHz clock frequency, features 20-pin SOP (NS) package, and delivers ±24 mA output drive capability. It is used in I/O port expansion and bidirectional data bus buffering in industrial control logic.
For engineers reviewing the SN74ALS574B datasheet, SN74ALS574B pinout, SN74ALS574B application, or SN74ALS574B equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3-state bus interface capability, edge-triggered synchronous data capture, low propagation delay (≤14 ns), and compatibility with TTL-level input thresholds and 5 V supply rails.
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 register state. Its buffered inputs reduce loading on upstream drivers, and its bus-structured pinout minimizes trace crosstalk in high-density PCB layouts.
It lacks synchronous clear functionality-unlike the SN74ALS575A-making it suitable for applications requiring pure edge-triggered storage without reset coordination across all bits. Its ALS (Advanced Low-Power Schottky) logic family ensures lower power consumption than standard LS while maintaining TTL-compatible voltage levels.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Family | ALS (Advanced Low-Power Schottky), TTL-compatible input thresholds and output swing |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - compatible with standard 5 V digital rails and tolerant of minor rail droop |
| Max Clock Frequency | 35 MHz - supports high-speed data latching in legacy microprocessor data buses |
| Output Drive | ±24 mA - sufficient to directly drive 50 Ω transmission lines or multiple TTL loads |
| Propagation Delay | tPLH/tPHL ≤ 14 ns - enables reliable timing closure in sub-30 ns system cycles |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to 70°C - rated for commercial/industrial ambient environments |
| Package | 20-pin SOP (NS) - surface-mount, RoHS-compliant, 12.0 mm × 7.5 mm footprint |
Pinout & Package
SN74ALS574B is supplied 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; the device uses standard dual-in-line pin numbering with OE, CLK, eight D inputs (1D–8D), eight Q outputs (1Q–8Q), VCC, and GND.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OE (Output Enable) | Active-low 3-state control; decouples outputs from bus without affecting internal latch state |
| 2–9 | 1D–8D | Data inputs synchronized to rising CLK edge; TTL-compatible thresholds (VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VIH ≥ 2 V) |
| 10 | GND | Ground reference for all logic and output stages |
| 11 | VCC | Positive supply (4.5–5.5 V); powers internal logic and output buffers |
| 12–19 | 1Q–8Q | Noninverting 3-state outputs; capable of sourcing/sinking 24 mA in active state |
| 20 | CLK | Clock input; rising-edge sensitive; minimum pulse width 14 ns high/low |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 3-State Noninverting Outputs | Enables direct connection to shared data buses without external bus transceivers |
| Bus-Structured Pinout | Groups D and Q pins contiguously to simplify PCB routing and minimize signal skew |
| Buffered Control Inputs | Reduces capacitive loading on CLK and OE lines, improving fanout and noise immunity |
| Rising-Edge Triggering | Ensures deterministic sampling of data relative to clock edge, critical for synchronous bus protocols |
| ALS Logic Family | Delivers 35 MHz operation with ~17 mA typical ICC (outputs enabled), balancing speed and power |
Applications

Use Value: Buffered inputs reject crosstalk; bus-structured layout simplifies fixture wiring and improves signal integrity at 35 MHz. |
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 electrical specs, but in 20-pin PDIP (N) package | Through-hole mounting; suited for prototyping, repair, or legacy through-hole PCBs | Select SN74ALS574BN for hand-soldered or socketed designs where SOP reflow is impractical |
| SN74AS574N | AS family: higher speed (100 MHz fmax), higher drive (±48 mA), but higher ICC (~126 mA) | Used where timing margins are tighter or bus loading exceeds ALS capability | Choose SN74AS574N only when >35 MHz operation or >24 mA drive is required; verify thermal budget |
Compared with SN74ALS574BN and SN74AS574N, the SN74ALS574B offers optimal balance of speed, power, and surface-mount compatibility for cost-sensitive industrial control and legacy bus interfaces - retaining full functional equivalence with the BN variant while enabling automated assembly.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the SN74ALS574B?
The SN74ALS574B supports a maximum clock frequency of 35 MHz under recommended operating conditions (VCC = 4.5 V to 5.5 V, CL = 50 pF). This value is specified in the switching characteristics table of the SDAS165B datasheet and reflects guaranteed performance across the full 0°C to 70°C temperature range. The SN74ALS574B achieves this speed while maintaining ALS-family power efficiency.
Does the SN74ALS574B have a synchronous clear (CLR) input?
No, the SN74ALS574B does not include a synchronous clear input. Unlike the SN74ALS575A or SN74AS575 variants, the SN74ALS574B has only CLK and OE control inputs. Its eight D-type flip-flops are edge-triggered on CLK↑ and retain state until new data is clocked in or power is cycled. This makes the SN74ALS574B ideal for applications requiring pure data capture without global reset coordination.
What package type is used for the SN74ALS574B part number SN74ALS574BNSR?
The SN74ALS574BNSR uses a 20-pin small-outline package (SOP) with designation NS. It is RoHS-compliant, has a 1.27 mm lead pitch, measures 12.0 mm × 7.5 mm, and is supplied in tape-and-reel format (2000 units per reel). This package is distinct from the DW (SOIC) and N (PDIP) variants, offering a compact surface-mount solution optimized for automated assembly.
Can the SN74ALS574B drive standard TTL loads directly?
Yes, the SN74ALS574B can drive standard TTL loads directly. Its outputs provide 24 mA sink current and –24 mA source current at VCC = 4.5 V, exceeding the ±16 mA requirement of standard TTL. Combined with VOH ≥ 2.4 V (at IOL = 12 mA) and VOL ≤ 0.4 V, the SN74ALS574B meets all DC interface specifications for driving 74LS, 74ALS, and 74F families without level-shifting circuitry.
Is the SN74ALS574B pin-compatible with the SN74AS574 series?
The SN74ALS574B and SN74AS574 share identical pinouts and package footprints (e.g., both use 20-pin NS, DW, or N packages), but they are not functionally interchangeable without design review. While pin mapping matches, the AS family has different timing (e.g., 100 MHz vs. 35 MHz), higher drive, and greater power consumption. System-level timing and thermal validation is required before substituting SN74AS574 for SN74ALS574B.
