Product details
Overview
SN74ALS576BNS from Texas Instruments is an octal D-type edge-triggered flip-flop with 3-state inverting outputs, designed for bus driving in digital systems. It features bus-structured pinout, buffered control inputs, and operates over 0°C to 70°C with 5 V supply. It enters data on the low-to-high clock transition and supports bidirectional bus interfacing in I/O ports and buffer registers.
For engineers reviewing the SN74ALS576BNS datasheet, SN74ALS576BNS pinout, SN74ALS576BNS application, or SN74ALS576BNS equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3-state inverting output architecture, 30 MHz maximum clock frequency, 24 mA low-level output drive, and compatibility with standard TTL logic levels in industrial bus interface designs.
Technical Context
This device implements eight independent D-type latches synchronized to the rising edge of CLK, each with individually controllable 3-state outputs via OE. Internal operations continue regardless of OE state-data can be latched while outputs remain high-impedance.
The SN74ALS576BNS uses ALS (Advanced Low-Power Schottky) bipolar technology, delivering improved speed-power trade-offs versus standard LS logic: 14 ns typical propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL), 18 ns max enable/disable times, and guaranteed operation up to 30 MHz at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V and CL = 50 pF.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Family | ALS (Advanced Low-Power Schottky) - enables higher speed than LS with lower power consumption |
| Function | Octal D-type edge-triggered flip-flop with 3-state inverting outputs - provides latch + bus isolation in one package |
| Max Clock Frequency | 30 MHz - supports high-speed synchronous data capture in bus-controlled systems |
| Output Drive | IOL = 24 mA / IOH = −2.6 mA - sufficient to directly drive standard TTL loads without external buffers |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to 70°C - qualified for commercial-grade embedded and industrial control applications |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - compatible with regulated 5 V rails and tolerant of minor supply variation |
| Propagation Delay | tPLH/tPHL ≤ 14 ns - ensures tight timing margins in high-frequency address/data latching |
Pinout & Package
SOP-20 (NS) package: 20-pin small-outline plastic package with gull-wing leads, 1.27 mm pitch, 7.6 mm × 12.8 mm body, RoHS-compliant NiPdAu lead finish, MSL Level-1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 | Data Inputs (1D–8D) | Asynchronous parallel data inputs latched on CLK↑; direct connection to upstream data sources |
| 9 | GND | Power ground reference for all internal circuitry and output drivers |
| 10 | VCC | +5 V supply rail; decoupling capacitor required adjacent to pin for noise suppression |
| 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 | Inverted 3-State Outputs (1Q–8Q) | Active-low latched outputs; high-impedance when OE = HIGH - enables shared bus arbitration |
| 19 | CLK | Clock input triggering edge-sensitive latching on rising edge only |
| 20 | OE | Output-enable control; LOW enables outputs, HIGH disables all Q pins to high-Z - no effect on internal latch state |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bus-structured pinout | Input/output pairing (e.g., 1D/1Q adjacent) minimizes trace crossovers and simplifies PCB layout for parallel bus routing |
| Buffered control inputs | CLK and OE inputs include Schottky-clamped buffers - improves noise immunity and reduces sensitivity to slow-rising signals |
| Independent output disable | OE assertion does not disrupt internal latch state - allows data retention during bus contention or reconfiguration |
| ALS process optimization | Delivers 30 MHz operation with ICC ≤ 30 mA (outputs disabled) - balances speed, power, and thermal performance in dense logic arrays |
| Standard 5 V TTL compatibility | VIH = 2.0 V / VIL = 0.8 V thresholds ensure interoperability with legacy 74LS/74F logic families without level-shifting |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Modules | Legacy Bus Interface Adapters |

FAQ
What is the function of the OE pin on the SN74ALS576BNS?
The OE (Output Enable) pin on the SN74ALS576BNS controls the 3-state output drivers independently of internal latch operation. When OE is LOW, outputs 1Q–8Q drive active-low latched data; when OE is HIGH, all outputs enter high-impedance state. Critically, OE has no effect on data capture or storage - the SN74ALS576BNS continues latching new data on CLK↑ even while outputs are disabled, enabling seamless bus arbitration without data loss.
Does the SN74ALS576BNS have a synchronous clear function?
No, the SN74ALS576BNS does not include a synchronous clear (CLR) input. It is functionally distinct from the SN74ALS577A, which adds a dedicated CLR pin for simultaneous reset of all eight flip-flops on the next CLK↑. The SN74ALS576BNS relies on external reset circuitry or data initialization via D inputs - this simplifies design where per-latch control suffices and avoids the 24-pin package and timing overhead of CLR assertion.
What package type is used for the SN74ALS576BNS part number?
The SN74ALS576BNS uses a 20-pin SOP (Small Outline Package) with NS suffix, featuring gull-wing leads, 1.27 mm pitch, and dimensions of 7.6 mm × 12.8 mm. It is RoHS-compliant with NiPdAu lead finish and MSL Level-1 rating, making it suitable for standard reflow assembly without moisture sensitivity concerns. This differs from the SN74ALS576BDWR (SOIC-DW) and SN74ALS576BN (PDIP-N) variants.
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the SN74ALS576BNS?
The SN74ALS576BNS supports a maximum clock frequency of 30 MHz under recommended operating conditions (VCC = 4.5–5.5 V, TA = 0°C to 70°C, CL = 50 pF). This specification is verified per TI's SDAS065B datasheet and reflects guaranteed timing performance across temperature and voltage extremes - not a typical or characterization-only value. Operation beyond 30 MHz risks setup/hold violations and metastability.
How does the SN74ALS576BNS differ from the SN74AS576 series?
The SN74ALS576BNS uses Advanced Low-Power Schottky (ALS) technology, optimized for balanced speed and power (30 MHz, ICC ≤ 30 mA), whereas SN74AS576 employs Advanced Schottky (AS) for higher speed (125 MHz) at increased power (ICC ≤ 135 mA) and reduced noise margin. The SN74ALS576BNS offers superior noise immunity and lower static current, making it preferable for commercial bus interfaces where 30 MHz suffices; SN74AS576 targets ultra-fast timing-critical paths.
