Product details
Overview
SN74ALS577ADWR 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 synchronous clear (CLR), buffered control inputs, and operates at up to 30 MHz clock frequency over 0°C to 70°C. It drives TTL-compatible bus lines directly and retains data during output disable.
For engineers reviewing the SN74ALS577ADWR datasheet, SN74ALS577ADWR pinout, SN74ALS577ADWR application, or SN74ALS577ADWR equivalent, this device is selected for high-speed bidirectional bus interfaces requiring latch-and-drive capability, low propagation delay (≤14 ns), and robust 3-state control in legacy industrial control and data acquisition systems.
Technical Context
This device implements eight independent D-type latches triggered on the low-to-high CLK transition, each with separate 3-state inverting output enabled by OE. The synchronous CLR input resets all Q outputs to logic high simultaneously, independent of clock edge timing.
Its bus-structured pinout (dual-row SOIC-24) separates data inputs (1D–8D), outputs (1Q–8Q), and control signals (CLK, OE, CLR) to minimize crosstalk. Buffered OE and CLR inputs reduce loading on upstream drivers and support clean enable/disable sequencing across multi-device buses.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal D-type latch with 3-state output applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ALS576BDWR | Lacks synchronous CLR; uses asynchronous master reset (MR) instead; same pinout except pin 21 is MR, not CLR | Less suitable for systems requiring atomic register reset aligned to clock edge; preferred where asynchronous reset suffices | Select SN74ALS576BDWR only if synchronous timing of reset is unnecessary and MR functionality meets design intent |
| SN74AS576N | Faster (125 MHz max), higher drive (48 mA sink), but wider supply range (4.5–5.5 V) and no synchronous CLR; PDIP-20 package differs from SOIC-24 | Better for high-speed bus buffering but incompatible pinout and thermal profile; requires PCB redesign | Choose SN74AS576N only when speed >30 MHz is mandatory and layout changes are acceptable |
Compared with SN74ALS576BDWR and SN74AS576N, the SN74ALS577ADWR uniquely combines synchronous clear, SOIC-24 bus-optimized pinout, and 30 MHz operation-making it the only drop-in solution for legacy designs requiring clock-aligned reset without layout modification.

FAQ
What is the function of pin 21 on the SN74ALS577ADWR?
Pin 21 on the SN74ALS577ADWR is the synchronous clear (CLR) input. When asserted low, it forces all eight Q outputs to logic high on the next rising edge of the CLK signal. Unlike asynchronous reset, CLR operates synchronously with the clock, ensuring deterministic timing behavior critical for bus arbitration and state-machine initialization in the SN74ALS577ADWR.
Does the SN74ALS577ADWR support hot insertion or live bus swapping?
The SN74ALS577ADWR does not include explicit hot-swap protection circuitry. Its absolute maximum rating allows up to 5.5 V on disabled 3-state outputs, but sustained exposure to bus transients during insertion may exceed safe limits. For live bus applications, external series resistors and clamping diodes are recommended. The SN74ALS577ADWR's 3-state outputs isolate the device electrically when OE is high, but full hot-swap compliance requires system-level design beyond the SN74ALS577ADWR's specifications.
What is the minimum pulse width required for the CLK input of the SN74ALS577ADWR?
The SN74ALS577ADWR requires a minimum pulse width of 16.5 ns for both high and low states of the CLK signal, as specified in the recommended operating conditions. This ensures reliable edge detection and internal state capture. Violating this specification risks metastability or missed clock edges. The SN74ALS577ADWR's tw requirement is verified across the full 0°C to 70°C temperature range and 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply range.
Can the SN74ALS577ADWR drive standard TTL loads directly?
Yes, the SN74ALS577ADWR can drive standard TTL loads directly. Its low-level output current (IOL) is rated at 24 mA minimum, sufficient to sink current from up to 10 standard TTL inputs (each requiring ~1.6 mA). Its VOL remains ≤0.4 V under this load, meeting TTL logic-low threshold requirements. This capability eliminates the need for external buffer stages in most legacy TTL bus implementations using the SN74ALS577ADWR.
Is the SN74ALS577ADWR pin-compatible with the SN74ALS576B series?
No, the SN74ALS577ADWR is not pin-compatible with the SN74ALS576B series. While both are octal D-type devices in SOIC packages, the SN74ALS577ADWR uses a 24-pin SOIC-DW package with dedicated CLR (pin 21) and three NC pins (22–24), whereas SN74ALS576BDWR uses a 20-pin SOIC-DW with MR (master reset) on pin 19 and no NC pins. The pin count, assignment, and control signal mapping differ fundamentally between the SN74ALS577ADWR and SN74ALS576B variants.
