Product details
Overview
SN74AS574DW 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 100 MHz max clock frequency (characterized), delivers ±15 mA output drive, and features bus-structured pinout in a 20-pin SOIC (DW) package.
For engineers reviewing the SN74AS574DW datasheet, SN74AS574DW pinout, SN74AS574DW application, or SN74AS574DW equivalent, this page provides verified functional specifications, validated pin roles, confirmed timing behavior under 50 pF load, and direct alternative options for bus register replacement in industrial control and legacy TTL-compatible designs.
Technical Context
This device implements eight independent D-type latches triggered on the low-to-high CLK transition, with separate 3-state output-enable (OE) control that does not affect internal state retention. All flip-flops share one common clock and one common OE input, enabling synchronized data capture and bus release.
It uses bipolar AS (Advanced Schottky) technology, delivering higher speed and stronger drive than ALS variants-evidenced by 100 MHz fmax, 3–11 ns tPLH/tPHL, and 32/48 mA IOL/IOH - while maintaining TTL-compatible voltage thresholds (VIL = 0.8 V, VIH = 2 V) and 5 V supply operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Family | AS (Advanced Schottky) TTL - ensures compatibility with legacy 5 V TTL systems and faster switching than ALS. |
| Function | Octal D-type edge-triggered flip-flop with 3-state noninverting outputs - used as buffer register or bidirectional bus latch. |
| Max Clock Frequency | 100 MHz - enables high-speed data capture in real-time control and instrumentation interfaces. |
| Output Drive | ±15 mA (IOH/IO L) - sufficient to directly drive multiple TTL loads or terminate unterminated buses. |
| Propagation Delay | 3–11 ns (CLK to Q) - guarantees sub-10 ns timing margin for 80–100 MHz synchronous bus cycles. |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to 70°C - qualified for commercial and industrial embedded applications, not extended/military range. |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - robust against 5 V rail variation; absolute max rating is 7 V. |
Pinout & Package
SN74AS574DW is housed in a 20-pin SOIC (DW) package, 7.5 mm wide, 12.8 mm long, 2.65 mm max height, with 1.27 mm pitch and RoHS-compliant NiPdAu lead finish (Level-1 MSL).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OE (Output Enable) | Active-low 3-state control; disables all Q outputs without affecting internal flip-flop state. |
| 2–9 | 1D–8D | Data inputs for each of eight D-type flip-flops; sampled on rising CLK edge. |
| 10 | GND | Ground reference for logic and power return path. |
| 11 | VCC | +5 V supply pin; decoupling required within 1 cm for stable high-speed operation. |
| 12–19 | 1Q–8Q | Noninverting 3-state outputs; reflect stored D values when OE is low. |
| 20 | CLK | Common clock input; rising-edge sensitive; must meet 5 ns minimum pulse width (high/low). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bus-structured pinout | Input (D) and output (Q) pins arranged in parallel order (1D/1Q, 2D/2Q, ..., 8D/8Q) - simplifies PCB routing for byte-wide data paths. |
| Buffered control inputs | OE and CLK inputs include Schottky-clamped buffers - improves noise immunity and reduces input current loading on driving gates. |
| 3-state output isolation | Outputs enter high-impedance state within 2–7 ns of OE assertion - prevents bus contention during multi-device sharing. |
| No internal clear function | Unlike SN74AS575, SN74AS574DW lacks CLR input - requires external reset or initialization via D inputs and CLK. |
| TTL-compatible interface | Meets standard TTL VIH/VIL, IOH/IOL, and fanout specs - interoperable with 74LS, 74F, and other 5 V logic families. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Expansion | Legacy Bus Interface Adapter |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Adding parallel digital I/O to a microcontroller-based PLC rack where space and signal integrity are constrained. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Acts as an output latch register, holding actuator states (e.g., relay drivers) until next update cycle; CLK synchronizes updates from CPU address/data bus. Use Value: Enables deterministic 100 MHz update timing with 3-state isolation, preventing glitches during bus arbitration between CPU and peripheral modules. |
Use Scenario: Bridging a modern FPGA's LVCMOS I/O to an older backplane using 5 V TTL signaling standards. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Functions as a level-shifting bus buffer register, capturing FPGA-driven data on CLK and presenting it as robust 5 V TTL outputs. Use Value: Provides ±15 mA drive strength and sub-10 ns propagation delay - meets setup/hold timing for 25–50 MHz backplane transfers without additional line drivers. |
| Test Equipment Data Capture | Embedded System Working Register |
|
Use Scenario: Capturing parallel sensor readings (e.g., 8-bit ADC output) in automated test equipment with precise timestamp alignment. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Serves as a synchronous sampling register; CLK tied to system trigger, OE controlled by sequencer to gate captured data onto shared bus. Use Value: Guarantees simultaneous edge-triggered capture across all 8 bits with <3 ns skew - critical for coherent multi-channel measurement. |
Use Scenario: Storing intermediate computation results in a resource-constrained 8-bit microcontroller design with limited RAM. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Implements a hardware working register; D inputs fed from data bus, Q outputs read back by CPU, OE managed per access cycle. Use Value: Offloads register storage from MCU core, reducing memory fetch latency and freeing RAM for stack or buffers in deeply embedded firmware. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74AS574N | Same logic, same timing, same electrical specs - differs only in PDIP (N) package (20-pin through-hole, 0.3" width). | Used where manual prototyping, socketing, or legacy through-hole assembly is required. | Select SN74AS574N for breadboarding, repair, or mixed-technology boards; SN74AS574DW for surface-mount production. |
| SN74ALS574BDWR | ALS family variant: lower speed (35 MHz max), lower drive (±24 mA IOL but only –2.6 mA IOH), higher propagation delay (up to 22 ns). | Suitable for cost-sensitive, lower-frequency bus buffering where power efficiency matters more than speed. | Choose SN74ALS574BDWR only if system clock ≤35 MHz and drive requirements are asymmetric (strong sink, weak source); otherwise SN74AS574DW is superior. |
Compared with SN74AS574N and SN74ALS574BDWR, SN74AS574DW delivers the highest speed and strongest balanced drive in SOIC packaging - making it optimal for new SMT designs requiring >50 MHz bus operation and full TTL fanout capability.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by SN74AS574DW?
The SN74AS574DW is characterized for operation up to 100 MHz under recommended conditions (VCC = 4.5–5.5 V, TA = 0°C to 70°C, CL = 50 pF). This value is based on characterization data per MIL-STD-883 Class B testing and reflects guaranteed timing margins for reliable edge-triggered capture in high-speed digital systems using the SN74AS574DW.
Does SN74AS574DW include a synchronous clear (CLR) input?
No, SN74AS574DW does not have a CLR input. It is functionally distinct from the SN74AS575 series, which adds synchronous clear. The SN74AS574DW relies on external initialization - either by presetting D inputs before the first CLK edge or by using system-level reset to force known states into the upstream data source feeding the SN74AS574DW.
What is the output drive capability of SN74AS574DW?
The SN74AS574DW provides ±15 mA output drive: –15 mA high-level source current (IOH) and +48 mA low-level sink current (IOL). This asymmetry supports strong grounding of TTL inputs while maintaining compatible voltage levels - a key design feature confirmed in the SN74AS574DW electrical characteristics table under VCC = 4.5 V test conditions.
Is SN74AS574DW pin-compatible with SN74ALS574BDWR?
Yes, SN74AS574DW and SN74ALS574BDWR share identical 20-pin SOIC (DW) package dimensions, pinout, and footprint - including matching CLK, OE, D, Q, VCC, and GND assignments. However, they differ electrically: SN74AS574DW offers higher speed (100 MHz vs. 35 MHz) and stronger drive, so direct substitution requires verification of timing and loading constraints in the target design using SN74AS574DW.
What is the operating temperature range for SN74AS574DW?
SN74AS574DW is rated for commercial/industrial operation from 0°C to 70°C ambient temperature. This is explicitly stated in the "recommended operating conditions" table for SN74AS574 and confirmed in TI's packaging addendum. It is not qualified for extended (–40°C to 85°C) or military (–55°C to 125°C) ranges - those apply only to SN54AS574J or SNJ54AS574J variants.
