Product details
Overview
SN74AS576DW from Texas Instruments is an octal D-type edge-triggered flip-flop with 3-state inverting outputs, designed for direct bus driving in digital systems. It features buffered control inputs, bus-structured pinout, and operates from 0°C to 70°C at 4.5–5.5 V supply. Key confirmed parameters include 125 MHz max clock frequency, 32 mA low-level output drive, and 15 ns setup time before CLK↑.
For engineers reviewing the SN74AS576DW datasheet, SN74AS576DW pinout, SN74AS576DW application, or SN74AS576DW equivalent, this page delivers verified functional identity, timing behavior under load, bus-drive capability, thermal operating range, and validated drop-in alternatives for legacy TTL bus interface designs.
Technical Context
This device implements eight independent D-type latches triggered on the low-to-high clock transition, each with individually controllable 3-state inverting outputs. Internal operation remains unaffected by OE state-data can be latched or retained while outputs are disabled.
It belongs to the AS (Advanced Schottky) logic family, delivering higher speed and lower power than ALS variants: fmax = 125 MHz vs. 30 MHz for SN74ALS576B, with tPLH/tPHL ≤ 8 ns and tPZH/tPHZ ≤ 6 ns under 50 pF load.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Family | AS (Advanced Schottky) - enables 125 MHz operation with reduced propagation delay vs. ALS. |
| Max Clock Frequency | 125 MHz - supports high-speed synchronous data capture in bus register applications. |
| Output Drive (IOL) | 48 mA - sufficient to drive multiple TTL loads or terminated transmission lines directly. |
| Setup Time (tsu) | 2 ns - minimal data hold before CLK↑, easing timing closure in fast bus cycles. |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to 70°C - qualified for commercial-grade industrial and computing environments. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - compatible with standard 5 V TTL/CMOS mixed-signal systems. |
| 3-State Enable Delay (tPHZ) | ≤ 6 ns - ensures rapid bus release for time-critical arbitration or multiplexing. |
Pinout & Package
SN74AS576DW uses a 20-pin SOIC (DW) package, 7.5 mm × 12.8 mm body, 1.27 mm pitch, 2.65 mm max height, RoHS-compliant NIPDAU lead finish, MSL Level-1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OE (Output Enable) | Active-low 3-state control; does not affect internal latch state during disable. |
| 2–9 | 1D–8D | Data inputs for eight D-type flip-flops; sampled on CLK↑. |
| 10 | GND | Ground reference for all logic and output stages. |
| 11–18 | 1Q–8Q | Inverting 3-state outputs; high-impedance when OE = HIGH. |
| 19 | VCC | Positive supply (4.5–5.5 V); powers internal logic and output drivers. |
| 20 | CLK | Clock input; triggers simultaneous data capture across all eight channels on rising edge. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bus-structured pinout | Minimizes PCB trace crossovers and simplifies layout for parallel data paths (D0–D7 adjacent to Q0–Q7). |
| Buffered control inputs | Reduces capacitive loading on OE and CLK nets, improving signal integrity in high-fanout bus systems. |
| 3-state inverting outputs | Enables bidirectional bus sharing without external inverters; supports wired-OR and contention-free arbitration. |
| Independent output enable | Allows data retention or new sampling while outputs remain tri-stated-critical for glitch-free bus handoff. |
| AS-family speed-power balance | Delivers 125 MHz operation with ICC ≤ 135 mA (outputs low), outperforming ALS while maintaining TTL compatibility. |
Applications
| Backplane Data Register | Industrial I/O Port Buffer |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Latching parallel sensor data from 8-channel ADCs into a shared backplane bus for CPU readout. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Octal D-flip-flop synchronizing asynchronous analog conversion results to system clock domain; 3-state outputs isolate bus during CPU access.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal D-type bus register applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ALS576BDW | ALS family: 30 MHz max clock, 24 mA IOL, 14 ns tPLH, higher power supply current (ICC ≤ 24 mA). | Lower speed and drive; suitable only where timing budget allows ≥14 ns propagation or <30 MHz operation. | Select when legacy ALS compatibility or lower power consumption (vs. AS) is prioritized over speed. |
| SN74AS576N | Identical electrical specs and logic function; differs only in 20-pin PDIP (N) through-hole package instead of SOIC (DW). | Requires through-hole PCB assembly; not suitable for surface-mount-only production or space-constrained layouts. | Choose for prototyping, repair, or legacy through-hole systems where SOIC footprint is unavailable. |
Compared with SN74ALS576BDW, SN74AS576DW delivers 4× higher clock rate and 2× stronger output drive-critical for modern bus extensions-while SN74AS576N offers identical performance in a through-hole form factor for design continuity or manual assembly.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by SN74AS576DW?
The SN74AS576DW supports a maximum clock frequency of 125 MHz under recommended operating conditions (VCC = 4.5–5.5 V, CL = 50 pF, TA = 0°C to 70°C). This value is characterized but not production-tested per MIL-STD-883 Class B requirements, and represents the highest guaranteed toggle rate for reliable data capture across all eight channels in the SN74AS576DW.
Does SN74AS576DW have a synchronous clear (CLR) input?
No, the SN74AS576DW does not include a synchronous clear input. That function is present only in the SN74ALS577A variant. The SN74AS576DW implements eight independent D-type flip-flops with clocked data capture and 3-state output control via OE, but no dedicated reset line-system-level reset must be handled externally or via OE gating.
What is the output polarity of SN74AS576DW?
The SN74AS576DW provides inverting 3-state outputs: when enabled (OE = LOW), Qn = NOT(Dn); when disabled (OE = HIGH), all outputs enter high-impedance state regardless of internal latch value. This inversion is inherent to the device architecture and documented in the function table and logic diagrams of the SN74AS576DW datasheet.
Can SN74AS576DW operate at 3.3 V supply voltage?
No, the SN74AS576DW is specified only for 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply operation. Its input thresholds (VIH = 2 V, VIL = 0.8 V) and output voltage levels (VOH ≥ 2.4 V at IOH = −12 mA) are designed for 5 V TTL compatibility. Operation below 4.5 V is outside recommended conditions and may result in unreliable switching or increased propagation delay in the SN74AS576DW.
Is SN74AS576DW pin-compatible with SN74ALS576BDW?
Yes, SN74AS576DW and SN74ALS576BDW share identical 20-pin SOIC (DW) packages and fully compatible pinouts-including OE, CLK, D0–D7, Q0–Q7, VCC, and GND assignments. However, due to differing AC characteristics and drive strength, timing validation is required when substituting SN74AS576DW for SN74ALS576BDW in existing designs.
