Product details
Overview
SN74BCT574DW from Texas Instruments is an octal transparent D-type flip-flop with 3-state outputs, designed for bus interface and data latching in TTL-compatible systems. It operates at 4.5 V to 5.5 V, supports 77 MHz clock frequency, delivers ±64 mA output drive, and features BiCMOS architecture for low ICCZ (4.9–8 mA) and high noise immunity.
For engineers reviewing the SN74BCT574DW datasheet, SN74BCT574DW pinout, SN74BCT574DW application, or SN74BCT574DW equivalent, this device serves as a high-drive, 3-state buffer register for bidirectional bus driving, I/O port expansion, and working register implementation in industrial control and legacy computing systems.
Technical Context
The SN74BCT574DW implements eight edge-triggered D-type flip-flops synchronized on the rising edge of CLK, capturing parallel D-input data and presenting it at Q-outputs. Its 3-state outputs are controlled independently by an active-low OE input that does not affect internal latch operation.
This BiCMOS device combines bipolar input stages for TTL-level compatibility and CMOS output drivers for high current sourcing/sinking (±64 mA), enabling direct connection to capacitive buses without external pull-ups. Thermal resistance is 58°C/W (DW package), supporting stable operation across 0°C to 70°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - Ensures compatibility with standard 5 V TTL and mixed-voltage logic systems. |
| Max Clock Frequency | 77 MHz - Supports high-speed data capture in real-time control and communication interfaces. |
| Output Drive | ±64 mA - Drives heavy capacitive loads (e.g., >50 pF buses) without external buffers or termination. |
| Propagation Delay (tPLH/tPHL) | 2.2 ns to 10 ns - Enables tight timing margins in synchronous bus architectures with minimal skew. |
| 3-State Enable/Disable Time | tPZH = 1 ns, tPZL = 1.3 ns - Allows rapid bus arbitration and multi-master contention resolution. |
| Input Clamp Protection | −18 mA - Prevents damage from transient overvoltage or floating inputs during power sequencing. |
| ICCZ Quiescent Current | 4.9–8 mA - Reduces standby power in powered-but-idle bus-hold configurations. |
Pinout & Package
SN74BCT574DW uses a 20-pin SOIC (DW) package with 7.5 mm width, 12.83 mm length, and 2.65 mm max height, compliant with JEDEC MS-013 and RoHS (NIPDAU finish, MSL Level-1).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 | Data Inputs (1D–8D) | Parallel asynchronous inputs latched on CLK↑; TTL-compatible thresholds (VIH = 2 V, VIL = 0.8 V). |
| 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 | 3-State Outputs (1Q–8Q) | BiCMOS totem-pole outputs; high-impedance when OE = high, capable of ±64 mA drive. |
| 9 | Output Enable (OE) | Active-low control; places all Q-outputs in high-Z without affecting internal latch state or CLK/D operation. |
| 10 | GND | Signal reference ground; decoupling required near pin for noise-sensitive bus switching. |
| 20 | VCC | Positive supply (4.5–5.5 V); requires local 0.1 µF ceramic bypass capacitor. |
| 12 | CLK | Single-edge clock input; triggers simultaneous latching of all eight D inputs on rising transition. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| BiCMOS Process Technology | Combines TTL input compatibility with CMOS output drive strength, reducing ICCZ by >50% vs. pure bipolar equivalents. |
| Full Parallel Load Architecture | Enables simultaneous capture of 8-bit data on one clock edge-ideal for address/data bus registration. |
| Independent 3-State Control | OE pin disables outputs without disrupting internal latch state, allowing data retention during bus release. |
| ESD Robustness | 2000-V HBM, 200-V MM, 1000-V CDM protection ensures reliability in handling and board assembly environments. |
| Bus-Friendly Output Stage | High-current sinking (64 mA) and sourcing (15 mA) eliminate need for external bus drivers or pull-up resistors. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Backplane Interface | Legacy Computer I/O Expansion |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ACT574DW | CMOS process; lower ICC (1.5 µA typ), higher VIH (3.5 V min), 50 MHz max speed | Better for low-power, 3.3 V–5 V mixed-signal systems; unsuitable for legacy 5 V TTL bus loading | Choose if power efficiency and noise margin outweigh raw drive strength and speed. |
| 74LS574N | Bipolar TTL; 35 MHz max clock, ±24 mA drive, higher ICC (45 mA), no BiCMOS ICCZ reduction | Compatible with older LS-based designs but lacks bus-driving capability and ESD robustness | Select only for drop-in replacement in existing LS-only boards where speed and drive are secondary. |
Compared with SN74ACT574DW and 74LS574N, the SN74BCT574DW uniquely balances 77 MHz speed, ±64 mA drive, and BiCMOS quiescent current optimization-making it the preferred choice for high-fanout, noise-immune 5 V bus interfacing where both performance and robustness are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by SN74BCT574DW?
The SN74BCT574DW supports a maximum clock frequency of 77 MHz under recommended operating conditions (VCC = 5 V, TA = 25°C). This value is guaranteed across the full commercial temperature range (0°C to 70°C) and reflects the device's optimized BiCMOS architecture for high-speed data capture in synchronous bus systems.
Does SN74BCT574DW require external pull-up resistors on its outputs?
No, SN74BCT574DW does not require external pull-up resistors on its outputs. Its BiCMOS output stage provides active high- and low-level drive (±64 mA), enabling direct connection to capacitive buses without passive termination-unlike open-collector or older TTL devices.
How does the OE pin behave during power-up or power-down sequences?
To ensure high-impedance outputs during power-up or power-down, the OE pin of SN74BCT574DW must be tied to VCC through a pull-up resistor. The minimum resistor value depends on the current-sinking capability of the driver, as specified in the TI datasheet SCBS074C.
Can SN74BCT574DW operate reliably at 4.5 V supply voltage?
Yes, SN74BCT574DW is fully specified to operate at 4.5 V supply voltage. Its recommended operating range is 4.5 V to 5.5 V, and all key parameters-including propagation delay, output drive, and setup/hold times-are guaranteed across this range per the SCBS074C datasheet.
What package type and dimensions does SN74BCT574DW use?
SN74BCT574DW uses a 20-pin SOIC (DW) package measuring 12.83 mm × 7.5 mm × 2.65 mm max height, with 1.27 mm lead pitch and NIPDAU lead finish. It complies with JEDEC MS-013 and carries MSL Level-1 rating for unlimited floor life at ≤30°C/60% RH.
