Product details
Overview
SN74F534AN from Texas Instruments is an 8-bit inverting D-type flip-flop with 3-state outputs, edge-triggered on the positive clock transition, operating at 0°C to 70°C, with 70 MHz max clock frequency and 24 mA low-level output drive-used for bidirectional bus driving and I/O port buffering in TTL-based digital systems.
For engineers reviewing the SN74F534AN datasheet, SN74F534AN pinout, SN74F534AN application, or SN74F534AN equivalent, key selection criteria include its inverted Q outputs, buffered OE control, high-impedance bus isolation, and compatibility with standard 5-V TTL logic families and PCB layouts using 20-pin PDIP packages.
Technical Context
The SN74F534AN implements eight independent edge-triggered D-type flip-flops with complemented (inverted) Q outputs, synchronized to the rising edge of CLK. Its output enable (OE) is buffered and does not affect internal state retention-allowing data latching while outputs remain tri-stated.
It operates strictly within 4.5 V–5.5 V VCC, meets TTL input thresholds (VIH ≥ 2 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V), and delivers VOH ≥ 2.4 V at IOH = −3 mA and VOL ≤ 0.35 V at IOL = 24 mA-ensuring robust noise margin and load-driving capability in legacy bus architectures.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Family | F-series TTL - compatible with standard 5-V TTL input/output levels and timing budgets |
| Function | 8-bit inverting D-type flip-flop with 3-state outputs - stores and inverts input data on CLK↑, enables bus sharing via OE |
| Max Clock Frequency | 70 MHz at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V, TA = 0°C to 70°C - supports high-speed synchronous data latching in backplane and control bus applications |
| Output Drive | 24 mA sink / 3 mA source - sufficient to drive 50-pF loads and multiple TTL inputs without external buffers |
| Propagation Delay | tPLH/tPHL ≤ 7.5 ns (CLK to Q), tPZL/tPHZ ≤ 8.5 ns (OE to Q) - ensures tight timing alignment in pipelined register stages |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to 70°C - qualified for commercial-grade embedded and industrial control equipment |
| Package | 20-pin plastic DIP (N package) - through-hole mount compatible with legacy prototyping, repair, and MIL-STD-202 test fixtures |
Pinout & Package
SN74F534AN is supplied in a 20-pin plastic dual in-line package (PDIP), designated "N" by Texas Instruments, with 0.3-inch body width and standard through-hole pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OE (Active-Low Output Enable) | Buffered control input; when low, enables normal Q/Q̅ outputs; when high, forces all Q outputs into high-impedance state |
| 2–9, 11–18 | D1–D8, Q1–Q8 | Data inputs and inverted outputs (Q1 = NOT D1, etc.); arranged for byte-wide parallel connection to data buses |
| 10 | GND | Ground reference for logic and power return path |
| 20 | VCC | +5 V supply rail - must be decoupled locally to suppress switching noise from 8 concurrent output transitions |
| 19 | CLK | Common clock input - rising-edge sensitive; all 8 flip-flops latch D-inputs simultaneously on CLK↑ |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Inverting 3-State Outputs | Q outputs reflect logical complement of D inputs, and enter high-Z when OE is high-enabling direct connection to shared data buses without external inverters or bus transceivers |
| Buffered OE Input | OE signal is internally buffered to reject noise and ensure clean, simultaneous output disable across all 8 channels-critical for glitch-free bus arbitration |
| Retentive Operation Under OE High | Internal flip-flop states remain unchanged during OE assertion-allowing background data updates or hold-time compliance while bus is released |
| TTL-Compatible Timing Margins | Setup/hold times as low as 2 ns and propagation delays ≤7.5 ns meet stringent requirements of fast 5-V TTL system clocks and synchronous FIFO interfaces |
| Robust Absolute Ratings | Withstands −0.5 V to 7 V VCC and −1.2 V to 7 V input voltage (with current limiting), supporting hot-swap and mixed-voltage interface scenarios |
Applications
| Microprocessor Bus Interface | I/O Port Expansion |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Interfacing an 8-bit microcontroller data bus to peripheral memory or parallel devices with strict timing and direction control. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Acts as a bidirectional, level-translating bus latch-holding address/data during wait states and isolating peripherals when inactive. Use Value: Eliminates need for separate direction-control logic and pull-up resistors; inverted outputs align with common peripheral active-low signaling conventions. |
Use Scenario: Expanding GPIO count on legacy 8-bit controllers (e.g., 8051, Z80) for LED arrays, keypad scanning, or sensor readout. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Functions as an output-hold register with tri-state capability-driving LEDs directly while allowing shared bus access for configuration reads. Use Value: Delivers 24 mA per output to drive LEDs without external drivers; OE-controlled isolation prevents contention during firmware reconfiguration. |
| Backplane Data Latching | Legacy Industrial Control Register |
Use Scenario: Capturing and holding status signals across modular rack-mounted PLC I/O modules connected via parallel backplane. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Serves as a synchronized input capture latch-sampling distributed sensor data on a common clock edge and presenting it coherently to the master controller. Use Value: Simultaneous 8-bit edge-triggered capture ensures deterministic sampling; high-impedance outputs prevent backplane loading during idle cycles. |
Use Scenario: Storing setpoint or configuration values in electromechanical control panels where EEPROM writes are infrequent but volatile RAM is required for runtime updates. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides non-volatile write-once register functionality-data loaded once at power-up and held until next reset or update cycle. Use Value: Inverted outputs simplify integration with discrete transistor-based relay drivers; 70°C rating supports operation inside enclosed industrial enclosures. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 8-bit inverting latch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74F374N | Identical pinout and timing, but non-inverting outputs (Q = D) | Requires external inversion for active-low peripheral interfaces; otherwise drop-in for non-inverted bus roles | Select SN74F374N only when system logic expects true (non-inverted) Q outputs-no change to PCB layout needed |
| SN74LS574N | Lower speed (30 MHz max), higher propagation delay (15 ns), and reduced drive (8 mA sink), but identical 20-pin PDIP footprint | Suitable for cost-sensitive, lower-speed designs where F-series speed and drive are unnecessary | Choose SN74LS574N for legacy LS-TTL systems prioritizing power efficiency over performance; verify timing margins with slower clock edges |
Compared with SN74F374N and SN74LS574N, the SN74F534AN uniquely combines inverted outputs, 70 MHz operation, and 24 mA drive in a standard PDIP-making it optimal for high-integrity, active-low bus systems requiring minimal external components and maximum timing headroom.

FAQ
What is the function of the OE pin on the SN74F534AN?
The OE (output enable) pin on the SN74F534AN is an active-low buffered control input that places all eight Q outputs into either normal logic states (when OE is low) or high-impedance (tri-state) mode (when OE is high). Critically, OE has no effect on internal flip-flop operation-data can be latched or retained regardless of OE state. This allows the SN74F534AN to buffer data while dynamically releasing the bus, making it ideal for shared-data-path architectures.
Does the SN74F534AN have inverted or non-inverted outputs?
The SN74F534AN features inverted outputs: each Q output reflects the logical complement of its corresponding D input (i.e., Q1 = NOT D1). This distinguishes it from the functionally similar SN74F374AN, which provides true (non-inverted) outputs. The inversion is inherent to the device's architecture and is confirmed in the function table, logic diagram, and product description of the SN74F534AN datasheet.
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the SN74F534AN?
The SN74F534AN supports a maximum clock frequency of 70 MHz under recommended operating conditions (VCC = 4.5 V to 5.5 V, TA = 0°C to 70°C). This value is specified in the "Timing Requirements" table of the official datasheet and validated across process, voltage, and temperature corners. It exceeds the 60 MHz rating of the military-grade SN54F534A, reflecting commercial-grade speed binning.
Can the SN74F534AN operate with a 3.3-V supply?
No, the SN74F534AN is not rated for 3.3-V operation. Its absolute maximum VCC is 7 V, but its recommended operating range is strictly 4.5 V to 5.5 V. Electrical characteristics-including VIH, VOL, and propagation delay-are only guaranteed within this 5-V TTL window. Using 3.3 V will result in undefined logic thresholds, marginal noise immunity, and potential failure to meet timing specs. For 3.3-V systems, consider modern alternatives like the SN74LVC574A.
What package type is used for the SN74F534AN?
The SN74F534AN uses a 20-pin plastic dual in-line package (PDIP), designated "N" by Texas Instruments. This through-hole package measures 0.3 inches wide, conforms to JEDEC MS-001 standards, and is fully compatible with manual soldering, socketing, and legacy test fixtures. It is distinct from surface-mount variants like the DW package used for the SN74F534ADW.
