Product details
Overview
SN74HC574DWRE4 from Texas Instruments is an octal edge-triggered D-type flip-flop with 3-state outputs, designed for bus interface and data latching in digital systems. It operates across 2 V to 6 V, delivers ±6 mA output drive at 5 V, features 22 ns typical propagation delay, and supports clock frequencies up to 24 MHz at 5 V - enabling reliable register buffering in microcontroller I/O expansion and memory-mapped peripheral interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SN74HC574DWRE4 datasheet, SN74HC574DWRE4 pinout, SN74HC574DWRE4 application, or SN74HC574DWRE4 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3-state bus-driving capability, low 80 µA max ICC power consumption, wide supply voltage range, and SOIC-20 package compatibility with industrial-grade temperature operation (–40°C to +85°C).
Technical Context
This device implements eight independent D-type latches triggered on the rising edge of CLK, with synchronous data capture and asynchronous 3-state control via OE. Its logic-level compatible inputs and outputs support direct interfacing with TTL and CMOS families across the full 2–6 V supply range.
The 3-state outputs enable bidirectional bus sharing without external pull-ups or direction control logic; OE assertion places all Q outputs in high-impedance mode while preserving internal latch states, allowing concurrent data retention and bus arbitration in multi-master systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2 V to 6 V - enables interoperability with 3.3 V and 5 V logic domains without level shifters. |
| Propagation Delay (tpd) | 22 ns typical at VCC = 5 V - ensures timing margin for 24 MHz clocked bus transfers in high-speed digital control. |
| Output Drive Strength | ±6 mA at VCC = 5 V - directly drives 15 LSTTL loads or standard PCB traces without buffer amplification. |
| Quiescent Current (ICC) | 80 µA max - supports low-power standby modes in battery-backed or energy-constrained embedded systems. |
| Input Leakage Current | 1 µA max - prevents unintended logic transitions when inputs are tied to VCC/GND in high-impedance configurations. |
| Setup/Hold Times | tsu = 25 ns, th = 5 ns at VCC = 5 V - defines minimum data stability window before/after CLK rising edge for reliable sampling. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial environments including motor control, PLC I/O modules, and factory automation hardware. |
Pinout & Package
SN74HC574DWRE4 uses a 20-pin SOIC (DW) package measuring 12.80 mm × 7.50 mm with standard 0.65 mm lead pitch and gull-wing leads. The pinout follows a bus-structured layout optimized for parallel data routing and minimal trace crosstalk.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (CLK) | Clock input | Rising-edge trigger for simultaneous latching of all eight D inputs into respective Q outputs. |
| 2–9 (D1–D8) | Data inputs | Asynchronous parallel data inputs synchronized to CLK edge; accept 2–6 V logic levels. |
| 10 (GND) | Ground reference | Common return path for all signals and power; must be low-impedance for noise immunity. |
| 11–18 (Q1–Q8) | 3-state outputs | Driven high/low or placed in high-Z by OE; each capable of ±6 mA sink/source at 5 V. |
| 19 (OE) | Output enable | Active-low control: OE = low enables outputs; OE = high forces all Q pins to high-impedance state. |
| 20 (VCC) | Power supply | Primary supply rail (2–6 V); requires local 0.1 µF bypass capacitor adjacent to pin for stable switching. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Octal D-type latching | Eight independent registers share one clock and output-enable line, simplifying address/data bus buffering in microcontroller peripherals. |
| 3-state bus interface | Enables direct connection to shared data buses without external transceivers or direction logic, reducing BOM count and layout complexity. |
| Wide voltage operation | 2–6 V supply range allows seamless integration into mixed-voltage systems (e.g., 3.3 V MCU with 5 V legacy peripherals). |
| Low power consumption | 80 µA max ICC enables use in always-on monitoring circuits where standby current must remain below 100 µA. |
| High noise immunity | Input thresholds scale with VCC (VIH = 0.7×VCC, VIL = 0.3×VCC), ensuring robust operation under varying supply conditions. |
Applications
| Microcontroller I/O Expansion | Memory-Mapped Peripheral Interface |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Expanding GPIO count of an ARM Cortex-M0+ MCU with limited native pins for driving LED arrays and pushbutton inputs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Acts as an output latch and input buffer, synchronizing parallel data between MCU and external devices using shared address/data bus. Use Value: Eliminates need for discrete buffers or CPLDs; 22 ns tpd ensures timing compliance with 24 MHz APB bus clocks. |
Use Scenario: Interfacing an FPGA-based video controller to dual-port SRAM used for frame buffering in industrial HMIs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides registered address/data isolation between FPGA and SRAM, preventing bus contention during read-modify-write cycles. Use Value: 3-state outputs allow dynamic bus release during SRAM access arbitration; ±6 mA drive sustains signal integrity over 10 cm PCB traces. |
| Industrial PLC Digital Input Module | Legacy Bus Signal Conditioning |
|
Use Scenario: Capturing 24 V DC sensor signals (via optocoupler front-end) into a 3.3 V logic domain within a DIN-rail mounted PLC module. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Serves as a synchronized input register, latching opto-isolated signals on system clock edges for deterministic scan-cycle behavior. Use Value: Wide 2–6 V supply accommodates 3.3 V logic rails while tolerating transient coupling; 1 µA input leakage avoids false triggers on floating inputs. |
Use Scenario: Adapting a vintage ISA-bus-compatible data acquisition card to modern PCIe-based host controllers using level-shifting bridge logic. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Buffers and isolates ISA data lines during protocol translation, enabling safe hot-swap insertion without bus lockup. Use Value: Bus-structured pinout minimizes trace skew; high-impedance state during reset prevents back-driving legacy bus drivers during initialization. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74HCT574N | TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2 V min), otherwise identical pinout and function. | Better suited for mixed 5 V TTL/CMOS systems where input noise margins must match legacy TTL logic families. | Select when interfacing with 5 V TTL outputs; SN74HC574DWRE4 remains preferred for pure CMOS or 3.3 V–5 V mixed-supply designs. |
| 74LVC574APW | Lower 1.65–5.5 V supply range, 32 mA output drive, and 3.3 ns tpd at 3.3 V - higher speed but narrower voltage tolerance. | Optimized for high-speed 3.3 V-only systems (e.g., FPGA I/O banks), not suitable for 5 V legacy interfaces. | Choose for new 3.3 V designs requiring faster timing; SN74HC574DWRE4 offers broader voltage flexibility and proven industrial reliability. |
Compared with SN74HCT574N and 74LVC574APW, SN74HC574DWRE4 provides the widest operating voltage range (2–6 V), best balance of speed and power (22 ns / 80 µA), and long-term industrial availability - making it the most versatile choice for legacy-compatible and mixed-voltage embedded bus interfaces.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by SN74HC574DWRE4?
SN74HC574DWRE4 supports a maximum clock frequency of 24 MHz at VCC = 5 V and TA = 25°C, per its switching characteristics table. At 2 V supply, maximum frequency drops to 5 MHz due to reduced drive strength and increased propagation delay. System-level timing must account for setup/hold requirements (tsu = 25 ns, th = 5 ns at 5 V) and board-level signal integrity.
Does SN74HC574DWRE4 require external pull-up resistors on its 3-state outputs?
No, SN74HC574DWRE4 does not require external pull-up resistors on its Q outputs when used in high-impedance mode. Its 3-state outputs are fully tri-stated with near-infinite impedance (IOZ ≤ ±10 µA), eliminating bus loading. Pull-ups are only needed if open-drain emulation or weak default logic state is required - which is not a function of SN74HC574DWRE4 itself.
Can SN74HC574DWRE4 operate reliably at 3.3 V supply voltage?
Yes, SN74HC574DWRE4 is fully specified for operation at 3.3 V: VIH = 2.31 V min, VIL = 0.99 V max, tpd = 38 ns typical, and output drive ≥ ±4 mA. All electrical characteristics in the datasheet include 3.3 V test conditions, confirming compatibility with standard 3.3 V logic systems without level translation.
What is the thermal resistance (RθJA) of the SN74HC574DWRE4 SOIC package?
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance RθJA for SN74HC574DWRE4 in the SOIC (DW) package is 109.1°C/W, as specified in the Thermal Information section. This value assumes standard JEDEC 2S2P board conditions; actual thermal performance improves with PCB copper area, vias, and airflow - critical for sustained operation near 85°C ambient.
How does the output-enable (OE) pin affect internal latch states in SN74HC574DWRE4?
The OE pin in SN74HC574DWRE4 has no effect on internal latch states: data stored in the eight D-type flip-flops remains unchanged regardless of OE logic level. When OE = high, outputs go high-impedance but internal Q values persist, allowing new data to be clocked in or retained during bus contention - a key feature for non-blocking register updates in real-time systems.
