Product details
Overview
SN74HC574PW from Texas Instruments is an octal edge-triggered D-type flip-flop with 3-state outputs, designed for bus driving in digital systems. It operates across 2 V to 6 V, delivers ±6 mA output drive at 5 V, exhibits typical propagation delay of 22 ns (VCC = 4.5 V, CL = 50 pF), and supports clock frequencies up to 24 MHz at 5 V. It is used in I/O port buffering and bidirectional data bus control.
For engineers reviewing the SN74HC574PW datasheet, SN74HC574PW pinout, SN74HC574PW application, or SN74HC574PW equivalent, key selection criteria include its TSSOP-20 package, 3-state bus-compatible output architecture, wide supply voltage range, low 80-µA max ICC, and precise setup/hold timing requirements for synchronous data capture.
Technical Context
The SN74HC574PW implements eight independent D-type flip-flops, each triggered on the low-to-high transition of CLK. Its buffered OE input controls all eight outputs simultaneously, placing them in high-impedance state without affecting internal register operation - enabling seamless bus sharing and hot-swappable data routing.
It uses standard CMOS silicon process with TTL-compatible input thresholds and rail-to-rail output swing. The device features bus-structured pinout (D0–D7 inputs adjacent to Q0–Q7 outputs), low input current (≤1 µA), and thermal metrics including RθJA = 131.8 °C/W for the TSSOP package - critical for thermal-aware PCB layout in space-constrained applications.
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. |
| Max Output Drive | ±6 mA at 5 V - sufficient to directly drive 15 LSTTL loads or terminate unterminated transmission lines. |
| Propagation Delay (tpd) | 22 ns typical (VCC = 4.5 V, CL = 50 pF) - defines maximum achievable data throughput in synchronous bus interfaces. |
| Setup/Hold Time | tsu = 25 ns, th = 5 ns (VCC = 4.5 V) - constrains minimum clock period and dictates timing margin for reliable latch operation. |
| Quiescent Current (ICC) | 80 µA max - ensures minimal static power draw in battery-backed or low-power standby modes. |
| Input Capacitance (Ci) | 10 pF max - limits capacitive loading on upstream drivers and preserves signal integrity in high-speed traces. |
| Operating Temperature | –40 °C to +85 °C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded systems including motor control and instrumentation. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-20 package (6.50 mm × 4.40 mm, 1.2 mm max height), JEDEC MO-153 compliant, lead-free NiPdAu finish, MSL Level-1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (CLK) | Clock input | Edge-sensitive trigger: registers D0–D7 on rising edge; synchronizes data transfer to system clock domain. |
| 2–9 (D0–D7) | Data inputs | Parallel 8-bit data path; accepts asynchronous input prior to clock edge; must be stable during tsu/th window. |
| 10 (GND) | Ground reference | Common return for all signals and power; requires low-inductance connection to minimize ground bounce. |
| 11–18 (Q0–Q7) | 3-state outputs | Driven high/low when OE = L; high-impedance when OE = H - enables shared-bus arbitration without external tri-state logic. |
| 19 (OE) | Output enable | Active-low control: asserts 3-state mode independently of clock; allows output gating without disrupting internal register state. |
| 20 (VCC) | Power supply | Primary supply rail; requires local 0.1 µF ceramic bypass capacitor placed within 2 mm of pin for noise suppression. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide supply voltage range | 2 V to 6 V operation supports mixed-voltage system integration and legacy 5 V compatibility. |
| High-current 3-state outputs | ±6 mA drive capability eliminates need for external bus buffers in most microcontroller peripheral interfaces. |
| Low quiescent power | 80 µA max ICC enables use in always-on subsystems where leakage and standby current are constrained. |
| Bus-structured pinout | Adjacent D/Q pairing simplifies PCB routing and reduces trace crosstalk in parallel data paths. |
| CMOS input characteristics | 1 µA max input current and TTL-compatible thresholds ensure robust interfacing with diverse logic families. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal D-type flip-flop applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74HCT574PW | CMOS inputs with TTL thresholds (VIH = 2 V min); identical pinout and timing. | Better noise immunity in noisy 5 V industrial environments; not suitable for 2–3.3 V only systems. | Select when interfacing with legacy TTL or 5 V microcontrollers requiring guaranteed VIH/VIL margins. |
| 74LCX574MTCX | Lower VCC range (2–3.6 V), 3.6 V tolerant inputs, 5.5 ns tpd (typ), smaller TSSOP-20 footprint (5.0 × 4.4 mm). | Optimized for 3.3 V portable/embedded designs; incompatible with 5 V buses without level translation. | Prefer for space-constrained, low-voltage battery-powered devices where speed >24 MHz is required. |
Compared with SN74HC574PW, SN74HCT574PW offers enhanced noise immunity in 5 V systems but lacks 2 V operation, while 74LCX574MTCX delivers higher speed and lower voltage compliance at the cost of 5 V bus compatibility - making SN74HC574PW the optimal general-purpose choice for mixed-voltage industrial control.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by SN74HC574PW?
The SN74HC574PW supports up to 24 MHz at VCC = 4.5 V and TA = 25 °C (CL = 50 pF). At 6 V, fmax reaches 28 MHz under same conditions. Performance degrades at lower supply voltages: 4 MHz at 2 V. These values assume proper load and layout per TI's SCLS148H datasheet Figure 6-1 test conditions.
Does SN74HC574PW support hot insertion or live bus swapping?
SN74HC574PW does not include built-in hot-swap protection. While its 3-state outputs allow safe bus disconnection when OE is asserted, the device lacks current-limiting or undervoltage lockout circuitry. For live insertion, external series resistors and sequencing controls are required to prevent supply rail disturbance or latch-up during plug-in events.
Can SN74HC574PW drive LEDs directly without current-limiting resistors?
No. Although SN74HC574PW provides ±6 mA output drive at 5 V, direct LED connection risks exceeding absolute maximum ratings and causing premature wear. Each output must include a series resistor sized to limit current to ≤6 mA - e.g., 470 Ω for a 2 V red LED at 5 V VCC - to ensure long-term reliability and thermal stability.
What is the function of the OE pin during clock transitions in SN74HC574PW?
The OE pin in SN74HC574PW is asynchronous and does not affect internal flip-flop operation. When OE is high (disabled), outputs go high-impedance regardless of CLK activity; data continues to be latched on rising CLK edges and retained internally. This allows concurrent data capture and bus isolation - critical for glitch-free multi-master bus arbitration.
Is SN74HC574PW RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes. SN74HC574PW is RoHS compliant with NiPdAu lead finish and meets JEDEC MSL Level-1 moisture sensitivity requirements. Per TI's PACKAGE OPTION ADDENDUM, it carries "Yes" in the RoHS column and "NIPDAU" in the lead finish field, confirming full compliance with EU Directive 2011/65/EU and subsequent amendments.
