Product details
Overview
SN74HC574PWRE4 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 from 2 V to 6 V, delivers ±6 mA output drive at 5 V, exhibits typical propagation delay of 22 ns, and consumes ≤80 µA ICC - enabling reliable data latching and bidirectional bus control in I/O port and buffer register applications.
For engineers reviewing the SN74HC574PWRE4 datasheet, SN74HC574PWRE4 pinout, SN74HC574PWRE4 application, or SN74HC574PWRE4 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 20-pin TSSOP package, clock-edge-triggered storage behavior, high-current 3-state output capability, and compatibility with LSTTL bus loading (up to 15 loads).
Technical Context
This device implements eight independent D-type flip-flops, each capturing input data on the low-to-high transition of the CLK signal. Its buffered OE input controls all eight outputs simultaneously, placing them in high-impedance state without affecting internal latch operation - supporting dynamic bus sharing and hot-swap-safe register updates.
The SN74HC574PWRE4 uses silicon-gate CMOS technology, ensuring TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 3.15 V, VIL = 1.35 V at VCC = 4.5 V), low input current (≤1 µA), and robust noise immunity. Its bus-structured pinout minimizes trace crossovers in PCB layout, and thermal resistance (RθJA = 131.8 °C/W) reflects the thermal profile of its 6.50 mm × 4.40 mm TSSOP package.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2 V to 6 V - supports mixed-voltage system interfacing and battery-powered operation down to 2 V. |
| Propagation Delay (tpd) | 22 ns typical at VCC = 4.5 V - enables reliable operation up to 24 MHz clock frequency in synchronous logic designs. |
| Output Drive Strength | ±6 mA at VCC = 5 V - directly drives up to 15 LSTTL loads without external buffers or pull-ups. |
| Quiescent Current (ICC) | 80 µA max - ensures ultra-low static power consumption in always-on or low-power embedded registers. |
| Input Leakage Current | 1 µA max - prevents unintended logic transitions when inputs are tied to fixed rails or left unused. |
| 3-State Enable/Disable Time | ten = 32 ns, tdis = 26 ns typical at VCC = 4.5 V - allows fast bus arbitration and glitch-free output switching during mode changes. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-20 (PW) package: 6.50 mm × 4.40 mm body, 1.2 mm max height, 0.65 mm lead pitch, RoHS-compliant NiPdAu finish, MSL Level-1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (CLK) | Clock input | Edge-sensitive input triggering all eight flip-flops on rising edge; requires clean, monotonic transitions per timing specs (tw ≥ 20 ns at 4.5 V). |
| 2–9 (D1–D8) | Data inputs | Asynchronous parallel data inputs latched into respective Q outputs on CLK↑; must be stable ≥25 ns before CLK edge (tsu) and held ≥5 ns after (th). |
| 10 (GND) | Ground reference | Common return path for all signals and power; requires low-inductance connection to minimize ground bounce during output switching. |
| 11–18 (Q1–Q8) | 3-state outputs | Registered outputs enabled/disabled by OE; high-impedance state isolates bus lines electrically, eliminating contention during multi-driver arbitration. |
| 19 (OE) | Output enable | Active-low control: OE = low enables outputs; OE = high places all Qx in high-Z - does not affect internal latch state or clock operation. |
| 20 (VCC) | Power supply | Primary supply rail (2–6 V); requires local 0.1 µF ceramic bypass capacitor placed within 2 mm of pin for stable switching performance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bus-structured pinout | Minimizes PCB routing complexity by grouping D inputs (pins 2–9), Q outputs (11–18), and shared control (CLK, OE, VCC, GND) - reducing layer count and crosstalk in dense layouts. |
| High-current 3-state outputs | ±6 mA drive at 5 V eliminates need for external bus transceivers or pull-up resistors in standard TTL/LVTTL environments. |
| Low input current (≤1 µA) | Enables direct connection to microcontroller GPIOs or open-drain drivers without loading concerns, simplifying interface design. |
| Wide voltage operation (2–6 V) | Supports interoperability across 3.3 V, 5 V, and mixed-supply systems without level-shifting circuitry. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Module | Embedded Microcontroller Bus Interface |
|---|---|

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74HCT574PWRE4 | CMOS input thresholds replaced with TTL-compatible VIH/VIL (2 V min/0.8 V max at 5 V); identical pinout, timing, and drive. | Better suited for direct interfacing with legacy 5 V TTL outputs without level translation. | Select when driving from standard TTL or older microcontrollers with marginal CMOS high-level output voltage. |
| 74LCX574MTCX | Lower VCC range (2.0–3.6 V), higher speed (tpd = 6.5 ns typ at 3.3 V), 3.6 V tolerant inputs; different pinout (SOIC-20 vs TSSOP-20). | Optimized for 3.3 V-only systems requiring faster throughput and lower power than HC family. | Choose for new 3.3 V designs prioritizing speed and power efficiency over 5 V compatibility or footprint reuse. |
Compared with SN74HC574PWRE4, SN74HCT574PWRE4 offers guaranteed TTL-input compatibility at 5 V but no voltage flexibility below 4.5 V, while 74LCX574MTCX provides superior speed and 3.3 V efficiency at the cost of 5 V operation and non-drop-in packaging - making SN74HC574PWRE4 the optimal choice for broad-voltage, pin-compatible bus register needs.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by SN74HC574PWRE4?
The SN74HC574PWRE4 supports up to 24 MHz at VCC = 4.5 V and TA = 25 °C, per its recommended operating conditions. At 6 V, maximum frequency rises to 28 MHz under same conditions. Real-world operation depends on load capacitance (CL = 50 pF specified) and board layout - exceeding these limits risks setup/hold violations and metastability.
Does SN74HC574PWRE4 require external pull-up resistors on its 3-state outputs?
No, SN74HC574PWRE4 does not require external pull-up resistors on its Q outputs. Its high-current 3-state outputs (±6 mA at 5 V) can directly drive bus lines or up to 15 LSTTL loads. Pull-ups are only needed if the system bus requires weak-high default states during high-Z periods - a design choice, not a device requirement.
Can SN74HC574PWRE4 operate reliably at 3.3 V supply voltage?
Yes, SN74HC574PWRE4 is fully specified for operation at 3.3 V. Its recommended operating range is 2 V to 6 V, with verified VIH = 2.31 V and VIL = 1.09 V at 3.3 V (interpolated from datasheet tables), ensuring clean logic thresholds and 22 ns typical propagation delay - making it ideal for mixed-voltage 3.3 V/5 V system interfacing.
What is the function of the OE pin on SN74HC574PWRE4?
The OE (output enable) pin on SN74HC574PWRE4 is an active-low control that places all eight Q outputs simultaneously into high-impedance state when asserted high. It does not affect internal flip-flop operation - data continues to be latched on CLK↑ regardless of OE state, enabling seamless bus arbitration and register updates without disrupting stored values.
Is SN74HC574PWRE4 pin-compatible with other packages in the same family?
Yes, SN74HC574PWRE4 shares identical pinout and functionality with all 20-pin variants of the SN74HC574 family (e.g., SOIC DW, SSOP DB, PDIP N). The TSSOP (PW) package maintains the same signal mapping and electrical behavior - allowing direct PCB footprint substitution where mechanical constraints permit, though thermal and soldering profiles differ.
