Product details
Overview
SN74HC574PWRG4 from Texas Instruments is an octal edge-triggered D-type flip-flop with 3-state noninverting outputs, designed for bus interface applications. It operates from 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 draws ≤80 µA ICC, making it suitable for I/O port buffering and bidirectional data bus control in industrial microcontroller systems.
For engineers reviewing the SN74HC574PWRG4 datasheet, SN74HC574PWRG4 pinout, SN74HC574PWRG4 application, or SN74HC574PWRG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include its TSSOP-20 package, 3-state bus-hold capability, clock-edge-triggered register behavior, and compatibility with LSTTL load driving (up to 15 units) without external pull-ups.
Technical Context
This device implements eight independent D-type latches synchronized to the rising edge of CLK, with a dedicated active-low output-enable (OE) controlling all eight outputs simultaneously. Its 3-state outputs decouple registered data from the bus when OE is high, enabling time-multiplexed sharing of data lines across multiple peripherals.
The logic family uses silicon-gate CMOS technology, ensuring low static power consumption and high noise immunity. Input thresholds scale with VCC (VIH = 0.7×VCC, VIL = 0.3×VCC), and all inputs tolerate slow transitions per TI's SCBA004 guidance-unused inputs must be tied to VCC or GND to prevent floating-induced instability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 2 V to 6 V - supports direct interfacing with 3.3 V and 5 V logic domains without level shifters. |
| Output Drive | ±6 mA at 5 V - sufficient to directly drive 15 LSTTL loads, eliminating need for buffer ICs on shared buses. |
| Propagation Delay | 22 ns typical (CLK to Q, VCC = 4.5 V, CL = 50 pF) - enables reliable operation up to 24 MHz clock frequency in synchronous bus systems. |
| Quiescent Current | 80 µA max - ensures minimal standby power in battery-backed or energy-constrained embedded controllers. |
| Input Leakage | 1 µA max - prevents unintended logic state shifts due to leakage accumulation on high-impedance nodes. |
| Setup/Hold Time | 25 ns setup / 5 ns hold (VCC = 4.5 V) - defines minimum data stability window before and after CLK rising edge for reliable capture. |
| Operating Temperature | –40 °C to +85 °C - qualified for industrial-grade deployment in programmable logic controllers and motor drives. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-20 package (PW), 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 | Rising-edge sensitive; triggers simultaneous latching of all eight D inputs into respective Q outputs. |
| 2–9 (D1–D8) | Data inputs | Asynchronous inputs sampled only on CLK↑; no internal synchronization-external timing margins must be met. |
| 10 (GND) | Ground reference | Common return path for all signals and power; requires low-inductance connection to minimize ground bounce. |
| 11–18 (Q1–Q8) | 3-state outputs | Driven high/low when OE is low; enter high-Z when OE is high-enables bus arbitration without contention. |
| 19 (OE) | Output enable | Active-low control; asynchronous assertion/deassertion allows dynamic bus release without affecting internal register state. |
| 20 (VCC) | Power supply | Must be bypassed with 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor placed within 3 mm of pin to suppress switching noise and ensure stable operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bus-structured pinout | Adjacent D and Q pins (e.g., D1/Q1 on pins 2/11) simplify PCB routing for byte-wide data paths and reduce trace length mismatch. |
| High-current 3-state outputs | ±6 mA drive at 5 V enables direct connection to legacy TTL buses without series resistors or external drivers. |
| Low input current | ≤1 µA max eliminates loading concerns on upstream logic gates or microcontroller GPIOs driving D or CLK. |
| Wide voltage operation | 2–6 V range permits use in mixed-voltage systems (e.g., 3.3 V MCU core with 5 V peripheral bus) without translation circuitry. |
| Edge-triggered register behavior | Rising-edge sampling provides deterministic timing alignment for synchronous data capture in control and communication interfaces. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Expansion | Microcontroller Parallel Bus Interface |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Adding 8-bit parallel digital input/output capability to a PLC main controller via backplane or ribbon cable. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Acts as an output latch and input buffer-holds actuator states during scan cycle and captures sensor data on clock edge. Use Value: Enables deterministic, jitter-free I/O update synchronized to PLC scan clock; 3-state outputs prevent bus contention during configuration or fault recovery. |
Use Scenario: Interfacing an 8-bit microcontroller (e.g., PIC18F or STM32 GPIO bank) to external memory or peripheral chips using multiplexed address/data bus. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Serves as data bus transceiver-latches outgoing data during write cycles and presents incoming data during read cycles under OE control. Use Value: Eliminates need for discrete bus buffers; ±6 mA drive ensures signal integrity across 10+ cm traces at 24 MHz bus rates. |
| Legacy System Bus Isolation | Test Equipment Digital Pattern Generator |
Use Scenario: Isolating a modern FPGA-based subsystem from an aging 5 V TTL bus while preserving timing compatibility. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Functions as voltage-tolerant bus register-accepts 5 V inputs, latches on FPGA clock, and drives 5 V outputs only when enabled. Use Value: Bridges voltage domains without level shifters; 2 V–6 V supply range allows direct 5 V operation while maintaining CMOS noise margins. |
Use Scenario: Generating repeatable 8-bit digital stimulus patterns for DUT testing in automated test equipment (ATE). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Stores pattern words from controller RAM and outputs them synchronously on each CLK pulse under precise OE gating. Use Value: Provides glitch-free pattern edges with <22 ns tpd; 3-state outputs allow seamless switching between pattern sources without bus contention. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74HCT574PWR | TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2 V min), otherwise identical pinout, timing, and drive strength. | Better suited for mixed 5 V TTL/CMOS systems where input noise margin must match legacy TTL levels. | Select when interfacing directly with 5 V TTL outputs; retains same PCB layout and firmware timing. |
| 74LCX574MTCX | Lower VCC range (2.0–3.6 V), higher speed (tPD = 5.5 ns @ 3.3 V), but reduced drive (±24 mA) and no 5 V tolerance. | Optimized for 3.3 V-only portable or low-power systems; incompatible with 5 V buses or mixed-supply designs. | Choose only for new 3.3 V designs requiring sub-10 ns latency; requires redesign for voltage and layout. |
Compared with SN74HCT574PWR, SN74HC574PWRG4 offers superior noise immunity in pure CMOS environments but lacks TTL input compatibility; versus 74LCX574MTCX, it trades speed for universal 2–6 V operation and robust 5 V bus driving-making it the preferred choice for industrial retrofit and mixed-voltage applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by SN74HC574PWRG4?
The SN74HC574PWRG4 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. Real-world operation depends on board layout, load capacitance, and temperature-designers should verify timing margins using the 25 ns setup/5 ns hold window and measured tpd values.
Does SN74HC574PWRG4 require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on its inputs?
No. SN74HC574PWRG4 has CMOS inputs with negligible leakage (≤1 µA), so unused inputs must be tied to VCC or GND-not left floating-to prevent oscillation or excessive current draw. Pull-up/down resistors are unnecessary unless required by system-level noise immunity requirements beyond the device's inherent 40% VCC noise margin.
Can SN74HC574PWRG4 drive a 5 V bus while powered from 3.3 V?
No. SN74HC574PWRG4 is not 5 V-tolerant on inputs or outputs when VCC = 3.3 V. Its absolute maximum VCC is 6 V, but output high voltage (VOH) scales with VCC-driving a true 5 V bus requires VCC = 5 V. For mixed-voltage interfacing, use SN74HCT574PWR (TTL-input compatible) or add discrete level-shifting circuitry.
What is the thermal resistance (RθJA) of SN74HC574PWRG4 in its TSSOP-20 package?
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance RθJA for SN74HC574PWRG4 (TSSOP-20, PW package) is 131.8 °C/W, per TI's SCLS148H datasheet revision H. This value assumes standard JEDEC 2-layer board conditions; actual thermal performance improves significantly with copper pour and thermal vias under the exposed pad (if present) or adjacent ground planes.
How does the output-enable (OE) function interact with internal register state in SN74HC574PWRG4?
In SN74HC574PWRG4, OE is purely output-oriented and asynchronous-it has no effect on internal flip-flop operation. Data continues to be latched on every CLK↑ regardless of OE state. When OE is high, outputs go high-impedance; when OE is low, the last-latched Q values appear on outputs. This allows seamless bus arbitration without disrupting ongoing register updates.
