Product details
Overview
SN74HC574PWT 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 industrial I/O interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SN74HC574PWT datasheet, SN74HC574PWT pinout, SN74HC574PWT application, or SN74HC574PWT 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 requirements.
Technical Context
This device implements eight independent D-type flip-flops synchronized on the low-to-high transition of CLK. Each output is controlled by a common buffered OE input, allowing simultaneous high-impedance state entry without affecting internal latch states or data retention.
It supports wide supply voltage (2–6 V), features bus-structured pinout for PCB layout efficiency, and meets standard HC logic thresholds (VIH = 3.15 V @ 4.5 V, VIL = 1.35 V @ 4.5 V), ensuring interoperability with mixed-voltage 3.3 V/5 V digital systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 2 V to 6 V - enables operation across 3.3 V and 5 V logic domains without level shifters |
| Output Drive | ±6 mA @ 5 V - directly drives up to 15 LSTTL loads without external buffers |
| Propagation Delay | 22 ns typical @ 4.5 V - supports >20 MHz clock rates in synchronous bus applications |
| Quiescent Current | 80 µA max - suitable for low-power embedded control and battery-backed registers |
| Input Leakage | 1 µA max - ensures stable logic levels with high-impedance or floating inputs properly terminated |
| 3-State Enable Time | 32 ns max @ 4.5 V - enables fast bus arbitration and multiplexing in real-time systems |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-20 package (PW), 6.50 mm × 4.40 mm body size, 1.2 mm max height, 0.65 mm lead pitch, RoHS-compliant NiPdAu finish, MSL Level-1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1–8, 13–20 | Data Input / Q Output | Paired Dn/Qn terminals (D1–D8 inputs, Q1–Q8 outputs) - bus-aligned for compact routing |
| 9 | GND | Ground reference for all logic and output stages - requires local 0.1 µF bypass |
| 10 | CLK | Clock input - triggers all eight flip-flops on rising edge; edge-sensitive, not level-sensitive |
| 11 | OE | Active-low 3-state enable - asserts high-impedance when high; no effect on internal latch state |
| 12 | VCC | Positive supply - must be decoupled locally; supports 2–6 V operation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bus-structured pinout | Minimizes trace crossovers and simplifies PCB layout for 8-bit data paths |
| High-current 3-state outputs | Eliminates need for external bus transceivers in medium-speed parallel interfaces |
| Low input current (≤1 µA) | Reduces loading on upstream drivers and enables direct connection to microcontroller GPIO |
| Wide VCC range (2–6 V) | Permits single-part deployment across 3.3 V FPGA I/O banks and legacy 5 V backplanes |
| Edge-triggered storage | Ensures deterministic sampling of asynchronous data with precise setup/hold timing |
Applications

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); identical pinout and function | Better suited for mixed 5 V TTL/CMOS systems where input noise immunity is critical | Select when interfacing with legacy 5 V TTL outputs without pull-ups |
| 74LCX574MTCX | Lower VCC range (2–3.6 V), higher speed (tpd = 6.5 ns @ 3.3 V), different pinout | Optimized for 3.3 V-only portable/embedded designs requiring sub-10 ns timing | Choose only if operating strictly at 3.3 V and needing faster propagation than SN74HC574PWT |
Compared with SN74HC574PWT, SN74HCT574PWR offers improved noise margin with TTL input compatibility but same 20-pin TSSOP footprint, while 74LCX574MTCX provides higher speed at lower voltage but requires PCB redesign due to non-identical pin assignment.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by SN74HC574PWT?
The SN74HC574PWT supports up to 24 MHz maximum clock frequency at 4.5 V supply and 25 °C, with guaranteed timing margins per datasheet Table 5.5. At 6 V, fmax reaches 28 MHz under same conditions. These values assume CL = 50 pF load and proper PCB layout with decoupling.
Does SN74HC574PWT require external pull-up resistors on its outputs?
No, SN74HC574PWT does not require external pull-up resistors on its outputs. Its 3-state outputs provide active high/low drive in normal mode and true high-impedance (not weak pull-up) when OE is asserted, eliminating need for passive termination in bus-shared configurations.
Can SN74HC574PWT operate reliably at 3.3 V supply?
Yes, SN74HC574PWT operates reliably at 3.3 V supply. Its recommended operating range (2–6 V) fully covers 3.3 V systems, and electrical characteristics - including VIH = 2.31 V min and VOL = 0.1 V max at 3.3 V - ensure compatibility with standard 3.3 V CMOS logic families.
What is the thermal resistance (RθJA) of SN74HC574PWT in its TSSOP package?
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of SN74HC574PWT in the TSSOP-20 (PW) package is 131.8 °C/W, as specified in TI's SCLS148H datasheet Revision H. This value assumes JEDEC-standard PCB mounting with two-layer copper and no thermal vias.
Is SN74HC574PWT pin-compatible with SN74HC374?
No, SN74HC574PWT is not pin-compatible with SN74HC374. While both are octal D-type flip-flops with 3-state outputs, SN74HC374 uses a different pinout: its OE is active-high and located on Pin 1, whereas SN74HC574PWT has active-low OE on Pin 11. PCB layout and firmware control logic must be redesigned for substitution.
