Product details
Overview
SN74HCT574DBRE4 from Texas Instruments is an octal edge-triggered D-type flip-flop with 3-state noninverting outputs, designed for bus interface and data latching in 5V digital systems. It operates from 4.5V to 5.5V, delivers ±6mA output drive, features 22ns typical propagation delay (tpd), and draws ≤80μA quiescent current - enabling direct TTL-load driving in I/O port and register applications.
For engineers reviewing the SN74HCT574DBRE4 datasheet, SN74HCT574DBRE4 pinout, SN74HCT574DBRE4 application, or SN74HCT574DBRE4 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 20-pin SSOP package, dual independent 3-state enable control (1OE/2OE), positive-edge clock triggering, bus-structured pinout, and compatibility with LSTTL loads without external pull-ups.
Technical Context
This device implements eight independent D-type flip-flops, each capturing input data on the low-to-high transition of CLK. Its dual output-enable inputs (1OE and 2OE) independently control two groups of four outputs, allowing segmented bus access and reducing contention during multi-device sharing.
The 3-state outputs exhibit high-current drive (±6mA at 5V) and low leakage (≤0.5μA IOZ), while input thresholds are TTL-compatible (VIH = 2V min, VIL = 0.8V max). Timing is characterized at CL = 50 pF and CL = 150 pF, with tpd ranging from 25ns to 66ns depending on VCC and load.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5V–5.5V - ensures interoperability with standard 5V TTL and CMOS logic rails. |
| Propagation Delay (tpd) | 25ns (5.5V, CL=50pF) - supports up to 27MHz clock operation in high-speed bus buffering. |
| Output Drive | ±6mA at 5V - directly drives 15 LSTTL loads without external buffers or pull-ups. |
| Quiescent Current (ICC) | ≤80μA - enables low-power operation in battery-backed or standby-aware register designs. |
| Input Compatibility | TTL-voltage compatible (VIH ≥ 2V, VIL ≤ 0.8V) - interfaces seamlessly with legacy 74LS and microcontroller GPIOs. |
| 3-State Leakage (IOZ) | ≤0.5μA - minimizes bus leakage and crosstalk when outputs are disabled. |
| Setup/Hold Time | tsu = 17ns, th = 5ns (5.5V) - defines minimum data stability window before and after CLK edge for reliable capture. |
Pinout & Package
SN74HCT574DBRE4 is packaged in a 20-pin SSOP (DB) with 0.65mm lead pitch, body size 7.2mm × 5.3mm, and 1.2mm max height. The package supports surface-mount assembly with exposed thermal pad (non-electrical) and is RoHS-compliant with NIPDAU lead finish and MSL Level-1 rating.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OE | Input | Active-low enable for outputs Y1–Y4; controls first quad group independently. |
| 1A1–1A4 | Input | Data inputs for first four flip-flops (D1–D4). |
| 2Y1–2Y4 | Output | 3-state noninverting outputs for second quad group (Q5–Q8). |
| 2OE | Input | Active-low enable for outputs Y1–Y4; controls second quad group independently. |
| 2A1–2A4 | Input | Data inputs for second four flip-flops (D5–D8). |
| 1Y1–1Y4 | Output | 3-state noninverting outputs for first quad group (Q1–Q4). |
| GND | Power | Ground reference for all logic and output stages. |
| VCC | Power | Positive supply rail (4.5V–5.5V); decoupling required per TI recommendation (0.1μF ceramic). |
| CLK | Input | Common clock input; triggers all eight flip-flops on rising edge. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bus-structured pinout | Minimizes PCB trace length and crosstalk between data inputs and corresponding outputs (e.g., 1A1 adjacent to 1Y1). |
| Dual independent 3-state enables | Allows interleaved or segmented bus access - e.g., Q1–Q4 active while Q5–Q8 tri-stated - supporting partial-word transfers. |
| High-current 3-state outputs | ±6mA drive capability eliminates need for external bus drivers in most 5V system interconnects. |
| TTL-compatible inputs | Accepts standard 74LS logic levels without level-shifting, simplifying integration with legacy controllers and peripherals. |
| Low power consumption | 80μA max ICC enables use in power-sensitive register files and I/O expanders without thermal derating. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Expansion | Microcontroller Parallel Port Buffering |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74HCT374DBR | Identical pinout and function but with single shared OE (vs. dual OE in SN74HCT574DBRE4); same 20-pin SSOP package. | Lacks independent control of output groups - unsuitable for segmented bus arbitration or partial-word transfers. | Select when simplified enable logic suffices and cost reduction is prioritized over bus segmentation flexibility. |
| 74ACT574MTCX | Higher speed (tpd = 9ns typ), wider VCC range (4.5V–5.5V), but higher ICC (40mA max) and no dual OE; TSSOP-20 package. | Not drop-in due to different timing margins and power delivery requirements; requires layout review for noise and decoupling. | Choose for high-throughput applications where sub-10ns latency outweighs power and control granularity trade-offs. |
Compared with SN74HCT374DBR and 74ACT574MTCX, SN74HCT574DBRE4 uniquely balances low power, dual-group 3-state control, and proven 5V bus compatibility - making it optimal for industrial I/O expansion and mixed-signal interface designs requiring deterministic enable sequencing.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by SN74HCT574DBRE4?
SN74HCT574DBRE4 supports up to 27MHz maximum clock frequency at VCC = 5.5V and CL = 50pF, as specified in the switching characteristics table. At 4.5V and CL = 50pF, fmax drops to 24MHz. These values assume proper PCB layout, decoupling (0.1μF ceramic capacitor near VCC), and termination to minimize ringing and ensure setup/hold compliance. SN74HCT574DBRE4 does not guarantee operation beyond these limits under recommended conditions.
Does SN74HCT574DBRE4 support independent control of its two output groups?
Yes, SN74HCT574DBRE4 provides two independent 3-state enable inputs: 1OE controls outputs Y1–Y4 (Q1–Q4), and 2OE controls outputs Y1–Y4 (Q5–Q8). This allows segmented bus access - for example, holding Q1–Q4 active while tri-stating Q5–Q8 during partial-word transfers. Both enables are active-low and do not affect internal flip-flop operation or data retention.
Can SN74HCT574DBRE4 drive standard LSTTL loads directly?
Yes, SN74HCT574DBRE4 is explicitly rated to drive up to 15 LSTTL loads directly, thanks to its ±6mA output drive capability at 5V. This eliminates the need for external buffer ICs in most 5V system interconnects. The device's TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH ≥ 2V, VIL ≤ 0.8V) further ensure seamless interfacing with legacy LSTTL sources without level translation.
What is the recommended decoupling for SN74HCT574DBRE4?
Texas Instruments recommends a 0.1μF ceramic capacitor placed as close as possible to the VCC pin of SN74HCT574DBRE4 to suppress high-frequency noise and stabilize the supply during output switching. For systems with multiple devices or sensitive analog sections, paralleling a 1μF capacitor is acceptable to improve low-frequency bypassing. Layout best practice mandates shortest possible trace lengths between capacitor pads and VCC/GND pins.
Is SN74HCT574DBRE4 pin-compatible with other 74HCT-series octal latches?
SN74HCT574DBRE4 shares the same 20-pin SSOP (DB) footprint and pin configuration with SN74HCT374DBR, but differs functionally: SN74HCT374DBR has a single OE input instead of dual OE (1OE/2OE). Other variants like SN74HCT273 (no 3-state) or SN74HCT573 (latch, not edge-triggered) are not pin-compatible. Always verify function table and timing before substitution.
