Product details
Overview
SN74HCT574PWG4 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 TTL-compatible digital systems. It operates from 4.5V to 5.5V, delivers ±6mA output drive, features 22ns typical propagation delay, and supports bidirectional bus driving in I/O ports and buffer registers.
For engineers reviewing the SN74HCT574PWG4 datasheet, SN74HCT574PWG4 pinout, SN74HCT574PWG4 application, or SN74HCT574PWG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 20-pin TSSOP (PW) package, 3-state bus-hold capability, clock-edge-triggered data capture, and compatibility with LSTTL loads without external pull-ups.
Technical Context
This device implements eight independent D-type flip-flops, each capturing data on the low-to-high transition of CLK while maintaining state retention during OE assertion. Its dual output-enable inputs (1OE and 2OE) control two groups of four outputs independently, enabling flexible bus partitioning and multi-drop timing control.
The logic-level inputs are TTL-voltage compatible (VIH = 2V min, VIL = 0.8V max), and the 3-state outputs exhibit high-impedance behavior when OE is high-eliminating bus contention without requiring external interface components. Output drive strength (±6mA at 5V) and low ICC (80μA max) support direct connection to up to 15 LSTTL loads.
Key Specifications

Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Expansion | Microcontroller Parallel Interface |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Adding 8-bit parallel input/output capability to a Cortex-M4-based controller with limited GPIO resources. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Acts as a synchronized input latch and output driver, isolating MCU pins from noisy field-side signals via 3-state control. Use Value: Eliminates need for discrete level shifters or bus buffers; ±6mA drive handles industrial sensor/actuator loads directly. |
Use Scenario: Connecting an 8-bit LCD module with separate read/write strobes to an 8051 derivative MCU. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides edge-triggered data capture on WR# pulse and high-Z tri-state during RD# cycles to prevent bus contention. Use Value: Enables clean bidirectional data transfer using single 8-bit data bus-no additional direction-control logic needed. |
| Legacy Bus Interface Adapter | Memory-Mapped Register Bank |
Use Scenario: Bridging a modern ARM SoC's APB bus to legacy ISA-style 8-bit peripheral cards requiring TTL-level handshaking. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Serves as a level-translating, timing-synchronized interface register with OE-controlled bus isolation. Use Value: Matches 5V TTL timing budgets (22ns tpd) and drive strength-avoids signal integrity issues on long backplane traces. |
Use Scenario: Implementing a set of configuration registers in a motor control ASIC where values must be held stable between CPU writes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Functions as a working register bank; CLK captures new settings, OE disables outputs during reconfiguration. Use Value: Retains prior state during OE assertion-ensures glitch-free updates without disrupting downstream logic. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74HCT374PW | Identical function and pinout; differs only in output-enable polarity (active-high vs. active-low). | Requires inverted OE control logic; unsuitable where existing firmware assumes active-low OE. | Select if system-level OE signal is active-high and board layout permits no-change integration. |
| 74ACT574MTCX | Higher speed (tpd ≈ 9ns), wider VCC range (4.5–5.5V), but higher ICC (2mA typ) and less robust noise immunity. | Better for high-frequency bus arbitration; less suitable for low-power or electrically noisy industrial environments. | Choose when >30MHz operation is required and power budget allows 25× higher quiescent current. |
Compared with SN74HCT574PWG4, SN74HCT374PW offers identical timing and drive but demands OE signal inversion, while 74ACT574MTCX trades significant power efficiency for speed-making SN74HCT574PWG4 optimal for cost-sensitive, noise-resilient 5V bus interfaces.

FAQ
What is the operating voltage range for SN74HCT574PWG4?
The SN74HCT574PWG4 operates from 4.5V to 5.5V. This range ensures compatibility with standard 5V power rails while accommodating typical tolerance and ripple. Operation outside this range may cause unreliable switching or damage, per absolute maximum ratings (–0.5V to 7V). The recommended 4.5–5.5V window guarantees full specification compliance including timing, drive strength, and logic thresholds.
Does SN74HCT574PWG4 support true bidirectional data flow?
SN74HCT574PWG4 does not support true bidirectional data flow on individual pins-it is an octal D-type flip-flop with unidirectional data paths (D→Q) and separate 3-state outputs. However, it enables bidirectional bus operation when paired with complementary devices (e.g., SN74HCT245) or used in master/slave configurations where OE controls directionality via system-level protocol. Its dual OE inputs facilitate time-multiplexed read/write cycles on shared data lines.
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by SN74HCT574PWG4?
SN74HCT574PWG4 supports up to 24MHz maximum clock frequency at VCC = 5.5V and TA = 25°C with CL = 50pF. At 4.5V, fmax drops to 20MHz. These values assume proper load conditions and layout; real-world performance depends on PCB trace capacitance and termination. For CL = 150pF, fmax reduces further-to 22MHz (5.5V) and 20MHz (4.5V)-due to increased switching load.
How does the 3-state output functionality work on SN74HCT574PWG4?
SN74HCT574PWG4 uses two active-low output-enable inputs (1OE and 2OE) to place its eight Q outputs into high-impedance (high-Z) state. When either OE is high, the corresponding four outputs disconnect electrically from the bus-neither sourcing nor sinking current. This prevents bus contention during data transfers or idle periods. OE has no effect on internal flip-flop operation: data continues to be latched on CLK edges regardless of OE state.
Is SN74HCT574PWG4 RoHS compliant and what is its moisture sensitivity level?
Yes, SN74HCT574PWG4 is RoHS compliant (lead-free, halogen-free) and rated MSL Level-1 at 260°C peak reflow per JEDEC J-STD-020. This means it can be stored indefinitely at ambient conditions without baking prior to assembly. The TSSOP-20 (PW) package uses NiPdAu lead finish and is supplied in tape-and-reel format (2000 units/reel), with part marking "HT574" visible on the top surface.
