Product details
Overview
SN74LVT574DBR from Texas Instruments is a 3.3-V ABT octal edge-triggered D-type flip-flop with 3-state outputs, designed for bus-interface applications in mixed-voltage systems. It features 8 independent D-flip-flops triggered on the positive clock edge, 3-state output enable (OE), bus-hold inputs, and operation down to 2.7 V - enabling use in 3.3-V logic domains interfacing with 5-V peripherals in industrial control backplanes.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LVT574DBR datasheet, SN74LVT574DBR pinout, SN74LVT574DBR application, or SN74LVT574DBR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 150-MHz max clock frequency, ±64-mA output drive at 3.3 V, bus-hold input retention, low ground bounce (<0.8 V), and compatibility with live insertion in hot-swap systems.
Technical Context
This device implements eight synchronous D-type latches with edge-triggered clocking and independent 3-state output control via OE. Its Advanced BiCMOS Technology (ABT) enables TTL-level input compatibility (5-V tolerant) while operating from a 3.3-V supply, supporting mixed-mode signal environments without level shifters.
The internal bus-hold circuitry actively maintains valid logic states on unused D inputs, eliminating external pullup resistors. OE is asynchronous and does not affect internal latch operation - allowing data capture and storage to continue while outputs are tri-stated, critical for shared-bus arbitration and glitch-free state retention during bus contention.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.7 V to 3.6 V - supports unregulated battery operation and brownout resilience in portable or field-deployed equipment. |
| Max Clock Frequency | 150 MHz - enables high-speed data latching in memory address/data buffers and high-throughput serial-to-parallel interfaces. |
| IOL / IOH | 64 mA / −32 mA at VCC = 3 V - drives heavy capacitive loads (e.g., >50-pF buses) without external buffers in backplane or motherboard designs. |
| tsu / th | 2.4 ns setup / 0.3 ns hold - tight timing margins simplify PCB routing and reduce need for delay tuning in synchronous bus architectures. |
| VOLP (Ground Bounce) | <0.8 V at VCC = 3.3 V - minimizes noise coupling into adjacent signals during simultaneous output switching, improving signal integrity. |
| Bus-Hold Current | ±75 μA at VI = 2 V or 0.8 V - actively clamps floating inputs to valid logic levels, preventing metastability in unterminated stubs or partial-population modules. |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | VI up to 5.5 V - allows direct connection to legacy 5-V CMOS/TTL outputs without external voltage translation. |
Pinout & Package
SN74LVT574DBR is housed in a 20-pin Shrink Small-Outline (DB) package (JEDEC MO-153, 7.5 mm × 4.4 mm), offering 50% board area reduction versus standard SOIC while maintaining identical I/O count and thermal profile.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OE (Output Enable) | Active-low asynchronous control: asserts high-impedance state on all Q outputs when high; no effect on internal latch operation. |
| 2–9 | D1–D8 (Data Inputs) | Asynchronous data inputs with integrated bus-hold - retain last valid logic state when floating, eliminating external pullups. |
| 10 | GND | Power ground reference for all internal logic and output drivers. |
| 11 | VCC | 3.3-V supply input; supports operation down to 2.7 V with full timing compliance. |
| 12–19 | Q1–Q8 (Outputs) | 3-state CMOS outputs; sink 64 mA / source 32 mA; high-impedance state isolates bus lines during contention. |
| 20 | CLK | Positive-edge-triggered clock input; synchronizes all eight D-to-Q transfers simultaneously. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Mixed-voltage interface support | 5-V-tolerant inputs with 3.3-V VCC enable direct connection to legacy 5-V logic without level shifters or resistive dividers. |
| Live insertion capability | Robust ESD protection (>2 kV HBM, >200 V MM) and controlled output turn-on/off allow safe hot-plug operation in modular backplanes. |
| Bus-hold inputs | Eliminates need for 10-kΩ external pullup/pulldown resistors on D inputs, reducing BOM count and PCB real estate in sparse-population slots. |
| Low ground bounce | VOLP < 0.8 V ensures minimal noise injection into shared ground planes during multi-bit output transitions, preserving adjacent analog or RF signal integrity. |
| Wide temperature range | Specified from −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial automation, telecom line cards, and transportation electronics with extended thermal cycling requirements. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal D-type flip-flop with 3-state output applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVTH574DBR | Lower drive strength (IOL = 32 mA), higher VOL (0.55 V), no bus-hold - requires external pullups on unused inputs. | Better suited for low-power, low-noise applications where bus loading is minimal and layout space permits discrete termination. | Select when power budget is tighter and system-level bus-hold is implemented elsewhere; avoid if floating inputs are unavoidable. |
| 74ALVC574PW | Same 20-pin TSSOP (PW) package, but 1.65–3.6-V VCC range and lower max fclock (125 MHz); no bus-hold or 5-V tolerance. | Targeted at ultra-low-voltage portable systems; incompatible with 5-V signal sources without external translation. | Choose only for new 1.8-V/2.5-V designs with strict voltage scaling; not a drop-in replacement for SN74LVT574DBR in mixed-voltage contexts. |
Compared with SN74LVTH574DBR and 74ALVC574PW, SN74LVT574DBR uniquely combines 5-V input tolerance, integrated bus-hold, 150-MHz speed, and 64-mA drive - making it the sole option among the three for robust, translator-free interfacing between 3.3-V controllers and legacy 5-V parallel buses.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the SN74LVT574DBR?
The SN74LVT574DBR supports a maximum clock frequency of 150 MHz across its full operating temperature range (−40°C to +85°C) at VCC = 3.3 V ± 0.3 V. This specification is verified under CL = 50 pF load conditions and reflects guaranteed performance for synchronous data capture in high-speed bus applications. The SN74LVT574DBR maintains this speed even at the minimum VCC of 2.7 V, ensuring reliability in brownout scenarios common in battery-backed systems.
Does the SN74LVT574DBR require external pullup resistors on its data inputs?
No, the SN74LVT574DBR does not require external pullup resistors on its D inputs because it integrates active bus-hold circuitry. This feature maintains valid logic levels (±75 μA hold current) on unused or floating D inputs, preventing metastability and eliminating BOM components. The bus-hold function is inherent to the SN74LVT574DBR silicon design and operates independently of OE or clock state - a key differentiator from standard LV or LVC variants like SN74LVTH574DBR.
Can the SN74LVT574DBR safely interface with 5-V logic signals?
Yes, the SN74LVT574DBR supports 5-V-tolerant inputs: its data (D) and clock (CLK) pins accept input voltages up to 5.5 V while operating from a 3.3-V supply. This capability is explicitly specified in the absolute maximum ratings and recommended operating conditions tables of the official TI datasheet (SCBS139D). The SN74LVT574DBR achieves this without external components, making it ideal for bridging 3.3-V microcontrollers to legacy 5-V peripheral buses - a core design intent confirmed in the device description.
What is the purpose of the OE pin on the SN74LVT574DBR, and how should it be handled during power-up?
The OE (Output Enable) pin on the SN74LVT574DBR is an active-low control that places all eight Q outputs in high-impedance state when asserted high. To ensure outputs remain in high-Z during power-up or power-down - preventing bus contention - TI recommends tying OE to VCC through a pullup resistor. The minimum resistor value depends on the driver's current-sinking capability; typical values range from 4.7 kΩ to 10 kΩ. This behavior is documented in the functional description section of the SN74LVT574DBR datasheet and applies regardless of clock or data state.
Is the SN74LVT574DBR suitable for hot-swap applications?
Yes, the SN74LVT574DBR is explicitly designed for live insertion: it features ESD protection exceeding 2000 V (HBM) and 200 V (machine model), plus controlled output turn-on/off characteristics that prevent bus glitches during card insertion. Its bus-hold inputs retain valid states during disconnection, and the 3-state outputs isolate the bus immediately upon power loss. These attributes are validated per JEDEC JESD17 latch-up testing and cited in the device's key features - confirming the SN74LVT574DBR's suitability for hot-swap I/O modules in industrial and telecom chassis.
