Product details
Overview
SN74LVTH574NS from NXP Semiconductors is an 8-bit edge-triggered D-type flip-flop with 3-state outputs, designed for 3.3 V operation. It features independent clock (CP) and active-low output enable (OE), TTL-compatible input/output levels, bus-hold inputs, and operates across −40 °C to +85 °C - used in data latching and bus isolation for microprocessor address/data buses.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LVTH574NS datasheet, SN74LVTH574NS pinout, SN74LVTH574NS application, or SN74LVTH574NS equivalent, key selection criteria include 3-state drive capability (±32 mA), propagation delay (≤5.9 ns at 3.0–3.6 V), setup/hold timing (2.4 ns / 0 ns at 2.7 V), bus-hold functionality, and SO20 package compatibility with legacy 74-series layouts.
Technical Context
This device implements eight independent D-type latches triggered on the rising edge of CP, each feeding a high-drive 3-state buffer controlled collectively by OE. The bus-hold circuitry maintains valid logic states on unused D inputs without external pull-ups, enabling robust operation in floating-bus environments.
It supports mixed-voltage interfacing: inputs tolerate up to 5.5 V, outputs drive 3.3 V or 5 V buses with no current loading when tied to 5 V, and features power-up 3-state and latch-up protection per JESD78 Class II (>500 mA). ESD ratings exceed 2000 V HBM and 200 V MM.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.7 V to 3.6 V - ensures stable operation across industrial 3.3 V supply tolerances. |

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OE) | Active-low output enable | Global control for all 8 outputs; LOW enables Qn, HIGH places outputs in high-impedance OFF-state. |
| 2–9 (D0–D7) | Data inputs | Asynchronous inputs sampled on rising CP edge; include bus-hold circuitry to retain state when floating. |
| 10 (GND) | Ground reference | 0 V return path for all internal logic and output drivers; must be low-impedance for noise immunity. |
| 11 (CP) | Clock pulse input | Rising-edge-triggered register control; requires clean transition (≤10 ns/V slew rate) for reliable sampling. |
| 12–19 (Q0–Q7) | Registered 3-state outputs | Outputs reflect Dn state after CP edge when OE = LOW; tri-stated when OE = HIGH to isolate bus segments. |
| 20 (VCC) | Supply voltage | 3.3 V nominal power rail; decoupling capacitor required near pin to suppress switching noise. |

Applications
| Microprocessor Data Bus Interface | Memory Address Latching |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Isolating and latching bidirectional data between a 32-bit microprocessor and peripheral devices sharing a common bus. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Acts as a registered bus transceiver - captures processor data on CP rising edge and presents it to peripherals only when OE is asserted. Use Value: Enables time-multiplexed bus sharing with deterministic timing, eliminating contention and supporting burst-mode transfers. |
Use Scenario: Capturing and holding address signals from a microcontroller driving multiple SRAM or flash memory chips. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Functions as an address latch - freezes address lines during memory access cycles while data is transferred. Use Value: Reduces address bus loading and allows extended memory decode windows, improving timing margin for slower memories. |
| Industrial PLC I/O Expansion | Digital Signal Acquisition Buffer |
Use Scenario: Expanding digital input/output capacity in programmable logic controllers using isolated backplane slots. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Serves as a buffered I/O register - stores control bits from CPU and drives opto-isolated outputs or reads sensor inputs via bus-hold protection. Use Value: Provides noise-immune signal conditioning and eliminates external biasing components on unused I/O lines. |
Use Scenario: Interfacing parallel-output ADCs or sensor arrays to FPGA-based acquisition systems requiring synchronized sampling. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Operates as a synchronous sample-and-hold register - captures parallel sensor data on CP edge and holds stable values for FPGA readout. Use Value: Ensures glitch-free data capture with sub-6 ns propagation delay, preserving integrity of fast analog-to-digital conversions. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal D-type flip-flop applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC574PWR | Lower drive (±24 mA), no bus-hold, 1.65–3.6 V VCC range | Suitable for lower-power, single-supply 3.3 V systems without floating inputs | Choose when bus-hold is unnecessary and tighter supply tolerance is acceptable. |
| 74ALVC574MTCX | Higher speed (tPD ≤ 3.8 ns), same VCC range, no bus-hold | Better for >200 MHz clock domains where timing margin is critical | Select when maximum propagation performance is prioritized over input biasing convenience. |
Compared with SN74LVTH574NS, SN74LVC574PWR reduces drive strength and omits bus-hold but extends low-VCC operation; 74ALVC574MTCX improves speed significantly but sacrifices input biasing - making SN74LVTH574NS optimal for industrial bus interfaces requiring robust floating-input handling and proven 3.3 V compatibility.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by SN74LVTH574NS?
SN74LVTH574NS supports a maximum clock frequency of 150 MHz under recommended operating conditions (VCC = 3.0 V to 3.6 V). This rating is derived from dynamic characterization showing tPLH/tPHL ≤ 5.9 ns at 2.7 V and ≤ 5.4 ns at 3.0–3.6 V, enabling reliable operation in high-speed synchronous bus architectures where SN74LVTH574NS serves as a data latch or pipeline register.
Does SN74LVTH574NS require external pull-up resistors on its D inputs?
No, SN74LVTH574NS does not require external pull-up resistors on D0–D7 inputs due to integrated bus-hold circuitry. This feature maintains valid logic states on floating inputs with ±75 µA to ±150 µA holding current, directly eliminating the need for discrete biasing components and reducing design complexity in sparsely populated bus configurations where SN74LVTH574NS is deployed.
Can SN74LVTH574NS interface with 5 V logic systems?
Yes, SN74LVTH574NS supports mixed-voltage interfacing: its inputs tolerate up to 5.5 V, and its outputs can drive 5 V buses without loading current when tied to 5 V, thanks to TTL-compatible thresholds and open-drain-like behavior in OFF-state. This makes SN74LVTH574NS suitable for bridging 3.3 V microcontrollers to legacy 5 V peripherals without level shifters - a key advantage in retrofit or hybrid-voltage systems.
What is the purpose of the active-low OE pin on SN74LVTH574NS?
The active-low OE (output enable) pin on SN74LVTH574NS provides global 3-state control for all eight Q outputs, independent of the clock. When OE = LOW, registered data appears at Q0–Q7; when OE = HIGH, outputs enter high-impedance OFF-state to electrically isolate the device from the bus - essential for multi-master bus arbitration, hot-swap capability, and preventing contention in shared-data-path applications where SN74LVTH574NS is used as a bus buffer.
Is SN74LVTH574NS qualified for automotive applications?
No, SN74LVTH574NS is not automotive-qualified. Per NXP's legal disclaimers, unless explicitly stated in the datasheet, the device is intended for industrial and commercial use only. It is neither tested nor warranted for AEC-Q100 compliance, temperature extremes beyond −40 °C to +85 °C, or safety-critical functions. For automotive designs requiring SN74LVTH574NS functionality, engineers must select a formally qualified alternative or perform full system-level validation.
