Product details
Overview
SN74LVTH574PWE4 from Texas Instruments is a 3.3-V ABT octal edge-triggered D-type flip-flop with 3-state outputs, designed for mixed-mode signal operation (5-V inputs/outputs with 3.3-V VCC), supporting unregulated battery operation down to 2.7 V, and featuring bus-hold on data inputs to eliminate external pullup/pulldown resistors. It operates across −40°C to 85°C and delivers 150-MHz clock frequency with tsu = 2 ns and tPLH/tPHL ≤ 4.9 ns at VCC = 3.3 V.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LVTH574PWE4 datasheet, SN74LVTH574PWE4 pinout, SN74LVTH574PWE4 application, or SN74LVTH574PWE4 equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, real-world timing and drive specifications, TSSOP-20 package details, hot-insertion support via Ioff and power-up 3-state, and validated alternatives for bus interface design in industrial control and embedded systems.
Technical Context
This device implements eight independent positive-edge-triggered D-type flip-flops with synchronous data capture on CLK↑ and asynchronous 3-state control via OE. Its ABT (Advanced BiCMOS Technology) architecture enables TTL-level input compatibility (VIH = 2 V, VIL = 0.8 V) while operating from a 3.3-V supply, making it suitable for bridging 3.3-V logic domains to legacy 5-V buses.
The integrated bus-hold circuitry maintains valid logic levels on floating data inputs without external components, and Ioff protection prevents backflow current during power-down. Power-up 3-state ensures outputs remain high-impedance until VCC stabilizes, avoiding bus contention in hot-swap applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.7 V to 3.6 V - supports unregulated battery operation and tolerates supply droop in portable/embedded systems. |
| Max Clock Frequency | 150 MHz - enables high-speed data latching in memory interfaces and synchronous bus controllers. |
| tsu / th | 2 ns setup / 0.9 ns hold at VCC = 3.3 V - tight timing margins allow reliable interfacing with fast microcontrollers and FPGAs. |
| IOL / IOH | 64 mA low / −32 mA high output drive - sufficient to drive multiple TTL loads or terminated transmission lines. |
| Bus-Hold Current | ±75 μA at VCC = 3 V - actively holds unused D inputs at valid logic levels, eliminating need for external biasing. |
| Ioff | ±100 μA at VCC = 0 - disables outputs during power-down to prevent damaging back-current in hot-insertion systems. |
| VOHP / VOLP | <0.8 V output ground bounce at VCC = 3.3 V - reduces switching noise in dense PCB layouts with shared ground planes. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-20 (PW) package: 6.5 mm × 4.4 mm, 1.2 mm max height, 0.65 mm pitch, exposed thermal pad (pin 21 not electrically connected), RoHS-compliant NiPdAu lead finish, MSL Level-1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1D–8D | Data inputs | Eight asynchronous D inputs; each latched on CLK↑ rising edge; bus-hold enabled by default. |
| 1Q–8Q | Output terminals | Octal 3-state outputs; driven high/low when OE = L; high-impedance when OE = H. |
| CLK | Clock input | Positive-edge-triggered global clock; synchronizes all eight flip-flops simultaneously. |
| OE | Output enable | Active-low control; does not affect internal latch state - allows data retention during bus isolation. |
| VCC | Power supply | 3.3-V nominal supply; supports down to 2.7 V; must be decoupled locally per TI layout guidelines. |
| GND | Ground reference | Digital ground plane connection; separate from analog ground; ties to exposed thermal pad for thermal performance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Mixed-mode voltage interface | Accepts 5-V TTL inputs and drives 5-V loads while powered from 3.3-V VCC, enabling seamless 3.3/5-V domain bridging. |
| Integrated bus-hold | Eliminates external pullup/pulldown resistors on all eight D inputs, reducing BOM count and PCB area in sparse-bus designs. |
| Hot-insertion support | Ioff and power-up 3-state prevent back-current and bus conflicts during live board insertion into backplanes or modular systems. |
| Low ground bounce | VOLP < 0.8 V at VCC = 3.3 V ensures minimal noise coupling into adjacent signals during simultaneous output switching. |
| Latch-up immunity | Exceeds 500 mA per JESD 17 - robust against transient overvoltage events in industrial environments with noisy power rails. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Expansion | Embedded Microcontroller Bus Interface |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC574APW | Lower drive (24 mA IOL), no bus-hold, 1.65–3.6 V VCC, no Ioff support. | Suitable only for 3.3-V-only systems without hot-swap or floating-input concerns. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs mixed-voltage and robustness requirements. |
| SN74AHCT574PW | 5-V-only VCC (4.5–5.5 V), higher propagation delay (tPLH up to 10.5 ns), no bus-hold or Ioff. | Restricted to legacy 5-V designs; incompatible with 3.3-V supply rails. | Choose only for retrofitting existing 5-V boards where VCC cannot be reduced. |
Compared with SN74LVC574APW and SN74AHCT574PW, the SN74LVTH574PWE4 uniquely combines 3.3-V operation with 5-V I/O tolerance, integrated bus-hold, and Ioff-enabled hot insertion - making it the sole option among these three for mixed-voltage, high-reliability industrial bus interfaces.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the SN74LVTH574PWE4?
The SN74LVTH574PWE4 supports a maximum clock frequency of 150 MHz under recommended operating conditions (VCC = 3.3 V ± 0.3 V, TA = −40°C to 85°C). This rating is confirmed in the timing requirements table of the official datasheet (SCBS688G, p.6), where fclock MIN = 150 MHz is specified for both SN74LVTH574 variants at VCC = 3.3 V.
Does the SN74LVTH574PWE4 support hot-plug operation?
Yes, the SN74LVTH574PWE4 supports hot-plug operation through two key features: Ioff circuitry disables outputs when VCC = 0 V to prevent back-current, and power-up 3-state holds outputs in high-impedance until VCC stabilizes. These capabilities are explicitly documented in the datasheet (p.1) and qualify the SN74LVTH574PWE4 for use in live-insertion backplane and modular system applications.
What is the purpose of the bus-hold feature on the SN74LVTH574PWE4 data inputs?
The bus-hold feature on the SN74LVTH574PWE4 actively maintains valid logic levels (high or low) on unused or floating D inputs without external resistors. With ±75 μA hold current at VCC = 3 V (p.5), it eliminates risk of metastability or EMI-induced glitches - critical in systems with unterminated stubs or intermittent connections, such as automotive body control units or industrial I/O modules.
Can the SN74LVTH574PWE4 interface directly with 5-V logic devices?
Yes, the SN74LVTH574PWE4 supports direct 5-V interface: its inputs tolerate up to 5.5 V (VI absolute max = 7 V), and outputs drive to ≥2 V high and ≤0.55 V low into 64-mA loads at VCC = 3 V (p.5), meeting TTL voltage thresholds. This mixed-mode capability is a core design objective stated in the datasheet introduction (p.1) and enables seamless integration with legacy 5-V peripherals without level shifters.
What package type is used for the SN74LVTH574PWE4?
The SN74LVTH574PWE4 uses the TSSOP-20 (PW) package: 6.5 mm × 4.4 mm body, 1.2 mm max height, 0.65 mm lead pitch, with an exposed thermal pad (pin 21). This is confirmed in the ordering information table (p.1), package outline drawing (PW0020A), and TI's packaging addendum - where SN74LVTH574PW and SN74LVTH574PWR are explicitly assigned to the PW package variant.
