Product Overview: SN74ACT574DBR

The SN74ACT574DBR is a high-performance, octal edge-triggered D-type flip-flop integrated circuit designed and manufactured by Texas Instruments. This device features a robust construction that ensures reliable operation in a wide range of electronic applications. The flip-flop is part of the 'ACT' family, which is known for its advanced high-speed CMOS technology, offering both the high-speed operation of bipolar with the low power consumption of CMOS devices.

The SN74ACT574DBR comes in a DB (SSOP – Shrink Small-Outline Package) type package, making it suitable for space-constrained applications while providing excellent thermal performance. Each flip-flop has a 3-state output, which allows for multiple units to be connected to the same output bus, providing a high degree of flexibility in bus-oriented systems.

Key features of the SN74ACT574DBR include:

• Edge-Triggered D-Type Flip-Flops: The device captures data on the rising edge of the clock signal, ensuring precise timing and synchronization across all eight flip-flops.
• 3-State Outputs: This feature allows for bus aggregation without the need for additional gating hardware, simplifying design and reducing overall component count.
• Wide Operating Voltage Range: The SN74ACT574DBR operates at a voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V, making it compatible with a variety of logic levels and system voltages.
• High Drive Capability: The outputs can drive up to 24mA, providing the ability to drive larger loads or multiple inputs without additional buffering.
• Low Power Consumption: The device features ICC reduced by 50% over the output driving section, which is beneficial for power-sensitive designs.

This product is ideal for a range of applications, including:

• Temporary data storage
• Data transmission and multiplexing
• System resource sharing
• Microprocessor or microcontroller interface

With its robust design and versatile features, the SN74ACT574DBR from Texas Instruments is a reliable choice for designers who require high-speed, low-power flip-flops with multiple output states for their digital systems.
