What this 8-bit flip-flop is and where it fits
The CD74ACT574M is an octal D-type flip-flop from the 74ACT series. It clocks eight bits on a positive edge and presents them through tri-state, non-inverted outputs.
Package and footprint — 20-SOIC wide-body
The 20-SOIC package (7.50 mm body width) is the wide-body variant. Surface-mount only, no through-hole option in this order code.
Lifecycle and compliance — active, ROHS3, no LTB risk
ROHS3 compliant with no lead or restricted substances exemptions to track. For a BOM line that needs a 5V octal flip-flop with military temperature range, this part is a clean, long-availability choice.
