8-bit D-type with 5.2 ns propagation delay
The CY74FCT574CTSOC is an 8-bit D-type flip-flop from the 74FCT series, built for positive-edge clocking with tri-state, non-inverted outputs. Its 5.2 ns max propagation delay at 50 pF load sets the data-rate ceiling — the output settles within that window, so the downstream logic sees valid data before the next clock edge at bus speeds up to roughly 190 MHz. The 32 mA source / 64 mA sink output drive handles moderate bus loads — enough to drive a 50 pF trace or a few CMOS inputs without an external buffer.
Housed in a 20-SOIC wide-body package (7.50 mm width), the part is surface-mount and fits the standard SOIC-20 footprint. The tube packaging means it ships in sticks — store the reels dry if you re-reel, but tube storage is fine for bench stock. Input capacitance is 5 pF typical, and quiescent current sits at 200 µA — negligible in a powered system but worth noting for battery-backed rails.
