Product details
Overview
74HC109DB,112 from Nexperia is a dual positive-edge-triggered JK flip-flop with asynchronous set (SD) and reset (RD) inputs, complementary Q/Q̅ outputs per section, 2.0–6.0 V supply range, and SO16 (SOT109-1) package. It operates as a synchronous edge-triggered storage element in digital control logic, state machines, and clock-domain synchronization circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 74HC109DB,112 datasheet, 74HC109DB,112 pinout, 74HC109DB,112 application, or 74HC109DB,112 equivalent, this device supports TTL/CMOS interfacing, offers Schmitt-trigger clock input for noise immunity, enables D-type operation via J–K tie, and delivers guaranteed timing across -40 °C to +125 °C.
Technical Context
The 74HC109DB,112 implements two independent JK flip-flops sharing no internal coupling-each with dedicated J, K, CP, SD, RD, Q, and Q̅ terminals. Its asynchronous SD/RD inputs override clocked behavior and assert active-LOW, enabling immediate state forcing regardless of CP edge timing.
Operation requires J/K inputs stable ≥15 ns before the LOW-to-HIGH CP transition at VCC = 4.5 V (tsu = 18 ns typ), and guarantees propagation delays ≤35 ns (tpd) from CP to Q at same conditions. The Schmitt-trigger clock input tolerates slow rise/fall times, while input clamp diodes permit safe interfacing to voltages exceeding VCC when used with current-limiting resistors.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Family | 74HC high-speed CMOS - compatible with both CMOS and TTL input thresholds |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.0 V to 6.0 V - supports battery-powered, industrial, and mixed-voltage logic systems |
| Operating Temperature | -40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for extended industrial and under-hood applications |
| Max Clock Frequency | 81 MHz at VCC = 6.0 V - enables high-speed sequential logic in data path and control units |
| Propagation Delay (CP→Q) | 14 ns (min) to 30 ns (max) at VCC = 6.0 V - ensures predictable setup/hold timing in synchronous designs |
| Input Clamp Diodes | Integrated - allows safe interface to signals > VCC using external current-limiting resistors |
| ESD Protection | HBM >2000 V, CDM >1000 V - enhances robustness during PCB handling and system integration |
Pinout & Package
74HC109DB,112 is housed in a plastic small outline package (SO16, SOT109-1) with 16 leads, 3.9 mm body width, and standard 1.27 mm lead pitch. Pin 1 is marked by a notch or dot; pin numbering follows counter-clockwise convention from top-left corner.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1RD, 15RD | Asynchronous reset (active LOW) | Forces Q = LOW, Q̅ = HIGH immediately-bypasses clock edge requirement |
| 1SD, 11SD | Asynchronous set (active LOW) | Forces Q = HIGH, Q̅ = LOW immediately-overrides all synchronous inputs |
| 1J, 2J (pins 2, 14) | Synchronous data input J | Controls toggle/set behavior on next CP edge per flip-flop section |
| 1K, 2K (pins 3, 13) | Synchronous data input K | Complements J to define toggle/reset behavior; J=K=HIGH → toggle |
| 1CP, 2CP (pins 4, 12) | Clock input (positive-edge-triggered) | Triggers state update only on LOW-to-HIGH transition; Schmitt-trigger improves noise margin |
| 1Q, 2Q (pins 6, 10) | True output | Reflects stored logic state; drives downstream logic or feedback paths |
| 1Q̅, 2Q̅ (pins 7, 9) | Complement output | Provides inverted state for differential signaling or combinational logic |
| VCC (pin 16) | Positive supply | Accepts 2.0–6.0 V; decoupling capacitor required near pin for stable switching |
| GND (pin 8) | Ground reference | Return path for all internal currents; must be low-impedance and tied to system ground plane |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent JK sections | Enables compact implementation of two-bit registers, counters, or state elements without cross-talk |
| J–K tie for D-type mode | Eliminates need for external logic to convert to edge-triggered D flip-flop functionality |
| Asynchronous set/reset | Allows deterministic initialization or emergency state clearing independent of clock domain |
| Wide VCC range (2.0–6.0 V) | Permits direct use in 3.3 V, 5 V, and mixed-supply systems without level-shifting |
| Schmitt-trigger clock input | Accepts slow or noisy clock edges (e.g., RC-generated clocks) without metastability risk |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual JK flip-flop applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74HCT109DB,112 | TTL-compatible inputs (VIH = 2.0 V min); identical pinout and function | Better suited for legacy 5 V TTL systems; higher ICC at VCC = 4.5 V vs. HC variant | Select when interfacing directly to 74LS/74F logic without level shifters |
| SN74HC109DR | Same logic, SOIC-16 package (Nexperia SOT109-1 ≡ TI SOIC-16); identical AC/DC specs | Drop-in replacement with identical thermal and mechanical footprint | Choose for multi-source procurement where TI branding or distribution preference applies |
Compared with 74HC109DB,112, the 74HCT109DB,112 trades wider VCC tolerance for tighter input threshold compatibility, while SN74HC109DR offers identical electrical performance with alternate sourcing-both preserve pin-for-pin layout and timing-critical design integrity.

FAQ
Can 74HC109DB,112 operate reliably at 3.3 V?
Yes. The 74HC109DB,112 is fully specified from 2.0 V to 6.0 V, including 3.3 V operation. At VCC = 3.3 V, VIH = 2.31 V (70% of VCC) and VOL ≤ 0.33 V at IO = 4 mA, ensuring clean interfacing with 3.3 V microcontrollers and FPGAs without level translation.
What is the minimum pulse width required on CP, SD, or RD inputs?
At VCC = 4.5 V, the minimum pulse width (tW) is 18 ns for CP and 16 ns for SD/RD inputs. These values ensure reliable edge detection and state capture; shorter pulses may result in metastability or missed transitions per datasheet Table 7.
Does 74HC109DB,112 support hot insertion or live swapping?
No. The device lacks hot-swap protection circuitry. Applying VCC or signals before GND stabilization risks latch-up due to internal parasitic SCR structures. Always power GND first, then VCC, then apply inputs-per JEDEC JESD78 Class II Level B compliance testing.
How does the Schmitt-trigger clock input improve system robustness?
The Schmitt-trigger input provides hysteresis (~0.4 V at VCC = 4.5 V), rejecting noise spikes < 0.4 V and preventing false clocking from slow-rising signals (e.g., RC-filtered clocks). This eliminates need for external debouncing or sharpening circuits in noisy industrial environments.
