Product details
Overview
CD74HC109MT from Texas Instruments is a dual positive-edge-triggered J-K flip-flop with independent asynchronous set (active-low) and reset (active-low) inputs, operating across 2V–6V supply range, delivering 54MHz maximum clock frequency at 5V/15pF load, and rated for -55°C to +125°C industrial/military temperature range - used in synchronous logic control, state machines, and clock-domain synchronization circuits.
For engineers reviewing the CD74HC109MT datasheet, CD74HC109MT pinout, CD74HC109MT application, or CD74HC109MT equivalent, this page delivers verified functional identity, SOIC-16 package mapping, propagation delay (14ns typical at 5V/15pF), Schmitt-trigger clock input behavior, and direct substitution guidance against functionally aligned HC-series dual J-K flip-flops.
Technical Context
The CD74HC109MT implements two independent edge-triggered J-K flip-flops sharing no internal coupling; each features separate J, K, clock (CP), set (S), and reset (R) terminals with active-low asynchronous control. Its Schmitt-trigger clock inputs provide noise immunity and defined switching thresholds across voltage rails.
It operates in standard high-speed CMOS (HC) logic family with rail-to-rail output swing, 10 LSTTL fanout capability over full temperature range, and balanced tPLH/tPHL propagation delays (14ns typical CP→Q at 5V/15pF). No internal power-down mode or tri-state outputs are present.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Family | High-speed CMOS (HC), not TTL-compatible - requires 2V–6V VCC, supports mixed-voltage interface design |
| Max Clock Frequency | 54 MHz at VCC = 5V, CL = 15pF - enables use in medium-speed digital control loops and data sampling |
| Propagation Delay (CP→Q) | 14 ns typical at 5V/15pF - ensures predictable timing margins in synchronous state machines |
| Input Hysteresis | Schmitt-trigger clock inputs with ~0.4V hysteresis at 5V - rejects sub-10ns noise spikes on clock lines |
| Operating Temperature | -55°C to +125°C - qualified for aerospace, automotive under-hood, and industrial motor control environments |
| Supply Current (ICC) | ≤80 µA max at -55°C to +125°C - enables low-quiescent-power operation in battery-backed logic |
| Input Leakage | ±1 µA max over full temperature range - preserves signal integrity in high-impedance bus applications |
Pinout & Package
CD74HC109MT is housed in a 16-pin SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) package, 3.9mm body width, 1.27mm pitch, RoHS-compliant matte tin lead finish, MSL Level-1 (unlimited floor life), compatible with standard reflow profiles.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1R (Flip-Flop 1 Reset) | Active-low asynchronous reset - forces Q1 = H, Q1̅ = H regardless of clock or J/K state |
| 2 | 1J (Flip-Flop 1 J Input) | Data input controlling next-state Q1 on rising clock edge when R=H, S=H |
| 3 | 1K (Flip-Flop 1 K Input) | Complementary data input enabling toggle, set, reset, or hold per J-K truth table |
| 4 | 1CP (Flip-Flop 1 Clock) | Positive-edge-triggered clock with Schmitt-trigger input - immune to slow-rising/noisy edges |
| 5 | 1S (Flip-Flop 1 Set) | Active-low asynchronous set - forces Q1 = H, Q1̅ = L regardless of clock or J/K state |
| 6 | 1Q (Flip-Flop 1 True Output) | Non-inverted registered output - drives downstream logic or feedback paths |
| 7 | GND | Ground reference for all I/O and internal circuitry - must be low-impedance connection |
| 8 | 1Q̅ (Flip-Flop 1 Complement Output) | Inverted registered output - provides complementary state for differential signaling or feedback |
| 9 | 2Q̅ (Flip-Flop 2 Complement Output) | Inverted output of second flip-flop - electrically isolated from first section |
| 10 | 2Q (Flip-Flop 2 True Output) | Non-inverted output of second flip-flop - usable as independent register or toggle divider |
| 11 | 2S (Flip-Flop 2 Set) | Active-low asynchronous set for second flip-flop - independent of first section |
| 12 | 2CP (Flip-Flop 2 Clock) | Second independent Schmitt-trigger clock input - supports dual-clock domain interfacing |
| 13 | 2K (Flip-Flop 2 K Input) | K input for second flip-flop - enables full J-K functionality per channel |
| 14 | 2J (Flip-Flop 2 J Input) | J input for second flip-flop - fully decoupled from first flip-flop's data path |
| 15 | 2R (Flip-Flop 2 Reset) | Active-low asynchronous reset for second flip-flop - no cross-talk with first section |
| 16 | VCC | Positive supply rail - must be bypassed locally with 0.1µF ceramic capacitor to GND |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual J-K flip-flop applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74HC109DR | Same HC logic family, identical pinout and truth table; lower max fMAX (46MHz @ 5V/15pF) and wider propagation delay spread (16–24ns) | Acceptable for ≤25MHz control logic but unsuitable for 54MHz timing-critical paths | Select SN74HC109DR only when cost sensitivity outweighs speed requirement and TI's CD74HC109MT long-term availability is constrained |
| MC74HC109ADTR2G | Pin-compatible HC variant from ON Semiconductor; identical electrical specs except for slightly higher ICC (100µA max) and reduced noise margin (25% of VCC) | Valid for commercial-temperature (-40°C to +85°C) designs but not qualified for extended military range | Choose MC74HC109ADTR2G only for cost-driven consumer applications where -55°C operation is unnecessary |
Compared with SN74HC109DR and MC74HC109ADTR2G, CD74HC109MT offers superior high-temperature stability, tighter propagation delay consistency, and guaranteed 54MHz operation - making it the preferred choice for aerospace, defense, and industrial systems requiring full -55°C to +125°C performance validation.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by CD74HC109MT?
The CD74HC109MT supports a maximum clock frequency of 54 MHz when operated at VCC = 5V with a 15pF load and ambient temperature of 25°C. At -55°C to +125°C extremes, the guaranteed minimum fMAX is 23 MHz (at VCC = 6V) per TI datasheet SCHS140E Section 5. This makes CD74HC109MT suitable for high-reliability timing applications where consistent edge-triggered behavior is required across wide thermal conditions.
Does CD74HC109MT support asynchronous set and reset simultaneously?
Yes, CD74HC109MT supports simultaneous assertion of active-low set (S) and reset (R) inputs, forcing both Q and Q̅ outputs high. However, releasing both S and R simultaneously results in an undefined, unstable output condition - TI explicitly warns against this transition in the truth table note. For deterministic behavior, CD74HC109MT requires staggered deassertion of S and R, or use of clocked J/K transitions for controlled state changes.
Is CD74HC109MT pin-compatible with CD74HCT109MT?
No, CD74HC109MT is not pin-compatible with CD74HCT109MT in functional interchange - although both share identical SOIC-16 pinout and terminal labeling, their input threshold specifications differ fundamentally: CD74HC109MT accepts 2V–6V supplies with CMOS-compatible VIH/VIL, while CD74HCT109MT requires 4.5V–5.5V and is optimized for TTL-level input compatibility. Swapping them risks logic misreads or excessive input current if driven by 3.3V sources.
What is the purpose of Schmitt-trigger inputs on CD74HC109MT clock pins?
The Schmitt-trigger inputs on CD74HC109MT clock pins provide hysteresis (~0.4V at 5V), ensuring clean, noise-immune clock edge detection even with slow-rising or electrically noisy waveforms. This eliminates external RC filtering components and prevents multiple clock triggering from ringing or EMI-induced glitches - a key reliability feature for CD74HC109MT in industrial and automotive environments where signal integrity cannot be assumed.
Can CD74HC109MT operate reliably at 2.0V supply voltage?
Yes, CD74HC109MT is fully specified to operate at VCC = 2.0V across its full -55°C to +125°C temperature range, with guaranteed VIH ≥1.5V, VIL ≤0.5V, and fMAX ≥4MHz (per datasheet Section 5). At 2V, propagation delays increase (e.g., CP→Q up to 265ns), but logic functionality remains intact - enabling CD74HC109MT use in ultra-low-power battery-operated systems where 3.3V or 5V rails are unavailable.
