Product details
Overview
N74F399N,602 from Philips Semiconductors is a high-speed quad 2-port register IC with fully positive edge-triggered D-type flip-flops, 120 MHz maximum clock frequency, 22 mA typical supply current, and dual 4-bit data source selection via common S input - used in synchronous data routing and register staging in TTL-compatible digital control systems.
For engineers reviewing the N74F399N,602 datasheet, N74F399N,602 pinout, N74F399N,602 application, or N74F399N,602 equivalent, key selection criteria include setup/hold timing (ts = 3 ns / th = 1 ns for data, ts = 8.5 ns for select), output drive capability (20 mA sink), and commercial-grade operation (0°C to +70°C) in 16-pin plastic DIP packaging.
Technical Context
The N74F399N,602 implements four independent 2:1 multiplexer stages feeding edge-triggered D flip-flops, all synchronized to a single rising-edge clock (CP). Its logic function is defined by a deterministic truth table where S selects between I0n and I1n inputs prior to latching on CP's Low-to-High transition.
It operates under strict DC conditions: VCC = 4.5–5.5 V, VIH ≥ 2.0 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V, and supports fan-out of up to 50 FAST loads on outputs. AC performance is characterized at CL = 50 pF and RL = 500 Ω, with tPLH/tPHL ≤ 9.0 ns and minimum CP pulse width of 4.0 ns.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Max Clock Frequency | 120 MHz typical - enables high-throughput data staging in fast control loops |
| Supply Current (ICC) | 22 mA typical at VCC = 5 V - defines power budget for multi-register logic blocks |
| Output Drive (IOL) | 20 mA sink per Qn - sufficient to directly drive TTL inputs or small LED indicators |
| Setup Time (ts) | 3.0 ns for data, 8.5 ns for S input - constrains minimum data path delay before CP edge |
| Propagation Delay | ≤ 9.0 ns (CP to Qn) - determines critical path latency in pipelined register chains |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to +70°C - validated for commercial-grade industrial control and instrumentation |
| VCC Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - compatible with standard 5 V ±10% TTL power rails |
Pinout & Package
Package: 16-pin plastic DIP (SOT38-4), 300 mil width, through-hole mount.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 3, 4, 6, 11, 12, 13, 14 | Data inputs I0a–I0d, I1a–I1d | Two parallel 4-bit data sources; stable ≥3 ns before CP for reliable capture |
| 2 | CP (Clock) | Rising-edge trigger; initiates synchronous transfer of selected 4-bit word to outputs |
| 7, 9, 10, 15 | Qa–Qd (True outputs) | Registered 4-bit output bus; each drives up to 50 FAST loads or 20 mA sink |
| 8 | GND | Ground reference for all logic and power terminals |
| 16 | VCC | +5 V supply rail; bypass capacitor required near pin for noise immunity |
| 5 | S (Select) | Common control for all four 2:1 muxes; must be stable ≥8.5 ns before CP edge |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Quad 2-port architecture | Enables simultaneous selection and latching of two independent 4-bit words without inter-stage skew |
| Fully edge-triggered operation | Eliminates metastability risk from asynchronous data changes during clock transition window |
| FAST-family compatibility | Meets 1.0/1.0 unit load input specs and 50/33 FAST load output fan-out for mixed-logic interfacing |
| Commercial temperature range | Validated operation from 0°C to +70°C ensures reliability in non-automotive embedded systems |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad 2-port register applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74F399N | Same logic function, identical pinout, TI-manufactured; fMAX = 100 MHz (min), ICC = 24 mA typical | Lower guaranteed max frequency and higher supply current; suitable where 100 MHz margin suffices | Select when sourcing from TI-distributed channels or requiring TI-specific qualification documentation |
| 74ACT399PC | Advanced CMOS version; VCC = 4.5–5.5 V, fMAX = 110 MHz, IOL = 24 mA, lower ICC = 4 µA static | Higher noise immunity (VIH = 3.5 V), but requires stricter input voltage thresholds and lacks FAST-family load compatibility | Select for low-power, noise-sensitive environments where TTL-level interfacing is not required |
Compared with SN74F399N and 74ACT399PC, the N74F399N,602 delivers the highest guaranteed speed (120 MHz typ) and native FAST-load compatibility, making it optimal for legacy TTL system upgrades where timing margin and interface fidelity are critical.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the N74F399N,602?
The N74F399N,602 is a quad 2-port register that selects one of two 4-bit data sources using a common S input and latches the selected word synchronously on the rising edge of CP. It combines four 2:1 multiplexers with edge-triggered D flip-flops in a single 16-pin DIP package, enabling deterministic data routing in high-speed digital control logic.
Does the N74F399N,602 support mixed-voltage interfacing?
No - the N74F399N,602 is designed exclusively for 5 V ±10% operation (VCC = 4.5–5.5 V) and TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.0 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V). It does not support 3.3 V or other voltage domains, and its outputs are not 5 V tolerant when driven by lower-voltage sources.
What are the critical timing constraints for reliable operation of the N74F399N,602?
For reliable operation, the N74F399N,602 requires I0n/I1n data to be stable ≥3.0 ns before CP's rising edge (ts), held ≥1.0 ns after (th), and S input to be stable ≥8.5 ns before CP with zero hold time. Violating these violates the AC setup requirements and risks metastable or incorrect output states.
Can the N74F399N,602 drive standard TTL loads directly?
Yes - the N74F399N,602 outputs deliver 20 mA sink current (IOL) and –1 mA source current (IOH), meeting standard TTL fan-out requirements. Each Qn output supports up to 50 FAST unit loads (defined as 0.6 mA low / 20 µA high), enabling direct connection to multiple 74LS or 74F inputs without buffering.
Is the N74F399N,602 pin-compatible with other 74F399 variants?
Yes - the N74F399N,602 shares identical pinout and logic function with all 74F399 variants in 16-pin DIP (e.g., SN74F399N), including matching terminal assignments for I0a–I0d, I1a–I1d, S, CP, Qa–Qd, VCC, and GND. Mechanical and electrical pin compatibility is confirmed per SOT38-4 package drawing.
