Product details
Overview
SN54107J from Texas Instruments is a dual J-K flip-flop with individual clear inputs, implemented in bipolar TTL logic, rated for military temperature range (–55°C to +125°C), packaged in a 14-pin ceramic dual in-line package (CDIP), and designed for synchronous digital control in aerospace and defense timing circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SN54107J datasheet, SN54107J pinout, SN54107J application, or SN54107J equivalent, key selection considerations include its negative-edge-triggered clocking, independent asynchronous clear per section, guaranteed propagation delay ≤40 ns at VCC = 5 V, and compatibility with legacy 5-V TTL logic families in high-reliability systems.
Technical Context
The SN54107J contains two independent J-K flip-flops, each with complementary Q and Q̅ outputs, active-low asynchronous clear (CLR̅), and a common negative-edge-triggered clock input. It operates exclusively from a single +5-V supply and requires no external biasing or pull-up resistors.
Its logic behavior follows standard J-K truth table operation: when J=K=1, it toggles on each falling clock edge; when CLR̅=0, Q is forced low regardless of clock or J/K states. No preset function is provided - only clear is supported.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Family | TTL (bipolar, not LS) - compatible with original 7400-series drive/load levels and noise margins. |
| Supply Voltage | VCC = 4.5 V to 5.5 V - fixed 5-V operation; no wide-VCC support or voltage scaling. |
| Propagation Delay | tPLH / tPHL ≤ 40 ns max at VCC = 5 V, CL = 15 pF - defines maximum clock-to-output timing in synchronous state machines. |
| Operating Temperature | –55°C to +125°C - qualified per MIL-PRF-38535 for extended environmental robustness. |
| Input Thresholds | VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VIH ≥ 2.0 V - ensures reliable interfacing with standard TTL outputs and switches. |
| Output Drive | IOL = 16 mA, IOH = –0.4 mA - supports direct fan-out to 10 standard TTL inputs without buffers. |
Pinout & Package
SN54107J is housed in a hermetically sealed 14-pin ceramic dual in-line package (CDIP), designated drawing J, with 0.3-inch body width and 5.08 mm max height per MIL-STD-1835 GDIP1-T14. Pin 1 is marked by an optional index dot or cap notch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | CLR̅A (Active-Low Clear A) | Asynchronous reset for Flip-Flop A; forces QA = 0 independently of clock or J/K. |
| 2 | JA | Data input controlling QA set behavior on next clock edge (J=1, K=0 → set). |
| 3 | KA | Data input controlling QA reset behavior on next clock edge (J=0, K=1 → reset). |
| 4 | CLKA (Negative-Edge Trigger) | Sampling occurs on falling edge; no internal synchronization or metastability hardening. |
| 5 | QA | True output of Flip-Flop A; complements Q̅A (Pin 6). |
| 6 | Q̅A | Inverted output of Flip-Flop A; electrically complementary to QA (Pin 5). |
| 7 | GND | Power return reference for all internal circuitry and I/O. |
| 8 | VCC | +5-V supply input; decoupling capacitor required near Pin 8 for noise immunity. |
| 9 | Q̅B | Inverted output of Flip-Flop B; electrically complementary to QB (Pin 10). |
| 10 | QB | True output of Flip-Flop B; complements Q̅B (Pin 9). |
| 11 | CLKB (Negative-Edge Trigger) | Independent falling-edge clock for Flip-Flop B; no skew tolerance specified. |
| 12 | KB | Data input controlling QB reset behavior on next clock edge. |
| 13 | JB | Data input controlling QB set behavior on next clock edge. |
| 14 | CLR̅B (Active-Low Clear B) | Asynchronous reset for Flip-Flop B; forces QB = 0 independently of clock or J/K. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent J-K sections | Enables compact implementation of two-bit synchronous counters or shift registers without inter-stage buffering. |
| Individual active-low asynchronous clear | Allows selective reset of one flip-flop while preserving state in the other - critical for partial-state recovery in control sequencers. |
| Negative-edge clock triggering | Supports precise timing alignment with falling-edge clock domains and avoids race conditions in cascaded configurations. |
| MIL-qualified temperature range | Validated operation from –55°C to +125°C enables use in unheated avionics bays and engine-mounted controllers. |
| Hermetic CDIP packaging | Ceramic/glass-sealed construction prevents moisture ingress and ensures long-term reliability in high-humidity or vacuum environments. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN54LS107A | Lower power (19 mW vs. 120 mW), faster speed (tPD = 25 ns), but reduced drive (IOL = 8 mA) and narrower noise margin. | Preferred in battery-powered or high-density boards where thermal budget and propagation delay dominate over drive strength. | Select SN54LS107A only if load capacitance is ≤15 pF and system-level noise immunity has been verified. |
| SNJ54107J | Identical electrical specs and CDIP-J package; differs only in screening level (SMD 5962-87549 vs. 5962-87548) and lot traceability documentation. | Required for DoD contracts mandating full DSCC traceability and 100% burn-in testing. | Choose SNJ54107J when compliance with MIL-PRF-38535 Class V or QML-38535 requirements is contractually enforced. |
Compared with SN54LS107A and SNJ54107J, the SN54107J offers higher output drive and broader noise margins at the cost of higher power, while SNJ54107J provides identical functionality with enhanced test documentation - making SN54107J optimal for legacy-compatible, high-noise industrial control where raw drive matters most.

FAQ
What logic family does SN54107J belong to, and how does it differ from LS variants?
SN54107J belongs to the original bipolar TTL logic family (not LS), delivering higher output drive (16 mA sink) and wider noise margins than LS versions. Unlike SN54LS107A, it consumes more power (120 mW typical) and has slower propagation delay (≤40 ns), but maintains full compatibility with legacy 7400-series systems where robustness outweighs speed.
Does SN54107J support preset functionality?
No, SN54107J does not include preset inputs. It provides only active-low asynchronous clear (CLR̅) for each J-K section. To implement preset behavior, external combinational logic must be added to force J=1/K=0 and use the clock edge - SN54107J itself lacks dedicated preset terminals.
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by SN54107J?
SN54107J does not specify a maximum clock frequency in its datasheet. Its usable frequency is limited by propagation delay (≤40 ns) and setup/hold timing; for reliable operation, maximum clock rate should remain below 10 MHz in worst-case temperature and voltage conditions to maintain timing margins.
Is SN54107J RoHS compliant?
SN54107J is not RoHS compliant. As a legacy military-grade CDIP device manufactured with leaded solder and ceramic-glass sealing, it falls under RoHS exemption 7a (high-melting-temperature solder). Its Pb content is intentional and necessary for hermeticity and thermal cycling reliability.
Can SN54107J be used in commercial-temperature applications?
Yes, SN54107J operates reliably from –55°C to +125°C, fully covering commercial (0°C to +70°C) and industrial (–40°C to +85°C) ranges. However, its higher power consumption and cost make SN74LS107AN more economical for non-military applications where extended temperature range is unnecessary.
