Product details
Overview
SN54ALS874BJT from Texas Instruments is a dual 4-bit D-type edge-triggered flip-flop with 3-state noninverting outputs, designed as a bus driver IC for military-grade applications. It features asynchronous clear (CLR), true logic outputs, bus-structured pinout, and operates across −55°C to 125°C. Used in buffer registers and bidirectional bus interfaces in avionics and ruggedized control systems.
For engineers reviewing the SN54ALS874BJT datasheet, SN54ALS874BJT pinout, SN54ALS874BJT application, or SN54ALS874BJT equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, military-temperature timing behavior, 3-state bus driving capability, and direct package-level compatibility with ceramic DIP (JT) sockets.
Technical Context
This device implements two independent 4-bit D-type flip-flop sections, each with separate clock (CLK), clear (CLR), and output-enable (OE) controls. Data is latched on the low-to-high transition of CLK, and outputs enter high-impedance state when OE is high.
The SN54ALS874BJT uses ALS (Advanced Low-Power Schottky) logic technology, delivering 25 MHz maximum clock frequency, 12 mA low-level output drive, and 24 mA peak sink current at VCC = 5.5 V - optimized for noise-immune, high-drive bus interfacing in harsh environments.

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ALS874BDW | Same ALS logic, identical function and timing, but SOIC-24 plastic package (0°C to 70°C) | Commercial temperature range only; not qualified for military/aerospace deployment | Select for cost-sensitive industrial control where extended temperature is not required |
| SNJ54ALS874BJT | Identical military-spec CDIP (JT) package and electrical characteristics; same 8401001LA marking | No functional difference - SNJ prefix denotes TI's military screening and traceability level | Preferred for programs requiring QML-38535 Class V or Class Q certification documentation |
Compared with SN54ALS874BJT, SN74ALS874BDW trades military temperature range and hermetic packaging for lower cost and surface-mount compatibility, while SNJ54ALS874BJT offers identical performance with enhanced process control documentation for defense prime integrators.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the SN54ALS874BJT?
The SN54ALS874BJT supports a maximum clock frequency of 25 MHz over its full operating temperature range of −55°C to 125°C. This value is validated per the recommended operating conditions and switching characteristics table in the SDAS061C datasheet, measured with CL = 50 pF and R1/R2 = 500 Ω. The SN54ALS874BJT achieves this speed using Advanced Low-Power Schottky (ALS) technology while maintaining military-grade reliability.
Does the SN54ALS874BJT have inverting or noninverting outputs?
The SN54ALS874BJT has noninverting (true) Q outputs. This is explicitly confirmed in the device description: "SN54ALS874B, SN74ALS874B, and SN74AS874 have clear (CLR) inputs and noninverting Q outputs." The SN54ALS874BJT is part of the true-output variant group, distinct from the inverting-output SN74ALS876A series.
What package type is used for the SN54ALS874BJT?
The SN54ALS874BJT uses a ceramic dual-in-line package (CDIP) designated JT - a 24-pin, 0.3-inch wide, hermetically sealable package compliant with MIL-STD-1835 and JEDEC MO-058. Mechanical drawings confirm pin spacing of 0.100 inch, body dimensions of 1.440 × 0.285 inches, and index mark on the ceramic cap for orientation.
Can the SN54ALS874BJT be used in place of the SN74ALS874B in commercial designs?
The SN54ALS874BJT is functionally identical to the SN74ALS874B but rated for −55°C to 125°C versus 0°C to 70°C. Electrically, both share the same pinout, timing, and logic behavior. However, substituting SN54ALS874BJT into a commercial design requires verifying mechanical compatibility (JT vs. DW/NT packages) and assessing whether military-grade cost and screening add value for the application.
What is the purpose of the OE (output enable) pins on the SN54ALS874BJT?
The OE (output enable) pins - 1OE and 2OE - control the 3-state output drivers of each 4-bit section. When OE is low, outputs are active and follow registered Q values; when OE is high, outputs enter high-impedance (Z) state. This enables bus sharing, prevents contention, and supports bidirectional data flow - a core requirement in systems like I/O port expansion and buffer register applications using the SN54ALS874BJT.
