Product details
Overview
SN54HC534J from Texas Instruments is a military-grade octal edge-triggered D-type flip-flop with 3-state inverting outputs, operating across –55°C to 125°C. It features positive-edge clock triggering, independent output-enable control, high-current 3-state outputs capable of driving up to 15 LSTTL loads, and logic-level compatibility with 2-V to 6-V supply rails. It is used in military-grade bus interface buffers and bidirectional data latching systems.
For engineers reviewing the SN54HC534J datasheet, SN54HC534J pinout, SN54HC534J application, or SN54HC534J equivalent, key selection considerations include its inverted-output architecture versus standard 'HC374, military temperature range qualification, 3-state enable timing (ten/tdis), and ceramic DIP (J) package mechanical and thermal characteristics.
Technical Context
The SN54HC534J implements eight independent D-type flip-flops, each triggered on the positive clock edge to latch the complement of the D-input state at Q. Its output-enable (OE) input operates asynchronously and does not affect internal flip-flop operation-data can be latched while outputs remain in high-impedance.
This device uses silicon-gate CMOS technology for low power consumption (ICC ≤ 160 µA at VCC = 6 V) and high noise immunity (VIH ≥ 3.15 V at VCC = 4.5 V). It supports capacitive bus loading up to 150 pF with guaranteed propagation delay (tpd ≤ 46 ns at VCC = 4.5 V, CL = 150 pF) and fast enable/disable transitions (ten/tdis ≤ 40 ns).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Family | High-speed CMOS (HC), compatible with TTL input thresholds and LSTTL load drive |
| Operating Temperature | –55°C to +125°C - qualified for full military environmental stress screening |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2 V to 6 V - enables interoperability across mixed-voltage system domains |
| Max Clock Frequency | 36 MHz at VCC = 6 V - supports high-throughput synchronous data capture |
| Output Drive Strength | ±7.8 mA at VCC = 6 V - sufficient to directly drive 15 LSTTL inputs without buffers |
| 3-State Enable Delay | ten ≤ 40 ns (CL = 150 pF) - ensures rapid bus release for time-critical multiplexing |
| Propagation Delay | tpd ≤ 46 ns (CLK to Q, VCC = 4.5 V, CL = 150 pF) - defines worst-case data path latency |
Pinout & Package
Ceramic Dual-In-Line Package (J), 300-mil width, 20-pin through-hole. Pin 10 is GND; Pin 20 is VCC. Pin 1 is OE (active-low output enable); Pins 2–9 and 11–18 are bidirectional data I/O terminals with inverted output mapping (D1→Q1̅, etc.).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OE) | Active-low 3-state enable | Asynchronous control: drives all Q outputs to high-Z when high; no effect on internal latch state |
| 2–9, 11–18 (D1–D8, Q1–Q8) | Data inputs / inverted complementary outputs | Each pair forms an inverting D-flip-flop: Qn = NOT(Dn) after CLK↑; Q outputs are active-low referenced |
| 16 (CLK) | Positive-edge clock input | Samples all D inputs simultaneously on rising edge; no internal synchronization delay |
| 10 (GND) | Ground reference | Primary return path for all logic and output current; must be low-inductance connection in high-speed layouts |
| 20 (VCC) | Power supply | Supplies core logic and output drivers; requires local 0.1-µF ceramic decoupling adjacent to pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Inverting 3-state outputs | Eliminates need for external inverters in complemented bus architectures; reduces component count in parity or checksum circuits |
| Independent OE control | Enables dynamic bus arbitration without disrupting ongoing latch operations - critical for real-time register file access |
| Military temperature rating | Validated operation over –55°C to +125°C per MIL-PRF-38535 - suitable for avionics, missile guidance, and space-qualified electronics |
| High fanout capability | Drives 15 LSTTL loads directly - avoids signal degradation and timing skew introduced by buffer chains |
| Low quiescent current | ICC ≤ 160 µA at VCC = 6 V - supports low-power standby modes in battery-backed or radiation-hardened systems |
Applications
| Avionics Data Bus Interface | Military Radar Signal Register |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal D-type flip-flop applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN54LS374J | Non-inverting outputs, TTL logic family, higher ICC (40 mA typical), slower max fclock (30 MHz at VCC = 5 V) | Requires external inverters for complemented bus use; less suitable for low-power or mixed-voltage systems | Select when legacy TTL compatibility or direct replacement in LS-based designs is required |
| SNJ54HC374FK | Same HC family, non-inverting outputs, identical pinout and timing, ceramic flatpack (FK) package | Matches SN54HC534J functionally except output polarity; FK offers lower profile but different thermal impedance (θJA = 97°C/W) | Choose for space-constrained military PCBs where inverted outputs are not needed and FK mounting is preferred |
Compared with SN54HC534J, SN54LS374J trades power efficiency and voltage flexibility for TTL legacy support, while SNJ54HC374FK retains HC performance and packaging robustness but lacks output inversion-requiring layout or logic-level adaptation in complemented-data systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the SN54HC534J?
The SN54HC534J supports a maximum clock frequency of 36 MHz at VCC = 6 V and TA = 25°C. At VCC = 4.5 V, the rated maximum is 31 MHz. These values assume proper signal integrity, controlled rise/fall times (≤400 ns at VCC = 6 V), and load capacitance ≤150 pF. The SN54HC534J datasheet specifies these limits under recommended operating conditions and confirms functionality across the full –55°C to +125°C range, though timing margins decrease at temperature extremes.
Does the SN54HC534J have non-inverting or inverting outputs?
The SN54HC534J has inverting outputs: each Q output reflects the logical complement of its corresponding D input after the positive clock edge. This distinguishes it from the functionally similar SN54HC374J, which provides true (non-inverting) outputs. The inversion is inherent to the device's architecture and is documented in the function table and logic diagram of the SN54HC534J datasheet.
What package type is used for the SN54HC534J?
The SN54HC534J uses a 20-pin ceramic dual-in-line package (J), 300-mil width, with through-hole leads. This package is specified for military applications and provides superior thermal stability, hermetic sealing potential, and mechanical robustness compared to plastic variants. Pin 10 is GND and Pin 20 is VCC, consistent with standard DIP orientation.
How does the output-enable (OE) pin function on the SN54HC534J?
The OE pin on the SN54HC534J is an active-low control that places all eight Q outputs into high-impedance state when asserted high. When OE is low, outputs operate normally (driving high or low based on latched D states). Critically, OE has no effect on internal flip-flop operation: data can be clocked in or retained regardless of OE state. This allows seamless bus arbitration without disrupting register contents in the SN54HC534J.
Is the SN54HC534J compatible with 3.3-V logic systems?
Yes, the SN54HC534J operates across 2 V to 6 V, making it fully compatible with 3.3-V logic systems. At VCC = 3.3 V, input thresholds are VIH ≥ 2.31 V and VIL ≤ 1.09 V (interpolated from datasheet specs), ensuring reliable interfacing with standard 3.3-V CMOS outputs. Output VOH/VOL levels also meet 3.3-V interface requirements, and drive strength remains sufficient for typical loads - confirming functional interoperability in mixed-voltage designs using the SN54HC534J.
