Product details
Overview
SN54S175J from Texas Instruments is a military-grade quadruple D-type flip-flop with asynchronous clear, fabricated in Schottky TTL technology, operating over –55°C to +125°C, with propagation delay of 4 ns (max) at VCC = 5 V, and designed for high-speed synchronous logic control in avionics timing and radar pulse sequencing.
For engineers reviewing the SN54S175J datasheet, SN54S175J pinout, SN54S175J application, or SN54S175J equivalent, this page delivers verified functional identity, validated CDIP-16 package mapping, confirmed 4-bit edge-triggered storage behavior, and direct substitution guidance against qualified alternatives for aerospace and defense systems.
Technical Context
The SN54S175J implements four independent D-type latches with common clock and master clear inputs, using Schottky-clamped bipolar transistors to achieve higher speed and lower power-delay product than LS variants. It features positive-edge triggering on CLK and active-low asynchronous reset via CLR̅.
All four flip-flops share identical electrical characteristics: guaranteed 4 ns max tPLH/tPHL propagation delay, 10 mA output sink capability, and input thresholds compatible with standard TTL logic families. No internal feedback or preset functionality is included - only D, CLK, CLR̅, Q, and Q̅ signals per stage.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Logic Family | Schottky TTL (S-series), ensuring compatibility with 5 V TTL systems and faster switching than LS/ALS. |
| Function | Quadruple D-type positive-edge-triggered flip-flop with asynchronous active-low clear (CLR̅). |
| Propagation Delay | 4 ns (max) at VCC = 5 V, enabling reliable operation in 100 MHz+ clock domains with margin. |
| Operating Temperature | –55°C to +125°C, qualified for extended-range military and space-grade applications. |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V, supporting stable operation under regulated 5 V rails with ±10% tolerance. |
| Output Drive | 10 mA sink / 0.4 mA source, sufficient to drive 10 standard TTL loads without buffering. |
| Package | 16-pin Ceramic Dual In-line Package (CDIP-J), hermetically sealed for high-reliability environments. |
Pinout & Package
Ceramic Dual In-line Package (CDIP-J) with 16 leads, 0.3-inch body width, hermetic ceramic construction, and gold-plated leads for solderability and long-term reliability in harsh environments.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Q̅A | Inverted output of first flip-flop; complements QA state, usable for differential signaling or feedback inversion. |
| 2 | QA | True output of first D-type flip-flop; holds stored data until next positive clock edge. |
| 3 | D1 | Data input for first flip-flop; sampled on rising edge of CLK and transferred to QA/Q̅A. |
| 4 | Q̅B | Inverted output of second flip-flop; electrically isolated but synchronized to same CLK/CLR̅. |
| 5 | QB | True output of second D-type flip-flop; provides parallel 4-bit storage with deterministic timing. |
| 6 | D2 | Data input for second flip-flop; shares no internal coupling with D1–D4 except clock and clear paths. |
| 7 | GND | Power ground reference; must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise-induced metastability. |
| 8 | CLR̅ | Active-low asynchronous clear; forces all Q outputs low regardless of CLK or D states. |
| 9 | CLK | Common positive-edge-triggered clock input; synchronizes all four flip-flops simultaneously. |
| 10 | D3 | Data input for third flip-flop; supports independent data loading per stage within one package. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quadruple D-type flip-flop applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN54LS175J | Lower speed (15 ns max tPD), reduced power consumption, same pinout and function. | Suitable for cost-sensitive or lower-frequency military systems where 4 ns timing is not required. | Select when power efficiency outweighs speed need; verify timing margins in target clock domain. |
| SNJ54S175J | Identical electrical specs and packaging; differs only in part marking convention and qualification documentation traceability. | No functional difference; used interchangeably in new designs requiring TI's latest military qualification records. | Prefer for new designs requiring current QML-38535 Class V documentation and lot traceability. |
Compared with SN54LS175J, SN54S175J delivers 3.75× faster propagation for time-critical sampling; compared with SNJ54S175J, it offers identical performance but reflects earlier revision-level qualification evidence-both remain fully interoperable in CDIP-16 sockets.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by SN54S175J?
The SN54S175J does not specify a maximum clock frequency in its datasheet, but its 4 ns maximum propagation delay and 3 ns minimum pulse width requirements imply reliable operation up to approximately 100 MHz in well-designed PCB layouts with controlled impedance and proper decoupling. System-level timing analysis must account for setup/hold times and board-level skew when deploying SN54S175J in high-frequency applications.
Is SN54S175J RoHS compliant?
No, SN54S175J is not RoHS compliant. It uses lead-based solder (SNPB finish) and is manufactured in a non-RoHS process, consistent with its military specification (MIL-PRF-38535) and hermetic CDIP-J packaging requirements. This makes SN54S175J suitable for legacy and high-reliability programs where leaded finishes are mandated for solder joint integrity under thermal cycling.
Does SN54S175J include preset functionality?
No, SN54S175J does not include preset (PRE) inputs. It provides only D inputs, a common positive-edge-triggered clock (CLK), and an active-low asynchronous clear (CLR̅) for all four flip-flops. There is no provision for setting outputs high independently of the D inputs or clock - only clearing to low is supported.
Can SN54S175J be used in place of SN74S175N?
SN54S175J can replace SN74S175N in applications requiring extended temperature range (–55°C to +125°C vs. 0°C to +70°C) and hermetic packaging, but not vice versa. Both share identical logic function, pinout, and DC/AC electrical specifications; however, SN54S175J's military qualification, CDIP-J package, and SNPB finish make it unsuitable for commercial reflow processes unless explicitly validated.
What is the purpose of the Q̅ outputs on SN54S175J?
The Q̅ outputs on SN54S175J provide logically inverted versions of each flip-flop's true Q output, eliminating the need for external inverters in applications requiring complementary signals - such as differential bus drivers, set/reset control pairs, or feedback paths in counters and state machines. Each Q̅ output is electrically buffered and specified for the same drive strength as its corresponding Q pin.
