Product details
Overview
SN55454BJG from Texas Instruments is a military-grade dual-peripheral NOR driver IC designed for high-current, high-speed switching in TTL-compatible systems. It delivers 300mA output current per channel, supports up to 30V off-state output voltage, operates across –55°C to 125°C, and features open-collector outputs with diode-clamped TTL inputs - used in ruggedized lamp, LED, and line driving applications.
For engineers reviewing the SN55454BJG datasheet, SN55454BJG pinout, SN55454BJG application, or SN55454BJG equivalent, this page provides verified military-temperature specifications, CDIP-8 package details, NOR logic function confirmation, latch-up immunity at 20V/300mA, and direct alternatives for legacy peripheral interface designs.
Technical Context
The SN55454BJG implements dual independent NOR gates whose outputs drive NPN transistor stages with internal base resistors (1.6kΩ, 4kΩ), enabling direct high-current sinking without external biasing. Each channel operates as an active-low open-collector driver: output Y goes low only when both inputs A and B are low (per positive-logic NOR truth table).
It is characterized for full military temperature operation (–55°C to 125°C), uses standard 5V TTL supply (4.5–5.5V), and maintains latch-up immunity under 20V/300mA stress - a key differentiator from commercial SN7545xB variants limited to 0°C–70°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Function | NOR gate per channel - drives load only when both inputs are low; enables wired-OR bus interfacing and active-low control. |
| Output Current | 300 mA continuous per channel - sufficient to directly drive lamps, relays, or LEDs without external buffers. |
| Off-State Voltage | 30 V maximum - allows safe interfacing with 24V industrial loads and legacy telecommunication lines. |
| Operating Temp | –55°C to 125°C - qualified for aerospace, defense, and downhole instrumentation where extended thermal range is mandatory. |
| Input Compatibility | TTL-compatible with diode-clamped inputs - accepts standard 0.8V/2.0V logic thresholds and suppresses noise-induced false triggering. |
| Propagation Delay | 27 ns typical (low-to-high) at 5V/25°C - supports >15 MHz digital switching in timing-critical peripheral interfaces. |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - compatible with regulated 5V rails and tolerant of ±10% variation in military power systems. |
Pinout & Package
SN55454BJG is housed in an 8-pin Ceramic Dual In-line Package (CDIP) with 9.60 mm × 6.67 mm body size, hermetically sealed for high-reliability military use. Lead finish is SnPb (non-RoHS), and it is rated for manual soldering at 100°C for 10 seconds.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1A | Channel 1 Input A | Positive-logic NOR input; must be pulled low with ≤500 Ω to ensure reliable turn-on and avoid floating states. |
| 1B | Channel 1 Input B | Second positive-logic NOR input; tied together with 1A for single-input operation or grounded for always-active configuration. |
| 1Y | Channel 1 Output | Open-collector NPN output - sinks current to GND when both 1A and 1B are low; requires external pull-up for logic-high level. |
| GND | Ground Reference | Common return path for all inputs, outputs, and internal transistors; must be low-impedance for stable high-current switching. |
| VCC | Supply Voltage | +5V power rail; bypassed with 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor near pin to suppress switching noise and prevent supply droop. |
| 2A | Channel 2 Input A | Independent NOR input identical in function and electrical behavior to 1A; electrically isolated from Channel 1. |
| 2B | Channel 2 Input B | Independent NOR input identical in function and electrical behavior to 1B; no crosstalk with Channel 1 under normal operation. |
| 2Y | Channel 2 Output | Open-collector NPN output identical to 1Y; enables dual-load control (e.g., two lamps or one lamp + one relay) from single IC. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No latch-up at 20V/300mA | Guarantees robust operation during transient overvoltage events common in motor or solenoid switching environments. |
| Diode-clamped TTL inputs | Eliminates need for external clamping diodes and reduces board space while maintaining noise immunity up to ±1.5V input clamp voltage. |
| Open-collector outputs | Enables wired-OR bus architectures, level translation to higher voltages (e.g., 24V), and direct connection to mechanical relays or incandescent lamps. |
| Military temperature qualification | Validated performance across –55°C to 125°C ensures reliability in uncontrolled environments such as avionics bays or engine compartments. |
| Internal base resistors | Integrated 1.6 kΩ and 4 kΩ resistors eliminate external bias components, simplifying design and improving production consistency. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar NOR driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN55454BFK | 20-pin LCCC package; same –55°C to 125°C rating but larger footprint and different pinout (with NC pins); higher power dissipation (1375 mW vs 1050 mW). | Used where hermetic sealing and higher thermal margin are prioritized over board space; requires PCB redesign due to incompatible pin mapping. | Select SN55454BFK only when thermal load exceeds CDIP-8 limits or when LCCC's superior high-frequency grounding is required. |
| SN75454BD | SOIC-8 package; commercial temperature range (0°C to 70°C); RoHS-compliant NiPdAu lead finish; lower max power (725 mW); same logic function and electrical specs within temp range. | Suitable for cost-sensitive industrial controls or consumer test equipment where extended temperature is not required. | Choose SN75454BD for non-military applications needing surface-mount assembly, RoHS compliance, and lower procurement cost. |
Compared with SN55454BFK and SN75454BD, SN55454BJG uniquely balances military temperature operation, compact CDIP-8 form factor, and proven field reliability in harsh environments - making it irreplaceable for legacy aerospace upgrades and MIL-STD-883 qualified designs.

FAQ
What logic function does the SN55454BJG implement?
The SN55454BJG implements a dual NOR gate function: each channel's output (1Y or 2Y) goes low only when both corresponding inputs (1A/1B or 2A/2B) are low. This is confirmed by the device's functional truth table, schematic diagrams, and logic symbols in the official TI datasheet SLRS021E. The SN55454BJG is specifically the NOR variant of the SN5545xB family.
Is SN55454BJG pin-compatible with SN75454BD?
No, SN55454BJG is not pin-compatible with SN75454BD. SN55454BJG uses an 8-pin CDIP (JG) package with pin 1 = 1A, pin 2 = 1B, pin 3 = 1Y, pin 4 = GND, pin 5 = 2Y, pin 6 = 2A, pin 7 = 2B, pin 8 = VCC. SN75454BD uses an 8-pin SOIC (D) package with identical pin numbering and assignment - however, the physical dimensions, thermal characteristics, and soldering profiles differ significantly. While the pinout matches, the packages are not mechanically interchangeable without layout revision.
What is the maximum continuous output current per channel for SN55454BJG?
The maximum continuous output current per channel for SN55454BJG is 300 mA, as specified in the "Characterized for use to 300mA" feature list and confirmed in Section 6.1 Absolute Maximum Ratings (IOK = 400 mA peak, 300 mA continuous). This value applies under recommended operating conditions (VCC = 4.5–5.5 V, TA ≤ 125°C) with proper PCB thermal management per the JG package dissipation rating of 1050 mW at 25°C.
Does SN55454BJG require external base resistors for transistor biasing?
No, SN55454BJG does not require external base resistors. Its internal schematic (Figure 8-12 in SLRS021E) shows integrated 1.6 kΩ and 4 kΩ base resistors for each NPN output transistor. These resistors provide appropriate drive current for the internal transistors across the full military temperature range, eliminating the need for external bias components and simplifying PCB layout.
Can SN55454BJG be used in place of SN55451BJG in an AND-driver application?
No, SN55454BJG cannot be used in place of SN55451BJG for AND-driver applications because they implement different logic functions. SN55451BJG is an AND driver (output low only when both inputs are high), while SN55454BJG is a NOR driver (output low only when both inputs are low). Substituting them would invert system logic behavior and cause functional failure unless the upstream control logic is redesigned to accommodate the complementary truth table.
