Product details
Overview
SN74ALS109ANSR from Texas Instruments is a dual J-K positive-edge-triggered flip-flop IC operating at 0°C to 70°C, with 34 MHz maximum clock frequency, 6 mW typical power dissipation per flip-flop, and TTL-compatible input/output levels. It performs synchronous data storage, toggle, and D-type functions in digital control logic, bus interface timing, and state-machine sequencing.
For engineers reviewing the SN74ALS109ANSR datasheet, SN74ALS109ANSR pinout, SN74ALS109ANSR application, or SN74ALS109ANSR equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, SOP-16 package details, functional behavior under PRE/CLR override, setup/hold timing constraints, and validated alternatives for legacy TTL system upgrades.
Technical Context
The SN74ALS109ANSR implements two independent edge-triggered J-K flip-flops with asynchronous active-low preset (PRE) and clear (CLR) inputs. Clock triggering occurs at a defined voltage threshold-not dependent on rise time-and outputs retain state during hold-time intervals after CLK↑.
It supports multiple functional modes: as a toggle flip-flop (J=HIGH, K=LOW), D-type latch (J=K tied), or synchronous register (J/K driven separately). Output drive capability is ±4 mA (IOL=8 mA, IOH=−0.4 mA) under VCC=5 V, with VOL=0.4 V and VOH=VCC−2 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Family | Advanced Low-Power Schottky (ALS) TTL - enables higher speed than standard LS with lower power than AS. |
| Max Clock Frequency | 34 MHz - supports high-speed synchronous logic in industrial controllers and test equipment. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - compatible with standard 5 V TTL rails; absolute max 7 V. |
| Propagation Delay (tPLH/tPHL) | 5–16 ns - ensures predictable timing margins in multi-stage sequential circuits. |
| Power Dissipation | 6 mW per flip-flop (typical) - suitable for dense logic arrays without thermal derating. |
| Input Thresholds | VIL = 0.8 V, VIH = 2.0 V - robust noise immunity against TTL-level signal crosstalk. |
| Output Drive | IOL = 8 mA, IOH = −0.4 mA - sufficient to drive 10 standard TTL loads directly. |
Pinout & Package
SOP-16 (NS) package: 16-pin small-outline plastic package, 1.27 mm pitch, 10.4 mm × 5.3 mm body, RoHS-compliant NiPdAu lead finish, MSL Level-1, tape-and-reel (2000 pcs/reel).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1CLR | Asynchronous active-low clear for first flip-flop - forces Q=LOW regardless of clock or J/K. |
| 2 | 1J | Data input J for first flip-flop - determines set behavior on next CLK↑ when PRE/CLR inactive. |
| 3 | 1K | Data input K for first flip-flop - determines reset behavior on next CLK↑ when PRE/CLR inactive. |
| 4 | 1CLK | Positive-edge-triggered clock for first flip-flop - samples J/K only at rising transition. |
| 5 | 1PRE | Asynchronous active-low preset for first flip-flop - forces Q=HIGH regardless of clock or J/K. |
| 6 | 1Q | True output of first flip-flop - reflects stored state updated on CLK↑. |
| 7 | 1Q̅ | Complementary output of first flip-flop - inverted copy of 1Q, useful for feedback or differential routing. |
| 8 | GND | Ground reference - must be low-impedance connection to minimize switching noise coupling. |
| 9 | VCC | +5 V supply - decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF ceramic) required within 1 cm of pin. |
| 10 | 2CLR | Asynchronous active-low clear for second flip-flop - independent control from first section. |
| 11 | 2J | Data input J for second flip-flop - functionally identical to 1J but isolated circuitry. |
| 12 | 2K | Data input K for second flip-flop - functionally identical to 1K but isolated circuitry. |
| 13 | 2CLK | Positive-edge-triggered clock for second flip-flop - may share CLK with first or use separate source. |
| 14 | 2PRE | Asynchronous active-low preset for second flip-flop - independent control from first section. |
| 15 | 2Q | True output of second flip-flop - fully independent timing and state from first flip-flop. |
| 16 | 2Q̅ | Complementary output of second flip-flop - provides logical inversion without external gate. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Positive-edge clocking | Eliminates metastability risk from slow-rising clocks; triggers at voltage threshold, not dV/dt. |
| Asynchronous PRE/CLR | Enables immediate state initialization or reset without waiting for clock edge - critical for power-up sequencing. |
| Dual independent sections | Allows two separate state elements in one package - reduces board space vs. discrete 74ALS74 implementation. |
| J-K toggle mode | Configured by grounding K and tying J HIGH - provides divide-by-2 functionality without external logic. |
| TTL-compatible I/O | Direct interoperation with 74LS, 74F, and other TTL families without level-shifting components. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ALS109AN | Same ALS logic family, identical AC/DC specs, but in PDIP-16 package (25 pcs/tube, no RoHS exemption). | Preferred for through-hole prototyping or legacy repair where SOP rework is impractical. | Select SN74ALS109AN if manual soldering, socket-based testing, or compatibility with DIP-based test fixtures is required. |

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by SN74ALS109ANSR?
The SN74ALS109ANSR supports a maximum clock frequency of 34 MHz under recommended operating conditions (VCC = 4.5 V to 5.5 V, TA = 0°C to 70°C, CL = 50 pF). This value is specified in the switching characteristics table of the SDAS198B datasheet and reflects guaranteed timing performance across temperature and voltage extremes.
Does SN74ALS109ANSR support asynchronous reset and preset?
Yes, SN74ALS109ANSR features active-low asynchronous preset (1PRE, 2PRE) and clear (1CLR, 2CLR) inputs. When asserted LOW, these inputs force the corresponding Q output HIGH or LOW immediately-regardless of clock state or J/K inputs-as confirmed in the FUNCTION TABLE and absolute timing specifications.
Can SN74ALS109ANSR be used as a D-type flip-flop?
Yes, SN74ALS109ANSR can operate as a D-type flip-flop by connecting the J and K inputs together. The datasheet explicitly states this configuration enables D-latch behavior, where the combined J=K input determines the next-state Q on the positive clock edge.
What is the package type and lead finish of SN74ALS109ANSR?
SN74ALS109ANSR uses a 16-pin SOP (Small Outline Package) with NS drawing, 1.27 mm pitch, and NiPdAu (nickel-palladium-gold) lead finish. It is RoHS-compliant, MSL Level-1 rated, and supplied in large tape-and-reel format (2000 units per reel).
How does SN74ALS109ANSR differ from SN74AS109ANSR?
SN74ALS109ANSR operates up to 34 MHz with 6 mW typical power per flip-flop, while SN74AS109ANSR reaches 105 MHz but consumes 17 mA ICC and requires 20 mA IOL drive. The ALS version prioritizes power efficiency and thermal stability; the AS version targets speed-critical paths where higher current and heat are acceptable.
