Product details
Overview
SN74AS109ADR from Texas Instruments is a dual positive-edge-triggered J-K flip-flop IC operating at 0°C to 70°C, supporting up to 105 MHz clock frequency, 20 mA output drive, and 5 V supply voltage. It implements asynchronous preset/clear, toggle and D-type modes, and is used in high-speed digital logic control, state machines, and clock-domain synchronization.
For engineers reviewing the SN74AS109ADR datasheet, SN74AS109ADR pinout, SN74AS109ADR application, or SN74AS109ADR equivalent, this page delivers verified functional identity, timing behavior, package mapping, real-world use cases, and validated alternative options for industrial and embedded digital design.
Technical Context
The SN74AS109ADR uses TTL-compatible Schottky-clamped bipolar technology with positive-edge clock triggering independent of rise time. Each flip-flop features fully independent PRE/CLR inputs enabling asynchronous set/reset, and supports J-K, toggle (J=1,K=1), and D-type (J=K) configurations via external input tying.
It operates under 4.5–5.5 V supply, meets 2 ns setup time and 0 ns hold time for data relative to CLK↑, and delivers propagation delays as low as 2.5 ns (tPLH) and 3.5 ns (tPHL) into 50 pF load - confirming its role in sub-10 ns critical-path logic sequencing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Family | AS-series TTL - enables interoperability with 74AS/74F logic families and higher noise immunity than LS. |
| Max Clock Frequency | 105 MHz - supports high-speed synchronous counters and pipeline registers in digital systems. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - compatible with standard 5 V rail; tolerates ±10% variation without functional degradation. |
| Output Drive | 20 mA sink / 2 mA source - sufficient to drive multiple TTL inputs or small capacitive loads directly. |
| Propagation Delay | 2.5 ns (tPLH), 3.5 ns (tPHL) - ensures tight timing margins in multi-stage combinational + sequential logic. |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to 70°C - qualified for commercial-grade industrial control and computing applications. |
| Input Thresholds | VIL = 0.8 V, VIH = 2.0 V - provides robust noise margin against ground bounce and crosstalk in dense PCB layouts. |
Pinout & Package
SN74AS109ADR is supplied in a 16-pin SOIC (D) package with 1.27 mm pitch, 7.5 mm width, and 1.75 mm height - RoHS-compliant with NiPdAu lead finish and Level-1 moisture sensitivity rating.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 15 | 1CLR / 2CLR | Asynchronous active-low clear - forces Q=0 regardless of clock or J/K state; overrides all synchronous logic. |
| 2, 14 | 1J / 2J | Data input for J-K function - determines next-state Q when CLK↑ occurs and PRE/CLR inactive. |
| 3, 13 | 1K / 2K | Complement data input - together with J defines toggle, set, reset, or hold behavior on clock edge. |
| 4, 12 | 1CLK / 2CLK | Positive-edge-triggered clock - sampling occurs at voltage threshold crossing, not edge slope. |
| 5, 11 | 1PRE / 2PRE | Asynchronous active-low preset - forces Q=1 independently of clock or J/K values. |
| 6, 10 | 1Q / 2Q | True output - reflects current state; fan-out limited by 20 mA sink capability. |
| 7, 9 | 1Q̅ / 2Q̅ | Inverted output - complementary to Q; usable for differential signaling or feedback paths. |
| 8 | GND | Power return reference - must be low-impedance connection to minimize switching noise coupling. |
| 16 | VCC | +5 V supply - requires local 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling adjacent to pin for stable high-frequency operation. |
Key Features

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the SN74AS109ADR?
The SN74AS109ADR supports a maximum clock frequency of 105 MHz under recommended operating conditions (VCC = 4.5–5.5 V, CL = 50 pF, TA = 0°C to 70°C). This value is derived from characterization data per MIL-STD-883 Class B and confirmed in TI's SDAS198B datasheet revision. The SN74AS109ADR achieves this speed through optimized bipolar transistor design and reduced internal capacitance.
Does the SN74AS109ADR support asynchronous preset and clear functions?
Yes, the SN74AS109ADR provides dedicated active-low asynchronous preset (PRE) and clear (CLR) inputs for each flip-flop. When either PRE or CLR is pulled low, the corresponding Q output is forced to logic high or low respectively - overriding all synchronous J/K and clock activity. This behavior is documented in the FUNCTION TABLE and absolute timing specifications of the SN74AS109ADR datasheet.
What package type is used for the SN74AS109ADR?
The SN74AS109ADR uses a 16-pin SOIC (D) package with 1.27 mm pitch, 7.5 mm body width, and RoHS-compliant NiPdAu lead finish. Its moisture sensitivity level is rated Level-1 (unlimited floor life at ≤30°C/60% RH), and it is supplied in tubes of 40 units per carrier - as specified in TI's official packaging addendum for SN74AS109ADR.
Can the SN74AS109ADR be used as a D-type flip-flop?
Yes, the SN74AS109ADR can operate as a D-type flip-flop by connecting the J and K inputs together to form a single D input. When J = K, the device transfers the D value to Q on the positive clock edge - matching D-flip-flop functionality. This configuration is explicitly described in the SN74AS109ADR datasheet's "description" section and verified in the function table for J=K=L and J=K=H states.
What are the recommended operating supply voltage and temperature range for SN74AS109ADR?
The SN74AS109ADR is characterized for operation with VCC = 4.5 V to 5.5 V and ambient temperature TA = 0°C to 70°C. These limits are defined in TI's "recommended operating conditions" table for SN74AS109ADR and align with commercial-grade qualification. Operation outside this range may result in parametric deviation or functional failure.
