Product details
Overview
SN74AS109ADRG4 from Texas Instruments is a dual positive-edge-triggered J-K flip-flop IC operating at 0°C to 70°C, supporting 105 MHz maximum clock frequency, 17 mA typical ICC supply current, and 20 mA output sink capability in a 16-pin SOIC (D) package. It performs synchronous data latching, toggle, and D-type functions in digital control logic and state-machine circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SN74AS109ADRG4 datasheet, SN74AS109ADRG4 pinout, SN74AS109ADRG4 application, or SN74AS109ADRG4 equivalent, key selection factors include its high-speed AS-family propagation delay (2.5–9 ns), TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIL = 0.8 V), rail-to-rail output swing under load, and compatibility with legacy 74-series board layouts requiring dual J-K functionality.
Technical Context
This device implements two independent J-K flip-flops with asynchronous preset (PRE) and clear (CLR) inputs active-low, enabling immediate state override regardless of clock edge. Each flip-flop samples J and K inputs on the rising edge of CLK only when PRE and CLR are high, satisfying setup (tsu = 2 ns) and hold (th = 0 ns) timing constraints.
The SN74AS109ADRG4 uses bipolar Schottky (AS) technology for fast switching and low propagation skew between Q and Q̅ outputs. Its output stage delivers ±2 mA high-level and 20 mA low-level drive into standard TTL loads, with VOH ≥ VCC−2 V and VOL ≤ 0.5 V at IOL = 20 mA - critical for noise-immune inter-stage interfacing in high-density logic systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Family | TTL-compatible Advanced Schottky (AS), ensuring interoperability with 74LS/74ALS and driving capability beyond standard TTL. |
| Max Clock Frequency | 105 MHz - enables use in high-speed counters, shift registers, and clock-domain synchronization up to 9.5 ns period. |
| Propagation Delay (tPLH/tPHL) | 2.5–9 ns - supports sub-10 ns timing margins in pipeline stages and synchronous state machines. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - compatible with regulated +5 V rails and tolerant of transient droop during heavy switching. |
| Output Drive Strength | 20 mA sink / −2 mA source - sufficient to directly drive multiple 74-series inputs or small LED indicators without buffering. |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to 70°C - qualified for commercial-grade industrial control, test equipment, and computing peripheral logic. |
| Input Thresholds | VIL = 0.8 V, VIH = 2.0 V - provides robust noise margin against ground bounce and crosstalk in mixed-signal PCB environments. |
Pinout & Package
SN74AS109ADRG4 is housed in a 16-pin SOIC (D) package, 7.5 mm wide, with 1.27 mm pitch, RoHS-compliant NiPdAu lead finish, and moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 1 (unlimited floor life at <30°C/60% RH).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 15 | 1CLR / 2CLR | Asynchronous active-low clear for Flip-Flop 1 and 2 - forces Q = L, Q̅ = H independently of clock or J/K states. |
| 2, 14 | 1J / 2J | Data input for set condition - when PRE and CLR high, J = H and K = L sets Q = H on next CLK↑. |
| 3, 13 | 1K / 2K | Data input for reset condition - when PRE and CLR high, J = L and K = H resets Q = L on next CLK↑. |
| 4, 12 | 1CLK / 2CLK | Positive-edge-triggered clock input - transition from L to H transfers validated J/K data to outputs; edge-sensitive, not slew-rate dependent. |
| 5, 11 | 1PRE / 2PRE | Asynchronous active-low preset - forces Q = H, Q̅ = L independently of clock or J/K states. |
| 6, 10 | 1Q / 2Q | True output of Flip-Flop 1 and 2 - complements logic state of corresponding J/K inputs sampled at CLK↑ when PRE/CLR inactive. |
| 7, 9 | 1Q̅ / 2Q̅ | Inverted output - provides complementary signal for differential routing, enable/disable logic, or toggle-mode feedback. |
| 8 | GND | Power return reference - must be low-inductance connection to minimize ground bounce affecting timing margins. |
| 16 | VCC | +5 V supply - requires local 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling adjacent to pin to suppress high-frequency supply noise. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent J-K flip-flops | Enables compact implementation of two-bit registers, binary counters, or parallel-load shift registers without external gating. |
| Asynchronous PRE/CLR per flip-flop | Allows deterministic initialization or fault recovery in real-time control systems without waiting for clock edges. |
| Toggle and D-type configuration support | J=K=H yields toggle mode; J=K tied together yields D-type behavior - increases functional flexibility per device. |
| High-speed AS logic family | Delivers 105 MHz operation with sub-10 ns delays - outperforms ALS variants by >3× in clock rate for same power envelope. |
| TTL-compatible voltage thresholds | Accepts standard 0.8 V/2.0 V logic levels and drives legacy TTL loads directly - eliminates level-shifter requirements in retrofits. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Sequencing | Digital Test Equipment Counters |
|---|---|

Use Value: 0 ns hold time (th) eliminates need for external synchronizer chains, reducing BOM count and PCB area by 30% versus discrete solutions. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ALS109AD | Lower max clock (34 MHz), higher tsu (15 ns), 4 mA IOL, 4 mA ICC - AS family offers 3× speed and 4× drive vs ALS. | Suitable for cost-sensitive, lower-speed control logic where timing margins exceed 30 ns. | Select SN74ALS109AD only if system clock ≤25 MHz and power budget <5 mA per flip-flop is mandatory. |
| SN74F112N | Fast TTL variant: 60 MHz max, 10 ns tPLH, 20 mA IOL, but no guaranteed 0 ns th and wider VIL range (0.8 V vs F-series 0.5 V). | Better for mixed-logic systems with older 74F peripherals needing tighter input noise immunity. | Choose SN74F112N when interfacing with legacy 74F bus transceivers and board layout cannot accommodate AS-family's stricter VIL. |
Compared with SN74ALS109AD and SN74F112N, SN74AS109ADRG4 delivers the highest clock rate and lowest propagation delay in the 74xx109 family, making it optimal for new designs targeting >50 MHz operation while retaining full pin and functional compatibility.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the SN74AS109ADRG4?
The SN74AS109ADRG4 supports a maximum clock frequency of 105 MHz under recommended operating conditions (VCC = 4.5 V to 5.5 V, CL = 50 pF, TA = 0°C to 70°C). This value is characterized but not production-tested per MIL-STD-883 Class B; actual system-level performance depends on PCB layout, decoupling, and load capacitance. The SN74AS109ADRG4 achieves this using Advanced Schottky transistor technology to minimize internal propagation delay.
Does the SN74AS109ADRG4 support true toggle mode operation?
Yes, the SN74AS109ADRG4 supports true toggle mode: tie J and K inputs high (J = K = VCC), then apply clock pulses - each rising edge toggles Q and Q̅ outputs. This behavior is guaranteed across the full operating temperature and voltage range, with no external components required. The SN74AS109ADRG4's 0 ns hold time ensures reliable toggling even with skewed or noisy clock edges.
What are the absolute maximum ratings for SN74AS109ADRG4 supply voltage and input voltage?
The absolute maximum supply voltage (VCC) for SN74AS109ADRG4 is 7 V, and the absolute maximum input voltage (VI) is also 7 V - exceeding either rating risks permanent damage. These are stress limits only; functional operation is specified only within 4.5 V to 5.5 V for VCC and −0.5 V to VCC+0.5 V for VI. The SN74AS109ADRG4 must never be operated continuously at absolute maximum conditions, as reliability degradation may occur.
Can SN74AS109ADRG4 be used as a D-type flip-flop?
Yes, the SN74AS109ADRG4 can function as a D-type flip-flop by connecting J to the data input and K to its logical inverse (via an inverter) or by tying J and K together and feeding the data signal to both - in this configuration, Q follows D on each CLK↑. This usage is explicitly documented in the SN74AS109ADRG4 datasheet and maintains full timing compliance, including setup (2 ns) and hold (0 ns) requirements.
Is SN74AS109ADRG4 pin-compatible with SN74ALS109AD?
Yes, SN74AS109ADRG4 is pin-compatible with SN74ALS109AD: both use identical 16-pin SOIC (D) packages with matching pin functions, ordering, and mechanical dimensions. However, SN74AS109ADRG4 operates at higher speed (105 MHz vs 34 MHz) and draws more supply current (17 mA vs 4 mA), so thermal and timing validation is required when upgrading. The SN74AS109ADRG4 retains full electrical compatibility for VCC, VIH/VIL, and output drive levels.
