Product details
Overview
SN74F109D from Texas Instruments is a dual J-K positive-edge-triggered flip-flop with independent clear (CLR) and preset (PRE) inputs, operating over 0°C to 70°C. It features 16-pin SOIC packaging, 70 MHz maximum clock frequency, 3 ns setup time, 1 ns hold time, and TTL-compatible input/output levels (VOH ≥ 2.5 V, VOL ≤ 0.5 V at IOL = 20 mA). It is used in synchronous logic control, state machine design, and digital counter circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SN74F109D datasheet, SN74F109D pinout, SN74F109D application, or SN74F109D equivalent, key selection considerations include its edge-triggered J-K functionality, dual independent flip-flop architecture, TTL-level interface compatibility, and SOIC-16 thermal and layout constraints for industrial control and legacy digital systems.
Technical Context
The SN74F109D implements two fully independent J-K flip-flops sharing no internal resources-each with dedicated J, K, CLK, PRE, CLR, Q, and Q̅ terminals. Clock triggering responds to voltage threshold crossing-not edge rate-enabling robust operation across varying slew rates.
Its asynchronous PRE/CLR inputs override clocked behavior with priority, forcing Q to high or low regardless of J/K states. When both PRE and CLR are high, data transfers on the positive clock edge only if setup (3 ns) and hold (1 ns) timing requirements are met-ensuring deterministic metastability avoidance in synchronous designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Family | F-series TTL - ensures compatibility with legacy 5 V TTL systems and predictable noise margins |
| Max Clock Frequency | 70 MHz - supports high-speed sequential logic in control registers and pipeline stages |
| Propagation Delay | tPLH/tPHL ≤ 8 ns - enables tight timing closure in multi-stage synchronous circuits |
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - requires stable 5 V rail; not tolerant of undervoltage or overvoltage operation |
| Input Thresholds | VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max - defines unambiguous logic-high/low recognition under TTL signaling |
| Output Drive | IOL = 20 mA, IOH = –1 mA - sufficient to drive multiple standard TTL loads (fan-out ≥ 10) |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to 70°C - qualified for commercial-grade applications, not extended or industrial temperature ranges |
Pinout & Package
SN74F109D uses a 16-pin SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) package with 1.27 mm pitch, 10.3 mm body width, and RoHS-compliant NiPdAu lead finish. MSL Level-1 rating allows unlimited floor life and reflow up to 260°C.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1CLR | Asynchronous active-low reset for first flip-flop; forces Q1 = 0, Q̅1 = 1 independently of clock |
| 2 | 1J | Data input controlling toggle/set behavior of first flip-flop on next clock edge |
| 3 | 1K | Data input controlling toggle/reset behavior of first flip-flop on next clock edge |
| 4 | 1CLK | Positive-edge-triggered clock input for first flip-flop; transitions >2.0 V recognized as valid edge |
| 5 | 1PRE | Asynchronous active-low preset for first flip-flop; forces Q1 = 1, Q̅1 = 0 independently of clock |
| 6 | 1Q | True output of first flip-flop; reflects stored state after clock edge or async assertion |
| 7 | 1Q̅ | Inverted output of first flip-flop; complementary to 1Q, useful for feedback or differential routing |
| 8 | GND | Power ground reference for all internal circuitry and I/O buffers |
| 9 | VCC | +5 V supply input; must be decoupled locally to suppress switching noise |
| 10 | 2CLR | Asynchronous active-low reset for second flip-flop; independent of first section |
| 11 | 2J | Data input for second flip-flop; enables independent J-K control per channel |
| 12 | 2K | Data input for second flip-flop; supports toggle, set, reset, or hold functions |
| 13 | 2CLK | Positive-edge-triggered clock for second flip-flop; electrically isolated from 1CLK |
| 14 | 2PRE | Asynchronous active-low preset for second flip-flop; no interaction with first section |
| 15 | 2Q | True output of second flip-flop; usable for cascaded counters or parallel register banks |
| 16 | 2Q̅ | Inverted output of second flip-flop; provides complementary signal without external inversion |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent J-K flip-flops | Enables two separate synchronous storage elements in one IC-reducing board space vs discrete solutions |
| Asynchronous preset and clear | Allows immediate initialization or forced state without waiting for clock edge-critical for power-up sequencing |
| TTL-compatible input thresholds | Guarantees interoperability with legacy 74LS/74F logic families without level-shifting components |
| Positive-edge clock triggering | Eliminates ambiguity from slow-rising clocks; triggers on voltage threshold, not slope-improving noise immunity |
| Configurable as D-type or toggle | J=K ties enable D-latch emulation; J=1/K=0 or J=0/K=1 enable set/reset modes-increasing functional flexibility |
Applications
| Counter Design | State Machine Control |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Building binary or modulo-N counters using cascaded J-K outputs and feedback logic.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74F109N | Same electrical specs and logic function; differs only in 16-pin PDIP (through-hole) packaging | Suitable for prototyping, through-hole assembly, or legacy board rework where SOIC is not feasible | Select SN74F109N for hand-soldered development or socket-based testing; SN74F109D for surface-mount production |
| SN74LS109N | Lower speed (40 MHz max), higher propagation delay (25 ns), reduced drive strength (IOL = 8 mA), same pinout | Acceptable in lower-frequency systems where power efficiency or legacy LS compatibility is prioritized over speed | Choose SN74LS109N only if system clock <40 MHz and fan-out ≤ 4; otherwise SN74F109D delivers superior timing margin |
Compared with SN74F109N and SN74LS109N, the SN74F109D offers optimal balance of speed (70 MHz), drive capability (20 mA), and modern SOIC packaging-making it the preferred choice for new 5 V TTL designs requiring reliable edge-triggered storage without layout redesign.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the SN74F109D?
The SN74F109D supports a maximum clock frequency of 70 MHz under recommended operating conditions (VCC = 4.5 V to 5.5 V, TA = 0°C to 70°C). This value is verified per the official Texas Instruments SDFS047A datasheet, with timing measured at CL = 50 pF and RL = 500 Ω. Exceeding this frequency risks setup/hold violations and metastability in the SN74F109D flip-flop outputs.
Does the SN74F109D support asynchronous reset and preset functions?
Yes, the SN74F109D provides fully asynchronous active-low clear (CLR) and preset (PRE) inputs for each of its two independent J-K flip-flops. When asserted low, these inputs force the corresponding Q output high (PRE) or low (CLR) immediately-regardless of clock state or J/K values. This behavior is confirmed in the function table and timing diagrams of the SN74F109D datasheet.
Is the SN74F109D pin-compatible with the SN74LS109N?
Yes, the SN74F109D is pin-compatible with the SN74LS109N in the 16-pin SOIC (D) and PDIP (N) packages respectively-both follow identical pin numbering and terminal assignments per TI's logic symbol and top-view diagrams. However, SN74F109D offers higher speed (70 MHz vs 40 MHz) and stronger output drive (20 mA vs 8 mA), so electrical validation is required in high-speed designs.
What are the absolute maximum ratings for the SN74F109D supply voltage?
The absolute maximum supply voltage (VCC) for the SN74F109D is –0.5 V to +7.0 V, as specified in the "Absolute Maximum Ratings" section of the TI SDFS047A datasheet. Operation outside the recommended range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V may cause permanent damage or unpredictable behavior. The SN74F109D is not rated for 3.3 V operation and requires a regulated 5 V source.
Can the SN74F109D be used as a D-type flip-flop?
Yes, the SN74F109D can be configured as a D-type flip-flop by connecting the J and K inputs of each section together-using the combined node as the D input. When J = K = D, the flip-flop transfers D to Q on the next positive clock edge. This functional equivalence is explicitly documented in the SN74F109D datasheet description and confirmed by its truth table behavior.
