Product details
Overview
SNJ54ABT374J from Texas Instruments is a military-grade octal edge-triggered D-type flip-flop with 3-state outputs, designed for high-speed bus interface and register applications in harsh environments. It operates across –55°C to 125°C, delivers ±32-mA high-drive outputs, supports up to 150-MHz clock frequency, and features low ground bounce (<1 V) at 5 V. It is used in avionics data buffers and radiation-tolerant I/O port designs.
For engineers reviewing the SNJ54ABT374J datasheet, SNJ54ABT374J pinout, SNJ54ABT374J application, or SNJ54ABT374J equivalent, key selection criteria include its CDIP (J) package compatibility, military temperature range, 3-state output control timing (tPZH/tPLZ < 4.7 ns), and high-current drive capability for driving capacitive backplanes without external termination.
Technical Context
This device implements eight independent positive-edge-triggered D flip-flops with asynchronous 3-state output enable (OE). Each flip-flop latches D-input data on the rising edge of CLK while OE remains low; when OE is high, all Q outputs enter high-impedance state without affecting internal storage.
The SNJ54ABT374J uses EPIC-IIB BiCMOS process technology to achieve low power dissipation and latch-up immunity exceeding 500 mA per JEDEC JESD-17. Its output structure supports bidirectional bus driving with –32-mA IOH and 64-mA IOL, enabling direct connection to TTL/CMOS loads without pull-ups or interface logic.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Function | Octal D-type flip-flop with 3-state outputs - enables synchronous data latching and bus isolation in shared-data-path systems. |
| Clock Frequency | Up to 150 MHz - supports high-throughput digital control and test equipment timing requirements. |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - compatible with standard 5-V TTL/CMOS systems and ensures stable operation under rail variation. |
| Output Drive | –32 mA IOH / 64 mA IOL - drives heavy capacitive loads (e.g., >50 pF buses) without signal degradation or added buffering. |
| Propagation Delay | tPLH/tPHL ≤ 6.6 ns (CLK→Q) - guarantees sub-7-ns timing margin for 150-MHz synchronous designs. |
| Enable Timing | tPZH/tPLZ ≤ 4.7 ns (OE→Q) - allows fast bus turnaround in multiplexed memory or peripheral interfaces. |
| Operating Temperature | –55°C to 125°C - qualified for aerospace, defense, and downhole industrial applications requiring extended thermal reliability. |
Pinout & Package
Ceramic Dual-In-Line Package (CDIP), 20-pin, through-hole mounting. Pin 1 index located at top-left corner with notch or dot marking. Package height ≤ 4.95 mm, body width 7.62 mm, lead spacing 2.54 mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 | Data inputs (D1–D8) | Asynchronous parallel data inputs synchronized to CLK rising edge; must be stable during setup/hold windows. |
| 9 | Output enable (OE) | Active-low control: OE = L enables Q outputs; OE = H forces all Q into high-impedance state regardless of CLK/D state. |
| 10 | GND | Ground reference for all internal circuitry and output drivers; requires low-inductance connection to minimize ground bounce. |
| 11 | VCC | Positive supply (4.5–5.5 V); decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF ceramic + 10 µF tantalum) required within 10 mm of pin. |
| 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 | Outputs (Q1–Q8) | 3-state buffered outputs; high-impedance state isolates bus lines during data arbitration or standby modes. |
| 20 | CLK | Global clock input; positive-edge sensitive; requires clean, monotonic transition with <5 ns/V input slew rate. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| EPIC-IIB BiCMOS Process | Reduces static power consumption while maintaining TTL-compatible speed and drive strength. |
| Latch-Up Immunity | Exceeds 500 mA per JEDEC JESD-17 - eliminates risk of destructive latch-up in high-noise or ESD-prone systems. |
| Output Ground Bounce | Typical VOLP < 1 V at VCC = 5 V - preserves signal integrity during simultaneous output switching on shared ground planes. |
| ESD Protection | ≥2000 V per MIL-STD-883 Method 3015 - withstands handling and board-level ESD events without functional degradation. |
| High-Drive Outputs | –32 mA IOH / 64 mA IOL - eliminates need for external bus transceivers in legacy 5-V system upgrades. |
Applications
| Avionics Data Buffering | Military I/O Port Expansion |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal D-type flip-flop applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ABT374ADW | Commercial temperature range (–40°C to 85°C); SOIC-20 package; RoHS-compliant NiPdAu finish. | Not qualified for military/aerospace use; lacks JESD-17 latch-up rating and MIL-STD-883 screening. | Select for cost-sensitive industrial controls where extended temperature and radiation tolerance are not required. |
| SNJ54ABT374FK | LCCC-20 ceramic package; same military temp range and electrical specs; different mechanical footprint and thermal resistance (θJA = N/A). | Better high-frequency performance due to lower parasitic inductance; suited for RF-adjacent digital subsystems. | Choose when board space is constrained and superior EMI immunity or higher reflow survivability is needed. |
Compared with SN74ABT374ADW, SNJ54ABT374J offers guaranteed operation at –55°C and 125°C with enhanced latch-up immunity, while SNJ54ABT374FK provides superior high-frequency signal integrity in compact LCCC form - making SNJ54ABT374J optimal for through-hole-reliant, thermally demanding legacy military platforms.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by SNJ54ABT374J?
The SNJ54ABT374J supports a maximum clock frequency of 150 MHz across its full operating temperature range (–55°C to 125°C). This specification is verified under recommended conditions (VCC = 4.5 V to 5.5 V, CL = 50 pF), and timing margins remain valid even at temperature extremes due to TI's military-grade characterization. The SNJ54ABT374J achieves this performance using EPIC-IIB BiCMOS process technology.
Does SNJ54ABT374J require external pull-up resistors on the OE pin?
Yes - to ensure the outputs remain in high-impedance state during power-up or power-down, OE should be tied to VCC through a pull-up resistor. The minimum value depends on the current-sinking capability of the driving source; TI recommends verifying against the specific driver's IOH spec. This requirement applies uniquely to SNJ54ABT374J and other members of the 54ABT logic family to prevent bus contention at power transition.
Can SNJ54ABT374J be used as a drop-in replacement for SN74ABT374A?
No - SNJ54ABT374J is not a drop-in replacement for SN74ABT374A. While both share identical logic functionality and pinout, SNJ54ABT374J uses a ceramic DIP (J) package with tin-lead leads and is characterized for –55°C to 125°C, whereas SN74ABT374A uses RoHS-compliant plastic packages (SOIC, TSSOP) rated only to –40°C to 85°C. PCB layout, thermal management, and qualification requirements differ significantly.
What is the absolute maximum supply voltage for SNJ54ABT374J?
The absolute maximum supply voltage for SNJ54ABT374J is 7 V, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. Operation above 5.5 V (recommended max) risks permanent damage even if within the 7-V limit. This rating applies strictly to transient conditions; continuous operation must remain within 4.5 V to 5.5 V to ensure timing compliance, latch-up immunity, and long-term reliability per MIL-PRF-38535 standards.
How does SNJ54ABT374J handle unused inputs?
Unused inputs on SNJ54ABT374J must be held high or low to prevent floating states that could cause excessive current draw or metastability. TI explicitly specifies this in the Recommended Operating Conditions note: "Unused inputs must be held high or low." Leaving inputs unconnected violates the device's DC and AC specifications and may compromise noise immunity, especially in high-radiation or high-EMI environments where SNJ54ABT374J is typically deployed.
