Product details
Overview
SNJ54ABT377J from Texas Instruments is a military-grade octal positive-edge-triggered D-type flip-flop with clock enable, operating from –55°C to 125°C. It features 8-bit synchronous storage, high-drive outputs (–32 mA IOH / 64 mA IOL), <1 V output ground bounce at 5 V, and latch-up immunity >500 mA per JESD-17. It is used in military avionics data buffering and radiation-tolerant register staging.
For engineers reviewing the SNJ54ABT377J datasheet, SNJ54ABT377J pinout, SNJ54ABT377J application, or SNJ54ABT377J equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, JEDEC-standard CDIP-20 package details, timing constraints (tsu = 2 ns, th = 1.8 ns), and direct alternatives for high-reliability logic design.
Technical Context
This device implements eight independent D-type latches synchronized to the rising edge of CLK only when CLKEN is low. Its EPIC-IIB BiCMOS architecture combines bipolar speed with CMOS power efficiency, enabling 150 MHz operation while limiting ICC to 30 mA max under full load.
Input thresholds are TTL-compatible (VIH = 2 V, VIL = 0.8 V), and outputs drive ±32 mA/±64 mA loads with VOH ≥ 2.0 V (IOH = –32 mA) and VOL ≤ 0.55 V (IOL = 64 mA). The circuit prevents false triggering via buffered CLKEN gating and internal noise suppression.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

| 11–18 | 1Q–8Q | True outputs - each reflects registered state of matching D input on CLK↑ |
| 10 | GND | Digital ground reference - dedicated pin minimizes ground bounce coupling |
| 20 | VCC | Power supply - decoupling required within 10 mm due to high di/dt during switching |
| 19 | CLK | Clock input - edge-triggered on rising transition; internally buffered for noise immunity |
Key Features

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SNJ54ABT377FK | LCCC-20 ceramic package; identical electrical specs but different thermal resistance (θJA = N/A vs. CDIP's 67°C/W) | Better high-frequency stability in vibration-prone platforms; requires different PCB land pattern and reflow profile | Select FK for surface-mount integration in space-constrained avionics modules where hermetic sealing and low inductance are critical. |
| 5962-9314801QRA | MIL-PRF-38535 certified version of SNJ54ABT377J; includes additional screening (burn-in, lot acceptance tests) | Required for DoD procurement contracts mandating Class V or Class H reliability assurance | Choose QRA when compliance with MIL-STD-883 methods 1015, 2003, and 2031 is contractually mandated. |
Compared with SNJ54ABT377J, SNJ54ABT377FK offers superior high-frequency mechanical stability but demands redesign of mounting and thermal management, while 5962-9314801QRA adds qualification overhead without altering functional behavior - making SNJ54ABT377J optimal for cost-sensitive, non-certified military upgrades.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by SNJ54ABT377J?
The SNJ54ABT377J supports a maximum clock frequency of 150 MHz across its full operating temperature range (–55°C to 125°C), verified under recommended conditions (VCC = 4.5 V to 5.5 V, CL = 50 pF). This rating applies to both data registration and clock-enable gating functions in the SNJ54ABT377J.
Does SNJ54ABT377J require external pull-up resistors on unused inputs?
Yes, SNJ54ABT377J requires all unused inputs-including CLKEN, D inputs, and CLK-to be held statically high or low per Note 3 in the datasheet. Floating inputs may cause excessive ICC, increased noise susceptibility, or unintended clocking in the SNJ54ABT377J.
What is the absolute maximum supply voltage rating for SNJ54ABT377J?
The absolute maximum supply voltage for SNJ54ABT377J is 7 V, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. Operation above 5.5 V (recommended max) risks permanent damage, and sustained voltage beyond 7 V violates JEDEC stress limits for the SNJ54ABT377J.
Is SNJ54ABT377J compatible with standard TTL logic levels?
Yes, SNJ54ABT377J accepts TTL-compatible input thresholds: VIH = 2.0 V minimum and VIL = 0.8 V maximum. Its outputs drive standard TTL loads with VOH ≥ 2.0 V (at –32 mA) and VOL ≤ 0.55 V (at +64 mA), ensuring interoperability in mixed-logic systems using SNJ54ABT377J.
What package type does SNJ54ABT377J use, and is it RoHS-compliant?
SNJ54ABT377J uses a ceramic dual-in-line package (CDIP-20) with SNPB (tin-lead) lead finish. It is RoHS-exempt per TI's packaging documentation and intended for military/aerospace applications where leaded finishes are required for solder joint reliability - a defining characteristic of the SNJ54ABT377J.
