Product details
Overview
SNJ54AC374 from Texas Instruments is a military-grade octal D-type edge-triggered flip-flop with 3-state noninverting outputs, operating from 2V to 6V VCC, featuring 9.5ns max propagation delay at 5V and designed for bus-oriented I/O buffering in high-reliability aerospace and defense systems.
For engineers reviewing the SNJ54AC374 datasheet, SNJ54AC374 pinout, SNJ54AC374 application, or SNJ54AC374 equivalent, this device serves as a radiation-tolerant, wide-supply-voltage register for bidirectional data latching, bus driving, and working register functions in harsh-environment digital subsystems requiring deterministic timing and high-impedance output control.
Technical Context
The SNJ54AC374 implements eight independent D-type flip-flops triggered on the positive clock edge, with synchronous data capture and asynchronous 3-state output enable (OE) control. Its logic diagram confirms noninverting Q outputs and OE-driven high-impedance state independent of internal clock operation.
It supports full parallel loading across all eight bits, accepts input voltages up to 6V regardless of VCC, and maintains specified timing (tsu = 4ns, th = 1.5ns, tPLH/tPHL ≤ 9.5ns at 5V) over −55°C to +125°C, meeting MIL-PRF-38535 Class V requirements for military applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2V to 6V - enables interoperability with mixed-voltage logic domains and robust operation under supply variation. |
| Max Propagation Delay | 9.5ns at 5V - ensures sub-10ns timing margin for high-speed synchronous bus interfaces up to 100MHz. |
| Output Drive | ±24mA at 5.5V - directly drives capacitive bus loads without external buffers or pull-ups. |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | Up to 6V - allows interfacing with legacy 5V TTL or overvoltage-safe inputs without level shifters. |
| Operating Temperature | −55°C to +125°C - qualified for extended-range military and space-grade embedded control systems. |
| 3-State Enable Logic | Active-low OE - provides precise bus contention control and supports hot-swap-capable backplane designs. |
| Power Dissipation Capacitance | 40pF - enables accurate dynamic power estimation in high-frequency clocked register applications. |
Pinout & Package
SNJ54AC374 is packaged in a 20-pin Ceramic Dual-In-Line Package (CDIP, J package), 24.33mm × 9.4mm body size, with through-hole mounting and military-grade hermetic sealing.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OE) | Output Enable (active-low) | Asynchronously places all eight Q outputs into high-impedance state; does not affect internal flip-flop state or clocking. |
| 2–9, 12, 15–19 (1Q–8Q) | Noninverting Data Outputs | Drive bus lines directly; each output independently controllable via shared OE; no external pull-up required. |
| 3–4, 7–8, 13–14, 17–18 (1D–8D) | Data Inputs | Accept logic levels up to 6V; latch on rising CLK edge; tolerate floating inputs only when tied to VCC or GND. |
| 10 (GND) | Ground Reference | Primary return path for all I/O and internal logic; requires low-inductance connection to system ground plane. |
| 11 (CLK) | Clock Input | Rising-edge sensitive; supports 100MHz max frequency at 5V; requires clean, monotonic transitions per TI layout guidelines. |
| 20 (VCC) | Power Supply | Supplies core logic and output drivers; requires local 0.1µF bypass capacitor placed adjacent to pin per TI recommendation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal D-type latch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74AC374N | Commercial-grade (−40°C to +85°C), same pinout and AC specs, RoHS-compliant NiPdAu finish. | Not qualified for military temperature range or screening; unsuitable for flight-critical systems. | Select for cost-sensitive industrial or test equipment where extended temperature and MIL-spec are unnecessary. |
| SNJ54ACT374J | TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2.0V min), identical CDIP-20 package and military temp range. | Higher input current and slightly slower tpd (10.5ns); optimized for legacy TTL bus interfacing. | Choose when interfacing with older 5V TTL logic families requiring guaranteed TTL-level recognition. |
Compared with SNJ54AC374, SN74AC374N offers commercial cost and RoHS compliance but lacks military screening and extended temperature capability, while SNJ54ACT374J trades AC speed for guaranteed TTL input compatibility-making SNJ54AC374 optimal for new high-speed CMOS bus designs in defense platforms.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by SNJ54AC374 at 5V?
The SNJ54AC374 supports a maximum clock frequency of 100MHz at VCC = 5V ± 0.5V, as verified in Section 4.6 of the TI SCAS543G datasheet. This rating applies across the full −55°C to +125°C operating range and assumes proper load conditions and clean clock edges per TI's recommended layout practices. The SNJ54AC374 achieves this performance with 4ns minimum pulse width and 4ns setup time requirements.
Does SNJ54AC374 require external pull-up resistors on its outputs?
No, SNJ54AC374 does not require external pull-up resistors on its outputs. Its 3-state noninverting outputs provide ±24mA drive capability at 5.5V and are designed to drive bus lines directly. TI explicitly states in the datasheet that the high-impedance state eliminates the need for interface or pullup components, and the outputs remain functional without external biasing when enabled.
Can SNJ54AC374 operate with a 3.3V supply voltage?
Yes, SNJ54AC374 operates reliably at 3.3V supply voltage. Its VCC range is specified from 2V to 6V, and timing characteristics-including 60MHz maximum clock frequency and 5.5ns setup time-are guaranteed at VCC = 3.3V ± 0.3V per Section 4.5 of the datasheet. Input voltage tolerance up to 6V further ensures compatibility with mixed-voltage signaling environments.
What is the function of the OE pin on SNJ54AC374?
The OE (Output Enable) pin on SNJ54AC374 is an active-low control that places all eight Q outputs simultaneously into a high-impedance state without affecting internal flip-flop operation. As confirmed in Section 6.3, OE has no impact on data retention or clocked updates-allowing new data to be loaded or old data retained while outputs are disabled. This enables safe bus sharing and hot-swap capability in backplane systems.
Is SNJ54AC374 pin-compatible with SN74AC374?
Yes, SNJ54AC374 is pin-compatible with SN74AC374 in the same CDIP-20 (J) package variant. Both share identical pin numbering, pin functions (including OE, CLK, Dn, Qn, VCC, GND), and mechanical footprint. However, SNJ54AC374 adds military-grade screening, extended temperature range (−55°C to +125°C), and non-RoHS leaded finish-making it a drop-in replacement where environmental ruggedness is required.
