Product details
Overview
SNJ54ACT374FK from Texas Instruments is a military-grade octal D-type edge-triggered flip-flop with 3-state outputs, operating at 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply voltage, featuring 10 ns max propagation delay at 5 V, TTL-compatible inputs, and −55 °C to +125 °C operating temperature range. It serves as a high-drive buffer register or bidirectional bus driver in avionics data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the SNJ54ACT374FK datasheet, SNJ54ACT374FK pinout, SNJ54ACT374FK application, or SNJ54ACT374FK equivalent, this page delivers verified functional modes, timing constraints (tsu = 5.5 ns, th = 1.5 ns), output drive capability (±24 mA), and LCCC-20 package mechanical data for immediate layout and qualification use.
Technical Context
The SNJ54ACT374FK implements eight independent D-type latches triggered on the rising edge of CLK, with asynchronous 3-state control via OE. Its TTL-voltage-compatible inputs accept up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC, enabling mixed-voltage interfacing without level shifters.
Each output drives ±24 mA at VCC = 5 V, supports high-capacitance bus loads, and transitions to high-impedance when OE is high - preserving internal state during bus contention. The device maintains full functionality across −55 °C to +125 °C with no derating required.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - supports wide-tolerance military power rails without regulation overhead |
| Max Propagation Delay | 10 ns at 5 V - enables reliable operation up to 90 MHz clock frequency in synchronous data paths |
| Output Drive | ±24 mA per output - sufficient to drive 50-pF bus loads with <12 ns tPLH/tPHL under load |
| Input Compatibility | TTL-voltage compatible - interfaces directly with legacy 5-V TTL logic without external biasing |
| Operating Temperature | −55 °C to +125 °C - qualified for extended-range military and aerospace environments |
| Setup/Hold Times | tsu = 5.5 ns, th = 1.5 ns at 5 V - defines minimum data stability window before/after CLK↑ for deterministic capture |
| Power Dissipation | Cpd = 40 pF - enables accurate dynamic power estimation at 1 MHz switching frequency |
Pinout & Package
LCCC (Leadless Ceramic Chip Carrier) package, 20-terminal, hermetically sealed ceramic body with 1.27 mm pitch, 8.89 mm × 8.89 mm footprint, and 2.03 mm max height - designed for high-reliability, high-temperature PCB mounting with zero lead inductance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OE) | Output Enable input | Active-low control: drives all Q outputs to high-impedance when high; no effect on internal latch state |
| 2–9, 12, 15–16, 19 (Q1–Q8) | 3-state output terminals | Provide buffered, latched data with ±24 mA drive or Hi-Z bus isolation - critical for shared-data-bus arbitration |
| 3–4, 7–8, 13–14, 17–18 (D1–D8) | Data input terminals | Accept TTL-level signals up to 5.5 V; sampled synchronously on CLK↑ rising edge |
| 11 (CLK) | Clock input | Rising-edge-triggered; meets 5 ns min pulse width requirement for reliable state capture |
| 10 (GND) | Ground reference | Primary return path for all I/O and internal logic; requires low-inductance connection to minimize ground bounce |
| 20 (VCC) | Power supply | Supplies core logic and output drivers; decoupling capacitor mandatory within 5 mm of pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Edge-triggered D flip-flops | Eight independent registers synchronized to CLK↑ - eliminates metastability risk in multi-bit parallel transfers |
| 3-state output control | OE pin places outputs in Hi-Z without affecting stored data - enables hot-swap bus arbitration and multi-master sharing |
| TTL-compatible inputs | VIH = 2 V, VIL = 0.8 V at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V - ensures interoperability with legacy 5-V TTL families without level translation |
| High-output drive strength | ±24 mA per output at 5 V - reduces need for external bus buffers in high-capacitance backplane applications |
| Military temperature range | Qualified from −55 °C to +125 °C - meets MIL-PRF-38535 requirements for avionics and defense electronics |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN54ACT374J | Same logic function and military temp range, but CDIP-20 package with through-hole leads and higher thermal resistance (RθJA = 69 °C/W vs. FK's 70 °C/W) | Preferred for prototyping or legacy through-hole PCBs; less suitable for high-density surface-mount layouts | Select SN54ACT374J only if board design mandates through-hole assembly or requires easier manual rework. |
| SN54ACT374W | Same logic and temp rating, but CFP-20 ceramic flatpack with gull-wing leads and RθJA = 60 °C/W - slightly better thermal performance than FK | Better suited for conduction-cooled chassis where heat sinking to metal enclosure is required | Choose SN54ACT374W when thermal management via case mounting is prioritized over hermetic sealing. |
Compared with SNJ54ACT374FK, SN54ACT374J offers easier hand-soldering but larger board area, while SN54ACT374W provides marginally lower junction-to-ambient resistance but lacks the LCCC's zero-lead inductance advantage for ultra-fast edge integrity.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by SNJ54ACT374FK?
The SNJ54ACT374FK supports a maximum clock frequency of 90 MHz under recommended operating conditions (VCC = 5 V, TA = −55 °C to +125 °C). This is derived from its guaranteed 5 ns minimum clock pulse width and 10 ns max propagation delay, ensuring reliable edge-triggered operation in high-speed synchronous systems. The SNJ54ACT374FK datasheet specifies fmax = 90 MHz for the SN54ACT374 variant.
Does SNJ54ACT374FK require external pull-up resistors on the OE pin?
Yes - to ensure defined high-impedance state during power-up or power-down, OE must be tied to VCC through a pullup resistor. The minimum resistance value depends on the current-sinking capability of the driving source; TI recommends verifying against the driver's IOL specification. This requirement applies specifically to the SNJ54ACT374FK to prevent bus contention at power transition.
Can SNJ54ACT374FK interface directly with 3.3-V logic inputs?
No - SNJ54ACT374FK inputs are TTL-compatible (VIL = 0.8 V, VIH = 2.0 V), not 3.3-V CMOS-compatible. While a 3.3-V logic high may exceed VIH, its low output voltage (typically ~0.4 V) falls below the 0.8 V VIL threshold, risking unreliable recognition. Level-shifting circuitry is required for robust 3.3-V to SNJ54ACT374FK interfacing.
What is the thermal resistance (RθJA) of the SNJ54ACT374FK LCCC package?
The SNJ54ACT374FK in LCCC (FK) package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 70 °C/W, as specified in the TI datasheet SCAS539H. This value assumes standard JEDEC test conditions and is critical for calculating worst-case junction temperature in high-power-density military PCB layouts where forced airflow is unavailable.
Is SNJ54ACT374FK RoHS-compliant?
No - SNJ54ACT374FK uses SnPb (tin-lead) lead finish and is explicitly marked "No" for RoHS compliance in TI's packaging addendum. It is intended for military and aerospace applications where exemption from RoHS directives applies. For RoHS-compliant alternatives, consider commercial-grade SN74ACT374 variants in SSOP or TSSOP packages.
