Product details
Overview
SNJ54AHCT574W from Texas Instruments is a military-grade octal edge-triggered D-type flip-flop with 3-state outputs, designed for bus interface and data latching in high-reliability systems. It operates from –55°C to 125°C, supports 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply, features TTL-compatible inputs (VIL = 0.8 V, VIH = 2 V), and delivers ±8 mA output drive at 5 V.
For engineers reviewing the SNJ54AHCT574W datasheet, SNJ54AHCT574W pinout, SNJ54AHCT574W application, or SNJ54AHCT574W equivalent, this page provides verified functional mode behavior, timing constraints (tsu = 3.5 ns, th = 1.5 ns), 3-state enable control logic, and military-qualified thermal and ESD performance per MIL-PRF-38535.
Technical Context
The SNJ54AHCT574W implements eight independent D-type latches synchronized to the rising edge of CLK, with simultaneous 3-state control via active-low OE. Its CMOS architecture ensures low static current (ICC ≤ 40 µA) while maintaining TTL voltage compatibility at inputs and robust drive capability into capacitive loads.
Each latch channel supports bidirectional bus isolation: when OE is high, all Q outputs enter high-impedance state regardless of CLK or D states; when OE is low, Q follows D on CLK↑. The device meets JESD 17 latch-up immunity (>250 mA) and exceeds JESD 22 ESD ratings (±2000 V HBM, ±1000 V CDM).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - Ensures stable operation across military-grade power rails with ±10% tolerance. |
| Operating Temperature | –55°C to +125°C - Qualified per MIL-PRF-38535 for extended environmental stress in avionics and defense systems. |
| Input Thresholds | VIL = 0.8 V, VIH = 2.0 V - Enables direct interfacing with legacy TTL logic without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Output Drive | ±8 mA at VCC = 5 V - Sufficient to drive 50-pF loads with controlled edge rates (Δt/Δv = 20 ns/V) minimizing ringing. |
| Propagation Delay | tPLH/tPHL = 5.5 ns (CL = 15 pF) - Supports 110 MHz maximum clock frequency in high-speed data capture applications. |
| Setup/Hold Time | tsu = 3.5 ns, th = 1.5 ns - Enables reliable sampling of fast-changing parallel data buses with minimal timing margin overhead. |
| ESD Protection | ±2000 V HBM, ±1000 V CDM - Meets stringent handling requirements for assembly in controlled and uncontrolled environments. |
Pinout & Package
SNJ54AHCT574W uses a 20-pin Ceramic Flatpack (CFP, W package) with 0.6-inch body width and 0.1-inch lead pitch. The package is hermetically sealed, rated for military temperature range, and compatible with wave soldering and reflow processes per MIL-STD-202.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OE (Active-Low) | Global 3-state enable: high = all Q outputs high-Z; low = Q follows D on CLK↑. |
| 2–9 | 1D–8D | Eight asynchronous data inputs; each directly controls corresponding latch input. |
| 10 | GND | Power return reference for all internal logic and output drivers. |
| 11 | CLK | Edge-sensitive clock input; rising edge transfers D to Q and enables output drive if OE is low. |
| 12–19 | 8Q–1Q | Eight buffered, 3-state outputs; order reversed top-to-bottom in pinout diagram for PCB layout optimization. |
| 20 | VCC | Positive supply rail; requires local 0.1 µF bypass capacitor per TI layout guidelines. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| TTL-voltage compatible inputs | Enables direct connection to 3.3 V or 5 V TTL sources without external level shifters or pull-ups. |
| 3-state outputs with common OE | Allows shared bus arbitration across multiple devices; eliminates contention risk when OE is deasserted. |
| Controlled output edge rate | Δt/Δv = 20 ns/V reduces overshoot/undershoot on long traces or unterminated lines in backplane designs. |
| MIL-PRF-38535 compliance | All parameters tested unless noted; includes full screening for radiation hardness, burn-in, and temperature cycling. |
| Latch-up immunity >250 mA | Guarantees fault tolerance under transient overvoltage or ground bounce events in high-noise platforms. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal D-latch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74AHCT574DW | Commercial-grade SOIC-20; rated only to –40°C to +125°C; no MIL-PRF-38535 testing. | Suitable for non-military industrial use where cost and RoHS compliance are prioritized over extended temperature or screening. | Select SN74AHCT574DW only if full military qualification, hermetic sealing, and –55°C operation are not required. |
| SNJ54ACT574W | ACT family variant: higher speed (tPD ≈ 4.5 ns), but reduced noise margin (VIH = 2.0 V, VIL = 0.5 V); same CFP package. | Better suited for high-frequency synchronous buses where timing margin is critical and input noise immunity is managed externally. | Choose SNJ54ACT574W only when propagation delay <5 ns is mandatory and input signal integrity is guaranteed. |
Compared with SN74AHCT574DW and SNJ54ACT574W, the SNJ54AHCT574W uniquely combines military temperature range, full MIL-PRF-38535 screening, and TTL-compatible thresholds-making it irreplaceable in avionics and defense systems where reliability under extreme conditions is non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the SNJ54AHCT574W?
The SNJ54AHCT574W is qualified for continuous operation from –55°C to +125°C per MIL-PRF-38535 specifications. This range is fully tested and guaranteed, including parametric validation at both extremes and thermal cycling over 1000 cycles. The SNJ54AHCT574W maintains specified timing, drive strength, and logic thresholds across this entire span without derating.
Does the SNJ54AHCT574W require external pull-up resistors on its outputs?
No, the SNJ54AHCT574W does not require external pull-up resistors on its outputs. Its 3-state outputs are actively driven high or low when enabled (OE low), and present high impedance (not floating) when disabled (OE high). Pull-ups are unnecessary unless interfacing with open-drain systems-a configuration not supported by the SNJ54AHCT574W's totem-pole output architecture.
How does the SNJ54AHCT574W handle input voltages above VCC?
The SNJ54AHCT574W inputs are overvoltage tolerant up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC value within the 4.5 V–5.5 V range. This allows safe interfacing with 5 V TTL sources even when VCC is nominally 4.5 V, and prevents damage from transient overshoot. The specification is validated per absolute maximum ratings and confirmed in Section 5.1 of the official datasheet.
Is the SNJ54AHCT574W pin-compatible with commercial SN74AHCT574 variants?
No, the SNJ54AHCT574W is not pin-compatible with commercial SN74AHCT574 variants. While both use 20-pin packages, the SNJ54AHCT574W employs a ceramic flatpack (W package) with 0.1-inch lead pitch and 0.6-inch body width, whereas commercial versions use SOIC (DW), SSOP (DB), or TSSOP (PW) packages with different dimensions, lead forms, and thermal characteristics. PCB layout must be dedicated to the W package.
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the SNJ54AHCT574W?
The SNJ54AHCT574W supports a maximum clock frequency of 110 MHz under recommended conditions (VCC = 5 V, TA = –55°C to +125°C, CL = 50 pF), derived from its maximum propagation delay (tPD) of 75 ns. At lighter loads (CL = 15 pF), fMAX increases to 130 MHz. These values are measured and guaranteed per Section 5.7 of the SCLS245N datasheet.
