Product details
Overview
SNJ54ALS74AW from Texas Instruments is a military-grade dual positive-edge-triggered D-type flip-flop IC, operating across −55°C to 125°C, with 25 MHz maximum clock frequency (CL = 50 pF), 6 mW typical power dissipation per flip-flop, and TTL-compatible input/output levels. It implements synchronous data storage in high-reliability control logic, timing synchronization, and register file applications within avionics and defense systems.
For engineers reviewing the SNJ54ALS74AW datasheet, SNJ54ALS74AW pinout, SNJ54ALS74AW application, or SNJ54ALS74AW equivalent, this page delivers verified military-spec timing behavior, absolute maximum ratings, switching characteristics under full temperature range, and CFP package mechanical data - all confirmed from TI's SDAS143C datasheet and Package Option Addendum.
Technical Context
The SNJ54ALS74AW integrates two independent D-type flip-flops with asynchronous preset (PRE) and clear (CLR) inputs active-low. Clock triggering occurs at a defined voltage threshold, not dependent on CLK rise time, enabling robust edge detection in noisy environments. Each flip-flop supports independent data latching on the positive-going clock edge when PRE and CLR are high.
It features non-inverting Q and inverting Q outputs per stage, with guaranteed setup time (10 ns) and hold time (2 ns) for D relative to CLK↑ under −55°C to 125°C operation. Propagation delays (tPLH/tPHL) range from 5–23 ns depending on signal path and load, validated at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V and CL = 50 pF.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Family | Advanced Low-Power Schottky (ALS), compatible with standard TTL voltage thresholds and drive strength. |
| Max Clock Frequency | 25 MHz at CL = 50 pF - defines maximum synchronous data rate in register chains or state machines. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures stable operation across military-grade power rail tolerances. |
| Operating Temperature | −55°C to 125°C - qualified per MIL-PRF-38535 for use in harsh-environment embedded control. |
| Power Dissipation | 6 mW per flip-flop (typical) - enables low-thermal-load digital logic in sealed or conduction-cooled modules. |
| Output Drive | IOL = 4 mA / IOH = −0.4 mA - sufficient to drive multiple TTL inputs or small capacitive loads without buffering. |
| Propagation Delay | tPLH/tPHL ≤ 23 ns (CLK→Q) - determines worst-case timing margin in critical path analysis. |
Pinout & Package
SNJ54ALS74AW uses a 14-pin Ceramic Flatpack (CFP, package code W), hermetically sealed, with 0.050″ lead pitch and 0.300″ body width. Pin 1 identifier is marked via notch or bevel on the package short edge.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1CLR | Asynchronous active-low clear for first flip-flop - forces 1Q = L, 1Q = H regardless of clock or data. |
| 2 | 1D | Data input for first flip-flop - sampled on rising CLK edge if PRE/CLR inactive. |
| 3 | 1CLK | Clock input for first flip-flop - positive-edge-triggered; voltage-threshold-based, not slew-rate dependent. |
| 4 | 1PRE | Asynchronous active-low preset for first flip-flop - forces 1Q = H, 1Q = L regardless of clock or data. |
| 5 | 1Q | True output of first flip-flop - non-inverting, TTL-compatible VOH/VOL levels. |
| 6 | 1Q | Inverted output of first flip-flop - complementary to 1Q, usable for feedback or differential signaling. |
| 7 | GND | Ground reference - must be low-impedance return for both logic and supply current paths. |
| 8 | VCC | +5 V supply - decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF ceramic) required adjacent to pin for noise immunity. |
| 9 | 2CLR | Asynchronous active-low clear for second flip-flop - independent control from first stage. |
| 10 | 2D | Data input for second flip-flop - electrically isolated but shares same VCC/GND rails. |
| 11 | 2CLK | Clock input for second flip-flop - may be driven from same or separate clock source as 1CLK. |
| 12 | 2PRE | Asynchronous active-low preset for second flip-flop - enables independent initialization. |
| 13 | 2Q | True output of second flip-flop - identical electrical specs to 1Q; supports parallel register expansion. |
| 14 | 2Q | Inverted output of second flip-flop - provides logical complement without external inversion. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide Temperature Operation | −55°C to 125°C performance guaranteed - eliminates derating calculations for aerospace thermal cycling. |
| Asynchronous Control | Dedicated PRE/CLR per flip-flop - enables immediate state reset or set without waiting for clock edge. |
| TTL-Compatible I/O | VIH = 2.0 V, VIL = 0.8 V, VOL = 0.4 V @ IOL = 4 mA - interoperable with legacy 74-series and microcontroller GPIOs. |
| Low Power ALS Technology | 6 mW per flip-flop (typical) - reduces board-level heat density vs. standard AS or LS families. |
| Hermetic CFP Packaging | Ceramic Flatpack (W) with glass-sealed lid - meets MIL-STD-883 requirements for moisture resistance and long-term reliability. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual D-type flip-flop applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SNJ54AS74AJ | Higher speed: 90 MHz max clock (vs. 25 MHz); higher ICC (10.5 mA typ); AS family propagation delays ~2–10 ns. | Used where throughput >3× ALS is required, but power and noise sensitivity are secondary concerns. | Select SNJ54AS74AJ only when timing budget demands <10 ns CLK→Q delay and system can accommodate +175% power draw. |
| SN54ALS74AJ | Same ALS technology and timing, but in ceramic DIP (J) package instead of CFP (W); identical electrical specs and temp range. | Preferred for through-hole prototyping or legacy board rework where CFP footprint is unavailable. | Choose SN54ALS74AJ for hand-soldered test fixtures or upgrades to existing J-package designs - no logic redesign needed. |
Compared with SNJ54AS74AJ, SNJ54ALS74AW trades speed for lower power and better noise immunity; compared with SN54ALS74AJ, it offers superior high-frequency stability and hermeticity via CFP packaging - critical for vibration-prone or high-humidity deployments.

No, SNJ54ALS74AW is not RoHS compliant. Its lead finish is specified as SNPB (tin-lead), and the RoHS column in TI's official Package Option Addendum lists "No" for this part number. It is intended for military and aerospace applications where exemption from RoHS restrictions applies per JEDEC J-STD-609 Category 4.
What package type does SNJ54ALS74AW use?
