Product details
Overview
SNJ54AS873AJT from Texas Instruments is a dual 4-bit transparent D-type latch with 3-state bus-driver outputs, military-grade (−55°C to 125°C), 24-pin ceramic DIP (JT) package, VCC = 4.5–5.5 V, IOL = 48 mA per output, and tPHL(D→Q) = 7.5 ns (max at 70°C equivalent). It serves as a bidirectional bus interface in avionics data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the SNJ54AS873AJT datasheet, SNJ54AS873AJT pinout, SNJ54AS873AJT application, or SNJ54AS873AJT equivalent, key selection criteria include military temperature range compliance, 48 mA sink capability per output, 3-state bus-driving architecture, latch-enable timing (tw ≥ 5 ns), and ceramic DIP hermetic packaging for high-reliability signal routing.
Technical Context
This device implements two independent 4-bit latches with separate LE, CLR, and OE controls per section. Each latch operates in transparent mode when LE is high (Q follows D), latches on LE falling edge, clears asynchronously via low-active CLR, and enters high-impedance state when OE is high.
It uses bipolar AS (Advanced Schottky) logic technology, delivering faster switching than ALS variants: tPLH(D→Q) ≤ 12.5 ns, tPHL(LE→Q) ≤ 9 ns, and VOL ≤ 0.5 V at IOL = 48 mA - enabling direct TTL/LS bus driving without external buffers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - compatible with standard 5 V TTL/LS power rails and tolerant of supply ripple. |
| Operating Temp | −55°C to 125°C - qualified per MIL-STD-883 for aerospace and defense embedded control. |
| IOL per Output | 48 mA - drives up to 20 standard TTL loads directly; eliminates need for external line drivers. |
| tPHL (D→Q) | ≤ 7.5 ns - supports >100 MHz data capture in synchronous bus applications with tight setup/hold margins. |
| Output Type | 3-State (active-low OE) - enables bidirectional shared-bus operation with collision-free arbitration. |
| Logic Family | AS (Advanced Schottky) - lower propagation delay and higher drive strength than ALS or LS families. |
| Package | Ceramic DIP (JT), 24-pin - hermetically sealed, moisture-resistant, and suitable for high-vacuum or extended-life deployments. |
Pinout & Package
Ceramic Dual-In-Line Package (JT), 24-pin, hermetically sealed, 0.600-inch wide body, compliant with MIL-STD-1835 GDIP3-T24 and JEDEC MO-058 AA.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1CLR, 2CLR | Asynchronous clear input (active-low) | Forces respective Q1–Q4 outputs low regardless of LE or OE state; used for system reset synchronization. |
| 1OE, 2OE | Output enable (active-low) | Controls 3-state output driver enable/disable; essential for bus contention management in multiplexed architectures. |
| 1LE, 2LE | Latch-enable (active-high) | Enables transparency (Q follows D); latching occurs on falling edge - critical for clock-domain crossing in legacy bus designs. |
| 1D1–1D4, 2D1–2D4 | Data inputs | Four parallel data bits per latch section; accepts standard TTL-level signals (VIH ≥ 2 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V). |
| 1Q1–1Q4, 2Q1–2Q4 | 3-state buffered outputs | Drive bus lines directly; high-impedance when OE = high, low-impedance push-pull when enabled. |
| VCC, GND | Power supply terminals | Single 5 V supply; decoupling required at each VCC pin due to high transient current (ICC up to 129 mA during switching). |
| NC | No internal connection | Pins 3, 5, 12, 13, 25, 26 - unused; must remain unconnected to avoid parasitic coupling or mechanical stress. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent 4-bit latch sections | Enables simultaneous storage and isolation of two 4-bit data words - ideal for register file partitioning in flight control computers. |
| 3-state bus-driver outputs | Permits direct connection to shared data buses without external transceivers; OE-controlled directionality reduces PCB layer count. |
| Military temperature qualification | Validated across −55°C to 125°C per MIL-STD-883 Method 1010 - ensures reliability in jet engine-mounted sensor interfaces. |
| AS logic speed grade | Delivers tPHL(LE→Q) ≤ 9 ns and tPLH(D→Q) ≤ 12.5 ns - meets timing closure for 20 MHz synchronous bus cycles with margin. |
| High-current sinking capability | 48 mA per output sustains robust noise immunity in electrically noisy avionics bays - exceeds standard TTL fan-out requirements. |
Applications
| Avionics Data Bus Interface | Flight Control Register File |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual 4-bit latch with 3-state output applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SNJ54ALS873BJT | ALS family: slower (tPHL(D→Q) ≤ 17 ns), lower IOL (24 mA), lower ICC (≤31 mA) | Suitable for non-critical timing paths where power efficiency outweighs speed; not recommended for >5 MHz bus operation. | Select when thermal budget is constrained and full AS speed is unnecessary. |
| SNJ54AS873AFK | LCCC (FK) package: 28-pin ceramic chip carrier, same electrical specs, different pinout and footprint | Used where board space is limited and surface-mount assembly is preferred; requires re-layout due to incompatible pin mapping. | Choose for compact, high-density layouts requiring SMT compatibility and identical timing performance. |
Compared with SNJ54ALS873BJT, SNJ54AS873AJT delivers 2.3× faster propagation and double the drive strength - critical for deterministic bus arbitration. Against SNJ54AS873AFK, it offers identical logic performance but in through-hole JT format for manual repairability and vibration resistance in ruggedized chassis.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for SNJ54AS873AJT?
The SNJ54AS873AJT is characterized for operation from −55°C to 125°C per MIL-STD-883, making it suitable for deployment in jet engine compartments, satellite payload bays, and other extreme thermal environments. This rating is verified across all electrical parameters including propagation delay, output drive, and leakage current - no derating is required within this full range. The ceramic JT package contributes to thermal stability and long-term parameter retention.
Does SNJ54AS873AJT support true bidirectional bus operation?
Yes, SNJ54AS873AJT supports bidirectional bus operation via its dual independent 3-state outputs and separate OE controls. Each 4-bit section can be enabled or disabled independently, allowing one section to drive while the other receives - essential for half-duplex protocols like MIL-STD-1553B subsystem interfaces. The active-low OE inputs simplify integration with standard bus arbitration logic and eliminate need for external direction-control gates.
What is the minimum pulse width required on LE for reliable latching in SNJ54AS873AJT?
The minimum pulse width (tw) required on LE for reliable latching in SNJ54AS873AJT is 5 ns at the military temperature extremes. This specification ensures robust capture of data transitions even under worst-case voltage and temperature conditions. Designers must ensure that the LE signal remains high for ≥5 ns before the data-stable window ends; shorter pulses risk metastability or incomplete latching, especially in high-noise avionics harnesses.
Can SNJ54AS873AJT drive standard TTL loads directly?
Yes, SNJ54AS873AJT can drive up to 20 standard TTL loads directly, based on its guaranteed IOL = 48 mA per output and VOL ≤ 0.5 V at that current. Its AS-family output stage provides sufficient sink current to maintain valid logic LOW levels across typical backplane trace impedances and capacitive loads up to 50 pF. No series termination or buffer ICs are needed for point-to-point or short-bus configurations meeting these constraints.
Is SNJ54AS873AJT RoHS-compliant?
SNJ54AS873AJT is not RoHS-compliant in its original manufacturing configuration. As a legacy military-grade ceramic DIP (JT) device produced under MIL-STD-883, it contains leaded solder seals and lead-based finishes per historical defense specifications. TI classifies it as obsolete with no Pb-Free conversion plan (TBD in Package Option Addendum). For RoHS-compliant alternatives, consider modern SOIC-packaged equivalents - though none match its full military temperature and hermetic sealing performance.
