Product details
Overview
SNJ54BCT374FK from Texas Instruments is a military-grade octal edge-triggered D-type latch with 3-state outputs, operating at 4.5 V–5.5 V supply, featuring rising-edge clock triggering, active-low output enable, and bipolar push-pull drive capable of sourcing 96 mA (low state) and sinking 50 mA (high-impedance off-state). It serves as a bus interface register in high-reliability aerospace and defense digital systems.
For engineers reviewing the SNJ54BCT374FK datasheet, SNJ54BCT374FK pinout, SNJ54BCT374FK application, or SNJ54BCT374FK equivalent, key selection considerations include its –55°C to +125°C operating range, LCCC-20 hermetic package, BiCMOS low-ICCZ quiescent current (5–8 mA), and guaranteed 70 MHz maximum clock frequency under military temperature conditions.
Technical Context
This device implements eight independent D-type latches sharing one rising-edge-sensitive CLK and one active-low OE control signal. Its BiCMOS architecture combines CMOS input stages with bipolar output transistors, enabling TTL-compatible logic levels while reducing ICCZ versus standard TTL.
The latch operates in three functional modes: transparent data capture on CLK↑ (OE = L), hold mode (OE = L, CLK stable), and high-impedance tri-state output (OE = H). Output drive strength (VOL = 0.38–0.55 V at IOL = 48–64 mA) and fast switching (tPLH/tPHL ≤ 11.6 ns) support direct bus driving without external pull-ups or buffers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures compatibility with 5 V TTL/CMOS systems and margin for voltage droop in ruggedized power rails |
| Operating Temperature | –55°C to +125°C - qualified for extended-range military and aerospace applications per SN54BCT374 specification |
| Max Clock Frequency | 70 MHz - supports high-speed data latching in real-time avionics and radar timing subsystems |
| Output Drive (IOL) | 96 mA - enables direct drive of heavy capacitive loads (≤50 pF) or multiple TTL inputs without buffering |
| Quiescent Current (ICCZ) | 5–8 mA - BiCMOS design reduces standby power vs. legacy TTL, critical for thermally constrained platforms |
| Propagation Delay | tPLH/tPHL ≤ 11.6 ns - guarantees deterministic timing margins in synchronous bus arbitration logic |
| Input Clamp Current | –18 mA - protects against transient overvoltage events common in harsh EMI environments |
Pinout & Package
LCCC-20 (Leadless Ceramic Chip Carrier) package: 8.89 mm × 8.89 mm ceramic body with solderable metallized perimeter terminals; hermetically sealed for moisture resistance and long-term reliability in space and defense applications.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OE) | Active-low output enable | Tri-states all eight Q outputs simultaneously; does not affect internal latch state - enables shared bus arbitration |
| 2–9, 12–19 (1Q–8Q, 1D–8D) | Output / Data input | Eight independent D/Q channels; each D input samples on CLK↑; Q outputs reflect latched value or high-Z when OE = H |
| 10 (GND) | Ground reference | Primary return path for output sink current and internal logic; requires low-inductance connection to minimize ground bounce |
| 11 (CLK) | Rising-edge clock | Edge-triggered sampling node; data setup/hold times (tsu = 6.5 ns, th = 0 ns) define minimum pulse width and timing window |
| 20 (VCC) | Positive supply | 5 V nominal power rail; requires local 0.1 µF bypass capacitor adjacent to pin to suppress high-frequency switching noise |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| BiCMOS process technology | Reduces ICCZ to 5–8 mA - cuts standby power by >50% vs. equivalent TTL latches, easing thermal management in sealed enclosures |
| 3-state outputs with buffered OE | Enables bidirectional bus sharing across multiple SNJ54BCT374FK devices without external bus transceivers or direction control logic |
| Bipolar push-pull output stage | Delivers 96 mA sink current - drives up to 10 standard TTL loads directly, eliminating need for discrete buffer stages in I/O port designs |
| CMOS-compatible inputs | Supports VIH ≥ 2 V and VIL ≤ 0.8 V - interoperates with both 5 V CMOS and TTL logic families without level-shifting circuitry |
| Hermetic LCCC-20 packaging | Provides MIL-STD-883 Class B qualification - ensures long-term reliability in vacuum, high-humidity, and radiation-prone environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal latch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SNJ54ACT374FK | Advanced CMOS (ACT) process; lower ICCZ (2–5 mA), higher speed (tPLH ≤ 8.5 ns), but reduced output drive (24 mA) | Better for low-power, high-speed logic in non-bus-driving roles; unsuitable for direct TTL load driving | Select when power efficiency and speed outweigh drive strength requirements |
| SNJ54LS374J | TTL process; higher ICCZ (30–45 mA), slower (tPLH ≤ 25 ns), same 96 mA output drive, CDIP-20 package | Legacy drop-in replacement where LCCC hermeticity is not required and board space allows larger package | Select only for backward compatibility in existing CDIP-based designs with no thermal or size constraints |
Compared with SNJ54ACT374FK and SNJ54LS374J, SNJ54BCT374FK uniquely balances military-grade temperature range, hermetic reliability, strong bus-driving capability (96 mA), and moderate quiescent power (5–8 mA) - making it the sole choice for new high-integrity bus interface designs requiring all four attributes.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by SNJ54BCT374FK across its full temperature range?
The SNJ54BCT374FK supports a guaranteed maximum clock frequency of 70 MHz over its full operating range of –55°C to +125°C, as specified in Section 6.6 of the official TI datasheet (SCBS019D). This rating applies to the SN54BCT374 variant and is validated under recommended supply (4.5 V–5.5 V) and load (CL = 50 pF) conditions.
Does SNJ54BCT374FK require external pull-up resistors on its 3-state outputs?
No, SNJ54BCT374FK does not require external pull-up resistors on its 3-state outputs. Its bipolar push-pull outputs actively drive both logic high and low states when enabled (OE = L); the high-impedance state (OE = H) presents minimal leakage (±50 μA), eliminating bus contention without passive termination.
Can unused input pins on SNJ54BCT374FK be left floating?
No, unused input pins on SNJ54BCT374FK must not be left floating. Per TI's design guidelines (Section 8.3.2 and Layout Example Fig 11-1), all unused CMOS inputs must be tied to VCC or GND to prevent oscillation, excessive power consumption, and undefined logic states - especially critical in high-noise military environments.
What is the absolute maximum output current rating for SNJ54BCT374FK?
The absolute maximum output current for SNJ54BCT374FK is ±225 mA (IOS), as stated in Section 6.5 of the datasheet. However, the recommended operating condition limits continuous output current to 96 mA (IOL) in the low state and –50 mA (IOH) in the high state to maintain electrical integrity and thermal safety within the LCCC-20 package.
Is SNJ54BCT374FK compatible with 3.3 V logic interfaces?
SNJ54BCT374FK is not 3.3 V logic compatible. It is strictly a 5 V device with VIH(min) = 2.0 V and VIL(max) = 0.8 V, requiring 5 V-tolerant inputs. Direct connection to 3.3 V logic may result in marginal or failed logic-level recognition; level-shifting circuitry is required for interoperability with 3.3 V systems.
