Product details
Overview
SNJ54F374J from Texas Instruments is a military-grade octal D-type flip-flop with 3-state bus-driver outputs, edge-triggered clocking (CLK↑), buffered output enable (OE), and full parallel data loading. It operates across −55°C to 125°C, delivers 40 mA low-state output drive, and supports up to 100 MHz clock frequency - ideal for high-reliability I/O port buffering in avionics and defense computing systems.
For engineers reviewing the SNJ54F374J datasheet, SNJ54F374J pinout, SNJ54F374J application, or SNJ54F374J equivalent, this page provides verified functional specifications, military-temperature performance data, CDIP-20 package details, and validated drop-in alternatives for legacy system sustainment and redesign.
Technical Context
The SNJ54F374J implements eight independent positive-edge-triggered D flip-flops with synchronous parallel load and asynchronous 3-state control via OE. Its internal logic retains stored data regardless of OE state, enabling seamless data latching while outputs float.
Designed for direct bus interfacing, it features high-current CMOS-compatible outputs (IOH = −3 mA, IOL = 40 mA), low propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL ≤ 8.5 ns at VCC = 5 V), and robust noise immunity with VIH = 2 V and VIL = 0.8 V under military temperature extremes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Function | Octal D-type flip-flop with 3-state outputs and edge-triggered clock |
| Operating Temperature | −55°C to 125°C - qualified for full military environmental stress screening |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - compatible with standard 5 V TTL/CMOS systems |
| Max Clock Frequency | 100 MHz - enables high-speed register staging in real-time control subsystems |
| Output Drive | 40 mA sink per Q output - sufficient to drive 50 Ω transmission lines or multiple TTL loads |
| Propagation Delay | tPLH/tPHL ≤ 8.5 ns (VCC = 5 V, CL = 50 pF) - ensures timing margin in synchronous backplane designs |
| Enable Propagation | tPZL ≤ 5.5 ns, tPHZ ≤ 7 ns - fast bus turnaround for time-critical bidirectional data arbitration |
Pinout & Package
Ceramic Dual-In-Line Package (CDIP), 20-pin, through-hole mounting. Hermetically sealed ceramic body with tin-lead (SNPB) leads, rated for extended thermal cycling and high-reliability mil-aero applications.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 | Data Inputs (D1–D8) | Parallel asynchronous data inputs synchronized on CLK↑ edge |
| 9 | GND | Signal ground reference for all logic and output stages |
| 10 | CLK | Positive-edge clock input controlling simultaneous latch of all eight D inputs |
| 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 | Q Outputs (Q1–Q8) | True 3-state outputs enabled by OE; high-impedance when OE = H |
| 19 | OE | Active-low output enable - controls bus contention without affecting internal flip-flop state |
| 20 | VCC | +5 V power supply - decoupling required per MIL-STD-883 method 3011 |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Edge-triggered latching | Single-cycle capture of all eight D inputs on CLK rising edge - eliminates metastability in multi-bit transfers |
| Independent OE control | OE does not affect internal flip-flop operation - allows data retention during bus release |
| High-drive 3-state outputs | 40 mA sink capability per output - drives terminated buses without external buffers |
| Military temperature qualification | Tested and screened per MIL-PRF-38535 Class B - suitable for flight-critical and ground-support systems |
| Buffered control inputs | CLK and OE inputs include Schmitt-trigger-like hysteresis - improves noise rejection in noisy EMI environments |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| JM38510/34105BRA | Identical electrical specs, same CDIP-20 package, but manufactured under JANTXV screening per MIL-PRF-38535 Class V | Higher reliability screening level (burn-in, lot acceptance tests) required for spaceflight avionics | Select JM38510/34105BRA when mission-critical radiation hardness and zero-defect history are mandated |
| SN54F374J | Same die, identical pinout and timing, but commercial-grade marking and non-military traceability documentation | Approved only for ground-test and non-flight hardware due to relaxed quality assurance protocols | Choose SN54F374J for cost-sensitive lab validation where full QML-38535 certification is unnecessary |
Compared with SNJ54F374J, JM38510/34105BRA adds Class V screening for space-grade reliability, while SN54F374J omits military traceability - making SNJ54F374J the balanced choice for defense-grade systems requiring certified performance without Class V overhead.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by SNJ54F374J?
The SNJ54F374J supports a maximum clock frequency of 100 MHz under recommended operating conditions (VCC = 4.5 V to 5.5 V, TA = −55°C to 125°C). This value is confirmed in the timing requirements table of the SDFS077A datasheet and reflects guaranteed performance across the full military temperature range - critical for real-time avionics timing budgets.
Does SNJ54F374J have true 3-state outputs?
Yes, SNJ54F374J features true 3-state outputs controlled by the active-low OE input. When OE is high, all eight Q outputs enter high-impedance mode with leakage current ≤ ±50 µA (IOZH/IOZL), isolating the device from the bus without loading or driving signals - essential for bidirectional bus arbitration in MIL-STD-1553B and similar architectures.
What package type is used for SNJ54F374J?
SNJ54F374J uses a 20-pin Ceramic Dual-In-Line Package (CDIP-J), hermetically sealed with tin-lead (SNPB) leads. This package meets MIL-STD-883 requirements for moisture resistance, thermal cycling, and mechanical robustness - validated in TI's Package Option Addendum with part marking "5962-9759001QRA" and tube packaging (20 units per tube).
How does SNJ54F374J differ from SN74F374 in terms of temperature range?
SNJ54F374J is characterized for operation from −55°C to 125°C, meeting full military temperature specifications, whereas SN74F374 is rated only from 0°C to 70°C for commercial use. This extended range is achieved through tighter process controls, enhanced screening, and qualified materials - making SNJ54F374J suitable for airborne, ground-mobile, and space-qualified platforms where ambient extremes are unavoidable.
Can SNJ54F374J retain data while outputs are in high-impedance state?
Yes, SNJ54F374J retains internal flip-flop state regardless of OE logic level. The output enable input affects only the output drivers - not the latch core - allowing new data to be loaded or existing data held while the bus remains isolated. This behavior is explicitly documented in the functional description: "The output enable (OE) input does not affect internal operations of the flip-flop."
