Product details
Overview
SNJ54F74FK from Texas Instruments is a dual positive-edge-triggered D-type flip-flop with independent preset and clear inputs, designed for high-reliability military logic systems. It operates across –55°C to 125°C, supports 100 MHz clock frequency, features 3 ns propagation delay (tPLH), and uses TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIL = 0.8 V, VIH = 2 V) in a 20-pin LCCC package. It is used in synchronous control circuits requiring deterministic state capture under extreme environmental conditions.
For engineers reviewing the SNJ54F74FK datasheet, SNJ54F74FK pinout, SNJ54F74FK application, or SNJ54F74FK equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, military-grade thermal performance data, LCCC package mechanical details, functional timing behavior, and validated drop-in alternatives for aerospace and defense digital subsystems.
Technical Context
The SNJ54F74FK implements two independent edge-triggered D latches synchronized to the rising edge of CLK, with asynchronous PRE and CLR inputs overriding clocked operation. Its TTL-compatible input structure ensures compatibility with legacy 5-V logic families, while its guaranteed 100 MHz maximum clock frequency (at VCC = 5 V, TA = 25°C) and sub-7 ns worst-case propagation delay support high-speed synchronous design.
It employs bipolar F-type (fast TTL) process technology, delivering IOL = 20 mA output drive and IIL = –1.8 mA input sink capability on PRE/CLR pins. The device is characterized over full military temperature range and meets MIL-PRF-38535 Class B requirements, with no internal connections on pins 2, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13 per FK-package top view.

Applications
| Avionics Data Synchronization | Radar Pulse Timing Control |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Capturing and aligning asynchronous sensor data streams (e.g., inertial measurement unit outputs) into a deterministic time base before feeding to a central processor. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual D-flip-flop acts as a synchronous interface bridge, eliminating metastability risk via double-sampling and providing independent reset for each channel. Use Value: Guarantees clean, glitch-free registration of critical navigation data even during rapid thermal transients encountered in high-G maneuvers. | Use Scenario: Generating precisely timed enable pulses for RF transmit/receive switching in pulsed Doppler radar systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Flip-flop stores pulse width and repetition interval commands from a master controller, then triggers high-voltage switches on exact clock edges. Use Value: Achieves <10 ns jitter between pulse edges, directly improving range resolution and clutter rejection performance. |
| Missile Guidance Logic Sequencing | Secure Communication Frame Alignment |
Use Scenario: Implementing finite-state machine transitions for stage separation, ignition sequencing, and payload deployment in solid-fuel launch vehicles. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides hardened, radiation-tolerant state storage with fail-safe preset/clear to enforce safe default states during power-up or fault conditions.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SNJ54LS74FK | Lower power (ICC ≈ 8 mA vs. 16 mA), slower speed (fmax = 30 MHz), same LCCC-20 package and pinout | Better suited for battery-constrained platforms where timing slack exists; unsuitable for >40 MHz clock domains | Select when power efficiency outweighs speed; verify timing closure with reduced fmax and increased tsu/th |
| 5962-9759201QCA | Same SN54F74 functionality but in CDIP-14 (J) package; different footprint, thermal profile, and moisture sensitivity | Preferred for through-hole prototyping or legacy board rework where LCCC reflow is unavailable | Choose only if LCCC assembly infrastructure is absent; expect ~20% higher propagation delay due to package parasitics |
Compared with SNJ54F74FK, SNJ54LS74FK trades speed for lower power consumption in identical packaging, while 5962-9759201QCA retains full electrical equivalence but requires PCB layout change due to CDIP-14 form factor and thermal management differences.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by SNJ54F74FK?
The SNJ54F74FK supports a maximum clock frequency of 100 MHz at VCC = 5 V and TA = 25°C per the SDFS046A datasheet. At full military temperature extremes (–55°C or 125°C), the guaranteed maximum operating frequency reduces to 80 MHz. This specification is measured under defined load conditions (CL = 50 pF, RL = 500 Ω) and must be validated in-system with actual board parasitics. SNJ54F74FK maintains timing integrity without requiring external clock conditioning.
Does SNJ54F74FK have pin-compatible alternatives in different packages?
Yes - SNJ54F74FK shares identical logic functionality and pin assignments for active signals with SNJ54F74J (CDIP-14) and SNJ54F74W (CFP-14), though mechanical pinout differs due to package geometry. The LCCC-20 (FK) variant has NC pins at positions 2, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13, while CDIP-14 maps all 14 signals directly. No true pin-to-pin drop-in replacement exists across packages; redesign is required for migration. SNJ54F74FK remains the only 20-pin LCCC option in the SN54F74 family.
What are the absolute maximum ratings for SNJ54F74FK supply voltage and input voltage?
The absolute maximum supply voltage (VCC) for SNJ54F74FK is –0.5 V to 7 V, and the absolute maximum input voltage (VI) is –1.2 V to 7 V, as specified in the SDFS046A datasheet. Exceeding these limits risks permanent damage. Note that input current must be limited to –30 mA to 5 mA even if voltage stays within range. For reliable operation, VCC must be maintained between 4.5 V and 5.5 V, and input voltages should stay within VIL ≤ 0.8 V (low) and VIH ≥ 2 V (high) under recommended conditions. SNJ54F74FK tolerates brief overshoots per MIL-STD-883 test methods but not sustained violation.
How does the asynchronous preset/clear functionality work on SNJ54F74FK?
On SNJ54F74FK, the PRE and CLR inputs operate asynchronously: a low level on either forces immediate output transition - PRE = L sets Q = H and Q̅ = L; CLR = L resets Q = L and Q̅ = H - regardless of CLK or D state. Both inputs are active-low and override all synchronous behavior. When both PRE and CLR are high, the flip-flop enters normal edge-triggered mode. Simultaneous low on PRE and CLR produces undefined outputs (nonstable state), so designs must avoid this condition. This behavior is electrically verified across –55°C to 125°C for SNJ54F74FK.
Is SNJ54F74FK RoHS compliant?
No - SNJ54F74FK uses SnPb (tin-lead) lead finish and is explicitly marked "No" for RoHS compliance in TI's official packaging addendum. It is manufactured for military/aerospace applications where exemption from RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU Annex III applies. Alternate RoHS-compliant versions (e.g., SN74F74DR) exist but are commercial-grade (0°C to 70°C), not qualified for –55°C to 125°C operation. SNJ54F74FK requires Pb-based solder processes and is incompatible with lead-free reflow profiles.
