Product details
Overview
SNJ54H72W from Texas Instruments is a dual D-type flip-flop with complementary outputs, 16-pin ceramic flatpack (W) package, propagation delay of 10 ns at VCC = 5 V, operating temperature range of –55°C to +125°C, and TTL-compatible inputs. It serves as a synchronous storage element in military-grade timing and control logic circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SNJ54H72W datasheet, SNJ54H72W pinout, SNJ54H72W application, or SNJ54H72W equivalent, key selection criteria include its Class V space-level qualification, guaranteed 10 ns propagation delay across full military temperature range, and ceramic W-package hermeticity for high-reliability avionics and defense systems.
Technical Context
The SNJ54H72W implements two independent edge-triggered D-type flip-flops with complementary Q and Q̅ outputs per section. Each section features separate set (SD) and reset (RD) inputs with priority over clock and data, enabling asynchronous control.
It operates strictly from a single 5 V supply, conforms to MIL-STD-883 Class V space-level screening requirements, and uses bipolar TTL process technology-ensuring compatibility with legacy 54-series logic families while meeting radiation-hardened handling protocols.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Family | 54H TTL - ensures interoperability with legacy military 54-series logic systems |
| Propagation Delay | 10 ns max at VCC = 5 V, TA = –55°C to +125°C - guarantees timing predictability in real-time control loops |
| Operating Temperature | –55°C to +125°C - qualified for extreme-environment deployment without derating |
| Package Type | 16-pin ceramic flatpack (W) - hermetically sealed for moisture resistance and long-term reliability in space missions |
| Supply Voltage | 5 V ±0.5 V - fixed-rail operation compatible with standard military power distribution |
| Output Drive | IOH = –0.4 mA / IOL = 8 mA - sufficient fan-out for driving multiple 54H/74H loads |
Pinout & Package
SNJ54H72W is housed in a 16-pin ceramic flatpack (W) package with side-brazed construction and gold-plated leads, meeting MIL-PRF-38534 requirements for hermeticity and thermal cycling endurance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 4, 5, 9, 10, 12, 13 | Data (D), Clock (CP), Set (SD), Reset (RD), Q, Q̅ | Dual independent flip-flop sections - pins assigned per TI 54H72 functional diagram |
| 8 | GND | Signal reference plane - tied to chassis ground in flight-critical systems |
| 16 | VCC | +5 V power input - requires local 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling per MIL-STD-1399 |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Class V Space-Level Qualification | Qualified per MIL-PRF-38534 Class V - enables use in orbital and deep-space platforms without additional upscreening |
| Asynchronous Set/Reset Priority | SD and RD override clock and data - allows deterministic state initialization during system boot or fault recovery |
| Ceramic Flatpack Hermeticity | Leak rate ≤1×10⁻⁸ atm·cc/sec He - prevents internal corrosion in humid or vacuum environments |
| Guaranteed Timing Across Temp | 10 ns tPD max over –55°C to +125°C - eliminates need for worst-case timing margin expansion |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SNJ54LS72W | Lower drive strength (IOL = 8 mA → 4 mA), higher tPD (20 ns), same W package | Not suitable for high-speed bus latching; acceptable for slower control sequencing | Select only if timing budget allows 2× delay penalty and lower fan-out suffices |
| SNJ54S72W | Faster tPD (5 ns), higher power consumption (20 mW vs. 12 mW), same pinout and temp range | Preferred where sub-10 ns timing is mandatory, but thermal management must accommodate +67% power | Choose when speed outweighs power constraints in short-duration mission phases |
Compared with SNJ54LS72W and SNJ54S72W, the SNJ54H72W delivers optimal balance of speed (10 ns), power (12 mW), and radiation tolerance-making it the default choice for mid-speed, high-reliability space and defense logic designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum propagation delay specification for SNJ54H72W across its full operating temperature range?
The SNJ54H72W has a maximum propagation delay of 10 ns at VCC = 5 V, specified over the full –55°C to +125°C temperature range per MIL-STD-883 Test Method 3001. This value is guaranteed for both Q and Q̅ outputs and applies to all qualified units shipped by Rochester Electronics under TI's original design and test criteria.
Does SNJ54H72W support asynchronous set and reset functions, and how do they interact with the clock signal?
Yes, SNJ54H72W supports active-low asynchronous set (SD) and reset (RD) inputs on each flip-flop section. These inputs have priority over the clock (CP) and data (D) signals-asserting either SD or RD forces the corresponding Q output to logic high or low regardless of CP state or timing, enabling immediate state control during fault conditions or initialization.
What packaging standard does SNJ54H72W conform to, and why is it critical for space applications?
SNJ54H72W uses a 16-pin ceramic flatpack (W) package qualified to MIL-PRF-38534 Class V. Its hermetic seal, side-brazed construction, and gold-plated leads prevent moisture ingress and outgassing-critical for maintaining electrical integrity and preventing latent failures in vacuum and thermal-cycling environments typical of orbital missions.
Is SNJ54H72W compatible with standard 54-series TTL logic families, and what voltage levels define this compatibility?
Yes, SNJ54H72W is fully compatible with other 54-series TTL devices including 54H, 54L, and 54S families. Input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max) and output voltage levels (VOH = 2.4 V min, VOL = 0.5 V max at IOL = 8 mA) match TI's 54-series specifications, ensuring reliable interfacing without level-shifting circuitry.
How is the authenticity and performance of SNJ54H72W verified by Rochester Electronics?
Rochester Electronics manufactures SNJ54H72W using original TI die/wafers or IP-authorized recreations, testing each unit with TI's original factory test programs or Rochester-developed equivalents. All units meet or exceed TI's published datasheet specifications-including Class V space-level screening-and carry full traceability documentation per AS9120 and ISO-9001 requirements.
