Product details
Overview
SNJ54LS02FK from Texas Instruments is a military-grade quad 2-input NOR gate IC in hermetically sealed LCCC-20 package, operating across -55°C to +125°C. It delivers TTL-compatible logic levels, 15 ns typical propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL), 16 mA output drive capability, and is qualified per MIL-PRF-38535 Class B for high-reliability aerospace and defense systems.
For engineers reviewing the SNJ54LS02FK datasheet, SNJ54LS02FK pinout, SNJ54LS02FK application, or SNJ54LS02FK equivalent, this page provides verified electrical specifications, military-grade thermal and packaging data, LCCC-20 terminal mapping, and direct alternatives with documented functional and qualification differences.
Technical Context
The SNJ54LS02FK implements four independent 2-input NOR gates using low-power Schottky (LS) TTL technology. Each gate features standard TTL input thresholds (VIL = 0.8 V, VIH = 2.0 V) and output voltage levels (VOL ≤ 0.5 V at IOL = 16 mA, VOH ≥ 2.7 V at IOH = 0.4 mA).
It operates from a single 5 V ± 5% supply, draws 19 mA maximum ICC (per gate), and maintains full functionality over its extended military temperature range without derating. The LCCC-20 ceramic package ensures hermeticity, zero moisture sensitivity (MSL N/A), and compatibility with high-reliability board assembly processes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Family | Low-Power Schottky (LS) TTL - enables interoperability with legacy 74LS and 54LS systems while reducing power vs standard TTL. |
| Function | Quad 2-input NOR gate - provides four independent Boolean OR-NOT logic functions in one package for compact combinatorial logic design. |
| Propagation Delay | 15 ns typical (VCC = 5 V, TA = 25°C) - supports reliable operation in synchronous digital systems up to ~30 MHz clock domains. |
| Output Drive | 16 mA sink / 0.4 mA source - sufficient to directly drive multiple TTL inputs or small LEDs without external buffers. |
| Operating Temperature | -55°C to +125°C - certified for use in avionics, missile guidance, and space-qualified ground support equipment. |
| Supply Voltage | 5 V ± 5% - requires stable regulated rail; no internal regulation or wide-VCC support. |
| Package | LCCC (FK), 20-terminal ceramic - hermetically sealed, leadless, RoHS-exempt (SNPB finish), MSL N/A, suitable for high-vacuum and radiation-prone environments. |
Pinout & Package
LCCC (FK) is a 20-terminal leadless ceramic chip carrier with 1.27 mm pitch, 8.89 mm × 8.89 mm body, and 2.03 mm max height. Terminals are arranged in a square grid (5×5), with Pin 1 located at top-left corner (quadrant Q1), and all terminals serving as I/O or power connections - no dedicated ground plane or thermal pad.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 9, 11, 12 | NOR Gate Inputs (A/B) | Eight total inputs across four gates; each pair (e.g., Pins 1&2 → Gate 1) accepts standard TTL logic levels. |
| 3, 6, 10, 13 | NOR Gate Outputs (Y) | Four active-low outputs; each drives up to 16 mA sink current into grounded loads or TTL inputs. |
| 7, 14 | VCC | Two dedicated 5 V supply pins - required for decoupling near both ends of the package to minimize switching noise. |
| 15, 16, 18, 19 | GND | Four ground terminals - provide low-inductance return paths for all gates and enable robust noise immunity in high-speed layouts. |
| 20 | No Connect (NC) | Unused terminal; must remain unconnected and unbonded per TI specification to avoid parasitic coupling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| MIL-PRF-38535 Class B Qualification | Guarantees screening for burn-in, temperature cycling, and hermeticity - required for flight-critical subsystems. |
| Hermetic LCCC-20 Package | Eliminates moisture ingress risk and enables long-term reliability in humid, high-vibration, or vacuum environments. |
| 15 ns Propagation Delay @ Full Temp Range | Ensures timing predictability across -55°C to +125°C without additional margining or derating. |
| TTL-Compatible Input/Output Levels | Direct drop-in replacement for legacy 54LS02 variants without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Zero Moisture Sensitivity (MSL N/A) | Removes bake-out requirements before reflow, simplifying high-reliability SMT assembly workflows. |
Applications
| Avionics Flight Control Logic | Military Radar Signal Processing |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad 2-input NOR gate applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SNJ54LS02J | CDIP-14 package (14-pin ceramic DIP), same electrical specs and MIL-PRF-38535 Class B qualification. | Through-hole mounting only; larger footprint and higher inductance than LCCC-20; unsuitable for high-density or high-frequency PCBs. | Select when legacy through-hole assembly infrastructure exists or when manual prototyping is required. |
| SNJ54LS02W | CFP-14 package (14-pin ceramic flatpack), identical logic function and military qualification, but different pinout and mechanical form factor. | Surface-mount compatible but lacks LCCC's hermeticity assurance and zero-Moisture-Sensitivity advantage; limited thermal dissipation vs LCCC. | Select when CFP-14 footprint is already standardized in existing hardware and vacuum compatibility is not required. |
Compared with SNJ54LS02J and SNJ54LS02W, the SNJ54LS02FK offers superior high-frequency stability due to its symmetric LCCC layout, lower parasitic inductance from dual VCC/quad GND, and guaranteed hermeticity - making it the preferred choice for new designs demanding maximum reliability in harsh environments.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by SNJ54LS02FK?
The SNJ54LS02FK does not specify a maximum clock frequency in its datasheet because it is a combinational logic device without an internal clock. Its usable toggle rate is determined by propagation delay: with 15 ns typical tPLH/tPHL, the SNJ54LS02FK supports reliable operation in synchronous systems with clock periods ≥30 ns (i.e., ≤33 MHz). Actual system-level frequency depends on fanout, trace length, and loading.
Is SNJ54LS02FK RoHS compliant?
No, SNJ54LS02FK is not RoHS compliant. It uses SNPB (tin-lead) lead finish and is explicitly marked "No" for RoHS in TI's packaging documentation. This exemption supports solder joint reliability in high-reliability military and aerospace applications where lead-free alternatives may introduce tin whisker or intermetallic growth risks.
Can SNJ54LS02FK be used as a direct replacement for SN74LS02N?
No - SNJ54LS02FK is not a direct replacement for SN74LS02N. While both implement quad 2-input NOR logic, SNJ54LS02FK is a military-grade part (–55°C to +125°C, MIL-PRF-38535 Class B, LCCC-20), whereas SN74LS02N is commercial-grade (0°C to +70°C, PDIP-14, RoHS-compliant). Electrical specs match, but package, qualification, and temperature range differ significantly.
What is the purpose of the NC (No Connect) terminal on SNJ54LS02FK?
Pin 20 on the SNJ54LS02FK is designated NC (No Connect) and must remain unconnected. TI specifies that this terminal is not bonded internally and has no electrical function. Connecting it risks parasitic coupling or unintended current paths. Layout guidelines require leaving Pin 20 unmasked and un-soldered to maintain signal integrity and qualification compliance.
Does SNJ54LS02FK require external decoupling capacitors?
Yes - SNJ54LS02FK requires external ceramic decoupling capacitors. Due to its dual VCC pins (Pins 7 and 14) and high-speed switching, TI recommends placing a 0.1 µF X7R capacitor between each VCC pin and the nearest GND terminal (e.g., Pin 7–Pin 15, Pin 14–Pin 16). This minimizes supply noise and prevents logic glitches during simultaneous output transitions.
