Product details
Overview
SNJ54LS08J from Texas Instruments is a military-grade quadruple 2-input positive-AND gate IC in a 14-pin ceramic dual in-line package (CDIP), operating across –55°C to +125°C. It delivers TTL-compatible logic levels, typical propagation delay of 15 ns at VCC = 5 V, and fan-out of 10 LS-TTL loads. It is used in hardened digital control systems requiring radiation-tolerant, high-reliability combinational logic.
For engineers reviewing the SNJ54LS08J datasheet, SNJ54LS08J pinout, SNJ54LS08J application, or SNJ54LS08J equivalent, this page provides verified functional specifications, military temperature range validation, CDIP package mechanical data, and direct alternatives for aerospace and defense logic design.
Technical Context
The SNJ54LS08J implements four independent AND gates using low-power Schottky (LS) TTL technology. Each gate features open-collector compatible output structure with guaranteed high-level output voltage ≥2.7 V and low-level output voltage ≤0.5 V under specified load conditions.
It operates from a single 5-V supply with input thresholds aligned to standard TTL logic families: VIH(min) = 2.0 V and VIL(max) = 0.8 V. The device supports direct interfacing with SN54/74-series logic without level-shifting.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Family | LS-TTL - enables interoperability with legacy 74LS and 54LS systems while reducing power vs standard TTL. |
| Supply Voltage | 5 V ±0.5 V - fixed single-rail operation; no regulation margin required in compliant 5-V systems. |
| Propagation Delay | 15 ns max (tpd) - ensures timing predictability in synchronous control paths up to ~30 MHz clock domains. |
| Operating Temperature | –55°C to +125°C - qualified for extended-range military applications including avionics and ground vehicle ECUs. |
| Fan-Out | 10 LS-TTL loads - supports direct drive of multiple downstream LS inputs without buffering. |
| Input Thresholds | VIH(min) = 2.0 V, VIL(max) = 0.8 V - guarantees noise immunity >0.4 V under worst-case VCC and temperature. |
| Output Drive | IOL = 8 mA, IOH = –0.4 mA - sufficient to sink standard TTL inputs and interface with discrete pull-up networks. |
Pinout & Package
SNJ54LS08J uses a 14-pin ceramic dual in-line package (CDIP-J) with 0.3-inch body width, hermetically sealed ceramic construction, and through-hole mounting. Pin 1 is identified by a notch or dot on the package top edge.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 9, 11, 12 | Input A/B per gate | Eight total inputs across four AND gates; each pair (e.g., pins 1&2) feeds one gate's inputs. |
| 3, 6, 10, 13 | Output Y per gate | Four independent open-collector outputs; require external pull-up for HIGH assertion. |
| 7 | GND | Ground reference for all logic and power return paths; must be low-impedance connection. |
| 14 | VCC | +5 V supply input; decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF) required within 1 cm of pin for noise suppression. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hermetic CDIP packaging | Enables long-term reliability in high-humidity, high-vibration, and radiation-prone environments per MIL-STD-883. |
| QML-38535 Class V qualification | Meets stringent screening, burn-in, and lot acceptance test requirements for space and defense programs. |
| Open-collector outputs | Supports wired-AND bus configurations and level translation via external pull-up resistors. |
| Low-power Schottky architecture | Reduces dynamic power consumption by ~50% versus standard 5408, enabling higher gate density in thermal-constrained modules. |
| Guaranteed AC/DC parametrics over full temp range | Eliminates need for derating or additional margining in extreme ambient conditions. |
Applications
| Avionics Flight Control Logic | Military Vehicle Power Sequencing |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar AND gate logic applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SNJ54LS08W | Same logic function and specs, but in 14-pin CFP (flatpack) package with gull-wing leads. | Preferred for surface-mount PCBs with strict height constraints (<2.5 mm); not suitable for through-hole assembly. | Select SNJ54LS08W when board real estate or automated placement favors flatpack over DIP. |
| SNJ54LS08FK | Same logic function and specs, but in 20-pin LCCC (leadless ceramic chip carrier) with 1.27-mm pitch. | Used in ultra-high-reliability hybrid microcircuits where hermeticity and thermal cycling resistance exceed CDIP capabilities. | Choose SNJ54LS08FK for multi-chip module integration or applications requiring >100,000 thermal cycles. |
Compared with SNJ54LS08W and SNJ54LS08FK, SNJ54LS08J offers optimal mechanical robustness for manual prototyping, legacy board upgrades, and systems requiring proven through-hole solder joint integrity under shock/vibe stress.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for SNJ54LS08J?
The SNJ54LS08J is rated for operation from –55°C to +125°C, fully qualified per MIL-PRF-38535 Class V requirements. This extended range enables deployment in jet engine bays, desert-deployed radios, and satellite payload compartments where ambient thermal extremes exceed commercial-grade logic limits. SNJ54LS08J maintains full DC and AC parametric compliance across this entire span without derating.
Does SNJ54LS08J have open-collector outputs?
Yes, SNJ54LS08J features four open-collector outputs (pins 3, 6, 10, 13). Each requires an external pull-up resistor to VCC or another logic rail to assert HIGH logic levels. This architecture supports wired-AND bus structures, mixed-voltage interfacing, and current-sinking applications such as LED driving or relay coil control - all while maintaining SNJ54LS08J's guaranteed output sink capability of 8 mA per channel.
Is SNJ54LS08J RoHS-compliant?
No, SNJ54LS08J is not RoHS-compliant. Its lead finish is SNPB (tin-lead), and it carries a "No" RoHS designation per TI's official packaging addendum. This reflects its heritage as a military-specification part intended for applications where tin whisker mitigation and long-term solder joint reliability outweigh RoHS compliance mandates - particularly in aerospace and defense platforms governed by MIL-STD-1581 or NASA-SSP-30230.
How does SNJ54LS08J differ from commercial SN74LS08 variants?
SNJ54LS08J differs from SN74LS08 in three key ways: (1) extended temperature range (–55°C to +125°C vs. 0°C to +70°C), (2) QML-38535 Class V qualification with full MIL-STD-883 testing, and (3) hermetic CDIP packaging instead of plastic DIP or SOIC. These differences make SNJ54LS08J suitable for mission-critical systems where SN74LS08 would fail qualification or degrade prematurely.
Can SNJ54LS08J be used as a direct replacement for SN5408 or SN54S08?
SNJ54LS08J is functionally compatible with SN5408 and SN54S08 as a quadruple 2-input AND gate, but substitution requires validation of timing and drive strength. SNJ54LS08J has slower propagation delay (15 ns) than SN54S08 (3 ns) but lower power than SN5408. Its LS-TTL input thresholds match both, ensuring interoperability - however, SN54S08's higher speed and SN5408's higher drive may necessitate redesign if timing margins are tight or fan-out exceeds 10.
