Product details
Overview
SNJ54LS353FK from Rochester Electronics is a dual 1-of-4 data selector/multiplexer with complementary outputs, TTL-compatible, operating over –55°C to +125°C, featuring 15 ns propagation delay at VCC = 5 V, and designed for military-grade signal routing in avionics timing control systems.
For engineers reviewing the SNJ54LS353FK datasheet, SNJ54LS353FK pinout, SNJ54LS353FK application, or SNJ54LS353FK equivalent, this device serves as a high-reliability, temperature-hardened multiplexer for deterministic digital selection in space-qualified and defense-critical logic subsystems.
Technical Context
The SNJ54LS353FK implements two independent 4-input multiplexers sharing common select lines (S0, S1) and an active-low enable (G̅), each delivering true and complemented outputs (Y, Y̅). It uses bipolar TTL technology with Schottky-clamped transistors to ensure noise immunity and fast switching.
Input thresholds are compatible with standard TTL logic levels (VIH ≥ 2.0 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V), and output drive capability supports fan-out of 10 LS-TTL loads. The device meets MIL-PRF-35835 Class V (Space Level) qualification requirements including radiation hardness and extended temperature operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Family | 74LS (Low-power Schottky TTL), ensuring compatibility with legacy military digital systems |
| Operating Temperature | –55°C to +125°C, qualified for space and airborne platforms per MIL-PRF-35835 Class V |
| Propagation Delay | 15 ns max (tPLH/tPHL), enabling reliable 33 MHz worst-case clock domain selection |
| Supply Voltage | VCC = 4.5 V to 5.5 V, supporting stable operation under regulated aerospace power rails |
| Output Drive | IOL = 8 mA / IOH = –400 µA, sufficient to drive 10 LS-TTL inputs without buffering |
| Enable Polarity | Active-low G̅ input, allowing synchronous gating of both multiplexers with single control line |
Pinout & Package
SNJ54LS353FK is supplied in a 20-pin ceramic flatpack (FK package), hermetically sealed for high-reliability military and space applications.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

| 3, 6 (S0, S1) | Select Lines | Binary address inputs determining which of four data inputs passes to output (00–11) |
| 7 (G̅) | Active-Low Enable | Disables both multiplexers when high; enables simultaneous selection when low |
| 8 (Y1) | True Output Channel A | Selected input from A-channel, asserted only when G̅ = low |
| 11 (Y1̅) | Complement Output Channel A | Inverted version of Y1, useful for differential signaling or logic inversion |
| 14 (Y2) | True Output Channel B | Selected input from B-channel, asserted only when G̅ = low |
| 15 (Y2̅) | Complement Output Channel B | Inverted version of Y2, enabling dual-rail logic interface |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual 1-of-4 multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN54LS353J | Same logic function and pinout; plastic DIP package instead of ceramic FK; not Class V qualified | Limited to ground-based industrial or lab use; unsuitable for space or extended temperature deployment | Choose SN54LS353J only for cost-sensitive non-military prototypes where hermeticity and radiation tolerance are unnecessary |
| SNJ54LS253FK | Identical pinout and electrical specs; differs only in internal logic implementation (dual 1-of-4 vs. dual 1-of-4 with enable); functionally identical for most use cases | No functional difference in routing behavior; same MIL-PRF-35835 Class V qualification and FK packaging | SNJ54LS253FK is a direct functional replacement with identical form, fit, and function in space-grade designs |
Compared with SN54LS353J and SNJ54LS253FK, the SNJ54LS353FK uniquely combines Class V space qualification with true/complement outputs in a hermetic ceramic package-making it the only option for mission-critical avionics requiring simultaneous output polarity control and radiation tolerance.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by the SNJ54LS353FK?
The SNJ54LS353FK has a maximum propagation delay of 15 ns, supporting reliable operation up to approximately 33 MHz in worst-case conditions. This timing allows the SNJ54LS353FK to synchronize with legacy MIL-STD-1553 bus controllers and FPGA-based sequencers in avionics systems without added pipeline stages.
Does the SNJ54LS353FK require external pull-up resistors on its outputs?
No, the SNJ54LS353FK features active pull-down and pull-up circuitry inherent to LS-TTL design, eliminating the need for external pull-ups. Its outputs drive directly into LS-TTL inputs, and the SNJ54LS353FK maintains valid logic levels across its full –55°C to +125°C operating range without additional biasing components.
Is the SNJ54LS353FK pin-compatible with commercial 74LS353 devices?
Yes, the SNJ54LS353FK shares identical pinout and logic function with commercial 74LS353 variants, but uses a ceramic FK package and meets MIL-PRF-35835 Class V requirements. While electrically compatible, the SNJ54LS353FK is not intended for drop-in replacement in non-military PCBs unless environmental and reliability requirements match.
What does the "K" suffix indicate in SNJ54LS353FK?
The "K" suffix in SNJ54LS353FK denotes a ceramic flatpack (FK) package with metal lid hermetic sealing, consistent with MIL-STD-1835 nomenclature. This distinguishes it from plastic DIP (J), ceramic DIP (W), or metal can (H) variants-and confirms the SNJ54LS353FK's suitability for high-reliability aerospace deployments.
Can the SNJ54LS353FK be used in radiation-intensive environments like low Earth orbit?
Yes, the SNJ54LS353FK is qualified to MIL-PRF-35835 Class V (Space Level), including total ionizing dose (TID) and single-event effect (SEE) testing. Its qualification makes the SNJ54LS353FK appropriate for use in LEO satellites, launch vehicle avionics, and other radiation-exposed applications where functional integrity must be maintained.
