Product details
Overview
SNJ54S174J from Texas Instruments is a military-grade hex D-type flip-flop with asynchronous clear, implemented in Schottky TTL logic. It provides six independent edge-triggered storage elements, operates over –55°C to +125°C, features 16-pin CDIP (J) packaging, and supports clocked data latching for synchronous digital control in avionics and defense systems.
For engineers reviewing the SNJ54S174J datasheet, SNJ54S174J pinout, SNJ54S174J application, or SNJ54S174J equivalent, this page delivers verified functional identity, military temperature range validation, CDIP-16 mechanical interface details, Schottky TTL timing parameters, and direct alternatives for high-reliability logic design.
Technical Context
The SNJ54S174J implements six positive-edge-triggered D-type flip-flops sharing a common asynchronous active-low clear (CLR̅) input and individual data (D0–D5) and clock (CLK) inputs. All outputs (Q0–Q5) are non-inverted and fully buffered.
It belongs to the 54S logic family, delivering propagation delays of tPLH = 5 ns and tPHL = 6 ns (max) at VCC = 5 V, with guaranteed operation across –55°C to +125°C and supply voltage tolerance of 4.5 V to 5.5 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Family | 54S Schottky TTL - enables high-speed operation with reduced power-delay product vs. standard TTL. |
| Function | Hex D-type flip-flop with asynchronous clear - provides six independent storage cells for synchronized state capture in control registers. |
| Operating Temperature | –55°C to +125°C - qualified for military and aerospace applications requiring extreme environmental resilience. |
| Propagation Delay | tPLH/tPHL = 5/6 ns (max) - ensures tight timing margins in high-frequency clock domains up to ~80 MHz. |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - maintains stable logic levels under regulated or marginally conditioned 5 V rails. |
| Package | CDIP (J), 16-pin - hermetically sealed ceramic dual in-line package for long-term reliability in harsh environments. |
| Clear Logic | Asynchronous active-low CLR̅ - allows immediate reset of all six outputs independent of clock edge. |
Pinout & Package
SNJ54S174J uses a 16-pin Ceramic Dual In-Line Package (CDIP, J) with 0.3-inch body width and through-hole mounting. The package is hermetically sealed, lead-finished with SNPB (tin-lead), and rated for indefinite storage under controlled conditions.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 9 | Data Inputs (D0–D5) | Individual asynchronous data inputs for each flip-flop; sampled on rising CLK edge. |
| 3, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14 | Outputs (Q0–Q5) | Non-inverted, buffered storage outputs; retain state until next clock or clear event. |
| 11 | CLK | Common positive-edge-triggered clock input controlling simultaneous latching of all six D inputs. |
| 13 | CLR̅ | Active-low asynchronous clear; forces Q0–Q5 low regardless of CLK or D states. |
| 16 | VCC | +5 V power supply connection; requires local bypass capacitance per MIL-STD-883. |
| 8 | GND | Signal and power ground reference; must be connected to low-impedance system ground plane. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High-Speed Schottky TTL | 5 ns typical tPLH enables use in 80+ MHz clock domains without external pipelining. |
| Military Temperature Range | –55°C to +125°C operation verified per MIL-PRF-38535, supporting deployment in jet engine bays and space-qualified subsystems. |
| Hermetic CDIP Packaging | Ceramic DIP with glass-sealed leads ensures zero moisture ingress and >10-year shelf life under MIL-STD-883 conditioning. |
| Asynchronous Global Clear | Single-pin CLR̅ resets all six outputs within 6 ns, critical for fail-safe initialization in flight control sequencers. |
| Input Clamp Diodes | Integrated diodes protect against transient overvoltage up to ±2 V beyond VCC/GND, reducing need for external TVS in I/O paths. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar hex D-type flip-flop applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SNJ54LS174J | Lower speed (tPLH/tPHL = 15/20 ns), higher noise margin, same CDIP-16 pinout and military temp range. | Suitable where timing slack permits slower settling, e.g., legacy bus arbitration logic. | Select SNJ54LS174J only when propagation delay budget exceeds 15 ns and lower power consumption is prioritized. |
| SNJ54S175J | Quad D-type (4-bit) instead of hex (6-bit); identical timing, packaging, and temperature specs. | Used when fewer storage bits are needed per IC, enabling layout simplification in compact modules. | Choose SNJ54S175J if system-level bit count allows consolidation into four-bit groups without increasing IC count. |
Compared with SNJ54LS174J, SNJ54S174J trades higher power for 3× faster switching-critical in high-throughput telemetry buffers-while SNJ54S175J offers identical speed in a reduced-width footprint ideal for space-constrained guidance electronics.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by SNJ54S174J?
The SNJ54S174J does not specify a maximum clock frequency in its datasheet, but its propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL ≤ 6 ns) and setup/hold time requirements (tsu = 2.5 ns, th = 0 ns) support reliable operation up to approximately 80 MHz in well-designed PCB layouts with controlled impedance and proper termination. This performance is validated across the full –55°C to +125°C range for the SNJ54S174J.
Is SNJ54S174J RoHS compliant?
No, SNJ54S174J is not RoHS compliant. It uses a lead-based (SNPB) finish and is manufactured under MIL-PRF-38535 Class B or S specifications. Its CDIP (J) package contains leaded solder seals, making it exempt from RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU per Annex III for aerospace and defense applications requiring high-reliability hermetic packaging.
Does SNJ54S174J have internal pull-up or pull-down resistors on its inputs?
No, SNJ54S174J does not include internal pull-up or pull-down resistors on any input pins. All inputs-D0–D5, CLK, and CLR̅-require externally defined logic levels. Floating inputs may cause unpredictable output states or increased power consumption due to input stage contention, so external biasing is mandatory in unconnected or high-impedance signal contexts for the SNJ54S174J.
Can SNJ54S174J be used as a replacement for SN74S174N in commercial designs?
SNJ54S174J is not a drop-in replacement for SN74S174N due to differences in temperature range (–55°C to +125°C vs. 0°C to +70°C), packaging (hermetic CDIP vs. plastic PDIP), and qualification (MIL-PRF-38535 vs. commercial TI standards). While pinout and logic function match, SNJ54S174J's higher cost, tighter tolerances, and military screening make it overqualified-and electrically incompatible in systems lacking full-range thermal compensation-for standard commercial use cases of SN74S174N.
What is the recommended bypass capacitor for SNJ54S174J?
Texas Instruments recommends a minimum 0.1 µF ceramic bypass capacitor placed as close as possible to the VCC (pin 16) and GND (pin 8) pins of the SNJ54S174J, with additional bulk capacitance (e.g., 10 µF tantalum) shared across multiple devices on the same 5 V rail. This configuration suppresses high-frequency switching noise and maintains stable VCC during simultaneous output transitions in the SNJ54S174J.
