J-K flip-flop, active production
The Texas Instruments 9099DC is a J-K flip-flop, a fundamental sequential logic element that toggles its output on each clock pulse when both J and K inputs are high, or sets/resets based on input states. It sits in the Microcontrollers & Processors (MCU / MPU / DSP) category, though its function is discrete logic, not a programmable processor.
RoHS and package note
The 9099DC is RoHS non-compliant. This is a legacy compliance status — the part contains lead (Pb) in the solder finish or die attach, which exempts it from RoHS restrictions for certain applications (e.g., high-reliability, aerospace, or medical equipment where lead-free solder joint reliability is a concern). Supplied in Bulk package, meaning loose tubes or trays rather than tape-and-reel. This is typical for through-hole or large-outline parts that are hand-inserted or used in low-volume / prototype builds.
