Dual JK flip-flop with preset and clear — 16-pin DIP
It triggers on the positive edge of the clock and provides complementary Q and Q̅ outputs. Both flip-flops have independent Set (Preset) and Reset inputs, letting you force the output state asynchronously — useful for initialisation or one-shot override in counter and register chains. Clock frequency is rated at 60 MHz, which gives comfortable margin for 8-bit and 16-bit microcontroller bus interfaces running at typical 8–48 MHz clock rates. Propagation delay is 30 ns max at 6 V supply with a 50 pF load, so timing closure in a 33 MHz synchronous bus is straightforward. Supply voltage spans 2 V to 6 V, covering 3.3 V and 5 V logic rails without a level translator. Quiescent current is just 4 µA, making it suitable for battery-backed or always-on logic where the flip-flop holds state while the rest of the board sleeps.
Package and mounting — through-hole 16-DIP
The SN74HC109N comes in a 16-pin plastic DIP (0.300" body width, 7.62 mm pitch), through-hole mount. The supplier device package is 16-PDIP. The 74HC family is CMOS, so input capacitance is 3 pF per pin, and output drive is 5.2 mA sink and source at the rated supply.
ROHS3 compliant, so it passes European and global RoHS requirements without exemption paperwork. If you need a dual JK flip-flop in a 16-pin DIP, several manufacturers offer functionally equivalent parts. The 74HC family has long lifecycle visibility; stocking a five-year supply for a mature design is reasonable.
