What are the key features of 8550701RA?

  • Single D-type positive-edge-triggered flip-flop with 3-state bus-interface output, active-LOW enable control
  • HCT family logic compatible with 5 V TTL thresholds and up to 20 MHz maximum operating frequency at 50 pF load
  • 20-pin ceramic dual-in-line (CDIP) package with JESD-609 e0 RoHS compliant finish for military and industrial reliability
  • Unidirectional bus-driver architecture simplifies address or data latch design in 8-bit and wider backplane systems

What is 8550701RA used for?

The 8550701RA is designed for address and data latching on high-reliability 5 V TTL-compatible bus systems in military avionics, defense electronics, and ruggedized industrial controllers where the ceramic hermetic CDIP package is mandatory. Its 3-state output and active-low enable make it a direct fit for bus arbitration circuits, memory address registers, and backplane interface stages running at up to 20 MHz clock rates.

Frequently Asked Questions

At what maximum clock frequency can the 8550701RA reliably toggle its output on a 50 pF load?

The 8550701RA is rated for a maximum frequency of 20 MHz when driving a 50 pF load capacitance. At this rate, the HCT-family output can switch a full logic level within half a clock period (25 ns), meeting setup and hold requirements of most 5 V TTL-compatible bus controllers in address-latch applications.

How does the 8550701RA's 3-state output simplify multi-device bus sharing on a common data or address bus?

The active-LOW output enable (OE#) places all outputs in high-impedance when asserted, allowing multiple 8550701RA devices to share a single 8-bit or 20-bit address bus without bus contention. Each device drives the bus only during its assigned time slot, and the 20-pin CDIP footprint lets designers stack several units in a DIP socket array on a standard 0.1-inch-pitch PCB.

Why is the ceramic DIP package of the 8550701RA preferred over a plastic SOIC in defense or avionics applications?

The 20-pin ceramic DIP (JESD-30 code R-GDIP-T20) provides a hermetically sealed cavity that prevents moisture ingress under MIL-STD-883 screening conditions, whereas plastic SOIC packages absorb moisture and can delaminate during solder reflow at high temperatures. For flight hardware or equipment rated to extended temperature ranges beyond −40°C to +85°C, the ceramic package sustains flip-flop timing parameters—20 MHz max frequency, 50 pF load—across the full operational life.

When would a designer choose the 8550701RA over a modern CMOS LVC or ALVC flip-flop for a legacy bus refresh?

In 5 V TTL backplane systems already populated with HCT-family logic running at 20 MHz or below, the 8550701RA offers direct pin-for-pin and voltage-level compatibility without the level-translation overhead required by 1.8 V or 2.5 V ALVC parts. The CDIP tube packaging also meets traceability and screening requirements for MIL-spec procurement that plastic SOIC alternatives cannot satisfy.
