Nexperia USA Inc. 74AHC377PW,112

Overview

74AHC377PW,112 from Nexperia is an octal positive-edge-triggered D-type flip-flop with individual D inputs and Q outputs, a common clock (CP), and an active-low data enable (E). It operates from 2.0 V to 5.5 V, delivers propagation delays as low as 3.9 ns (VCC = 5 V, CL = 15 pF), supports −40 °C to +125 °C ambient range, and is used in addressable register applications requiring synchronized parallel data latching.

For engineers reviewing the 74AHC377PW,112 datasheet, 74AHC377PW,112 pinout, 74AHC377PW,112 application, or 74AHC377PW,112 equivalent, key selection criteria include setup/hold timing (tsu = 4.5 ns, th = 2.0 ns at VCC = 5 V), CMOS-level input compatibility, TSSOP20 package footprint, and data-enable–controlled synchronous loading across eight channels.

Technical Context

This device implements eight independent edge-triggered D flip-flops sharing one clock and one global data enable. The E input must be stable one setup time before the LOW-to-HIGH CP transition to ensure predictable state transfer from Dn to Qn.

It features Schmitt-trigger inputs for noise immunity, accepts input voltages up to 7.0 V regardless of VCC, and provides balanced propagation delays between all eight channels. The logic function is strictly synchronous-no transparent or latch behavior-and output states change only on the rising edge of CP when E is LOW.

FAQ

What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the 74AHC377PW,112?

The 74AHC377PW,112 supports up to 125 MHz typical operation at VCC = 5 V with 15 pF load, and 75 MHz minimum over full temperature range. Maximum frequency drops to 85 MHz at 50 pF load due to increased capacitive delay. These values assume proper signal integrity, termination, and decoupling per Nexperia's layout guidelines.

Does the 74AHC377PW,112 have built-in ESD protection?

Yes-it meets HBM ESD rating >2000 V, MM >200 V, and CDM >1000 V per JESD22 standards. This level of protection enables safe handling during SMT assembly and reliable operation in environments with moderate electrostatic discharge risk, such as factory floor or bench testing.

Can the 74AHC377PW,112 operate at 3.3 V supply?

Yes-its recommended operating range includes VCC = 2.0 V to 5.5 V, with full functionality at 3.3 V. At 3.3 V, propagation delay is 5.6 ns typical (CL = 15 pF), VIH = 2.1 V, and VOL ≤ 0.36 V at 4 mA drive-making it fully compatible with 3.3 V microcontrollers and FPGAs.

Is there a version of this device with a master reset function?

No-the 74AHC377PW,112 has no asynchronous reset. For master reset capability, Nexperia specifies the 74AHC273 (octal D flip-flop with asynchronous clear), which shares the same TSSOP20 package and voltage range but adds an active-low CLR input independent of clock and enable.
