Product details
Overview
74HC377N,652 from NXP Semiconductors (formerly Philips) is an octal positive-edge-triggered D-type flip-flop with common clock and active-low data enable, operating at 5 V supply, 13 ns typical propagation delay (CP to Qn), and 77 MHz maximum clock frequency. It serves as an addressable register in synchronous digital systems requiring simultaneous data latching across eight channels.
For engineers reviewing the 74HC377N,652 datasheet, 74HC377N,652 pinout, 74HC377N,652 application, or 74HC377N,652 equivalent, key selection criteria include edge-triggered synchronization, data enable timing constraints (tsu = 12 ns, th = 3 ns), standard-output drive capability, and compatibility with LSTTL logic families.
Technical Context
The 74HC377N,652 implements eight independent D-type storage elements sharing a single LOW-to-HIGH clock edge trigger and a global active-low data enable (E). Its operation requires Dn and E to be stable one setup time before the CP rising edge for deterministic state transfer.
It belongs to the 74HC high-speed CMOS logic family, specified per JEDEC Std 7A, and is pin-compatible with LS-TTL. DC characteristics follow HC-level voltage thresholds (VI = GND to VCC), and dynamic power is calculated using CPD = 20 pF per flip-flop.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Family | 74HC high-speed CMOS, JEDEC Std 7A compliant |
| Propagation Delay (CP→Qn) | 13 ns typical at VCC = 5 V, CL = 15 pF - determines max system timing margin |
| Max Clock Frequency | 77 MHz at VCC = 5 V - supports high-throughput register staging |
| Input Capacitance | 3.5 pF - minimizes loading on driving logic stages |
| Power Dissipation Cap. (CPD) | 20 pF per flip-flop - enables accurate dynamic power estimation |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.0–6.0 V - allows operation across industrial and mixed-voltage designs |
| Output Drive | Standard CMOS output - compatible with TTL and CMOS loads without buffering |
Pinout & Package
74HC377N,652 is supplied in a 20-pin dual in-line package (DIP) with through-hole mounting. Pin 10 is GND, pin 20 is VCC, and all inputs/outputs are arranged to support compact PCB layout with minimal signal crosstalk.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| E | Data enable input (active LOW) | Enables simultaneous loading of all eight D inputs on next CP rising edge |
| CP | Clock input (LOW-to-HIGH edge-triggered) | Edge-sensitive control signal defining latch timing boundary |
| D0–D7 | Data inputs | Eight asynchronous parallel inputs sampled one setup time before CP↑ |
| Q0–Q7 | Flip-flop outputs | Eight registered outputs retaining state until next enabled clock edge |
| VCC | Positive supply voltage | 2.0–6.0 V CMOS supply rail; decoupling required near pin 20 |
| GND | Ground reference | 0 V return path; must be low-impedance for noise immunity |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Octal positive-edge D flip-flops | Eight synchronized storage elements sharing one clock and enable - reduces control logic overhead in bus interface registers |
| Active-low data enable (E) | Allows precise gating of register updates without clock manipulation - critical for address/data co-synchronization |
| Standard output drive | Direct interfacing with TTL and CMOS loads - eliminates need for external buffers in mid-speed logic systems |
| LSTTL pin compatibility | Drop-in replacement for 74LS377 in legacy upgrades - preserves existing PCB layouts and timing analysis |

FAQ
What is the function of the E (enable) pin on the 74HC377N,652?
The E pin on the 74HC377N,652 is an active-low data enable input that gates the clock's effect on the flip-flops. When E is HIGH, the 74HC377N,652 holds its current outputs regardless of CP transitions. Only when E is LOW does a LOW-to-HIGH CP edge load the Dn inputs into Qn outputs. This enables precise synchronization of multi-byte data transfers without modifying the clock signal itself.
Does the 74HC377N,652 support operation at 3.3 V supply?
Yes, the 74HC377N,652 supports operation from 2.0 V to 6.0 V, including 3.3 V nominal supply. At 3.3 V, propagation delay increases (e.g., tPHL/tPLH ≈ 27 ns typical), and maximum clock frequency drops to ~35 MHz, as confirmed in the AC Characteristics table for VCC = 3.3 V (interpolated from 2.0 V and 4.5 V data). System timing must be re-verified at this voltage.
Is the 74HC377N,652 pin-compatible with the 74LS377?
Yes, the 74HC377N,652 is fully pin-compatible with the 74LS377, sharing identical pin configuration, terminal functions, and logic behavior. It was explicitly designed as a drop-in CMOS replacement for LS-TTL, meeting JEDEC Std 7A and offering lower power consumption, higher noise immunity, and wider supply range - making it suitable for direct board-level upgrades.
What is the minimum setup time required for D inputs relative to CP on the 74HC377N,652?
The minimum setup time (tsu) for Dn inputs relative to the LOW-to-HIGH CP transition is 12 ns at VCC = 4.5 V and Tamb = +25 °C, per the AC Characteristics table. Over the full industrial temperature range (−40 °C to +85 °C) and VCC = 4.5 V, tsu is guaranteed ≤15 ns. Violating this spec risks metastability or incorrect latching in the 74HC377N,652.
Can the 74HC377N,652 drive LED loads directly?
No, the 74HC377N,652 features standard CMOS outputs rated for ±5.2 mA (IOH/IOL) at VCC = 5 V - insufficient to drive most indicator LEDs (typically requiring 10–20 mA). Direct LED connection risks exceeding output current limits and degrading output voltage levels. A series current-limiting resistor plus external transistor buffer or dedicated LED driver is required for reliable operation with the 74HC377N,652.
