Product details
Overview
74HCT377DB,112 from Nexperia is an octal positive-edge-triggered D-type flip-flop with data enable (E) input, operating at 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply voltage, supporting up to 48 MHz maximum clock frequency at 4.5 V, and rated for -40 °C to +125 °C ambient temperature. It functions as a synchronous data latch in digital control logic, bus interface buffering, and state register stages in industrial microcontroller peripherals.
For engineers reviewing the 74HCT377DB,112 datasheet, 74HCT377DB,112 pinout, 74HCT377DB,112 application, or 74HCT377DB,112 equivalent, this device delivers TTL-compatible input thresholds, 17 ns typical propagation delay (CP to Qn), and SO20 package compatibility-key selection criteria for legacy 5 V logic upgrades and deterministic edge-triggered storage in programmable logic controllers.
Technical Context
The 74HCT377DB,112 implements eight independent D-type flip-flops sharing a common clock (CP) and active-low data enable (E) signal. Its TTL-level input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max at VCC = 4.5 V) ensure interoperability with standard 5 V logic families without level translation. The device requires stable E one setup time before the LOW-to-HIGH CP transition for predictable output behavior.
Input clamp diodes allow safe interfacing to voltages exceeding VCC when used with current-limiting resistors. Latch-up immunity exceeds 100 mA per JESD78 Class II Level B, and ESD protection meets ANSI/ESDA/JEDEC JS-001 Class 2 (>2000 V HBM) and JS-002 Class C3 (>1000 V CDM).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - Enables direct integration into 5 V systems without regulation overhead. |
| Propagation Delay (tpd) | 17 ns typical (CP to Qn, VCC = 4.5 V) - Supports timing-critical control paths up to 48 MHz clock rate. |
| Input Thresholds | VIH ≥ 2.0 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V - Guarantees reliable recognition of standard TTL logic levels. |
| Operating Temperature | -40 °C to +125 °C - Qualified for under-hood industrial and extended-range embedded applications. |
| Output Drive | ±4.0 mA (VOH/VOL) - Sufficient to drive 10 LS-TTL loads or moderate capacitive buses. |
| Power Dissipation | CPD = 20 pF - Enables accurate dynamic power estimation using PD = CPD × VCC² × fi. |
| Set-up Time (tsu) | 22 ns minimum (Dn/E to CP) - Defines minimum data stability window before clock edge for valid capture. |
Pinout & Package
74HCT377DB,112 is housed in a plastic small outline package (SO20), SOT163-1, with 20 leads and 7.5 mm body width. Pin 1 is marked by a notch or dot; the package is lead-free and RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (E) | Data enable input | Active-LOW control: enables data capture only when asserted; high-Z outputs otherwise. |
| 2–9, 12, 15–16, 19 (Q0–Q7) | Flip-flop outputs | Eight buffered, non-inverted latched outputs synchronized to CP rising edge. |
| 3–4, 7–8, 13–14, 17–18 (D0–D7) | Data inputs | Eight independent asynchronous data inputs sampled on CP rising edge if E is LOW. |
| 10 (GND) | Ground reference | 0 V return path for all internal logic and I/O; must be low-impedance for noise immunity. |
| 11 (CP) | Clock input | Positive-edge-triggered master clock; all eight flip-flops update simultaneously on LOW-to-HIGH transition. |
| 20 (VCC) | Supply voltage | Primary 4.5–5.5 V power rail; decoupling capacitor required near pin for transient suppression. |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal D-type flip-flop applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74HCT377D,118 | Same SO20 package, identical electrical specs, but ordered with different tape-and-reel packaging (118 vs 112). | No functional difference; both support -40 °C to +125 °C and same timing. | Select 74HCT377D,118 only if specific reel quantity or packaging format is required by SMT line. |
| SN74HCT377N | Dual-in-line package (PDIP-20); higher parasitic capacitance (CI = 5.5 pF vs 3.5 pF); max fmax = 35 MHz at 5 V. | Suitable for prototyping and through-hole boards; not recommended for high-speed or space-constrained layouts. | Choose SN74HCT377N only for breadboarding or legacy through-hole assembly; avoid for production PCBs targeting >25 MHz operation. |
Compared with 74HCT377DB,112, the 74HCT377D,118 offers identical performance in alternate packaging, while SN74HCT377N trades speed and density for manual assembly flexibility-making the DB,112 optimal for automated, high-reliability industrial PCBs.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the 74HCT377DB,112?
The 74HCT377DB,112 supports a maximum clock frequency of 48 MHz at VCC = 4.5 V and Tamb = -40 °C to +85 °C, and 40 MHz across its full -40 °C to +125 °C operating range. This is determined by the propagation delay (tpd ≤ 40 ns) and pulse width (tW ≥ 25 ns) specifications under recommended conditions.
Does the 74HCT377DB,112 require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on its inputs?
No, the 74HCT377DB,112 does not require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on its inputs. Its TTL-compatible input structure provides defined thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.0 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V) and low input leakage (<1 μA), allowing direct connection to CMOS or TTL outputs without biasing.
Can the 74HCT377DB,112 operate reliably at 3.3 V supply voltage?
No, the 74HCT377DB,112 is not specified for 3.3 V operation. Its recommended supply range is strictly 4.5 V to 5.5 V. At 3.3 V, input thresholds become undefined and output drive degrades significantly-use 74HC377 variants instead for 2.0–6.0 V operation.
How does the data enable (E) pin function in the 74HCT377DB,112?
In the 74HCT377DB,112, the E pin is an active-LOW enable: when E is LOW, the Q outputs update to match D inputs on the next CP rising edge; when E is HIGH, all Q outputs retain their previous state regardless of D or CP activity. E must be stable one setup time before CP transition for predictable behavior.
Is the 74HCT377DB,112 pin-compatible with the 74LS377?
Yes, the 74HCT377DB,112 is pin-compatible with the 74LS377 in SO20 (SOT163-1) package, sharing identical pinout, pin functions, and mechanical footprint. Its TTL-compatible inputs and 5 V supply make it a direct drop-in replacement that improves noise immunity and reduces power consumption versus the bipolar LS variant.
