Product details
Overview
74LV377DB,112 from NXP Semiconductors (formerly Philips) is an octal positive-edge-triggered D-type flip-flop with active-low data enable, designed for low-voltage addressable register applications operating from 1.0 V to 3.6 V supply. It features eight independent D inputs and Q outputs, 13 ns propagation delay at VCC = 3.3 V, 77 MHz maximum clock frequency, and standard-output drive capability.
For engineers reviewing the 74LV377DB,112 datasheet, 74LV377DB,112 pinout, 74LV377DB,112 application, or 74LV377DB,112 equivalent, key selection considerations include its LV-family voltage compatibility (1.0–3.6 V), TTL-input-level acceptance at VCC ≥ 2.7 V, edge-triggered synchronization behavior, and SSOP-20 package footprint for space-constrained logic interfacing.
Technical Context
The 74LV377DB,112 implements eight identical CMOS D-type flip-flops sharing a common clock (CP) and a single active-low data enable (E). All outputs update synchronously on the LOW-to-HIGH transition of CP when E is LOW; otherwise, outputs retain state regardless of CP transitions.
Its input thresholds are specified across VCC = 1.2 V to 3.6 V, with VIH = 0.9 V (min) at VCC = 1.2 V and VIH = 2.0 V (min) at VCC ≥ 2.7 V. Output drive meets standard logic levels: VOH ≥ 2.4 V (min) at IO = –6 mA and VCC = 3.0 V; VOL ≤ 0.4 V (max) at IO = 6 mA and VCC = 3.0 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 1.0 V to 3.6 V - supports battery-powered and mixed-voltage systems without level shifters |
| Propagation Delay (tPHL/tPLH) | 13 ns @ VCC = 3.3 V, CL = 15 pF - enables reliable timing in high-speed address/data latching |
| Max Clock Frequency (fmax) | 77 MHz @ VCC = 3.3 V - suitable for fast synchronous bus interfaces up to ~13 ns cycle time |
| Input Capacitance (CI) | 3.5 pF - minimizes loading on preceding drivers and preserves signal integrity |
| Power Dissipation Cap. (CPD) | 20 pF per flip-flop - used to calculate dynamic power: PD = CPD × VCC² × fi |
| Operating Temp Range | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for industrial and automotive under-hood environments |
| Output Drive | ±25 mA - standard-output capability compatible with 74HC/HCT loading requirements |
Pinout & Package
74LV377DB,112 is housed in a 20-pin plastic shrink small outline package (SSOP Type II), body width 5.3 mm, pitch 0.65 mm, JEDEC MO-153 compliant (SOT339-1).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | E | Active-low data enable - must be LOW one setup time before CP rising edge to load Dn → Qn |
| 2,5,6,9,12,15,16,19 | Q0–Q7 | Registered outputs - hold stable values between clock edges; no internal feedback |
| 3,4,7,8,13,14,17,18 | D0–D7 | Data inputs - sampled on CP rising edge only when E is LOW |
| 10 | GND | Ground reference - return path for all internal logic and output currents |
| 11 | CP | Positive-edge-triggered clock - LOW-to-HIGH transition initiates sampling and update |
| 20 | VCC | Positive supply - powers all eight flip-flops and output buffers; decoupling required |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-voltage operation | Functional down to VCC = 1.0 V with guaranteed DC specs from 1.2 V - enables direct interface with 1.2 V/1.8 V I/O domains |
| TTL-input compatibility | Accepts TTL logic levels when VCC ≥ 2.7 V - simplifies integration with legacy 5 V or 3.3 V microcontrollers |
| Edge-triggered synchronization | Single CP edge loads all eight registers simultaneously - ensures deterministic timing for address/data capture |
| Output ground bounce (VOLP) | Typical 0.8 V @ VCC = 3.3 V - quantified noise margin helps PCB layout planning for noise-sensitive analog sections |
| Pin/function compatibility | Direct replacement for 74HC377 and 74HCT377 - allows drop-in upgrade to lower voltage and reduced power |
Applications

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74LV377D,112 | Same die, SO-20 package (7.5 mm body width); higher thermal resistance than SSOP | Preferred where board space allows larger footprint and reflow compatibility with SOIC standards is required | Select for ease of manual soldering or legacy SOIC-compatible layouts |
| SN74LV377APWR | Texas Instruments variant; identical AC/DC specs, same SSOP-20 (PW) package; RoHS-compliant marking | Drop-in alternative with identical pinout and timing; TI's qualification includes extended automotive AEC-Q100 Grade 2 | Choose for automotive-grade traceability or TI-specific supply chain continuity |
Compared with 74LV377DB,112, the 74LV377D,112 offers easier handling but larger PCB area, while SN74LV377APWR provides identical functionality with automotive qualification-neither requires PCB redesign, but only SN74LV377APWR adds AEC-Q100 compliance for harsh-environment deployment.

FAQ
What is the minimum supply voltage at which 74LV377DB,112 guarantees functional operation?
The 74LV377DB,112 is guaranteed to function down to VCC = 1.0 V, with input levels referenced to GND or VCC. However, DC electrical characteristics-including VIH, VIL, VOH, and VOL-are fully specified only from VCC = 1.2 V to 3.6 V. Below 1.2 V, operation is functional but not characterized for timing or noise margins.
Does 74LV377DB,112 support true TTL input levels across its full voltage range?
No-74LV377DB,112 accepts TTL input levels only when VCC is between 2.7 V and 3.6 V. At those voltages, VIH(min) = 2.0 V and VIL(max) = 0.8 V meet standard TTL thresholds. At VCC < 2.7 V, input thresholds scale proportionally (e.g., VIH = 0.9 V at VCC = 1.2 V), so TTL compatibility is not maintained below 2.7 V.
Can 74LV377DB,112 replace 74HC377 in an existing design without modifications?
Yes-74LV377DB,112 is pin and function compatible with 74HC377 and 74HCT377. It uses the same SSOP-20 footprint and logic behavior. However, verify that VCC is within 1.0–3.6 V (not 2–6 V like HC), and confirm that output drive (±25 mA) and propagation delay (13 ns @ 3.3 V) meet timing margins in your specific circuit.
What is the significance of the 'DB' suffix in 74LV377DB,112?
The 'DB' suffix identifies the SSOP-20 package type (SOT339-1) per NXP's ordering nomenclature. 'D' denotes SO-20, 'DB' denotes SSOP-20, 'PW' denotes TSSOP-20, and 'N' denotes DIP-20. The ',112' indicates tape-and-reel packaging with standard moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1) and industrial temperature grading.
How does the data enable (E) input affect timing behavior in 74LV377DB,112?
The E input must be stable for at least the setup time (tsu = 13 ns min @ VCC = 3.3 V) before the LOW-to-HIGH CP transition. When E is LOW, Dn values are latched to Qn on the CP edge; when E is HIGH, Qn retains its previous state regardless of CP activity. This enables selective register updates without gating the clock.
