Product details
Overview
74LV377N,112 from Philips Semiconductors is an octal D-type flip-flop with active-low data enable and positive-edge clock triggering, operating from 1.0 V to 3.6 V supply. It features eight synchronized storage elements, 13 ns propagation delay at 3.3 V, 77 MHz max clock frequency, and TTL-input compatibility at VCC ≥ 2.7 V - used in addressable register and data synchronization circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 74LV377N,112 datasheet, 74LV377N,112 pinout, 74LV377N,112 application, or 74LV377N,112 equivalent, key selection criteria include low-voltage operation (1.0–3.6 V), edge-triggered register behavior, data enable timing constraints (tsu(E) = 13 ns @ 3.3 V), output drive capability (±25 mA), and DIP-20 package compatibility with legacy 74HC/HCT377 layouts.
Technical Context
The 74LV377N,112 implements eight independent D-type latches sharing a common clock (CP) and a single active-low enable (E). All Q outputs update synchronously on the LOW-to-HIGH transition of CP when E is LOW; otherwise outputs retain state. Input setup/hold times are voltage-dependent: tsu(Dn) = 13 ns and tth(Dn) = 5 ns at VCC = 3.3 V.
It uses low-voltage CMOS technology with TTL-level input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V, VIL = 0.8 V @ VCC = 3.3 V), ground bounce (VOLP) ≤ 0.8 V, and output undershoot (VOHV) ≤ 2.0 V. Power dissipation capacitance is 20 pF per flip-flop, enabling predictable dynamic power calculation via PD = CPD × VCC² × fi.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 1.0 V to 3.6 V - supports battery-powered and mixed-voltage logic systems without level shifters |
| tPHL/tPLH | 13 ns @ VCC = 3.3 V, CL = 15 pF - defines maximum achievable register throughput in synchronous control paths |
| fmax | 77 MHz @ VCC = 3.3 V - sets upper clock rate limit for address/data latching in high-speed digital interfaces |
| IOH/IOL | ±25 mA - drives standard TTL loads directly; sufficient for fan-out to 10+ 74LS inputs |
| tsu(E) | 13 ns @ VCC = 3.3 V - minimum time E must stabilize before CP rising edge to guarantee valid load operation |
| Input Capacitance | 3.5 pF - minimizes loading on preceding drivers and preserves signal integrity in dense PCB layouts |
| Power Dissipation Cap. | 20 pF per flip-flop - enables accurate dynamic power estimation in clocked register banks |
Pinout & Package
74LV377N,112 is supplied in a 20-pin plastic dual in-line package (DIP), SOT146-1 footprint, with 300-mil body width and through-hole mounting. Pin pitch is 2.54 mm; package meets JEDEC MS-001.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | E | Active-low data enable - must be LOW to load D inputs into Q outputs on next CP rising edge |
| 2,5,6,9,12,15,16,19 | Q0–Q7 | Registered outputs - retain value until next enabled clock edge; standard-output drive strength |
| 3,4,7,8,13,14,17,18 | D0–D7 | Data inputs - sampled one setup time before CP rising edge; TTL-compatible thresholds |
| 10 | GND | Ground reference - return path for all internal logic and output currents |
| 11 | CP | Positive-edge-triggered clock - rising edge initiates sampling and transfer if E is LOW |
| 20 | VCC | Supply voltage - powers all internal logic and output stages; decoupling capacitor required |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-voltage operation | Functional down to 1.0 V supply - enables direct interface with 1.2 V/1.8 V microcontrollers and FPGAs |
| TTL-input compatibility | Accepts standard TTL logic levels when VCC ≥ 2.7 V - eliminates need for external level translators in mixed-logic systems |
| Output ground bounce control | VOLP ≤ 0.8 V @ 3.3 V - reduces noise coupling into analog sections and improves signal integrity in mixed-signal boards |
| Synchronous data enable | Single E pin gates all eight registers - simplifies timing control in address/data bus latching applications |
| Pin/function compatibility | Drop-in replacement for 74HC377 and 74HCT377 - allows legacy design upgrades without PCB changes |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal D-type register applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74HC377N,652 | Higher VCC range (2–6 V); slower tPLH = 25 ns @ 4.5 V; no TTL-input compatibility below 4.5 V | Requires ≥4.5 V for full-speed operation; unsuitable for sub-2.7 V systems | Select when operating above 4.5 V and legacy HC logic family consistency is required |
| SN74LV377APWR | Same electrical specs; TSSOP-20 package (SOT360-1); 4.4 mm body width; surface-mount only | Not pin-compatible with DIP-20; requires PCB redesign for SMT assembly | Select for space-constrained designs where surface-mount is mandatory and thermal performance is prioritized |
Compared with 74LV377N,112, the 74HC377N,652 offers wider voltage tolerance but lacks low-voltage capability and TTL compatibility below 4.5 V, while SN74LV377APWR matches all electrical behavior but mandates SMT layout changes - making 74LV377N,112 optimal for through-hole, low-voltage, and drop-in upgrade scenarios.

FAQ
What is the minimum supply voltage for guaranteed operation of the 74LV377N,112?
The 74LV377N,112 is guaranteed to function down to VCC = 1.0 V with input levels referenced to GND or VCC. DC electrical characteristics are fully specified from VCC = 1.2 V to 3.6 V, and AC timing (e.g., tPLH, fmax) is characterized at 1.2 V, 2.0 V, 2.7 V, and 3.3 V. Below 1.2 V, only basic functionality is assured.
Is the 74LV377N,112 pin-compatible with the 74HC377?
Yes, the 74LV377N,112 is pin and function compatible with the 74HC377 and 74HCT377. All 20 pins match in position and logical role, including E, CP, D0–D7, Q0–Q7, VCC, and GND. This allows direct replacement in existing DIP-20 layouts without PCB modification, provided voltage and timing requirements align.
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the 74LV377N,112 at 3.3 V?
The 74LV377N,112 supports a maximum clock frequency of 77 MHz at VCC = 3.3 V, as specified in the Quick Reference Data table. This value is measured under standard conditions (Tamb = 25°C, CL = 15 pF) and represents the highest reliable toggle rate for synchronous register updates.
Does the 74LV377N,112 support TTL-level inputs?
Yes, the 74LV377N,112 accepts TTL input voltage levels when VCC is between 2.7 V and 3.6 V. Specifically, VIH is guaranteed ≥2.0 V and VIL ≤0.8 V under those conditions, matching standard TTL thresholds. At lower VCC, input thresholds scale proportionally (e.g., VIH = 0.7×VCC).
What is the output drive capability of the 74LV377N,112?
The 74LV377N,112 provides standard-output drive capability: ±25 mA per output pin (IO = ±25 mA) over the full operating temperature range. This allows direct interfacing with multiple TTL loads or driving LEDs with appropriate current-limiting resistors, without external buffer stages.
