Product details
Overview
CD74HC377PW from Texas Instruments is an octal D-type flip-flop with buffered common clock and data enable, operating across 2V–6V supply range. It features 14 ns typical propagation delay (CL = 15 pF, VCC = 5 V), ±25 mA output drive, and -55°C to +125°C industrial temperature range. Used in synchronous data latching for bus interface and control logic in embedded controllers.
For engineers reviewing the CD74HC377PW datasheet, CD74HC377PW pinout, CD74HC377PW application, or CD74HC377PW equivalent, this page delivers verified functional identity, TSSOP-20 package mapping, timing parameters under full temperature range, and validated alternatives for logic-level translation and high-reliability latching.
Technical Context
The CD74HC377PW implements eight edge-triggered D flip-flops sharing a single buffered clock (CP) and a common active-low Data Enable (E). All outputs update synchronously on the rising edge of CP when E is low - no asynchronous set/reset is provided.
Its HC-family CMOS design ensures high noise immunity (NIL/NIH = 30% of VCC at 5 V), rail-to-rail input thresholds (VIH = 1.5 V min at 2 V, 4.2 V min at 6 V), and low quiescent current (ICC ≤ 160 µA over full temperature range).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Family | High-speed CMOS (HC), not TTL-compatible - requires 2V–6V supply and CMOS-level inputs |
| Function | Octal positive-edge-triggered D-type flip-flop with shared clock and global data enable |
| Propagation Delay | 14 ns typical (CL = 15 pF, VCC = 5 V, TA = 25°C); 53 ns max at -55°C to +125°C |
| Operating Temperature | -55°C to +125°C - qualified for extended industrial and aerospace environments |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2V to 6V - supports mixed-voltage system interfacing and battery-backed operation |
| Output Drive | ±25 mA per output - sufficient to drive 10 LSTTL loads or directly interface with 74LVC buffers |
| Input Capacitance | 10 pF - low loading enables high-fanout clock distribution without signal degradation |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-20 package (PW), 0.65 mm pitch, 4.4 mm × 6.5 mm body, 1.2 mm max height, JEDEC MO-153 compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (E) | Data Enable | Active-low global enable - all flip-flops hold state when E = high |
| 2–9 (D0–D7) | Data Inputs | Asynchronous parallel data inputs feeding D-inputs of respective flip-flops |
| 10 (GND) | Ground | Reference return path for all logic and power currents |
| 11–18 (Q0–Q7) | Outputs | Registered, non-inverted outputs synchronized to CP rising edge |
| 19 (CP) | Clock Input | Buffered positive-edge-triggered clock - fanout optimized for low skew |
| 20 (VCC) | Supply | Primary power rail - must be decoupled locally due to switching current transients |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Buffered common clock | Reduces clock skew across all eight flip-flops and improves timing margin in multi-bit latching |
| Balanced propagation & transition times | Minimizes pulse-width distortion and ensures clean setup/hold windows for downstream logic |
| Wide supply range (2V–6V) | Enables direct interfacing with 3.3V microcontrollers, 5V legacy peripherals, and 2.5V FPGAs |
| High noise immunity (30% VCC) | Supports robust operation in electrically noisy industrial control cabinets without added filtering |
| Low dynamic power (CPD = 31 pF) | Reduces switching power by >70% vs. equivalent LS-TTL parts at 5 MHz operation |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Expansion | Automotive Body Control Module |
|---|---|

Use Value: Meets DO-160E Section 22 thermal and Section 20 EMC requirements via inherent CMOS noise rejection and wide-temp qualification. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74HC377N | PDIP-20 package; identical electrical specs but larger footprint and higher θJA (69°C/W vs. 83°C/W) | Suitable for prototyping or through-hole assembly; not recommended for space-constrained or thermally dense PCBs | Select when manual soldering, breadboarding, or legacy board compatibility is required |
| CD74HC377PWR | Same TSSOP-20 package and specs; differs only in tape-and-reel packaging (2000 pcs/reel vs. tube) | Identical functional and thermal behavior - direct drop-in replacement for automated SMT production | Prefer for high-volume manufacturing where reel-fed placement and traceable lot control are mandatory |
Compared with SN74HC377N and CD74HC377PWR, the CD74HC377PW offers identical logic functionality and DC/AC performance but is marked obsolete by TI - CD74HC377PWR is the recommended production variant for new designs requiring TSSOP-20 form factor and volume procurement support.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the CD74HC377PW?
The CD74HC377PW supports up to 23 MHz maximum clock frequency at VCC = 6 V and TA = -55°C to +125°C, dropping to 20 MHz at 4.5 V and full temperature range. At 5 V and 25°C, it achieves 60 MHz - verified per TI datasheet SCHS184C switching specifications under CL = 15 pF load.
Is the CD74HC377PW pin-compatible with the CD74HCT377PW?
No - the CD74HC377PW and CD74HCT377PW share identical pinout and package (TSSOP-20), but differ in input threshold compatibility: CD74HC377PW requires CMOS-level inputs (VIH ≥ 3.15 V at 4.5 V), while CD74HCT377PW accepts standard TTL inputs (VIH ≥ 2.0 V). Swapping them may cause logic misreads without level-shifting.
Does the CD74HC377PW include internal ESD protection?
Yes - the CD74HC377PW incorporates built-in ESD protection diodes on all inputs and outputs, rated per Human Body Model (HBM) to ±2000 V. However, TI cautions that the device remains sensitive to electrostatic discharge, and proper IC handling procedures (grounded workstations, anti-static packaging) must be followed during assembly and handling.
Can the CD74HC377PW operate at 3.3V supply voltage?
Yes - the CD74HC377PW is fully specified for 2V–6V operation, including 3.3V. At VCC = 3.3V, VIH(min) = 2.1 V and VIL(max) = 1.1 V per datasheet; propagation delay increases to ~22 ns (typical, CL = 15 pF), and output drive remains ±25 mA, making it suitable for direct interfacing with 3.3V microcontrollers.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the CD74HC377PW in its TSSOP-20 package?
The CD74HC377PW in TSSOP-20 (PW) package has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 83°C/W, as specified in TI's SCHS184C datasheet. This value assumes standard JEDEC 2-layer board layout; actual thermal performance improves with copper pour, thermal vias, and airflow - critical for sustained operation near 125°C ambient.
