Product details
Overview
CD74HCT377M96 from Texas Instruments is an octal D-type flip-flop with buffered common clock and data enable, operating at 4.5V–5.5V supply. It features 16 ns typical propagation delay (CL = 15 pF, VCC = 5 V, TA = 25 °C), ±25 mA output drive, and -55 °C to +125 °C operating temperature range. It is used in synchronous data latching and bus interface circuits in industrial control and test equipment.
For engineers reviewing the CD74HCT377M96 datasheet, CD74HCT377M96 pinout, CD74HCT377M96 application, or CD74HCT377M96 equivalent, this page delivers verified functional identity, SOIC-20 package mapping, timing-critical parameters (tSU = 12–18 ns, tW = 20–30 ns), LSTTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH ≥ 2 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V), and two validated alternative parts for industrial-grade logic design.
Technical Context
The CD74HCT377M96 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; otherwise, outputs hold their state regardless of data inputs or clock transitions.
Its HCT logic family ensures direct compatibility with LSTTL voltage levels while delivering CMOS power efficiency. Input leakage remains ≤±1 µA, quiescent current is ≤160 µA over full temperature range, and it supports fanout of 10 LSTTL loads at standard outputs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Family | HCT - TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH ≥ 2 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V) enable direct interfacing with legacy LSTTL systems without level shifters. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - Ensures stable operation across industrial 5 V rails with ±5% tolerance, excluding wider HC-range operation. |
| Propagation Delay (tPLH/tPHL) | 16 ns typical (CL = 15 pF, VCC = 5 V, TA = 25 °C) - Enables reliable operation up to 50 MHz maximum clock frequency under specified load conditions. |
| Set-up Time (tSU) | 12 ns min (25 °C), 15 ns min (-40 °C to +85 °C), 18 ns min (-55 °C to +125 °C) - Defines minimum data stability window before CP rising edge for guaranteed capture. |
| Hold Time (tH) | 3 ns min (data-to-CP), 5 ns min (E-to-CP) - Specifies shortest time data/enable must remain stable after CP edge to prevent metastability. |
| Output Drive Capability | ±25 mA per output - Supports direct driving of multiple LSTTL inputs or moderate capacitive loads without external buffers. |
| Operating Temperature | -55 °C to +125 °C - Qualified for extended industrial, aerospace, and automotive under-hood applications requiring wide thermal margin. |
Pinout & Package
CD74HCT377M96 is housed in a 20-pin SOIC (DW) package, 7.5 mm × 12.8 mm body size, 1.27 mm lead pitch, 2.65 mm max height, RoHS-compliant NiPdAu lead finish, MSL Level-1 (unlimited floor life).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (E) | Data Enable (active-low) | Global control enabling simultaneous loading of all eight D inputs on next CP rising edge; high = hold state. |
| 2–9 (D0–D7) | Data Inputs | Asynchronous parallel data inputs; sampled only when E = low and CP rises. |
| 10 (GND) | Ground Reference | Primary return path for logic and output currents; requires low-impedance PCB connection to minimize noise coupling. |
| 11–18 (Q0–Q7) | Flip-Flop Outputs | Registered, non-inverted outputs reflecting Dn state captured at prior CP edge (when E was low). |
| 19 (CP) | Clock Input | Buffered positive-edge-triggered clock; all eight flip-flops share this single synchronized timing reference. |
| 20 (VCC) | Power Supply | 5 V nominal supply input; decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF ceramic) required within 10 mm of pin for stable switching performance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Buffered Common Clock (CP) | Reduces clock skew across all eight flip-flops, ensuring deterministic synchronous behavior in multi-bit latching applications. |
| Buffered Inputs (Dn, E) | Improves noise immunity and drive capability, allowing direct connection to high-capacitance buses or long traces without signal degradation. |
| LSTTL-Compatible Input Thresholds | VIH ≥ 2 V (min), VIL ≤ 0.8 V (max) at VCC = 5 V - eliminates need for external level translation when interfacing with 74LS or 74ALS families. |
| Balanced Propagation Delay & Transition Times | Minimizes duty cycle distortion on Q outputs, critical for clock distribution or feedback timing paths in closed-loop digital systems. |
| Wide Operating Temperature Range | -55 °C to +125 °C - enables use in harsh environments including motor drives, avionics, and downhole instrumentation without derating. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Expansion | Automated Test Equipment (ATE) Pattern Generation |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal D-type flip-flop with data enable applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74HCT377N | PDIP-20 package; identical electrical specs and pinout; higher thermal resistance (θJA = 69 °C/W vs. 58 °C/W for SOIC). | Suitable for prototyping or low-volume through-hole assembly; less suitable for high-density or thermally constrained PCBs. | Select SN74HCT377N only when manual soldering or socket-based testing is required. |
| CD74HCT377M | Same SOIC-20 package but marked as Obsolete by TI; no tape-and-reel availability (SPQ = -); last-time-buy status confirmed. | Not recommended for new designs due to discontinuation risk and lack of volume supply assurance. | Prefer CD74HCT377M96 for production programs requiring guaranteed long-term sourcing and automated placement support. |
Compared with SN74HCT377N and CD74HCT377M, the CD74HCT377M96 offers optimal balance of industrial temperature rating, surface-mount manufacturability, tape-and-reel logistics (2000 pcs/reel), and active production status - making it the preferred choice for volume OEM deployments.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by CD74HCT377M96?
The CD74HCT377M96 supports a maximum clock frequency of 25 MHz at 25 °C, 20 MHz over -40 °C to +85 °C, and 16 MHz across its full -55 °C to +125 °C operating range. These values assume CL = 15 pF load and proper decoupling; actual achievable frequency depends on board layout and signal integrity.
Does CD74HCT377M96 require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on its inputs?
No, the CD74HCT377M96 does not require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on its inputs. Its CMOS inputs exhibit ≤±1 µA leakage current and defined VIH/VIL thresholds; however, unused inputs (especially E and CP) should be tied to VCC or GND to prevent floating states and unintended toggling.
Can CD74HCT377M96 operate at 3.3 V supply voltage?
No, CD74HCT377M96 is not rated for 3.3 V operation. Its HCT family specification mandates 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply; operation below 4.5 V may result in undefined logic levels, increased propagation delay, or failure to meet VIH/VIL thresholds. For 3.3 V systems, consider HC-family variants like CD74HC377M96 instead.
What is the meaning of the "96" suffix in CD74HCT377M96?
The "96" suffix in CD74HCT377M96 indicates tape-and-reel packaging: 2000 units per large reel, compatible with automated SMT placement equipment. This distinguishes it from tube-packaged versions (e.g., CD74HCT377M) and confirms its suitability for high-volume manufacturing.
How does the Data Enable (E) pin function in CD74HCT377M96?
In CD74HCT377M96, the active-low Data Enable (pin 1) controls whether data is loaded: when E = low, all eight D inputs are latched on the next rising edge of CP; when E = high, Q outputs retain their current state regardless of D or CP activity - enabling selective, synchronized updates without disrupting ongoing operations.
