Product details
Overview
CY74FCT377ATQCT from Texas Instruments is an 8-bit edge-triggered D-type flip-flop register with clock enable (CE), designed for synchronous data latching in TTL-compatible digital systems. It features 64-mA sink / 32-mA source output drive, 7.2-ns propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL), and operates over –40°C to +85°C. Used in address/data synchronization, bus interface buffering, and control logic sequencing.
For engineers reviewing the CY74FCT377ATQCT datasheet, CY74FCT377ATQCT pinout, CY74FCT377ATQCT application, or CY74FCT377ATQCT equivalent, key selection criteria include Ioff-enabled partial-power-down support, matched rise/fall times for EMI reduction, edge-rate control for noise immunity, and QSOP-20 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The CY74FCT377ATQCT implements eight independent D-type flip-flops sharing a common buffered clock (CP) and active-low clock enable (CE). All outputs update synchronously on the low-to-high CP transition when CE is asserted low - requiring only one setup time stability for CE prior to clock edge.
It integrates Ioff circuitry that disables outputs during power-down to prevent backflow current, supports TTL-level inputs/outputs (VIH = 2 V min, VOL = 0.55 V max at 64 mA), and uses edge-rate control to limit di/dt and improve noise margin without external termination.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Function | 8-bit edge-triggered D-type register with clock enable |
| Propagation Delay | 7.2 ns max (tPLH/tPHL at VCC = 5 V, TA = 25°C) - enables reliable timing in 100-MHz system clocks |
| Output Drive | 64 mA sink / 32 mA source - drives heavy capacitive loads or multiple TTL inputs directly |
| Supply Voltage | 4.75 V to 5.25 V - tight tolerance ensures stable operation across industrial voltage rails |
| Ioff Support | Active at VCC = 0 V - blocks current flow during partial power-down, protecting powered subsystems |
| ESD Rating | 2000-V HBM, 200-V MM, 1000-V CDM - meets JEDEC JESD22-A114/A115/C101 for robust board handling |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded control and communications equipment |
Pinout & Package
Package: SSOP-20 (DBQ), 0.635-mm pitch, 7.2-mm width, RoHS-compliant NiPdAu lead finish, MSL Level-2-260°C-1 year.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (CE) | Clock Enable (active-low) | Enables synchronous loading only when low; must be stable ≥3.5 ns before CP↑ |
| 2–9 (D0–D7) | Data inputs | Independent D inputs sampled at CP↑; each requires ≥2 ns setup before clock edge |
| 10 (GND) | Ground reference | Primary return path for all logic and output currents; decoupling required within 5 mm |
| 11 (VCC) | Power supply | 5-V nominal supply; requires local 0.1-µF ceramic bypass capacitor adjacent to pin |
| 12–19 (O0–O7) | Registered outputs | Non-inverting Q outputs updated on CP↑; capable of driving 64 mA sink load |
| 20 (CP) | Clock input | Buffered edge-triggered clock; low-to-high transition latches all D inputs simultaneously |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Edge-Rate Controlled Outputs | Controlled slew rate reduces simultaneous switching noise (SSN) and improves signal integrity on shared buses |
| Ioff Partial-Power-Down | Outputs enter high-impedance state when VCC = 0 V, enabling safe hot-insertion and mixed-voltage domain isolation |
| Matched Rise/Fall Times | Ensures symmetrical waveform edges (tr ≈ tf), minimizing duty-cycle distortion in clock distribution paths |
| TTL-Compatible Interface | Accepts standard TTL VIH/VIL thresholds and delivers TTL VOH/VOL levels - eliminates level-shifter requirements |
| ESD Protection | Exceeds JESD22-A114 (2000-V HBM), allowing direct handling in non-ESD-controlled assembly environments |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Expansion | Automotive Body Control Module |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 8-bit registered latch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY74FCT377ATSOCT | Same logic, SOIC-20 package (7.5-mm width, 1.27-mm pitch); higher θJA (58°C/W vs. 68°C/W) | Better suited for through-hole prototyping or legacy wave-solder processes; lower pin density than SSOP | Select when board layout prioritizes manual rework, thermal margin over space, or existing SOIC footprint reuse. |
| SN74FCT377TQCT | Same function but FCT377T speed grade (5.2-ns delay); no Ioff support; 32-mA sink / 12-mA source drive | Limited to fully powered systems; unsuitable for partial-power-down architectures or hot-swap designs | Choose only if maximum speed is critical and power sequencing is strictly controlled across all rails. |
Compared with CY74FCT377ATQCT, CY74FCT377ATSOCT offers identical timing and Ioff but trades compact SSOP size for easier hand-soldering, while SN74FCT377TQCT sacrifices power-down safety and drive strength for faster propagation - making CY74FCT377ATQCT the optimal balance for industrial control and mixed-power-domain applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by CY74FCT377ATQCT?
CY74FCT377ATQCT supports a minimum clock pulse width (tw) of 6 ns (high or low), enabling reliable operation up to approximately 83 MHz in ideal conditions. Real-world maximum frequency depends on setup/hold timing margins, load capacitance, and PCB trace routing - with typical system-level use observed at ≤50 MHz for robust timing closure.
Does CY74FCT377ATQCT support hot-swap or partial-power-down operation?
Yes, CY74FCT377ATQCT includes Ioff circuitry that disables outputs when VCC = 0 V, preventing damaging current backflow during hot-swap or partial-power-down sequences. This feature is verified per datasheet Section "Ioff Supports Partial-Power-Down Mode Operation" and confirmed in absolute maximum ratings (Ioff ≤ ±1 µA at VCC = 0 V, VOUT = 4.5 V).
What is the pin 1 orientation for CY74FCT377ATQCT in tape-and-reel packaging?
CY74FCT377ATQCT in SSOP-20 (DBQ) tape-and-reel format uses Quadrant Q1 for pin 1 orientation, as specified in TI's Package Materials Information document dated 10-Aug-2026. This ensures consistent automated placement alignment during SMT assembly.
Can CY74FCT377ATQCT drive standard TTL loads directly?
Yes, CY74FCT377ATQCT is fully TTL-compatible: it accepts TTL input thresholds (VIH ≥ 2 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V) and delivers TTL output levels (VOH ≥ 2.4 V at –32 mA, VOL ≤ 0.55 V at 64 mA), enabling direct connection to legacy 74LS/74ALS devices without level shifters or pull-up resistors.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of CY74FCT377ATQCT in its QSOP package?
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) for CY74FCT377ATQCT in the SSOP-20 (DBQ) package is 68°C/W, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This value assumes standard JEDEC 2-layer board conditions (1-inch² copper pad, 2-oz copper) and guides thermal design for continuous operation at full output drive.
