Product details
Overview
CY74FCT377ATSOCTE4 from Texas Instruments is an 8-bit edge-triggered D-type register with clock enable, designed for synchronous data latching in address/data bus interfaces. It features 7.2 ns propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL), 64 mA sink / 32 mA source output drive, and Ioff partial-power-down support. Used in industrial control backplanes and legacy TTL-compatible memory interface circuits.
For engineers reviewing the CY74FCT377ATSOCTE4 datasheet, CY74FCT377ATSOCTE4 pinout, CY74FCT377ATSOCTE4 application, or CY74FCT377ATSOCTE4 equivalent, key selection criteria include clock-enable timing (tsu = 3.5 ns, th = 1.5 ns), SOIC-20 package compatibility, −40°C to 85°C operating range, and FCT-family TTL-level interoperability.
Technical Context
This device 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, with setup/hold timing referenced to that edge.
It integrates edge-rate control circuitry to reduce switching noise, supports Ioff for live-insertion and partial-power-down operation, and maintains matched rise/fall times. Input thresholds comply fully with TTL logic levels (VIH = 2 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max), ensuring seamless interfacing with legacy 5-V systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Propagation Delay | 7.2 ns max (tPLH/tPHL); ensures tight timing margin in 10–15 MHz synchronous bus applications. |
| Output Drive | 64 mA sink / 32 mA source; drives heavy capacitive loads or multiple TTL inputs without external buffers. |
| Supply Voltage | 4.75 V to 5.25 V; operates reliably across standard 5-V ±5% rail tolerances. |
| Input Thresholds | VIH ≥ 2 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V; fully compatible with TTL input logic levels, eliminating level-shifting needs. |
| Ioff Current | ±1 µA at VCC = 0 V; prevents backflow current during partial power-down, protecting powered subsystems. |
| ESD Protection | 2000-V HBM, 200-V MM, 1000-V CDM; meets industrial-grade robustness requirements for board-level handling. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +85°C; qualified for extended-temperature industrial environments. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOIC-20 (DW), body size 12.83 mm × 5.3 mm, 1.27 mm pitch, RoHS-compliant NiPdAu lead finish, MSL Level-1 (unlimited reflow).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | CE | Active-low clock enable; must be stable 3.5 ns before CP↑ for predictable register load behavior. |
| 2–9 | D0–D7 | Asynchronous data inputs; sampled one setup time (2 ns) before CP↑ edge. |
| 10 | GND | Ground reference for all internal logic and output drivers. |
| 11 | VCC | 5-V supply input; decoupling capacitor required within 1 cm of this pin. |
| 12–19 | O0–O7 | Registered outputs; high-impedance state not supported-outputs are always driven (non-3-state). |
| 20 | CP | Buffered clock input; low-to-high transition triggers simultaneous latch of all D inputs to O outputs. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Edge-Rate Controlled Outputs | Reduced di/dt minimizes simultaneous switching noise (SSN) in dense PCB layouts. |
| Ioff Partial-Power-Down Support | Enables safe insertion/removal in hot-swap backplane systems without damaging adjacent powered ICs. |
| TTL-Compatible Input/Output Levels | Eliminates need for level translators when interfacing with legacy 74LS/74ALS logic families. |
| Matched Rise/Fall Times | Ensures symmetrical signal edges, reducing jitter accumulation in cascaded register chains. |
| Full Edge-Triggered Architecture | Guarantees deterministic sampling-no metastability risk from asynchronous CE assertion relative to CP. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 8-bit synchronous register applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY74FCT377TQCT | 7.2 ns speed grade in QSOP-20; same electrical specs but 4.4 mm × 6.5 mm footprint vs SOIC's 12.8 mm × 7.5 mm. | Preferred for space-constrained PCBs; thermal resistance higher (68°C/W vs 58°C/W), limiting high-duty-cycle use. | Select when board area is critical and thermal derating is acceptable. |
| SN74FCT377NSR | Same function and timing, but TI-branded; identical SOIC-20 package, 7.2 ns, 64/32 mA drive, −40°C to 85°C. | No functional difference; differs only in part marking, packaging (tape-and-reel vs tube), and manufacturer branding. | Drop-in replacement with identical layout and performance-verify reel quantity and MSL rating match program needs. |
Compared with CY74FCT377ATSOCTE4, CY74FCT377TQCT offers smaller footprint at the cost of thermal performance, while SN74FCT377NSR provides identical functionality with TI's standard branding and logistics-both require no PCB changes but differ in sourcing channel and packaging format.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by CY74FCT377ATSOCTE4?
CY74FCT377ATSOCTE4 supports reliable operation up to 10 MHz under typical conditions. Its 7.2 ns propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL) and 3.5 ns setup time (tsu) allow it to meet timing closure in synchronous bus designs with ≥5 ns margin at 10 MHz, assuming proper PCB layout and load capacitance ≤50 pF per output.
Does CY74FCT377ATSOCTE4 support 3-state outputs?
No, CY74FCT377ATSOCTE4 does not provide 3-state outputs. It is a true registered latch with actively driven outputs (O0–O7) at all times-there is no output enable (OE) pin or high-impedance mode. For bus-sharing applications requiring tri-state capability, consider CY74FCT244T or similar octal buffers instead.
Can CY74FCT377ATSOCTE4 be used in partial-power-down systems?
Yes, CY74FCT377ATSOCTE4 supports partial-power-down via its Ioff feature. When VCC = 0 V, Ioff limits leakage to ±1 µA per I/O terminal, preventing damaging back-current flow into powered sections of the system-making it suitable for hot-swap and modular backplane architectures.
What is the recommended decoupling for CY74FCT377ATSOCTE4?
Place a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor between VCC (pin 11) and GND (pin 10), located within 1 cm of the SOIC-20 package. For systems with high switching activity, add a bulk 4.7 µF tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitor near the power entry point to suppress low-frequency rail droop.
Is CY74FCT377ATSOCTE4 pin-compatible with older 74LS377 devices?
CY74FCT377ATSOCTE4 is functionally and pinout-compatible with 74LS377 in SOIC-20 (DW) package, sharing identical pin assignments (CE, D0–D7, GND, VCC, O0–O7, CP). However, it delivers significantly higher drive strength (64/32 mA vs 8/0.4 mA) and faster timing (7.2 ns vs 25 ns), requiring verification of load capacitance and termination in legacy designs.
