Product details
Overview
CY74FCT377CTSOCTE4 from Texas Instruments is an 8-bit edge-triggered D-type register IC with clock enable, designed for synchronous data latching in address/data bus interfaces. It features 64-mA sink / 32-mA source drive strength, 5.2-ns propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL), and Ioff partial-power-down support. Used in industrial control backplanes and legacy TTL-compatible memory interface circuits.
For engineers reviewing the CY74FCT377CTSOCTE4 datasheet, CY74FCT377CTSOCTE4 pinout, CY74FCT377CTSOCTE4 application, or CY74FCT377CTSOCTE4 equivalent, key selection criteria include TTL-level compatibility, 20-pin SOIC package footprint, clock-enable–controlled edge-triggered operation, and guaranteed Ioff behavior at VCC = 0 V.
Technical Context
This device implements eight independent D-type flip-flops sharing a common buffered clock (CP) and clock-enable (CE) input. All outputs update synchronously on the low-to-high CP transition when CE is low, with setup/hold times of 2 ns (tsu) and 1.5 ns (th) respectively.
It uses FCT-family silicon with edge-rate control circuitry to reduce switching noise, matched rise/fall times, and full TTL input/output voltage compatibility (VIH = 2 V min, VOL = 0.55 V max at IOL = 64 mA). The Ioff feature disables outputs during power-down to prevent backflow current.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 8-bit register applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74FCT377TNSR | Same logic function, 5.2-ns delay, but rated for 0°C to 70°C only; no Ioff support | Lacks partial-power-down capability - unsuitable for hot-swap or mixed-voltage systems | Select only if operating temperature is strictly commercial grade and Ioff is not required |
| 74ACT377SCX | Higher VCC range (4.5–5.5 V), 8.5-ns delay, CMOS input; no Ioff or edge-rate control | CMOS inputs require pull-ups for open-wire reliability; higher propagation delay affects timing-critical paths | Choose when lower ICC (0.1 mA typical) outweighs need for noise immunity and Ioff |
Compared with CY74FCT377CTSOCTE4, SN74FCT377TNSR omits Ioff and industrial temperature rating, while 74ACT377SCX trades noise control and power-down safety for wider supply tolerance and lower static current - neither offers pin-to-pin or functional equivalence without layout or firmware revision.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by CY74FCT377CTSOCTE4?
CY74FCT377CTSOCTE4 supports a minimum clock pulse width of 7 ns (tw), enabling reliable operation up to approximately 70 MHz in ideal conditions. However, real-world timing margins - including setup/hold (tsu = 2 ns, th = 1.5 ns) and propagation delay (5.2 ns) - constrain practical use to ≤40 MHz in synchronous bus applications with trace-length-induced skew.
Does CY74FCT377CTSOCTE4 support partial power-down via Ioff?
Yes, CY74FCT377CTSOCTE4 includes Ioff circuitry that actively disables all outputs when VCC = 0 V, preventing reverse current flow from live buses into the unpowered device. This feature is validated per datasheet Section "Recommended Operating Conditions" and enables safe operation in hot-swap and multi-rail systems.
Is CY74FCT377CTSOCTE4 pin-compatible with older 74LS377 devices?
CY74FCT377CTSOCTE4 uses the same 20-pin SOIC (DW) footprint and identical pinout as 74LS377, including CE, CP, D0–D7, O0–O7, VCC, and GND assignments. However, it requires tighter VCC regulation (4.75–5.25 V vs. 4.75–5.5 V) and delivers higher drive strength - direct substitution is electrically valid but may require verification of bus loading and timing margins.
What is the meaning of "CT" in CY74FCT377CTSOCTE4?
The "CT" suffix in CY74FCT377CTSOCTE4 denotes the commercial-temperature, 5.2-ns speed grade variant of the FCT377 register family. It indicates guaranteed tPLH/tPHL ≤ 5.2 ns at VCC = 5 V and TA = 25°C, distinguishing it from "AT" (7.2 ns) and "T" (13 ns) variants - all share identical logic function and pinout.
Can CY74FCT377CTSOCTE4 drive standard TTL loads directly?
Yes, CY74FCT377CTSOCTE4 is fully TTL-compatible: its VOH (≥2.4 V at IOH = –32 mA) and VOL (≤0.55 V at IOL = 64 mA) meet or exceed TTL voltage thresholds, and its 64-mA sink capability exceeds standard TTL fan-out requirements. It can drive up to 16 standard TTL inputs per output without external buffers.
