Product details
Overview
SN74ABT377APWR from Texas Instruments is an octal positive-edge-triggered D-type flip-flop with clock enable, designed for high-speed 5-V digital logic systems. It features 8-bit storage, ±32-mA/±64-mA high-drive outputs, 150-MHz maximum clock frequency, and operates from –40°C to 85°C. It is used in buffer registers, shift registers, and pattern generators in industrial control and data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the SN74ABT377APWR datasheet, SN74ABT377APWR pinout, SN74ABT377APWR application, or SN74ABT377APWR equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, TSSOP-20 package details, timing parameters (tsu = 2 ns, th = 1.2 ns), output drive capability, and real-world use cases - all confirmed from TI's official SCBS156E datasheet and packaging addendum.
Technical Context
This device implements eight independent D-type latches synchronized to the rising edge of CLK, enabled only when CLKEN is low. Each flip-flop transfers D-input data to Q-output on CLK↑ under valid setup/hold timing, with no response to CLK transitions when CLKEN is high.
Its EPIC-IIB BiCMOS process enables low power dissipation while delivering TTL-compatible voltage thresholds (VIH = 2 V, VIL = 0.8 V), robust latch-up immunity (>500 mA), and ground-bounce suppression (VOLP < 1 V at 5 V).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Function | Octal D-type flip-flop with clock enable (CLKEN active-low) |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - compatible with standard 5-V TTL and CMOS systems |
| Max Clock Frequency | 150 MHz - supports high-throughput register staging in fast control paths |
| Output Drive | –32 mA IOH / +64 mA IOL - drives heavy capacitive loads or multiple TTL inputs without buffers |
| Propagation Delay | tPLH/tPHL ≤ 6.5 ns (typ. 4.5 ns) at 5 V, CL = 50 pF - ensures tight timing margins in synchronous designs |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for commercial and industrial ambient environments |
| Input Thresholds | VIH = 2.0 V, VIL = 0.8 V - fully interoperable with standard TTL logic families |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-20 (PW) package: 6.95 mm × 4.4 mm × 1.2 mm body, 0.65 mm lead pitch, exposed pad not present, RoHS-compliant NiPdAu finish, MSL Level-1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | CLKEN | Active-low clock enable - disables clocking when high, preventing spurious state changes |
| 2–9 | 1D–8D | Data inputs for each of eight flip-flops - sampled on next CLK↑ if CLKEN is low |
| 10 | GND | Ground reference - must be low-impedance return path for all switching currents |
| 11 | VCC | 5-V supply - decoupling capacitor required within 1 cm for stable high-speed operation |
| 12–19 | 1Q–8Q | Complementary registered outputs - retain state between clock edges, high-drive capable |
| 20 | CLK | Positive-edge-triggered clock input - edge-sensitive, not level-sensitive; immune to slow transitions |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High-Drive Outputs | –32 mA IOH / +64 mA IOL - eliminates need for external bus drivers in dense logic interfaces |
| Low Ground Bounce | VOLP < 1 V at 5 V - minimizes noise coupling into adjacent signals during simultaneous switching |
| Latch-Up Immunity | >500 mA per JEDEC JESD-17 - ensures robustness in noisy industrial power environments |
| ESD Protection | >2000 V HBM, >200 V MM - withstands handling and board-level ESD events without damage |
| BiCMOS Process | EPIC-IIB - achieves TTL speed with CMOS-like static power efficiency (ICC < 250 µA) |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Expansion | Test Equipment Pattern Generator |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ABT574APWR | Octal D-type transparent latch (no clock enable); identical TSSOP-20 package and drive strength | Latch-based sampling instead of edge-triggered registration; requires separate enable strobe | Choose when asynchronous data capture is needed; avoid if strict CLK↑ synchronization is required |
| 74ACT377PWRE4 | Same function but ACT family: lower drive (–24/+24 mA), higher ICC (30 mA), same 150-MHz fmax | Higher power consumption and reduced fanout capability; less suitable for driving long traces or multiple loads | Prefer SN74ABT377APWR for high-drive, low-noise, or low-power-critical 5-V systems |
Compared with SN74ABT574APWR and 74ACT377PWRE4, the SN74ABT377APWR uniquely combines clock-enable control, 64-mA sink capability, and sub-7 ns propagation delay - making it optimal for noise-sensitive, high-fanout, edge-triggered register applications where timing precision and drive strength are jointly critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by SN74ABT377APWR?
The SN74ABT377APWR supports a maximum clock frequency of 150 MHz under recommended operating conditions (VCC = 5 V, TA = 25°C, CL = 50 pF). This rating is validated across the full industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), with timing margins maintained via guaranteed setup (2 ns) and hold (1.2 ns) times.
Does SN74ABT377APWR require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on unused inputs?
Yes - per TI's SCBS156E datasheet Note 3, all unused inputs of SN74ABT377APWR must be held statically high or low to prevent floating states that could cause excessive ICC or unintended switching. CLKEN, D inputs, and CLK should never be left unconnected; tie-off resistors (e.g., 10 kΩ to VCC or GND) are recommended for unused D inputs.
What is the thermal performance of SN74ABT377APWR in its TSSOP-20 (PW) package?
The SN74ABT377APWR in TSSOP-20 (PW) package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 128°C/W, as specified in the absolute maximum ratings table. This value assumes standard JEDEC PCB mounting (2-layer board, 1-in² copper). For sustained high-current operation, thermal relief via PCB copper pour under pin 10 (GND) and pin 11 (VCC) is advised.
Can SN74ABT377APWR drive standard TTL loads directly?
Yes - SN74ABT377APWR is explicitly designed for TTL compatibility. Its output drive strength (–32 mA IOH, +64 mA IOL) exceeds standard TTL requirements, allowing it to drive up to 10 standard TTL inputs (each requiring –1.6 mA IOH / +0.4 mA IIL) without external buffers, while maintaining VOH ≥ 2.0 V and VOL ≤ 0.55 V.
Is SN74ABT377APWR pin-compatible with other members of the ABT377 family?
Yes - SN74ABT377APWR shares identical pinout and logic functionality with all SN74ABT377A variants (e.g., SN74ABT377ADBR, SN74ABT377ADWR) in the same package type. The PW (TSSOP-20) footprint matches TI's documented PW0020A outline, and the pin assignments (CLKEN, D1–D8, GND, VCC, Q1–Q8, CLK) are consistent across all TSSOP-packaged ABT377A devices.
