Product details
Overview
SN74F377ADWR from Texas Instruments is an octal D-type flip-flop with latched clock enable, designed for synchronous data latching in digital logic systems. It features eight independent positive-edge-triggered flip-flops, single-rail outputs, and operates at up to 110 MHz over 0°C to 70°C. Used in buffer/storage registers and shift registers requiring deterministic edge-triggered storage.
For engineers reviewing the SN74F377ADWR datasheet, SN74F377ADWR pinout, SN74F377ADWR application, or SN74F377ADWR equivalent, key selection criteria include clock enable latching behavior, 20-pin SOIC (DW) package compatibility, guaranteed 110 MHz max clock frequency, and TTL-level input/output thresholds under 5 V operation.
Technical Context
The SN74F377ADWR implements eight independent D-type latches synchronized to the rising edge of CLK only when CE is low; CE is internally latched to prevent metastability-induced false triggering. Its logic design ensures immunity to CE transitions during clock assertion, meeting ANSI/IEEE Std 91-1984 symbol conventions.
It operates strictly within 4.5 V–5.5 V supply range with VIH ≥ 2 V and VIL ≤ 0.8 V, delivering VOH ≥ 2.5 V at –1 mA and VOL ≤ 0.5 V at 20 mA sink current. Timing is characterized across temperature with 4 ns minimum pulse width and 4 ns setup time for CE-low condition.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Family | F-series TTL - ensures interoperability with legacy 74F logic and defined noise margins at 5 V |
| Max Clock Frequency | 110 MHz - supports high-speed register staging in pipeline control and address latching |
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - requires stable 5 V rail; not compatible with 3.3 V systems without level translation |
| Output Drive | 20 mA sink / –1 mA source - sufficient for direct TTL fanout (up to 10 74F loads) |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to 70°C - rated for commercial-grade environments, not extended industrial or automotive |
| Propagation Delay | 4–10.5 ns (tPLH/tPHL) - enables sub-10 ns timing-critical path insertion in synchronous designs |
Pinout & Package
SN74F377ADWR is housed in a 20-pin SOIC (DW) package, 7.5 mm wide, 12.8 mm long, 2.65 mm max height, with 1.27 mm pitch and RoHS-compliant NiPdAu lead finish. Moisture sensitivity level is Level-1 (unlimited floor life at ≤30°C/60% RH).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | CE (Clock Enable) | Latched active-low enable controlling all eight flip-flops; prevents spurious clocking on CE transients |
| 2–9, 11–18 | D1–D4, Q1–Q4, D5–D8, Q5–Q8 | Paired data inputs and non-inverted outputs per flip-flop; no complementary outputs provided |
| 10 | GND | Ground reference for logic and power return; must be low-impedance for noise immunity |
| 19 | VCC | +5 V supply pin; decoupling capacitor required near pin for transient current handling |
| 20 | CLK | Global positive-edge clock input; triggers all eight flip-flops simultaneously when CE = L |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Latched CE input | Eliminates race conditions caused by asynchronous CE transitions during clock assertion |
| Single-rail Q outputs | Reduces PCB trace count vs. dual-rail (Q/Q̅) devices; simplifies interface to downstream TTL loads |
| Guaranteed 110 MHz operation | Enables use in high-throughput data capture stages where cycle time ≤ 9.1 ns is required |
| TTL-compatible I/O thresholds | Ensures reliable interfacing with 74F, 74LS, and other 5 V logic families without external biasing |
Applications
| Buffer/Storage Register | Shift Register Stage |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Holding parallel data from an ADC or bus interface before CPU read. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Synchronous 8-bit data latch aligned to system clock edge with gated enable. Use Value: Prevents metastability and ensures clean setup/hold timing via latched CE and 4 ns min pulse width. | Use Scenario: One stage in a serial-to-parallel shift register driving LED displays or control lines. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Edge-triggered parallel load element accepting shifted data on CLK↑ when CE = L.

Use Value: Meets strict 4 ns setup/1 ns hold window for 8086-compatible bus protocols using TTL-level signaling. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ALS377AN | ALS-family; lower ICC (20 mA typ), higher VIH (2.0 V min), same 20-pin PDIP/SOIC footprint | Better noise margin and reduced power, but slower max fclock (50 MHz) and higher input capacitance | Select for lower power and improved noise immunity where speed ≤ 50 MHz suffices |
| SN74ACT377PW | ACT-family; 5 V CMOS; rail-to-rail VOH/VOL, 30 MHz max fclock, TSSOP-20 package | CMOS input thresholds (VIH = 3.5 V), incompatible with TTL drive without level shift; smaller footprint | Select for mixed-voltage systems needing 5 V CMOS compatibility and space-constrained layouts |
Compared with SN74F377ADWR, SN74ALS377AN trades speed for lower power and better noise rejection, while SN74ACT377PW shifts to CMOS logic thresholds and sacrifices frequency headroom for voltage flexibility and package density.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the SN74F377ADWR?
The SN74F377ADWR is characterized for operation up to 110 MHz under recommended conditions (VCC = 4.5 V to 5.5 V, TA = 0°C to 70°C). This maximum clock frequency is validated with CL = 50 pF and RL = 500 Ω load, and applies only when CE is held low during clock assertion. The SN74F377ADWR achieves this performance using F-series TTL circuitry optimized for speed and edge fidelity.
Does the SN74F377ADWR support 3.3 V operation?
No, the SN74F377ADWR does not support 3.3 V operation. Its absolute maximum supply voltage is 7 V, but recommended operation is strictly 4.5 V to 5.5 V. Input thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.0 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V) and output drive characteristics are specified only for 5 V TTL-compatible systems. Using the SN74F377ADWR with a 3.3 V supply risks undefined logic states and degraded timing margins.
What is the purpose of the latched CE input in the SN74F377ADWR?
The latched CE input in the SN74F377ADWR prevents false clocking caused by glitches or bounce on the enable line during clock transitions. Internally, CE is sampled and held before the clock edge, ensuring that only stable CE states determine whether data transfers occur on CLK↑. This behavior is explicitly documented in the function table and timing diagrams of the SN74F377ADWR datasheet and distinguishes it from non-latched enable variants.
Is the SN74F377ADWR pin-compatible with the SN74F377AN?
Yes, the SN74F377ADWR and SN74F377AN share identical pinouts and electrical specifications, differing only in package type: DW (SOIC-20) versus N (PDIP-20). Both use the same 20-pin layout with CE on pin 1, CLK on pin 20, VCC on pin 19, and GND on pin 10. This allows direct substitution in existing designs when transitioning from through-hole to surface-mount assembly, provided board layout accommodates SOIC dimensions.
What are the thermal and reliability qualifications for the SN74F377ADWR?
The SN74F377ADWR is characterized for operation from 0°C to 70°C ambient temperature and qualified per Texas Instruments' standard commercial-grade reliability protocols. It has a storage temperature range of –65°C to 150°C and moisture sensitivity level (MSL) rating of Level-1 (unlimited floor life at ≤30°C/60% RH). The SN74F377ADWR undergoes production testing per TI's standard warranty terms, with no burn-in or extended life testing implied unless specified separately.
