CD74HC377M96

Overview

The CD74HC377M96 is a high-speed CMOS octal D-type flip-flop with 3-state outputs manufactured by Texas Instruments. It features separate clock inputs for each stage, allowing independent control of data latching. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 2V to 6V and includes an asynchronous master reset input that clears all outputs to a low state regardless of clock or data conditions. This component is designed for use in various digital logic applications requiring reliable data storage and output buffering.

Feature Summary

• Octal configuration providing eight independent D-type flip-flops within a single package
• Three-state outputs enabling direct bus line interfacing without external buffers
• Asynchronous master reset functionality ensuring immediate clearing of all stored data

Applications

• Digital signal processing systems requiring parallel data storage
• Microprocessor memory interface circuits for temporary data holding
• Industrial control systems utilizing sequential logic operations

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix M96 corresponds to the tape and reel packaging format when ordering. Confirm that the operating temperature range meets your system requirements as specified in the official datasheet. Ensure compatibility with your target voltage levels before integration into the final design.

Selection Notes

Select this component when an octal register with tri-state capability is required for bus-oriented architectures. Consider the propagation delay specifications relative to your system clock speed. Evaluate power consumption characteristics against other available logic families for optimal efficiency in low-power designs.

Part Context

This part belongs to the HC (High-speed CMOS) logic family from Texas Instruments, known for compatibility with standard TTL logic levels while offering improved speed and lower power consumption compared to older NMOS technologies. The CD prefix indicates it is a commercial grade device suitable for general-purpose electronic applications.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible substitutes include the SN74HC377 series variants. Verify electrical characteristics such as switching speeds and noise immunity match your application needs when cross-referencing alternative manufacturers' offerings.
