MC74ACT377N

Flip Flops Overview

The MC74ACT377N is an octal D-type flip-flop from the onsemi 74ACT logic series, housed in a 20-pin DIP package. It features eight edge-triggered flip-flops with individual D inputs and Q outputs, alongside a common buffered Clock (CP) input. The device includes a Clock Enable (CE) function that controls data latching. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V, providing high-level output current of -24 mA and low-level output current of 24 mA. The propagation delay time is specified at 10 ns.

Flip Flops Feature Summary

• Contains eight edge-triggered D-type flip-flops with independent data inputs and outputs
• Includes a common buffered clock input for synchronized operation across all stages
• Features a clock enable control mechanism to manage data latching conditions

Flip Flops Applications

• Parallel-to-serial data conversion circuits
• Register file storage elements in digital systems
• State machine implementation in sequential logic designs

Flip Flops Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm pinout compatibility and electrical characteristics. Ensure the selected variant matches the required operating temperature range and package style for the target application environment. Cross-reference the ordering information with the latest datasheet revisions to avoid discrepancies in functional specifications or packaging details.

Flip Flops Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring multiple parallel data storage elements with synchronous clocking capabilities. The ACT series offers performance levels suitable for standard 5V logic interfaces. Consider the DIP package availability if through-hole mounting is necessary for prototyping or specific industrial applications requiring robust mechanical stability compared to surface-mount alternatives.

Flip Flops Part Context

This part belongs to the 74ACT family of high-speed CMOS logic devices manufactured by onsemi. The 74ACT series is designed to be compatible with standard 74LS TTL logic levels while offering faster switching speeds and lower power consumption. The octal configuration allows for efficient handling of byte-wide data paths in microprocessor-based systems and communication interfaces.
