SN74HC377ANS

Flip Flops Overview

The SN74HC377ANS is an octal D-type flip-flop from the Texas Instruments HC logic family, housed in a 20-pin PDIP package. It features eight non-inverting outputs triggered by the positive edge of the clock signal and includes a clock enable input for data control. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 2 V to 6 V, supporting propagation delays up to 160 ns at 2 V. It functions reliably across an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Flip Flops Feature Summary

• Contains eight independent D-type flip-flops with positive-edge triggering
• Includes a dedicated clock enable input for synchronous data gating
• Provides eight non-inverting outputs compatible with CMOS loads

Flip Flops Applications

• Parallel-to-serial data conversion circuits
• General-purpose register storage applications
• Shift register configurations

Flip Flops Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'ANS' against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm the exact package type and tape/reel specifications. Ensure the component meets RoHS compliance requirements for your target market. Confirm availability status directly with authorized distributors as stock levels fluctuate.

Flip Flops Selection Notes

Select this component when an octal storage element with a clock enable function is required in through-hole designs. The HC series offers standard CMOS performance suitable for general digital logic applications. Consider the SN74HCT377N if TTL-compatible input thresholds are necessary instead of standard CMOS levels.

Flip Flops Part Context

This part belongs to the widely used 74HC series of high-speed CMOS logic devices. The octal flip-flop configuration allows for efficient handling of multi-bit data streams. It serves as a fundamental building block for sequential logic systems requiring parallel data retention or controlled shifting operations.

Flip Flops Replacement Considerations

The SN74HC377DWR is a surface-mount equivalent in the same logic family. For through-hole alternatives with different input threshold characteristics, the SN74HCT377N provides TTL-compatible inputs while maintaining similar functional behavior.
