ON Semiconductor MC74AC377DWR2 Product Overview

The MC74AC377DWR2 is a high-performance CMOS octal D-type flip-flop with clock enable from ON Semiconductor, designed for use in a wide array of applications that require storage and retrieval of 8-bit data. This integrated circuit is part of the advanced high-speed CMOS family and offers a significant upgrade in performance over its TTL counterparts while maintaining the low power consumption that CMOS technology is known for.

The device features eight edge-triggered flip-flops with individual D-type inputs and Q outputs. The common clock (CP) and master reset (MR) inputs control all flip-flops. The clock enable (CE) function is synchronized to the rising edge of the clock pulse, allowing the flip-flops to store the data present on the D inputs when both CE and CP are high. If CE is low, the data is retained in the flip-flops regardless of the CP input, providing users with enhanced control over data management.

The MC74AC377DWR2 offers a wide operating voltage range from 2V to 6V and is capable of sourcing or sinking 24 mA at the output. This flexibility makes it suitable for interfacing with both TTL and CMOS logic levels, ensuring compatibility with a broad range of digital systems. Additionally, the device is characterized for operation from -40°C to +85°C, ensuring reliable performance in various environmental conditions.

Packaged in a 20-SOIC wide body, the MC74AC377DWR2 is designed for surface mount technology, which is ideal for compact and high-density circuit designs. The product is also available in tape and reel packaging, making it suitable for automated assembly processes, thus reducing manufacturing costs and time.

ON Semiconductor's commitment to quality and performance is evident in the MC74AC377DWR2, making it a smart choice for designers looking to implement reliable data storage solutions in applications such as data processing, communication systems, and industrial control. With its combination of high-speed operation, low power consumption, and robust environmental tolerance, the MC74AC377DWR2 stands out as a versatile component in the digital electronics domain.
