STMicroelectronics M74HC377M1R - Octal D-type Flip-Flop with Clock Enable

The M74HC377M1R is a high-speed CMOS octal D-type flip-flop integrated circuit manufactured by STMicroelectronics. This device is designed for use in a wide range of electronic applications, including computers, data storage, and communication systems where high-speed logic synchronization is essential. The M74HC377M1R belongs to the HC family, which is well-known for its high noise immunity and low power consumption.

The device features eight D-type flip-flops with common clock and clock enable signals. The flip-flops capture the state of their individual D-inputs on the rising edge of the clock when the clock enable (CE) input is low. When CE is high, the flip-flops retain their previous state, regardless of the D-inputs or the clock signal. This clock enable function provides a convenient way to control multiple flip-flops simultaneously, making it easier to manage complex data operations.

With its wide operating voltage range of 2V to 6V, the M74HC377M1R is versatile and can be used in environments with varying power supply conditions. The low power consumption characteristic of the HC family is maintained, ensuring that the device operates efficiently even in power-sensitive applications.

For ease of implementation, the M74HC377M1R is available in an SO-20 package, which is compatible with surface mount technology (SMT). This packaging allows for a compact design footprint and is suitable for automated assembly processes, thus enabling high-density PCB layouts.

Key features of the M74HC377M1R include:

• Eight edge-triggered D-type flip-flops
• Common clock and clock enable inputs
• Wide operating voltage range: 2V to 6V
