ON Semiconductor MC74AC377DWR2G Octal D-Type Flip-Flop with Clock Enable

The MC74AC377DWR2G from ON Semiconductor is a high-performance, octal D-type flip-flop integrated circuit with clock enable functionality. Designed for use in a wide range of digital applications, this device is a crucial component for systems requiring the storage and retrieval of data bits. The flip-flop is edge-triggered, capturing data on the rising edge of the clock signal, which ensures reliable and predictable operation in synchronous data handling environments.

Each flip-flop has an individual data input (D), clock input (CLK), and clock enable (CE) input. The clock enable must be in the active state for the flip-flop to accept data; otherwise, the output will remain in the previous state, providing a convenient method for controlling multiple flip-flops with a single signal. Additionally, this device features a master reset (MR) input that, when activated, clears all flip-flops, setting the outputs to a low state regardless of other input conditions.

The MC74AC377DWR2G is fabricated with ON Semiconductor's advanced CMOS technology, delivering high-speed operation while maintaining low power consumption. This makes it an ideal choice for power-sensitive applications such as portable devices, battery-operated equipment, and power-efficient computing systems.

Key features of the MC74AC377DWR2G include:

• Eight edge-triggered D-type flip-flops with individual D inputs
• Common clock enable (CE) for all flip-flops
• Master reset (MR) input to clear all flip-flops
• High-speed operation with typical toggle frequency of 150 MHz
• Wide operating voltage range of 2V to 6V
• Output drive capability of 24 mA at 5V
• Industry-standard 20-lead SOIC package for ease of PCB design and assembly

The MC74AC377DWR2G is provided in a 20-lead SOIC package, which is not only space-efficient but also amenable to automated surface-mount assembly processes. This package is compatible with the majority of existing PCB layouts, ensuring a seamless integration into both new designs and existing systems that require an upgrade or replacement of similar components.

With its robust design and ON Semiconductor's commitment to quality, the MC74AC377DWR2G is a reliable choice for designers looking to implement data storage elements in their digital logic circuits. Whether for use in communication systems, computer peripherals, or complex data processing units, this octal D-type flip-flop offers a blend of performance and efficiency that is hard to match.
