74ACT11373DW datasheet by Texas Instruments

74ACT11373DW Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended operating voltage range for the 74ACT11373DW?
  The recommended operating voltage range for the 74ACT11373DW is 4.5V to 5.5V, as specified in the datasheet. However, it's recommended to operate the device at a fixed voltage of 5V for optimal performance.
• How do I handle the power-up and power-down sequencing of the 74ACT11373DW?
  It's recommended to power up the VCC pin before the input signals, and power down the VCC pin after the input signals. This ensures that the device is properly initialized and avoids any potential latch-up or damage.
• What is the maximum frequency of operation for the 74ACT11373DW?
  The maximum frequency of operation for the 74ACT11373DW is 100 MHz, as specified in the datasheet. However, the actual frequency of operation may be limited by the system design, layout, and loading conditions.
• How do I ensure signal integrity and minimize noise in my design using the 74ACT11373DW?
  To ensure signal integrity and minimize noise, it's recommended to use proper PCB design techniques, such as using short signal traces, minimizing impedance mismatch, and adding decoupling capacitors near the device. Additionally, consider using series termination resistors and/or parallel termination capacitors to reduce signal reflections and ringing.
• Can I use the 74ACT11373DW in a 3.3V system?
  While the 74ACT11373DW is specified for 5V operation, it can be used in a 3.3V system with some limitations. The device will still function, but its performance may be degraded, and the output voltage levels may not meet the required specifications. It's recommended to consult the datasheet and perform thorough testing to ensure the device meets the system requirements.
