74ACT11374DW datasheet by Texas Instruments

74ACT11374DW Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended operating voltage range for the 74ACT11374DW?
  The recommended operating voltage range for the 74ACT11374DW 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 74ACT11374DW?
  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 74ACT11374DW?
  The maximum frequency of operation for the 74ACT11374DW is typically around 100 MHz, but it can vary depending on the specific application and operating conditions. It's recommended to consult the datasheet and perform simulations to determine the maximum frequency for a specific design.
• How do I ensure that the 74ACT11374DW is properly terminated to prevent signal reflections?
  It's recommended to use a termination resistor (e.g. 50 ohms) at the output of the device to prevent signal reflections and ensure signal integrity. The termination resistor should be placed as close to the output pin as possible.
• Can I use the 74ACT11374DW in a 3.3V system?
  While the 74ACT11374DW is specified for 5V operation, it can be used in a 3.3V system with some limitations. The device will still function, but the output voltage levels may not be as high, and the noise margin may be reduced. It's recommended to consult the datasheet and perform simulations to determine the feasibility of using the device in a 3.3V system.
