CD74HCT368M datasheet by Texas Instruments

CD74HCT368M Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended operating voltage range for CD74HCT368M?
  The recommended operating voltage range for CD74HCT368M is 4.5V to 5.5V, although it can operate down to 3V with reduced performance.
• How do I handle the output enable (OE) pin in my design?
  The output enable (OE) pin should be connected to a logic low (GND) to enable the outputs, and to a logic high (VCC) to disable the outputs. Leaving OE unconnected or floating can cause unpredictable behavior.
• What is the maximum frequency of operation for CD74HCT368M?
  The maximum frequency of operation for CD74HCT368M is typically around 30-40 MHz, although this can vary depending on the specific application and operating conditions.
• How do I ensure reliable data transfer with CD74HCT368M?
  To ensure reliable data transfer, ensure that the input signals are clean and meet the specified voltage and timing requirements, and that the outputs are properly terminated to prevent signal reflections.
• Can I use CD74HCT368M in a 3.3V system?
  Yes, CD74HCT368M can be used in a 3.3V system, but the output voltage levels may not be fully compatible with 3.3V logic. It's recommended to use a level translator or voltage regulator to ensure proper signal levels.
