SN54AS04J Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended operating voltage range for the SN54AS04J?
  The recommended operating voltage range for the SN54AS04J is 4.5V to 5.5V, although it can operate from 3V to 5.5V with reduced performance.
• How do I handle the input pins when they are not in use?
  When the input pins are not in use, they should be tied to a valid logic level (either VCC or GND) to prevent them from floating and causing unwanted behavior.
• What is the maximum frequency of operation for the SN54AS04J?
  The maximum frequency of operation for the SN54AS04J is typically around 100 MHz, although this can vary depending on the specific application and operating conditions.
• Can I use the SN54AS04J in a 3.3V system?
  Yes, the SN54AS04J can be used in a 3.3V system, but the output voltage levels may not be as high as those in a 5V system, and the device may not meet the specified propagation delay times.
• How do I ensure that the SN54AS04J is properly decoupled?
  To ensure proper decoupling, a 0.1uF ceramic capacitor should be placed as close as possible to the VCC pin, and a 10uF electrolytic capacitor should be placed near the device to filter out any noise on the power supply.
