SN54S374J Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum clock frequency that the SN54S374J can handle?
  The maximum clock frequency of the SN54S374J is 100 MHz, but it can vary depending on the operating conditions and the quality of the clock signal.
• How do I ensure that the SN54S374J is properly powered and decoupled?
  To ensure proper power and decoupling, use a high-quality power supply with a low impedance output, and decouple the VCC pin with a 0.1 μF ceramic capacitor to ground. Additionally, use a 10 μF electrolytic capacitor to filter out any noise on the power supply lines.
• What is the recommended termination scheme for the SN54S374J?
  The recommended termination scheme for the SN54S374J is to use a series terminator (e.g., 33 Ω) at the far end of the transmission line, and a parallel terminator (e.g., 50 Ω) at the near end of the transmission line.
• How do I handle metastability in the SN54S374J?
  To handle metastability in the SN54S374J, use a synchronizer circuit or a metastable-resistant design technique, such as a double-synchronizer or a triple-synchronizer. Additionally, ensure that the clock signal is clean and has a fast rise time to minimize the likelihood of metastability.
• What is the maximum input voltage that the SN54S374J can tolerate?
  The maximum input voltage that the SN54S374J can tolerate is 5.5 V, but it's recommended to keep the input voltage within the specified operating range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V to ensure reliable operation.
