SN74BCT8373ADW datasheet by Texas Instruments

SN74BCT8373ADW Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended operating voltage range for the SN74BCT8373ADW?
  The recommended operating voltage range for the SN74BCT8373ADW is 4.5V to 5.5V, with a typical voltage of 5V.
• How do I ensure signal integrity when using the SN74BCT8373ADW in a high-speed application?
  To ensure signal integrity, use a low-impedance PCB design, keep signal traces short, and use termination resistors as needed. Additionally, consider using a signal integrity analysis tool to simulate and optimize your design.
• Can I use the SN74BCT8373ADW in a 3.3V system?
  While the SN74BCT8373ADW is specified for 5V operation, it can be used in a 3.3V system with some limitations. However, the output voltage will be reduced, and the device may not meet all specifications. Consult the datasheet and application notes for more information.
• How do I handle power sequencing when using the SN74BCT8373ADW in a system with multiple power rails?
  To ensure proper operation, power up the VCC pin before the input signals, and power down the VCC pin after the input signals. Additionally, consider using a power sequencing controller or a voltage supervisor to manage power-up and power-down sequences.
• What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the SN74BCT8373ADW?
  The maximum clock frequency supported by the SN74BCT8373ADW is 100 MHz, but this can vary depending on the specific application and operating conditions. Consult the datasheet and application notes for more information.
