SN74HC377DW datasheet by Texas Instruments

SN74HC377DW Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum frequency of operation for the SN74HC377DW?
  The maximum frequency of operation for the SN74HC377DW is 40 MHz.
• How do I ensure that the outputs are not damaged during power-up or power-down?
  To prevent damage to the outputs during power-up or power-down, it is recommended to tie the OE (output enable) pin low during these transitions.
• What is the recommended operating voltage range for the SN74HC377DW?
  The recommended operating voltage range for the SN74HC377DW is 2V to 6V, with a typical operating voltage of 5V.
• Can I use the SN74HC377DW in a 3.3V system?
  Yes, the SN74HC377DW can be used in a 3.3V system, but the output voltage will be limited to 3.3V, and the device may not be able to drive as much current.
• How do I handle the asynchronous reset input (MR) during power-up?
  It is recommended to tie the MR (master reset) pin high during power-up to prevent the device from resetting unexpectedly.
